The ancient country of Yanzhao belongs to the north, and the folk customs have been fierce and martial since ancient times. Han Yu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote "Yan Zhao is generous and sad", and Li Bai even wrote a poem "Hu Man Wu Yinggou frost and snow". The silver saddle and the white horse set each other off and galloped.
Within ten steps, kill one person, cross a thousand miles, leave no one behind. After you finish, brush off your clothes, don't show any sound, and hide in the depths. "Great Hao qi.
Qilu is a great scholar, and Yanzhao is a leisure strong man. Zhao Yan crosses the Central Plains from the inside and controls the desert from the outside. The land is deep, the sun is shining and the weather is cool. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists who regard the Central Plains as a hero, and is famous for being a hero. Du Mu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, lamented that this place was "the land where kings get kings". Zhao Yan's land is more famous, and Hebei's army is braver.
During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao, the most heroic monarch of the State of Zhao, was the first Zhao army to carry out an important reform in the ancient military history of China, that is, riding and shooting with Khufu. Since then, cavalry has truly become the main winning unit in the ancient battlefield, changing the previous unit pattern dominated by chariots and infantry. After riding and shooting, Zhao's face took on a new look and his military strength increased greatly. After several decisive battles with Xiongnu, Zhao became the only army that could compete with it at the end of the Warring States Period. Zhao She, one of the eight generals in the Warring States, annihilated more than 80,000 people in Qin Jun for the first time, which shocked the six countries in World War I; Later, the armies of Qin and Zhao won and lost each other. Until the battle of Changping, due to Zhao Kuo's command error, Zhao's elite was lost, and the only army that could compete with it was destroyed. However, many famous soldiers of Zhao, such as Zhao She, Lian Po, Li Mu, Le Cheng, Pang Yuan, etc., were brilliant stars at the end of the Warring States Period.
The second Yan army in the Warring States period, though small and inclined to the northeast, was the last country to perish, with fierce resistance. In 284 BC, Yan Zhaowang appointed Le Yi as the general, and unified the army of Yan State to fight against Qi State. In half a year, more than 70 cities in Qi State were connected together. In the end, there were only two cities in Qi, Ju and Jimo, and the rest were incorporated into the territory of Yan. Jing Ke, the first chivalrous man in the history of Yan State, has been passed down to this day.
Liu Xiu, the third founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, marched into Hebei and proclaimed himself emperor in Baixiang, Hebei. Most of his troops came from Zhao Yan and Hebei.
Fourthly, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Scarf Uprising initiated by Sean and Zhang Jiao almost destroyed the Han Dynasty. Sean and Zhang Jiao were originally from Hebei, and most of them were from Hebei. Yuan Shao, born in Youqing and Jizhou, was the most powerful warlord at that time. Unfortunately, his talent is not good. Although he has millions of soldiers in four States, he has lost the opportunity to compete in the world. Although Hebei's army failed to make contributions, the famous soldiers from Hebei in the Three Kingdoms period were brilliant in military exploits: Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Zhang He, Le Jin, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Cheng Pu and Han Dang.
In the fifth "An Shi Rebellion" in Li Longji during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan and Shi Siming led the army of Hebei Province to rise from Yuyang, and wrote the poem "Until the war drum, from Yuyang, it shook the earth and broke the tune of rainbow skirts and feather clothes", and went straight to Chang 'an. From Yuyang (now near Beijing) to Chang 'an, the fighting capacity of Zhao Yan's army was overwhelming. Although it is a rebel, it does not affect our evaluation of the combat effectiveness of its troops. So the Tang Dynasty changed from strong to weak.
The sixth Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was from Xingtai, Hebei, and later Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizu were from Zhuozhou, Hebei. At that time, the prime minister Zhao Pu was from Hebei. In this way, the main forces of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty also came from Hebei Province. It was not until Zhao Kuangyin that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were separated.
Other famous officials from Zhao Yan include: Boyi, Shu Qi, Bian Que (the imperial doctor of China), Lin Xiangru (the general), Wang Mang (the person who perished in the Western Han Dynasty), Mao Sui (the volunteer), Dong Zhongshu (the famous official who deposed a hundred schools of Confucianism), Dou Ying (the famous official who is about to enter the Western Han Dynasty) and Li Yannian (the China musician). Li Daoyuan (geographer), Dou Jiande (warlord at the end of the Sui Dynasty), Liu Heita (warlord at the end of the Sui Dynasty), Wei Zhi (famous poet of the Tang Dynasty), Han Yu (great poet of the Tang Dynasty), Lu, Gao Shi, Jia Dao (great poet of the Tang Dynasty), Huang Chao (leader of peasant uprising army at the end of the Tang Dynasty), Guo Wei (founding emperor of the later Zhou Dynasty) and Lu Junyi (the first plow in the world). (Famous Minister in Qing Dynasty), Guan Hanqing (Great Dramatist), Cao Xueqin (Dream of Red Mansions), Zhang Zhidong (Minister of Westernization), Huo Yuanjia (Hero), Wang Wu (Chivalrous Man in Late Qing Dynasty), Li Dazhao (China * * *), Wang Shizhen (Three Heroes in the North), Feng (Three Heroes in the North) and Zhang Xun (Great Warlord). Others that are not clearly recorded or controversial, such as Huangdi, Zhang, Feng Yuxiang, are not listed. As for the Yellow Emperor, I only explain that the battle of Zhuolu and the battle of Sakamoto, which decided Chinese civilization, both took place in Hebei. As for where the Yellow Emperor is, people should think for themselves.
From the third year of Shunzhi to the end of the twenty-fourth year of Guang Jun, the martial arts examination in Qing Dynasty was conducted 1 12 times. That is to say, a total of 1 12 Wulin champions, 1 12 second place and Hua Tan were produced, and a total of 336 Wulin top three (Ding Jia) were produced. 1 12 recorded the names of top martial arts masters, but at present only 92 people can know their native places, and the remaining 2 1 people have yet to be verified. Among the 92 top martial arts scholars, Hebei Province produced the most, with 32 in total. The following are thirteen in Shandong, eight in Zhejiang, six in Jiangsu, five in Henan and Shanxi, four in Guangdong, three in Gansu and Fujian, two in Jiangxi and one in Sichuan and Shaanxi. In addition, there are six China military flags and three Manchu military flags. Cangzhou, Hebei Province is a world-famous hometown of martial arts. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were 1937 people in Cangzhou.
This shows Zhao Yan's martial arts style.
