Shiquan proverb), that goes against the purpose of martial arts. In order to cultivate noble moral character, each sect has formulated a number of rules and requires disciples to strictly abide by them. For example, Shaolin has the "Ten Taboos" in practicing martial arts: "The first taboo is laziness, the second taboo is boastfulness, the third taboo is impatience, the fourth taboo is too much, the fifth taboo is drunkenness, the sixth taboo is arrogance, the seventh taboo is to be litigious, the eighth taboo is to be false, and the ninth taboo is to be careless. Master, ten taboos are to bully the weak. All schools and sects believe: "Kung Fu is limited, but the benevolent are invincible." "(Boxing proverb) Because virtue is not strong enough, you should focus on defense but not attack" (Boxing proverb). The martial arts will not tolerate those who use their skills to bully others or even do evil things, they are Lin's disciples! "He also earnestly warned the monks: "After you have achieved success, do not use it lightly and use your skills to deceive others and forget your virtues. ” These fully show that martial arts people never look at martial arts from the perspective of pure martial arts, but always closely link martial arts with moral character. They believe that: “There is no boxing without morality” (boxing proverb), and insist on “Wen Judgment” "Heart, martial arts is used to judge virtue" (boxing proverb). So, what does martial virtue include? The main ones are: 1. Loyalty to the country and the nation Loyalty to the country and the nation is one of the fine traditions of the Chinese nation. People with lofty ideals in the past dynasties regard "every inch "Mountains and rivers are precious" and "willing to worry about the country." This excellent tradition has been vividly reflected in the martial arts people. For example, there is a song in Shaolin Temple that says: "Punish evildoers and be loyal to the country, and you will always create merit for the nation." "Hongmen" informed its members: "My sect's practice of this technique (referring to Hongjia Quan) has patriotic thoughts in it." Sincere and willing muscles and bones are too weak to serve the country: the East China Sea can be moved, but this ambition cannot be easy; temper the muscles and bones, and leave them for later. "Many martial arts figures are like this, such as Xiang Yu who fought against Qin and restored Chu, Li Guang who fought against the Huns, Yue Fei who fought against the Jin soldiers, Qi Jiguang who fought against the Japanese pirates, Guan Tianpei who fought against the British invaders, and the Boxers who "destroyed the foreign countries" all came from the Wulin is an outstanding hero who loves his country and his family. 2. Another fine tradition of the Chinese nation is to help the people through justice. "Fan Zhongyan has a famous saying: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness. "Also, Confucius emphasized: "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness. Mozi concluded: "Nothing is more valuable than righteousness." "These famous sayings are exactly what they show. There are similar words in martial arts, such as "Always relieve the hardships of the people, save all sentient beings and help those in need" and "punish the bullies and gangsters, rescue the people and promote good people" in "Shaolin Songs". "As the Tang Dynasty people said, "Righteousness cannot be established without chivalry, and chivalry cannot be achieved without righteousness." "There are many people in the martial arts who have practiced this. Zhong Xiang, a farmer in Wuling in the Song Dynasty, declared: "The law of distinguishing the rich from the rich and the poor is not a good law. When I practice the Dharma, I treat the noble and the humble, the rich and the poor alike. ", for this reason, he led the peasant uprising, and the country was named "Chu". Li Baicheng, who was born as a "border soldier", also launched an uprising and overthrew the Ming Dynasty with the slogan of "equalizing the land and freeing food" for the people. As for "Lu Jian" There are many people who are willing to draw their swords to help when there is no injustice. 3. Brave Sacrifice If our people have always had a brave spirit and a spirit of sacrifice, then the army generals are even more so. "Heroes are wrapped in horse leather, and even if they die, they will be sweated by bamboos." These are their creeds. Martial arts, like military affairs, is a career for the brave, and it especially requires the spirit of sacrifice. Therefore, martial arts people also advocate bravery and sacrifice. It is said that "the first is courage, the second is strength, and the third is kung fu", "the first is courage, the second is eye training, the third is strength, and the fourth is dodge", putting "guts" (bravery) first. They are neither afraid of vicious invaders nor brave. They are not afraid of cruel rulers; they are not afraid of bullies or bandits. When they encounter people who oppress the people, they will be like Nie Zheng, the swordsman of the Warring States Period. On top, there are many guards armed with halberds. Nie Zhengzhi, a high-ranking assassin, was tired, causing chaos on both sides. Nie Zheng shouted, dozens of people he killed died because their skin, face, eyes, and intestines were cut out. "When fighting the enemy, they will rush forward like Wang Bo and others: Chishiro in front of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red brocade back and crotch. He is slightly taller than half of the sky, and his wheel knife shines with golden light. He goes up the mountain to eat roe deer. , went down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly he heard that the army was coming, and he swung his sword forward. For example, if Liaodong died, what would happen if he beheaded? Confucius advocated "Be true to your word". The ancient proverb goes: "Being modest will benefit you, but being generous will cause you harm." "This shows that our people attach great importance to integrity and humility. Martial arts people also pay great attention to these things.
Sima Qian once strongly affirmed the ranger: "His words must be true" and "his promises must be true". "Virtue" and "There are many virtues!" For martial arts people, "you should follow a good teacher, and you should also visit a good friend." Follow each other and become a common trend. The boxing proverb also warns people: "There is a sky beyond the sky, and if it is full, it will cause damage." The boxing proverb even says, "One move will make you a teacher." The boxing proverb also advocates making people: "Let people handle it without losing anything." "Chang's Book of Martial Arts" also says: "Anyone who is respectful and humble and does not fight with others can be a gentleman." The Shaolin School advocates: "I would rather be beaten by others. , never hit someone first. ""Stunt skills are only used on thugs, don't use them if you are kind." 5. Diligence and hard work. Anyone who visits the Shaolin Temple will see the monks standing in the training hall (Thousand Buddha Hall). The place sank several inches deep, and everyone was moved by their diligence and hard training spirit, and they all admired them heartily. Indeed, the reason why Shaolin martial arts is outstanding and famous all over the world is entirely due to the diligent and arduous practice of generations of monks. Their chants also show this: "The seventy-two arts must be practiced hard, and there is no leisure in spring, summer, autumn and winter; practice hundreds of times a day, and you will become a hero with persistence." The situation is the same for other sects, so the boxing proverb says: " If you want to be good at martial arts, you should practice it from childhood to old age. "Practice in the summer and practice in the winter." This is also the embodiment of the traditional virtues of our people. "People's livelihood depends on hard work, but hard work will lead to failure", "After all hardships, a beautiful woman will succeed." Such words embody the virtues of our people. The above five points are the basic connotation of martial ethics. Of course, martial ethics is also manifested in other aspects, so I won’t go into details here. Studying martial ethics is of great practical significance today. On the one hand, it can help teach people who learn martial arts, and on the other hand, it can also serve as a reference for others.
