The name Gong Baotian sounds very Japanese. In fact, she is an upright China person. Here, I will give you a brief introduction.

Gong Baotian (1870- 1943), a famous boxer in the late Qing Dynasty, was born in Qingshan Village, Mashidian Town, Rushan City, Weihai.

1897 (in the 23rd year of Guangxu), Gong Baotian 17 was called into the Qing Palace and became the head of the palace guards, and was awarded the title of Four Guards with Knives. He served as the personal bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, and was also the last general manager of the Imperial Guard in the Qing court.

People who are not interested in martial arts may not know much about Gong Baotian, but as long as they have seen The Master, directed by Wong Kar-wai, they must know how powerful he is. In the movie, there is a master of Eight Diagrams Boxing, Gong Yutian, who has strong and profound martial arts. He also became the chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association. In fact, this role was created by combining the life stories of Gong Baotian and his brother Li Cunyi.

Let's walk into the real Gong Baotian in history and see how powerful his martial arts are.

Who wants to be a real martial arts master, excellent martial arts skills are the first factor. In addition, appropriate opportunities are also essential. Only by getting the guidance of foreign masters and assisting their own hard training can they achieve something in Wushu.

However, if you want to become a master, your own martial arts is also extremely important, and of course, with some illusory legends, it can be perfect. Gong Baotian just has these conditions.

Gong Baotian studied in a private school since childhood. Later, due to his poor family, he was introduced to Yuan Henry's home in Beijing as an apprentice at the age of 65,438+03. Mihang did a lot of business, supplying rice to the Qing palace. Gong Baotian needed to send rice to and from the palace frequently, so he met Yin Fu, who was the security guard of the palace at that time. Yin Fu is a proud disciple of the famous martial artist Dong Haichuan. Yin Fu looked at the young man for many days and thought that Gong Baotian was a rare good material for practicing gossip, so he led Baotian to visit his master Dong Haichuan.

Gong Baotian met his master Dong Haichuan for the first time. Dong Haichuan came forward to hold his hand and studied it. He repeatedly said: "Rare, rare!" Repeatedly urged Yin Fu to cultivate carefully. Gong Baotian resigned from Mihang's errand, joined Yinfu's school and entered a martial arts career. This is also an opportunity that people who practice martial arts must have. Even if you are a swift horse, you can only spend your life with ordinary horses.

The master leads the door, practicing in the individual, and the opportunity is for diligent people to grasp. Gong Baotian works hard and diligently. It is said that Yin Fu gives Baotian a wooden bowl every day. When the wooden bowl is full of sweat, today's practice can stop.

There are many uncles in Baotian, and everyone is moved by the cleverness and viciousness of the young man. On weekdays, they are willing to teach him their unique skills. Because they study hard and practice hard, their kung fu has improved. Five years later, Gong Baotian was called to him by Dong Haichuan, personally taught the secret sect of Bagua Palm and the spectrum of Bagua Boxing, and became the second generation descendant of the authentic Bagua Palm.

Gong Baotian's lightness skill is the most exquisite, and Jianghu people call him the "Palace Monkey". Dong Haichuan was originally the leader of Wulin in Xianfeng period, one of the top ten masters in the late Qing Dynasty, and the founder of Bagua Boxing.

Some people may pout and say that all the swordsmen in those days were swindlers. If they use Sanda PK now, they will definitely be hammered to death. To tell the truth, the swordsmen in those days were really different from those who eat and drink at acupoints now. Dong Haichuan's Bagua Boxing is a combination of the Bagua Palm of Men and Shaolin Boxing of Buddhism. According to the figures in Zhouyi, a kind of "gossip wandering chain palm" was created. Up to now, Wulin insiders have called Bagua Boxing, Tai Ji Chuan and Xingyiquan as the three major boxing schools, all of which are martial arts experts with real skills. After time's tempering, the Eight Diagrams Boxing spread to China and even abroad, and has been preserved to this day.

Gong Baotian was called into the palace as the personal bodyguard of Cixi and Guangxu. During the Gengzi period, Eight-Nation Alliance brought disaster to China, and Gong Baotian was given a yellow jacket for his effective escort.

Gong Baotian doesn't seem to care about fame and fortune. He is very disappointed with the present world and simply resigned and returned to his hometown in Shandong. I have lived in my hometown for 17 years, living in seclusion. Later, at the request of the villagers, I taught the introductory kung fu of Bagua Palm in my hometown and Guo Cheng, Haiyang, and the villagers who came to learn from me came in an endless stream.

After the abdication of the Qing emperor, during the Beiyang government, Gong Baotian went out of the mountain again at the invitation of Zhang and now served as a martial arts coach. At this time, a very interesting thing happened, and later it became more and more mysterious, saying that the bullet turned around when it saw Gong Baotian.

When Zhang Guard first met the famous Gong Baotian, he felt that the old man on the other side was short in stature and it was not easy for him to become famous. He was very suspicious of Gong Baotian's real strength and took Gong Baotian to practice.

Gong Baotian asked Zhang to shoot him with a pistol in 20 paces. Zhang Nan has been fighting in the North for many years and has great confidence in his marksmanship. However, he fired two shots in a row but missed Gong Baotian. When he finished the third shot and looked again, Gong Baotian had disappeared. At this time, he only heard Gong Baotian say behind him, "I killed the guard, but I'm afraid he didn't have time to turn around."

From then on, Zhang appreciated him very much and appointed him as the visiting ambassador and head coach in the three northeastern provinces. Gong Baotian also felt sorry for the trust of the guards and repeatedly protected Zhang from the danger made by the Japanese army.

/kloc-in the spring of 0/928, Gong Baotian was ordered to stay in Beiping and guard Zhang Xueliang. Unfortunately, in the Huanggutun incident, Zhang was killed by the Japanese. Gong Baotian, who was not accompanied, was very sad after hearing the news. Later, after Zhang Xueliang entered the customs, he resigned again and returned to his hometown.

Gong Baotian was not idle in his later years. Years of court and military career have made him deeply understand the definition of national crisis. Under the influence of martial arts and Qiang Bing's thought of saving the country, he dreamed of training a group of young people with high martial arts skills to defend the country, so he founded a "boxing gym" in his hometown and organized more than a dozen "Bagua Boxing Clubs" in Jiaodong counties to recruit disciples voluntarily and spread martial arts. A large number of hardworking farmers have the opportunity to learn martial arts from him for free and live a poor life.

194 1 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Commander Xu made a special trip to Qingshan Village to visit Gong Baotian. Xu, a famous military commander, was born in Shaolin and was proficient in Shaolin boxing. During the dinner, Xu asked about his martial arts and the swimming secrets of Bagua Boxing. He replied: "The Eight Diagrams Tour Serial Boxing is mainly shaped like a dragon, agile and changeable, flexible and mobile, moving like lightning, and there is nothing special about it."

Gong Baotian performed Bagua Boxing and Bagua Knife for General Xu. After reading it, Xu Youshi greatly appreciated it. He was impressed by Gong Baotian's brilliant boxing and profound martial arts, especially after the old man's patriotism. Xu simply hired Gong Baotian to run a short-term martial arts training class in Jiaodong Military Region to teach martial arts. Gong Baotian agreed immediately, but unfortunately he hasn't run several training courses yet. 1943 Gong Baotian suffered greatly during the Japanese mopping up.

Throughout Gong Baotian's life, he is not only praised by the world for his profound kung fu, but also admired by all for his martial arts and patriotism. Although the old man has been dead for many years, his descendants have passed on his kung fu. His most proud disciple, Wang Zhuangfei, once studied with the old man for ten years. After the founding of New China, he became the third generation gossip master. Another disciple, Liu Yunqiao (Kong Xiao, now living in Taibei), also entered the field of martial arts and became an authentic master of Taiwan Province Baguazhang. Other disciples and grandchildren brought his kung fu to all parts of the world.
