"Empty your mind, be fromless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
Empty your mind, be fromless. When you pour water into a teapot it takes the shape of a teapot, when you pour it into a cup it takes the shape of a cup. Water can flow, penetrate, drip and destroy everything at the same time! Become water! My friend!
Art is not a whitewashed ornament, it is the work of the fire of the intellect, a skill that has been given free rein. It is a work that ignites the fire of the intellect, a skill that has been given free rein. Art is the openness of the individual's mind and spirit, which can deepen the depth and breadth of the mind. The use of different techniques and tools is a step towards this openness.
The purpose of art is not to be selfish and to sublimate one's own soul and consciousness, but to open the minds, hearts, and wills of all men to the harmonization of the world.
An artist is not perfect, even if he or she has a great deal of skill. It is only an intermediate stage in the development of continuous progress and spiritual response. Perfection cannot be sought in appearance or form, but is emanated from the depths of the human heart.
The activity of art is not exclusively in art itself. It penetrates into a wider world, where art of all shapes and sizes converges, and spiritual harmony and ethereal connection are realized.
From the above, it is clear that the process of art comes from real life, and real life is true.
Water has five properties:
● Water can be put into a bowl and become the shape of a bowl, and into a cup and become the shape of a cup. It is so pliable, adaptable, collaborative, and not just brute force against it.
●Water, though very patient, can at times appear to be immensely powerful: sometimes it is strong enough to push a boulder easily. Thus a man who is calm as water can use his great inner strength against an arrogant and conceited challenger.
● Water, so clear when it is still, becomes muddy and destructive when it is raging and roaring. Our minds are clearest when we are at peace and have excellent self-control.
● Water is able to move forward in spite of the weight. It flows over fences and through substrates without fading. It never separates, has no factions that divide and gang up, is equal and mutually supportive in all circumstances, and can flow over any object on the surface of the earth.
● If you collaborate with water then it is your friend, if you fight back against it then it becomes your enemy. A person who is full of fear and panic is very likely to sink if he falls into the water; whereas a calm person in the water is likely to float up due to the support of the water, just as in reality, if people fight and are hostile to each other, then they will spiral into a bottomless abyss of conflict, suspicion and hatred. Only those who are noble and trustworthy will be able to adapt to each other and live together more peacefully.
● Friend, be like water!
The best analogy for Jeet Kune Do is like a finger pointing to the moon. Don't mistake the finger for the moon, and don't focus on the finger at the expense of the rest of the sky. The finger is only there to guide you to the light, and it is up to you to realize how much you can get, or how far you can see.
Who am I?
Who am I? This is an old question that many people ask themselves over and over again. Although everyone can see his own face through the mirror image, although he knows his own name, age and the past, for the real "self", many people may not be able to truly understand, and therefore still have to ask "who am I"? Am I a giant in the temple, or am I a mediocre person who is closed and confused? Am I a great man standing proudly in the world, or am I like a child lost in the wilderness, filled with fear? Of course we don't want to see ourselves in such a state, but we are afraid that this is the reality. However, we can still find what we want, and those who strive for excellence with faith will be spiritually cleansed by perseverance, and those who dare to survive in the face of adversity will be able to see themselves in the mirror when they look at their reflection.
What is Jeet Kune Do? I'll be the first to admit: it's not an easy task to flesh out Intercepting Fist Do. Instead of trying to explain what it is, it is much clearer to prove what it is not.
Kung Fu is a special skill, a fine art, not a physical activity. It is a subtle art that requires a combination of intellect and skill. The principles of kung fu cannot be learned, but, like science, they require empirical evidence, from which conclusions can be drawn. It must be left to nature, like a flower that blossoms from a mind free of feelings and desires. The core of the principle of Kung Fu is the Tao, the naturalness of the universe.
Is it a giant among men, king in the contest time and time again, or is it an impotent coward? Always clumsily getting in his own way? I am a confident gentleman, instrumental, powerful and strong, calling people at first sight, born to be a role model for others? Or am I a coward, helpless in a crowd of strangers? Under the hard smile is the trembling of a lost child? Most of us aspire to be one of these people and fear to be the other.
Tales often told by the dragon
Here, then, is a story often told by the Patriarch, a famous Zen koan:
" Let me tell you a story I heard from my master (referring to the old Wing Chun Patriarch Ip Man)," Patriarch Li Zhenfan often began: "It is the story of a Japanese Zen master who accepted the invitation of a university professor to ask about Zen".
"It was obvious to this Zen master from the moment they started talking about brigandage that the university professor was not very interested in learning Zen, because the latter was always giving his opinions and learning. The Zen master listened patiently and finally suggested going for tea. The Zen master poured the professor's cup to the brim, while still continuing to pour the tea afterwards."
"Seeing the tea overflowing, the professor couldn't help but say, 'The cup is full, don't pour any more'". "'Just like this cup' said the Zen master; 'you are full of your own opinions and theories. How can I teach you Zen unless you first empty your cup '."
"The value of a teacup lies in its emptiness."
Grandmaster Li Zhenfan studied Wing Chun at the age of 14, and at the age of 18, he went to the United States alone to make his way in the world, practicing martial arts all over the world, learning and borrowing the techniques and theories that he thought were useful, and finally, from the world's hundreds of martial arts systems, he refined and selected 26 classic types of martial arts techniques as the basic elements of Zhenfan Intercepting Fist Do, thus founding the all-pervasive and all-knowing Zhenfan Intercepting Fist Do at one fell swoop and affecting the entire world martial arts scene, and was regarded as the "King of Kung Fu" by the people of the time. "However, in the face of such a great achievement, Grandmaster Li Zhenfan is still learning and practicing, always improving and perfecting, because in the Grandmaster's view, only by constantly 'emptying your cup' can you continue to absorb all the useful things, add your own specialties, and apply what you have learned to your own use.
Remember: as the Zen master said, "The value of a teacup lies in its emptiness", in martial arts and in working life, Zhenfan Jeet Kune Do practitioners must always empty their cups, in order to taste the tea in other people's cups.
In this way, the Zhenfan Jeet Kune Do practitioner's dissatisfaction can exclude his or her own outdated ideology, and - by constantly accommodating new methods and ideas, by constantly learning new things, and by understanding new things - he or she maintains unending creativity, adaptability, and development.
"Empty your cup before you can fill it again"
"Empty to be whole".
His stated Intercepting Fist Doctrine
---- "I've never seen a rock hit a man."
---- "Only beasts duel."
---- "The best way to kill someone is with a pistol, and the purpose of a booby-trap is to push yourself to the limit physically and mentally, and you get to that point by understanding the cosmic pale."
---- "It's martial arts training, not murderous tricks."
--- "Not thinking, but an intuition.

Like a little boy lost in the dark forest.
Many of us are eager to succeed,?
Many of us want to succeed,?
Even though we have the ability,?
We have the ability to turn our ideals into reality.
Only those who cultivate natural intuition

I am my own fuel,?
Exhausting myself.?

Self-confidence
If you "think" you're going to lose, you already have.
If you "think" that you do not dare, you do not dare.

Unknown Poem
The breeze on the shore blows a gust of coolness;?
The lake and the sky are the same color, but the sun sets in crimson.
The deep water of the lake, eliminating a lot of clamor.
The lake's shores are a picturesque place to visit.
The only thing you can do is to take a step back and forth, and then you'll be able to see what's going on in the world.
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
In the staggered courtyard, a few wisps of fresh spring water burst down like pearls;?
The moonlight is like silver,
as if it were a song from the sky.
Under the moonlight,
I lightly move and slowly display the wind of kung fu.
No self,
No other?
The heart is in the body, and the mind is in the body.

Text Croatian dragon fans
Love is like friendship on fire
Love is like friendship on fire
Love is like friendship on fire.
It starts as a flame,
beautiful, often hot and fierce,
but still only light and wavering.
When love grows old,
our hearts mature,
our love becomes like coal,
burning fully unable to help itself.
Our love became like coal.
The Sun Goes Down
The bright sun sets over the western mountains,
coloring the sky a golden yellow.
Lonely on the top of a small hill, smoky and misty in the distance,
A golden dragon lies coiled and watching,
With fading dreams, dying in this bright west. ?
"Falling Leaves"
The wind dances wildly with the rain,
Outside in the garden,
A tiny yellow leaf clings desperately,
to its motherly branch,
I pick up the leaf,
and wedge it in a book,
giving it a home.
I picked up the leaf,
and put it in a book,
giving it a home.
Farewell
Rain, ?
Dark clouds, ?
Falling flowers,?
The dark moon,?
The birds fly away from ......?
The fall is approaching, and it is time to leave,?
The first time I saw the movie was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I saw the movie.
We have not yet reached the place where our feelings end up.
This time it will be a long time,?
When, ah! When?
When will we walk together again?
Hand in hand?
You and me?
The good times may never come again,?
For a moment ...... The time has come for us to say goodbye, and it's over.
The beautiful rose is dead,?
But her scent remains,?
When the day is short and the night is long?
Please let me leave you this poem,?
When the silent world possesses you,?
When the world of silence takes hold of you,
and the sorrows eat away at you;?
Please remember, please remember,?
My thoughts have always been of you.
Our time together was like a sweet dream,?
It was too sweet.
The sweetness is too bitter,?
Wake up only in heavenly paradise.?
Now you are vanishing like a dream,?
We can only meet by chance in our dreams.
Beloved, come to my dreams, then?
We can only meet by chance in our dreams.
The moon is as silver as the sea this night, and the moon is as silver as the sea, and the moon is as silver as the sea.
The first thing you need to know is how to get to the top of the list, and how to get to the bottom.
I'm not going to wake up from my dream.
The water is flowing relentlessly to the west,?
The world's most beautiful city is a place where you can see the world, and the world's most beautiful city is a place where you can see the world.
The first time I saw you was when I was a kid, and I was a kid who was a kid.
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world.
The first time I saw you was when I was a kid, and I was a kid, and I was a kid.
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the end of my life.
I wish for the joy of reunion,?
And the sadness of today?
And the sweetness of meeting,?
But I don't know what it's like to be parted!
Frost
Young man?
What's a minute of your time?
You have to hold on to it?
And the time is running out?
Soon you too?
Soon you too?
If you don't believe me?
Please take a look at the backyard.
The snowy white frost?
Is it cold?
And the grass?
Is it green?
Can't you see?
Are we like branches of the same tree?
Are you happy?
Am I happy?
Are you sad?
I weep?
Love?
Can it make a difference in your life and mine?
One of Bruce Lee's favorite poems, "When I Die," was written by a British poetess in the last century
When I die
My dearest, don't mourn me in song?
No roses on my grave
Nor cypresses thick
May the green cover my body
With wet dew and rain?
Remember me if you will
Forget me if you will
I shall not see the shade again
I shall not feel the rain?
I'll never hear the nightingale sing as if it were wailing?
Will I not hear the nightingale sing as if it were wailing?
The sun does not rise, and never sinks
Maybe, maybe I remember you, maybe forget you
In 2008, I bought a book, "Artist of Life - Bruce Lee," which recorded most of the poems of the Dragon, with the passage of time, and gradually forgotten a lot, in fact, the Dragon wrote a lot of poems. The deep water of the lake, eliminating a number of clamor, walking alone on the shore of the lake, the beautiful scenery is like a painting like poetry. The only thing that remains is the gentle footsteps on the side of the side of the body, the sound of the frogs in disbelief and passed away. In the courtyard, a few wisps of spring water burst down like pearls; the moonlight cascades down like silver, like a soft song from the sky. Under the moonlight, I gently move and slowly show the wind of kung fu, no me, no other,
