1776, scorching sun, yellow ears of wheat, there is a beggar in the street of Subao village. He passed by, begging in front of the Tianguan yamen for several days, staying late on purpose, and squatting in front of the Liu family from time to time. It was extremely unreasonable for the Liu family, so they sent someone to kick him out. As soon as he was kicked out, he came again and joked with those who wanted to fight for martial arts on the teaching ground. This man is smart, untidy and in rags. I didn't expect that there were many martial arts experts in the Liujia guarding the courtyard, and there were more than 20 people practicing boxing and martial arts. There is also a master of Hongquan called Yu, who has extraordinary skills. This man is kind and powerful. His eldest disciple, He Huaibi, and his second disciple, Zhang, are outstanding, with unique skills, and stand out among all the disciples. They are masters of the Liu family, and the safety of the Tiangong Liu family depends on this group of masters. Then let a beggar tease and laugh at him in front of the door and ask what "this can also hit people" Several tossing and turning angered Liu's disciples. The big disciple He Huaibi rushed out, showed his skill and taught the beggar a lesson. Unexpectedly, I fell two feet away at the beginning. Then he fell a somersault, and Zhang Chong went up and fell to the ground with only one stroke, and the two of them were swollen and bloody. Seeing this, Tianguan's third son and other disciples did not dare to make a fuss, so they ran back to call Master. The master strode angrily, and they said, who dares to run wild here? Why did you hit my apprentice? The beggar replied, I didn't hit him. They threw themselves on the ground. Master Yu was furious and went up in one step. Say "look at the move" and the two will be entangled. I can't see clearly when I come and go. Master Yu hit harder and harder, but the beggar just dodged and didn't really take it. After several moves, Master Yu became stronger, and the beggar dodged the policeman and skillfully took over. He knocked down Zhang Yuyuan with four or two tricks. Unfortunately, Tian Guan Liu saw this and calmly stopped the contest in front of him. He came forward and asked: Where are you from and how did you fight? A: I didn't hit them. I borrow people's strength, choose people's strategies, steal things, and push the boat with the tide. By entering sideways, the so-called sideways arm is longer than them, which is a back-piercing punch. After a timid explanation, Tianguan was very happy and welcomed him back to the house, cleaned himself up and kept it for his own use. This beggar is the great master Guo Yongfu. For several days, Ji Shu has been secretly caring for his master. Today, when he saw that the master had a place to live, he quietly left here. Master Yu saw that he was in love with someone else, but he was left out, so he took up his luggage and said goodbye and went to another place to make a living. Guo Yongfu came forward to salute, apologize and stopped him, saying that the two of us could learn from each other's strengths and teach martial arts to the Liu's son and the disciples of the nursery school together. Under the custody of Guo and Liu, they were polite to each other, learned from each other, taught boxing together, developed together and got along well.
According to historical records, the so-called Tianguan is Liu, the assistant minister of the official department during the Qianlong period. The official department minister is called Tianguan, and the assistant minister is just a "deputy" Tianguan. Liu's Draft of Qing History: "Liu, whose real name is Deyin, was born in Hongdong, Shanxi Province, and was a juren in the twenty-first year of Qianlong. In twenty-six years, Tong Mingbang was awarded the Cabinet Book and the Ministry of War Chapter, and then transferred to a doctor. In thirty-two years, Fujian was elected to discharge officials and transferred to the official department. Deputy Inspector of the University ... "His main job in life was to be an official in charge of transporting grain and grass during the war. Be good at military affairs, seek technical difficulties and have profound knowledge. From 41 to 44 years (1776- 1779), Liu Yuganlong served as a "deputy" celestial official. This happened because Tianguan's mother died of illness, and Tianguan kept filial piety at home, so Guo Yongfu had the opportunity to settle down and spread his skills. Forty-five years after Qianlong (1780). Liu was summoned by the emperor to talk about Guo Yongfu's martial arts superman, and his martial arts were unparalleled. It was only after Emperor Qianlong gave Guo Yongfu the title of "Shenquan" that he learned.
Guo Yongfu is a descendant of Sophora japonica. It is natural for Tongbei Boxing to take root, sprout and grow under the locust tree. This fierce humanity, the origin of boxing and the revision of related materials all originated from the flood and returned to the flood. In the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1372), Chen Ren, a master of Hongdong martial arts, moved his family to wen county, Henan. Later, people called this village "Chenjiazhuang", and later people became rich and renamed it "Chenjiagou". Chen practiced martial arts and cultivated the fields, showing strength and evil, upholding justice and spreading martial arts, which was passed down from generation to generation. Become the birthplace of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan-Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan. Guo Yongfu is a disciple of Chen (the first 1 1 generation), a descendant of Chen in the ninth generation, and a nephew of Chen. Guo Yongfu's parents died when he was a child, and he was adopted and raised by his uncle to teach boxing.
According to the genealogy of Chenjiagou in wen county and the records of Chenshi Tai Ji Chuan, we can see that Guo Yongfu has developed nine generations from the 12th generation of Chenshi Boxing to Guo Yongfu's arrival in Hongchuan Boxing. Through comparison and calculation, it can be known that Tai Ji Chuan Chen's19th descendants Chen Xiaowang, Chen Liqing and Wang Xian belong to the same generation as Xu Fengshan, Cheng Yongquan, Fan Hanwu, Liu Zhenhu and Qin Yuanshi in Hongdong County. According to An's "Pushing Hands in the East Palace Tai Ji Chuan", "Chen Tai Ji Chuan was created by Chen (Zi Zuting), the ninth descendant of Chen in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties ... On the basis of his ancestral 108 Tongbei Changquan, he absorbed the essence of various folk martial arts schools in the Ming Dynasty, combined with the Yijing, Huangdi Neijing, acupuncture Dacheng and other theories, according to the principle of opening and closing of yin and yang, according to the survey, fans at home and abroad went to Chenjiagou. Authentic Tongbei is in Hongdong. From this point of view, Chen Tai Ji Chuan, Tai Chi Tuina and Tongbei Boxing are sisters of the same ancestry, and they are excellent boxing at different levels, such as health preservation, fighting and performance.
Honest and honest, Hongdong people, have been practicing boxing and martial arts for a long time. There are many kinds of boxing, but they are scattered. The unsystematic development was gradually inherited by the masters of past dynasties. After Guo Yongfu came to Hong in 1776, he got to know the more enlightened Tianguan Liu, which made him develop Tongbei Boxing. Great opportunity. From the scale, norms, theory, practicality, health care and other aspects have been raised to a certain height. Nowadays, people in Hongdong love to use their guns and sticks, and many people have two in their hands. Known as the "hometown of martial arts" is well deserved.
It is said that after Guo Yongfu was old, Ji Shusheng, who was in high spirits in Jijiazhuang Village, Jiade Township, Linfen City (also known as Miaojiazhuang Village, Linfen), took his master back to the government for support and died. There is still Guo Yongfu's tomb at the foot of Wohu Mountain in the east of the village. Since ancient times, mentoring has been like father and son. In fact, Guo Zhixian's life has been full of evil and righteousness, with clear hatred and love, integrity and loyalty, and he is an upright person. There is reason to think that it will be a good life in the future.
