But this domineering attitude has also brought another weakness to Hunan people-lack of flexibility, lack of persistence and sense of compromise. Their hot temper and rigid attitude sometimes make it easy for their partners to "retreat". Therefore, in many fields that need to be handled flexibly, Hunan people are relatively sparse, such as economy, management and technocratic fields. Therefore, it is often said that Hunan people can fight and be in politics, but they are not suitable for business.
However, in any case, Hunan people are the most chivalrous people in China, and Sima Qian's Biography of the Assassin and Jin Yong's martial arts novels are the most intoxicating to Hunan people. Shaolin Temple is in Henan and Wudang Mountain is in Hubei, but Hunan is the largest martial arts base in China. Basically, there are martial arts schools in counties. In previous years, Hunan TV station broadcasted various advertisements for the enrollment and opening of Wushu schools every night, which made some foreigners mistakenly think that Shaolin Temple had moved to Hunan.
There is no authoritative appraisal of Hunan people's martial arts, but Hunan people's habit of practicing martial arts and joining the army is not as good as that of many brother provinces. If some Huxiang children are drafted into the army, they often put wine at home to celebrate. In the eyes of Hunan people, being a soldier is as glorious as being admitted to a key university.
The martial spirit of Hunan people has written a brilliant military history, and the reputation of "no army without Hunan" is not empty talk. In 1956, the People's Liberation Army of China first evaluated senior generals above the general level, among which Hunan accounted for 3 of the 10 grand marshals, 6 of the 10 generals, and 56 generals accounted for more than one-third.
