Ip Man's original name was Ye Jiwen, 1949. When he went to Xiangxiang from Foshan, he filled in Xiangxiang's ID card, which should be fake because his name was changed to Ye Yi.
Another way of saying it is that IP Man was a middle school student at St. Stephen's College in Xiangxiang in 19 17. Admission records show that he was 18 years old, and later16 1 6/962,17/972. That's it.
With this year, we can know that 1909 began to learn wing chun boxing from master Chen Huashun at the age of ten, which is consistent with the movie "IP Man Prequel", and Sammo Hung played Chen Huashun.
China has been "poor in literature and rich in martial arts" since ancient times, and martial arts is very expensive. Poor people can also go to private schools (free schools), and families with good conditions can go to private schools. A teacher can make at least twenty or thirty people learn something, and such a teacher is just an ordinary teacher. Kong Yiji can do it without too much money.
But martial arts is different. All the people who can live on it are descendants of noble families, and disciples don't charge too much. There are more than a dozen, and the tuition is very expensive.
At that time, the IP Man family was still very rich, and it was said that the house occupied several streets. When Chen Huashun, a descendant of Wing Chun Boxing, went to Foshan to open a martial arts school to collect disciples, he rented the ancestral temple next to Ye Yejia Village, and Ye Wen worshipped at his door on 1906. It is said that he spent a dozen taels of silver, which is equivalent to the current tuition fee of 350 thousand.
The founder of Wing Chun Quan is of course Yan Yongchun, a woman in Qianlong period, and Yan Yongchun's master is the five great masters of Songshan Mountain in Shaolin Temple.
From Yan Yongchun, who was active in the middle and late period of 1700, to Ye Wen's birth in190/00, the time span exceeded 100, during which it was passed down for at least four or five generations, and the details are uncertain.
Since ancient times, many of China's stunts have been passed down from generation to generation, from son to grandson. But Wing Chun is a little special. Liang, Huang Huabao and Liang Erdi are all contemporaries, even colleagues, and all generations are surnamed Liang. If it is really Liang Guilan, it sounds like a woman. If you recruit a son-in-law, the descendants will naturally be surnamed Liang, which will simplify a lot. Of course, this is just speculation. If it is Liang, then he is so close to the people in a troupe that he has passed on all his unique skills to others. This relationship is also serious.
1924 After graduation, Ip Man went to Japan. 1926 after returning to China, he married Zhang Yongcheng, the daughter of a diplomat. At that time, IP Man worked in the Flower Donation Bureau, and his job was to collect flowers and pay taxes in a gynecological hospital. This scene is implied in "A Generation of Masters".
In his spare time, Ye Wen often hangs out in the Tooth Bird Cigarette Club and makes friends with many rich children. This not only laid the groundwork for IP Man's future social interaction, but also laid the curse for his bad habits in his later years.
According to Wikipedia, 1937 After the Anti-Japanese War began, Ye Wen transferred to the detective team and participated in the intelligence class training of Guo Minfu's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. He used to be the secretary of Foshan inspection brigade and the chief of Guangzhou prevention inspection.
1945 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, IP Man was appointed as the captain of the criminal investigation team of the police station, and was promoted to inspector general and acting director.
1949, the new China was founded, and IP Man became the captain of the patrol in the southern district of Xu Wei headquarters.
In short, this past event is a black history, so that 1949 Ip Man changed his first name and surname to Xiangxiang.
After arriving at Xiangxiang Lane, Ip Man temporarily settled in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Workers' General Union for boarding. Liang Xiang, chairman of the labor union, played a trick on Ye Wen and later became his first disciple in Xiangxiang. There is a similar bridge in IP Man 4, but the Chinese Association in Chinatown in the United States.
Except for disciple Liang Xiang, there is no official record about who Ye Wen fought with. It can be said that the battles in the movie are all made up.
Ip Man can carry forward Wing Chun Boxing for at least several reasons.
The first is IP Man's personal understanding. Since ancient times, China's martial arts have been intertwined with metaphysics. On the one hand, there are too many metaphysical things, on the other hand, the routines are too complicated to learn. Wing Chun Boxing itself defines itself in martial arts, focusing on the application of physique in actual combat, while Ye Wen disassembled the complex wing Chun Boxing routine into a series of simple movements. It was originally called "Shuanglong grabs the pearl, the dragon wags its tail, the white crane shines its wings, the hungry tiger catches the sheep, and the swallow smokes" ... so a set of esoteric methods came out. When coming to Ye Wen, it is divided into four words: "stand, palm, arm, squat, slap and hit", which is easy to understand and learn.
Bruce Lee was 10 years old. After being bullied by his classmates, he came here to study. After studying for a few days, he beat his classmates with a Wing Chun voucher. Do you think this fist is easy to learn and practical?
Secondly, the objective environment of Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang circle is small and influential. Ip Man first went to Xiangxiang Lane at 1950, taught apprentices at Da 'nan Street in Sham Shui Po, then went to Haitan Street at 1953, set up a library at Lida Street at 1955, and hid in Li Zhengwu Village at 1955, taking students for a while. This area is an active area of Xiangxiang film and television industry. Bruce Lee's father, Li Haiquan, is a famous dramatist. Bruce Lee appeared on the screen at the age of three months, and starred in the film The Road is Thin, 1 1 year old. It is inevitable that such a little star will look for Ye Wen from the social circle.
Ip Man hid in Li Zhengwu Village of 1955 because he was careless in teaching his students. Liang Xiang, the great disciple of Xiangxiang, finally called on other students to jointly write an exhortation letter to IP Man.
At that time, 56-year-old Ye Wen read this letter and immediately gave birth to a son with Li's little lover who moved to the village without saying anything. Focus, 56 years old.
Of course, revenge is not a gentleman. After seven years, 1962, Ye Zhun and Ye Zheng finally came to Xiangxiang Lane, trying to persuade Ye Wen to give up the Tooth Bird Monument and continue to teach his disciples boxing.
So the question of the movie "Ip Man 4" came.
People are in Xiangxiang, and their sons are around. This thing should be after 1962.
Ip Man came to Hong Kong on 1949, and his wife Zhang Yongcheng and two sons have been in Foshan. They never met Ip Man until Zhang Yongcheng died in 1960. However, in order to fulfill Ye Wen in the film, Zhang Yongcheng seems to have died long ago.
It seems that Mrs. Li Zheng's property didn't even leave her name. It is said that she is a Shanghainese woman, somewhat close to the plot of Zhang Ziyi in The Master, but what is certain is that she is by no means such a well-known figure.
In the movie, Bruce Lee performed three-finger push-ups and inch fists on the court. This is the situation of California 1964 Long Beach International Karate Championship. Then it is almost certain that the story of IP Man 4 happened in this period. However, Ye Zheng was born in 1936. At this time, he has reached the age of 28. Why does he still look like a middle school student?
A well-off family, he studied martial arts in his early years, became a policeman in his later years, and hung out with celebrities and rich children. He spread boxing in middle age, avoided disaster and improved traditional martial arts teaching methods. After a hard life, he achieved a little success, and then fell into the tooth bird piece. Finally, with the efforts of his disciples, he spread China Wushu and Wing Chun to all parts of the world.
You ask me if IP Man can fight? I'm sure I can fight, but it depends on who I fight.
Do you believe that a 65-year-old wizened old man can turn over the coach of Qiangmei Sea Meat 1964? Heavyweight is not a gear, this thing doesn't exist at all.
In this matter, one weight is better than three. Classical Wushu in China is a long-term work, which takes three to five years to succeed and ten to eight years to be effective. Everyone should practice kung fu for twenty or thirty years. Do you want meat people to learn this? Does China Meat Team teach itself Shaolin Bagua Wing Chun?
The compulsory courses of our own meat team are meat boxing, enemy boxing and Sanda; The sea meat in the United States is mainly MCMAP, which is the full name of the marine corps martial arts project, which translates into the marine corps martial arts subject. Wushu, Wushu, not only refers to China Wushu, but also includes all kinds of armed fighting, including European Wushu, Japanese fencing and so on.
The purpose of MCMAP is not actual combat, but to strengthen the basic physical fitness of recruits. The final assessment is not actual combat confrontation, but the assessment of completing a full set of postures. MCMAP was actually implemented after 2000. I wonder if the Meat Team introduced China Wushu at the end of the film.
Wing Chun's influence in the world is still very great, on the one hand, Bruce Lee's influence, on the other hand, Liang Xiang, Liang Ting and other disciples' efforts. Of course, it is basically the characteristics of Wing Chun Boxing, which is different from many other fancy martial arts or qigong metaphysics. Wing Chun Boxing pays attention to actual combat and technology, which in itself meets the needs of modern people, especially overseas Chinese, to learn martial arts and self-defense.
Of course, this does not mean that China Wushu has no place in the world. At least, the influence of China Wushu is not inferior to or even stronger than that of Japanese Ninjutsu and Thai Muay Thai. Wing Chun is absolutely indispensable, and Ip Man is also a master.
It should be much better than IP Man. Bruce Lee is a real fighter, completely different from Jet Li and Jackie Chan's acting school. Jeet Kune Do, created by Bruce Lee, aims to deny you a chance to punch or to stop you even if you punch, no matter whether the posture is beautiful or not.
Can Bruce Lee play the world champion with MMA? This is an exaggeration. After all, Bruce Lee's main business is making movies. If Bruce Lee doesn't make movies in his heyday and focuses on fighting, I think he still has the strength to win the championship.
Readers who don't believe it can search for Bruce Lee in the 1967 Long Beach Championship on Youku to watch the live battle between Bruce Lee and people in the 1967 Long Beach Championship. Finally, in the actual combat with protective gear, we can see that Bruce Lee's reaction speed and actual combat skills are extraordinary.
Of course, broadcast gymnastics can strengthen the body. Why not use a variety of martial arts? Therefore, learning martial arts will definitely play a role in strengthening the body, as long as it is not possessed.
Is Tai Ji Chuan useful? Of course it works. You don't type anything. All you have to do is sit on the ground and practice hard to calm your mind. At this time, your brain will automatically start the optimization function, similar to the defragmentation and optimization of computer hard disk, which is of course good for people.
Can standing there in one posture hurt your knees when practicing Tai Chi? Of course it hurts. It hurts to hold any position for too long. Climbing stairs will hurt your knees, jogging will hurt your knees. Running water does not rot, and a little damage is the true meaning of life and health. Just don't be too long and too frequent.
Wushu is not Wushu. The martial arts novels written by Jin Yong are essentially fantasy novel, just like the Lord of the Rings of Harry Potter. If you really believe that people can practice eight sunflower classics, you might as well believe that holding chopsticks and saying a spell to the teacher can turn it into a frog.
Why did China's ancient martial arts emphasize performance rather than actual combat? Indeed, what China people understood two thousand years ago was only understood by westerners a hundred years ago. What? The scale of ancient wars in China was much larger than that in the West. When two European kings fought, thousands of people were a big scene.
What about China? There are hundreds of thousands of people in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What is the most important thing at this time? Strategy! Tens of thousands of people crowded together to fight, knives, guns, sticks together, and any fighting skills were fake. Therefore, in ancient China, strategic wisdom was the most important thing, while China Wushu only came from assassins and thieves, dance drama performances, or Taoist dreams of cultivating immortals, which had no practical value.
Westerners didn't really realize the value of strategy and tactics until they invented guns, especially after World War I. Of course, westerners are more sober than we are now, and American soldiers are too lazy to learn fighting skills. In the distance, they directly called for air support for bombing. If they come near, they will shoot with machine guns. If they come near, they will shoot people. If they are really close, they will have the advantage of knife and physical strength. Therefore, it is much more useful to eat well every meal and exercise regularly to keep fit than to spend ten or eight years practicing martial arts.
Donnie Yen hopes that IP Man 4 can end his kung fu movies, and I also hope that one day everyone can end the martial arts fantasy. Spider-Man, Iron Man and Batman can stimulate people's enthusiasm for science, but for the development and innovation of science and technology, martial arts novels can bring no more than Harry Potter.
Ip Man 4
Recommended index: 4
On the whole, it is not as wonderful as expected. Finally, it is obvious that Donnie Yen is too old to fight. The story setting is also quite depressing. A foreigner broke into the All-China Federation, and it was just a mess. Here are the leaders of various sects. In the face of an American soldier, only the president of the whole Chinatown can resist several times, and only one IP Man can barely win ... Are we China people really sick? The whole movie doesn't make the audience feel how powerful China's martial arts are. At most, IP Man is quite powerful.
At that time, IP Man 1 was the only movie I had ever experienced in my life, and the audience applauded at the end of the movie. Now, I have no idea of applauding Ip Man 4, but it's finally over, and I feel very gratified.
