During the great cause of Yang Di the Great, Shaolin Temple was informed that 10000 mountain thieves were about to invade Shaolin Temple. When the monks panicked, the monk Huotou stepped forward and trained 100 young monks to learn Shaolin sticks in a short time, thus protecting Shaolin Temple.
Why Shaolin monks advocate and are good at using sticks has a profound historical origin here.
An important role of early Shaolin Wushu was to protect temples. When using weapons, because Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist temple, "be merciful" is the criterion for monks to act. In this way, monks can't use cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds as weapons when fighting back, which is against the canon. So the monk chose a stick that is usually not a murder weapon. Because walking stick is not only the most commonly used instrument in daily life, but also a deadly weapon in battle.
In ancient times, knives, guns, swords and halberds made of copper, iron and other metals were not made for the people. They are only allowed to be used by the national army. They serve the rulers. Usually, people are not allowed to carry knives and guns with them.
The ancient imperial court has always been strict in the management of cold weapons. Qin destroyed the six countries and collected weapons from the six countries to cast bronze statues, in order to prevent the people from owning weapons. Since soldiers made of metal are not allowed to be owned by the people, Shaolin monks naturally choose sticks that are not regarded as official killing weapons.
Monks like to use sticks because of their living environment. Shaolin Temple is located in the depths of Songshan Mountain, where wolves, insects, tigers and leopards often haunt. Monks live in it and are constantly attacked by wild animals. In self-defense, they used sticks as weapons to resist the attack of wild animals. So since the temple was built, Shaolin monks have the custom of carrying sticks when they go out, which is one of the reasons why monks use sticks. Another reason is that sticks are the easiest to get and make.
Shortly after Huotou Monk, there was a famous story of "Thirteen Stick Monks Saving the Tang King", which was about being unfortunately captured in the war with Zheng. Shaolin Temple is well taken care of by monks. Trina is a monk. The main monks in the temple are interested in Cao Cao, as well as Tan Zong, Pu Hui, Ling Xian, Pu Sheng, Zhi Shou, Zhi Xing, Man and Feng.
In order to thank the Shaolin monks, Li Shimin "respected their righteousness, diligently sent a letter of condolence, and gave 40 hectares of land and a water mill, that is, Cooper Village". In addition, 13 Shaolin monks with outstanding military achievements were not only rewarded, but also named General Tan. Later, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin studied in Shaolin Temple, leaving behind "Mao Changquan" and "Mao Cudgel Method".
During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, a famous monk named Kinnara was born in Shaolin Temple. Legend has it that a group of rebels surrounded Shaolin Temple at that time. Guan Yu, the custodian of Shaolin Temple, went out to meet the enemy, which was also a big defeat. When everyone didn't know what to do, the unkempt monk Kinnara volunteered to go out and fight. Guan Yu, the protector, looked at the monk and said, "As long as you can retreat from the enemy, I am willing to give you the position of protector." I didn't expect Kinnara Shaolin to beat the rebels with such a clever stick. The next day, the monks found that the statue of Guan Yu in the Temple of Heaven in Shaolin Temple was automatically moved out of the temple.
Outside. Everyone carried him, but the idol moved out automatically. Again and again, everyone knows that Guan Yu will never break his word. So, people made a statue in the image of Kinnara and put it in Shaolin Temple. Kinnara, a monk with a torch, became the protector of Shaolin Temple.
In the Ming Dynasty, the southeast coast was repeatedly invaded by Japanese pirates. These pirates are based on coastal islands and often go ashore to burn, kill and rob. Pirates use Japanese swords, and their swordsmanship is strange. The regular army of the Ming army often suffered defeat, so Shaolin monks, who are famous for their martial arts, applied to participate in the war.
At that time, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was a calm mage. He was shocked when he heard about the atrocities committed by the Japanese. He decided to send monk Yue Kong, a great disciple with high martial arts skills, as the leader, leading 3 1 monks from Yue Zhong, Nature, Zheng Hui and think tanks to fight against the Japanese pirates.
These 365,438+0 monks were carefully selected by Yuekong monks one by one. In order to ensure that they can really "beat the monks", Yuekong follows the old rules of Shaolin Temple that "every monk must pass all the exams in Shaolin". After 3 1 person was selected, the temple provided each of them with a horse and a heavy iron bar to beat the enemy with Shaolin stick. Since then, the coastal areas have been safe for a long time.
During this period, many heroes and national heroes emerged. The most famous is "Yulong Qihu". Yu is Yu and Qi is Qi Jiguang. Yu's martial arts originated from Shaolin and was introduced into Shaolin's stick technique, which became a much-told story in Wulin.
Yu not only returned the true merits of Shaolin stick technique, but also wrote a book "Sword Sutra" based on his experience of training for many years and defeating the enemy in the cold.
Because the stick is regarded as a long sword, the Sword Sutra is actually the Stick Sutra. As soon as the Sword Classic came out, Yu's Shaolin stick technique became famous all over the world, and he was known as the "Yugong stick", and the Sword Classic has also become a martial arts classic since the Ming Dynasty.
