When Mr. Wang was young, he lived and studied with his parents in Xingtai County. Before the July 7th Incident, he went to primary school outside the South Guandong Pavilion in Xingtai.
The July 7th Incident took refuge with my parents in Xiakufang Village, Taihang Mountain, Xingtai. In my spare time, I like to listen to drummers singing folk art programs, such as "The Legend of Horses" and "Eight Meanings of Heroes", which laid the foundation for Mr. Wang's basic artistic and cultural skills.
The following spring, I returned to Xingtai County to study at Mr. Wang Laoyu, Longwang Temple, Mashi Street, Nanguan, Xingtai, and Mr. Song Yunbo, a bull market water station. A year later, he transferred to Yi Yang Bookstore (located in the courtyard of Yishengtang Medicine Stack, Xiaodong Street, Nanguan, Xingtai) to study the Four Books (The Analects of Confucius, The University, The Doctrine of the Mean, Mencius), The Book of Songs, Zuo Zhuan and Autumn Water Xuan Ji Yi (kept by Xu Tuocun) in the late Qing Dynasty. At the same time, my teacher learned from Mr. Li Shengduan, a famous teacher in Tai Ji Chuan, a good boxing and equipment kung fu, also known as "opening and closing frame" (now called "Wu Tai Ji Chuan" or "Wu Tai Ji Chuan") to keep fit.
1949 went to Beijing to take part in the revolutionary work at the beginning of the year, first studied at North China Revolutionary University, and then transferred to the first phase of the Central Public Security Cadre School (during the study period, he studied "Opening and Closing Frame" and "Wu Pai Tai Chi Biography" under Mr. Cui);
1950 was assigned to the War Crimes Management Office of the Ministry of Public Security;
1952 to Beijing Public Security Bureau;
1957 was classified as Rightist, and labor reform was decentralized;
1957- 1970, moved to Haidian, Fangshan, Liangxiang and other places in Beijing for labor reform;
1970- 1978, was sent back to Nanhe, Xingtai, and continued to receive re-education for poor middle peasants;
1979, he returned to Beijing and continued to work in the Beijing Supervision Office under the Ministry of Justice;
From 1980 to 1990, he was transferred to the cadre training team of the same system (later changed to Beijing Reform-through-Labor Police School) and served as a teacher, director of the academic affairs office and director of the college department.
Since 1990 retired, he has been engaged in the research, arrangement and promotion of the history, culture, ideas, routines and instruments of Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Ji Chuan of the Five Schools.
A traditional China Tai Ji Chuan.
After decades of practicing boxing, rough experience has created a master of martial arts Taiji theory.
I mainly practiced routines in the early days. "My progress in Tai Ji Chuan's theory is related to an extraordinary experience. ""In 1957, I was classified as a rightist, dismissed and sent to work in the countryside. " Wu Lao is a person who pays attention to study and refuses to waste time. During this period, he considered studying Chinese medicine and other skills, but in the end he decided to study Tai Ji Chuan and his theory deeply. He thinks that Tai Ji Chuan is an ancient and unique boxing, which has the functions of fighting and fitness, and will certainly have great development in the future. At that time, Wu Lao still had a library card of Beijing Library to continue to use, and many historical materials of Taiji Biography can be found in Beitu. Since then, Wu Lao has been wandering in the sea of books, balancing Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and has conducted in-depth study and research on Tai Ji Chuan's technology, theory and origin, and achieved remarkable results. It laid a solid foundation for later writing books, engaging in the editing career of martial arts magazines and becoming a pen in Wulin.
During the Cultural Revolution, fate once again "teased" Wu Lao, but this "teasing" provided an excellent opportunity for Wu Lao to become a master of Tai Ji Chuan in Wu Pai.
Wind and rain life and development
Wu Lao was sent back to his hometown to work and receive re-education from poor middle peasants. From 1970 to 1978, Wu Lao returned to his hometown, returned to the folk, and returned to the fertile ground for the emergence and development of martial arts. Say brother Li. With years of skills, I have been immersed in the sublimation of the theoretical research of "North Map". I once again studied boxing theory with my other disciples and practiced pushing hands and fighting skills. This is a rare opportunity to combine theoretical research with practice for many years, which has enabled Wu Lao to make a leap in the development of Tai Ji Chuan Kung Fu.
Wu Lao's efforts for many years have not been in vain, and his bumpy experience has honed his life.
After retirement, Wu Lao published more than 100 academic articles on Wushu history, Tai Chi exploration, Wushu research, famous artists' elegant demeanor, anecdotes and moral cultivation, which played a positive role in the promotion and development of China Wushu and Tai Ji Chuan. His hard work has attracted the attention of many authors and readers, praising him as a pen in the Wulin. While working hard, he also actively contributed to the promotion of Tai Ji Chuan, a martial arts school. In addition to teaching students and cultivating future generations, he was invited to give lectures to college students and middle-aged and elderly Tai Ji Chuan fans, participate in various martial arts and Tai Ji Chuan friendship associations and seminars, get in touch with outstanding successors of martial arts school Tai Ji Chuan, and vigorously promote martial arts school Tai Ji Chuan. Many of his disciples taught boxing at home and abroad or achieved excellent results in various competitions.
carry forward the cause and forge ahead into the future
As a descendant of Tai Ji Chuan, Wu Lao has all the conditions to become a master of Tai Ji Chuan's theoretical martial arts. As mentioned in the biography, Wu Lao was invited to participate in national Wushu seminars and performances many times, was hired as the editorial board of many professional magazines, was hired as the referee and critic of Wushu competitions many times, and was hired as the consultant of many Tai Ji Chuan organizations. At the invitation of Beijing Sport University Press and Tai Ji Chuan fans, he wrote a 450,000-word monograph on the history of Wushu Tai Ji Chuan by combining literature and history. Because of its rich content, fluent writing and novel viewpoints, it won the praise of the majority of martial arts lovers after its publication.
In this interview, Wu Lao was also very happy to be hired as a member of the advisory Committee composed of many senior martial arts experts from Bowu.com. ..
Taiji Chuan Masters Association was established in Zhuhai (2001.1.28).
Mr. Wu's Classification of Contemporary Tai Ji Chuan
"Family", "Style" and "School" in Taiji Zhuan
As we all know, there are many traditional Tai Ji Chuan schools circulating in the society. According to Wu Lao, Tai Ji Chuan has been founded for more than 100 years, and there was no school in its early days. There is no "type". Before 1930, only some people called it "Yang Jia" and "Jia Hao". There is a "type"
The Biography of Taiji recommended that Yang Luchan teach boxing to fellow countryman Wu Ruqing in Beijing during Daoguang and Xianfeng years of Qing Dynasty (about 1845). Beijing is a place where people gather together, which makes the outside world know and understand the strength and charm of Tai Ji Chuan. From then on, Tai Ji Chuan became famous all over the world.
Around 1927, the then Nanjing government and local army also listed martial arts as the main subject of training, so martial arts fever once again set off in society, and martial arts museums in various provinces, cities and counties were established like mushrooms after rain. With the national political and economic center moved from Beijing to Nanjing at that time, Tai Ji Chuan famous artists such as Yang Shaohou, Yang Chengfu, Wu, Sun Lutang, Hao, Li Xiangyuan, Chen Zhaopi, etc. He has applied to teach boxing in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other places, and extended Tai Ji Chuan's teaching to the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins.
Under the influence of these Tai Ji Chuan masters, Tai Ji Chuan has spread all over the country, and their styles are different, which makes people feel that they are all Tai Ji Chuan, but their routines and postures are obviously different, so they have different Tai Ji Chuan schools.
In 1930s, Ma Libo first used the word "genre" to distinguish different genres in Tai Ji Chuan. This title remained in use until the late 1940s and early 1950s.
popular
Since the 1950s, a series of prescribed routines, such as "Twenty-four Simplified Tai Ji Chuan", have been compiled and published for the convenience of the masses to learn and popularize. Yang, Chen, Wu and other traditional routines have also published relevant books and materials. Therefore, it has been widely accepted that the word "time" is used to distinguish Tai Ji Chuan in different postures.
The word "teacher" was used to distinguish Tai Ji Chuan schools in 1930s, but it became popular in 1980s when many artists published books and audio-visual materials.
The word "teacher" effectively distinguishes the schools and inheritance of Tai Ji Chuan, but it is undoubtedly suspected of being "narrow-minded" in the family. Besides, there are many people with foreign surnames who learn to punch in, so it is obviously inappropriate to use the word "teacher". The use of the word "style" to distinguish schools better reflects the differences, inheritance and styles among different schools in Tai Ji Chuan. Not as narrow as a family. Therefore, it is widely accepted and has been used ever since.
Wu Lao thinks that the word "Shi" still has some shortcomings, because Tai Ji Chuan is both Yang style and Wu style, and different people in different regions practice it differently, and some of them are quite different. However, it is obvious that they are Tai Ji Chuan with the same inheritance and style, which also brings a lot of confusion to many people. They are all Yang-style, Wu-style or Wu-style, and there are more or less actions, but the same action has different names. Who played right? Whose is the real thing? There are such questions and arguments. Therefore, Wu agreed to use the word "pai" to distinguish different schools from Tai Ji Chuan. In his works, he used "martial arts" to represent "martial artist" Tai Ji Chuan.
The word "Pai" can be used to distinguish between Tai Ji Chuan, such as Yang, Wu, Wu, Sun, etc. It can not only distinguish Tai Ji Chuan with different inheritance, but also accommodate Tai Ji Chuan with different styles of play and personal style in the same faction. Wu himself, Hao Yuru, etc. There are many descendants in Wu Pai, but they are all handed down from Wu Yuxiang.
A word "pat" reduces a lot of authentic disputes and increases a lot of tolerance. As long as the early stage is the same inheritance and has the same style and characteristics, even if there are some differences in posture and movements, it can still be a genre, and it should make its own contribution to the inheritance and development of Tai Ji Chuan and the whole Tai Ji Chuan.
Some people worry whether the use of typesetting will form sects. Wu Lao believes that sects are not caused by any words. Without the word "faction", sects cannot be stopped. As long as we strengthen guidance and understand that this "genre" is just a name of Tai Ji Chuan, it is more inclusive and easy to distinguish different genres.
Xingtai martial arts research institute
Li Shengduan was a famous martial artist in Xingtai in his early days. In the 1920s, together with Hao Zhongtian, Zheng Yuenan and Wang Laoyan, he founded the earliest martial arts group in Xingtai-Shaolin Club (located in Shuikeng, Shi Yang). He started classes and accepted apprentices, teaching techniques and equipment such as Tea Boxing, Liuhe Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan. In the Republic of China 19, they responded to the call of the national government and changed the Shaolin club into a martial arts research society.
Hao Weizhen, a master of the first generation, was able to teach his disciples by practicing boxing. Besides Yongnian's geographical proximity to Xingtai, he also benefited from Shen Fuxiu, the owner of Xingtai Tianji Warehouse. When Hao Wengui (whose real name is Yue Ru), the second son of Hao Weizhen, was the treasurer of Tianji Warehouse, Shen Fu embroidered Hao Weizhen's name for a long time and hired Professor Hao to play Tai Ji Chuan. Li Shengduan and Hao Zhongtian took the opportunity to learn from Hao Weizhen. Sure enough, a strict teacher makes a brilliant apprentice, the master teaches well, the disciples learn well, and a large number of Tai Chi masters stand out. This is the main source of Tai Ji Chuan, a popular martial arts in Xingtai, and Chen Guan is one of the outstanding talents of martial arts associations.
Boxing is only for strengthening physical strength.
Wu Lao's hometown is in Nanhe County, Hebei Province, which is only dozens of miles away from Yongnian, the famous hometown of Taiji. The wind of martial arts prevails here and it is also the hometown of martial arts. There are many people who practice Hongquan, Erlang and Meihua Boxing naturally in Tai Ji Chuan. The reason for practicing boxing as a child is simple. Parents just want their children to be stronger.
Mr. Li Shengduan, president of Xingtai Wushu Research Association, specializes in family. At the same time, I followed Wang Pengnian, Hao Zhongtian and Zheng Vietnam and learned a lot of swords, spears and swords. So as to practice a fist and a good body.
