The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Chapter 299 298 [Sword Palm Wushuang Zhou Hexuan]

April 1.

This is the day when the Tianjin County Martial Arts Museum was established. Its address is next to the stadium of the South Public Security Bureau of Dongmen, Dongma Road, Tianjin, and the Hebei Provincial Martial Arts Museum is not far next door.

After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Tianjin was designated as a special city by the Nanjing government, which is somewhat similar to a municipality directly under the Central Government in later generations.

But what about Tianjin County?

Tianjin County belongs to Hebei Province, and the county government is located in Huidui, which is also the Tucheng area of ​​Hexi District, Tianjin in later generations.

When Zhou Hexuan came to the entrance of the Guoshu Museum, there were already many onlookers standing here.

Xue Dian introduced: "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Zeng Tingyi, director of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau, and also the honorary director of our Guoshu Museum!"

Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said, "Hello Director Zeng!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Zeng Tingyi said enthusiastically.

Zeng Tingyi belonged to Fu Zuoyi, so naturally he was also from Yan Xishan. Although he didn't know that Zhou Hexuan was Yan Xishan's guest, but Zhou Hexuan had a high reputation in Tianjin, so naturally he needed to make friends.

Xue Dian introduced again: "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Li Shaowei, the county magistrate of Tianjin, and the curator of our Chinese martial arts museum."

"Hello County Magistrate Li."

"Mr. Zhou, I have admired your name for a long time!"

Inviting the county magistrate Li to be the curator is the same as inviting Zhou Hexuan to be the honorary deputy curator. Li Shaowei didn't pay much attention to this, and after only a few days as curator, he resigned and was replaced by Gao Zhiren, a master of Xingyiquan.

But these people don't care about their affairs, and Xue Dian, the deputy director and dean of teaching, is really in charge of the daily affairs of the Guoshu Museum.

Tianjin not only has a lot of gangsters, but also a lot of people practicing martial arts.

Since the disintegration of the Tianjin Chinese Warrior Association, various martial arts groups have sprung up in Tianjin. There are at least dozens of Chinese martial arts research associations, Tongbi boxing clubs, Fengyun martial arts clubs, Xiuwu martial arts clubs, Chinese martial arts research clubs, moral martial arts clubs, youth martial arts clubs, etc., and so on.

Coupled with the messy martial arts gym, if there is a boxer who can win the title of "Tianjin No. 1", it can be ranked among the top in all of China.

The Nanjing National Government attached great importance to the development of martial arts, so that political factional struggles continued in the martial arts hall. For example, the Tianjin Martial Arts Museum is at a standoff with the Hebei Provincial Martial Arts Museum. The former is supported by the Nanjing government, while the latter is supported by Yan Xishan.

The Tianjin Martial Arts Academy even used indiscriminate means to bluff and deceive under the name of the Hebei Provincial Martial Arts Academy, the purpose of which was naturally to discredit their opponents.

The Tianjin County Martial Arts Museum, which is now established, also has the support of Yan Xishan, and it seems that it wants to beat Tianjin Martial Arts Museum to death.

Let’s talk about Nanjing. At the end of last year, the government even organized a national martial arts exam. Now even coaches in martial arts halls need a license. And those who have not passed the national examination and issued a license are not allowed to form a martial arts hall, but can only form a martial arts club or a research association.

At the end of last year, there was also a national martial arts competition, which was very much in the nature of combating fake martial arts.

No matter how famous you are, no matter how old you are, you will all come on stage and play for me. If you perform too poorly, your coaching license will be revoked.

That competition was completely outraged, famous teachers from all walks of life, eminent monks and different ways appeared on the stage one after another, injuries and broken bones happened from time to time, and some people simply carried the coffin to participate in the competition.

However, the result is surprising...

Many well-known masters revealed their true colors, such as Shaolin master Zhao Xinzhou, eagle claw master Chen Zizheng, gossip master Jia Fengming, gossip master Gao Fengling, Xingyi gossip master Zuo Zhenying, Chaquan master Yu Zhensheng, Tai Chi master Wu Tunan, etc. Only passed the preliminaries, that is to say, only qualified for the competition.

Wan Laisheng, a well-known martial arts master all over the country, only received a moderate evaluation in the competition.

It's almost laughable, those so-called masters probably limped themselves, under the praise of their disciples, they really thought they were invincible.

So Xingyiquan is awesome. The three brothers Zhu Guolu, Zhu Guofu, and Zhu Guozhen who practiced Xingyiquan all ranked among the best in this competition, and they are known as the "Three Tigers of the Zhu Family". They became famous in the first battle, from the stinky tricks of running around the rivers and lakes to perform arts, they turned into admired military instructors.

Can't fight traditional martial arts?

These people were just punched out, without the slightest moisture.

As for the awesome Wing Chun boxing of the later generations, hehe, there were quite a few contestants, but the result... don't mention it.

Not only Wing Chun, but all Nanquan sects lost in the national martial arts competition.

It was also explained that the Nanquan bunt belongs to the assassin boxing and is not suitable for use in the ring. In any case, in the National Martial Arts Competition, Southern Fist will only be beaten when it encounters the Northern Fist that is open and close. He lost miserably - the same is true for Taijiquan, what can be used to overcome rigidity with softness, and what can be used to force a thousand catties, can't be used in the ring.

Don't mention gossip, let's get back to business.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, the Tianjin County Martial Arts Museum was officially opened.

"County Li, please!"

"Director Zeng, please!"

The two refused each other, and finally took the red cloth on the signboard together.

Then it was time to take a group photo. Zhou Hexuan, County Mayor Li, Director Zeng, Xue Dian and others sat together upright, snapping several shots in succession.

After the group photos were developed, small characters were written on the top of the photos, "In April of the 18th year of the Republic of China, Tianjin County Guoshu Museum was established for a group photo", and small characters were also marked next to each person, such as: Deputy Director Zhou Hexuan.

Decades later, someone dug out this photo, and it immediately exploded on the Internet.

A good-natured person posted a post on the Tianya forum, titled "Zhou Hexuan, a martial arts master hidden in the torrent of history":

"About Zhou Hexuan, everyone must be familiar with it. I don’t know how many students in junior high and high schools are fascinated by his articles. He is a poet, a writer, a historian, a thinker, and a sociologist... However, what I want to say today is that Zhou Hexuan is still a martial artist.

As we all know, Zhou Hexuan's "Shooting the Condor" trilogy created a precedent for modern Chinese martial arts novels. But why was he the first to modernize martial arts novels? Because, he himself is a martial arts master.

The famous writer Shen Congwen and the famous poet Zhu Xiang both revealed in their articles that Li Shoumin had practiced Qigong and Zheng Zhengyin was good at weapon boxing. And Li Shoumin and Zheng Zhengyin are Zhou Hexuan's close friends. It shows that Zhou Hexuan is very close to people who practice martial arts.

Now let’s talk about this photo, sitting next to Zhou Hexuan is Xue Dian, a super expert. After the founding of New China, this person was funded by Zhou Hexuan and opened a museum in Hong Kong to receive apprentices. Now his disciples and grandchildren are all over the world, and he can be called a generation of masters.

According to legend, when the Tianjin Guoshu Museum was established, Xue Dian personally visited and invited Zhou Hexuan to come out of the mountain to serve as the deputy director of the Guoshu Museum. Mr. Zhou was unwilling at first, but the two fought against each other in the newspaper office, and suddenly felt sympathetic to each other, and they were called brothers from then on.

Who can subdue Xue Dian, how bad is his skill?

Besides the death of the great warlord Chu Yupu, female writer Ding Ling revealed that Zhou Hexuan did it. Chu Yupu was carrying a huge sum of millions, so he must be escorted by the army. Mr. Zhou personally participated in the interception and killing of Chu Yupu, how could he handle it without any effort?

So I dare to conclude that Mr. Zhou must be a master of martial arts, and he is a master-level figure. It's just that his huge influence in the literary, ideological and historical circles has covered up the fact that he knows martial arts..."

Well, although this gossip article was ridiculed by many people, many people actually believed it and grandiosely compiled it into Zhou Hexuan's encyclopedia entry.

Even some scholars who study Zhou Hexuan tend to think that Zhou Hexuan is a master of martial arts, and write it into research papers.

A lie repeated a hundred times is the truth. Many people have stopped questioning the truth, but began to analyze and study Zhou Hexuan's martial arts characteristics.

Since Zhou Hexuan had exchanges with Li Jinglin, Zhou Hexuan probably knew swordsmanship. Also, in Zhou Hexuan's novels, awesome characters mostly use swordsmanship and palm techniques, so Zhou Hexuan's palm techniques are probably not bad.

In the end, everyone gave Zhou Hexuan a nickname - Sword Palm Warriors.

On the Internet of later generations, Zhou Hexuan, who is unparalleled in the sword and palm, is at the same level as "The Falling Cherry Ax Washington" and "The Iron Fist Invincible Sun Yat-sen".
