Fang Shiyu:

Zhaoqing, Guangdong. Father's name is, engaged in silk business, married Li, and gave birth to two sons, the first one is Xiaoyu, and the second one is Meiyu (both of them studied under the Zen master); Later, Fang had to continue to marry Miao Cuihua, Miao Xian's daughter, at the age of 60. Miaoxian has remained anonymous since he burned Shaolin in Songshan Mountain, selling salt for a living. Miao Cuihua gave birth to Fang Shiyu. Fang Shiyu and his two brothers are at least 20 years apart in age. Miao Cuihua learned a good craft from her father. "According to his father's teaching, since the beginning of the month, I have been complacent about my child's jade. Wash the whole body with iron vinegar first, and then change it layer by layer with bamboo boards, sticks and iron bars, which is the whole.

Tendons and joints are as strong as iron. At the age of three, I practiced hard, wore an iron hat and iron boots to learn to jump ... At the age of six, I made a stance, and at the age of seven, I opened my fist and buried Zhu Zhuang ... At the age of fourteen, I learned all kinds of martial arts, with infinite strength. I am all muscles and bones, I am as solid as iron, my temperament is fierce, and I am uneven. "("evergreen ") killed Lei Laohu that year, Fang Shiyu was only about fourteen years old. As mentioned earlier, Fang Shiyu killed Lei Laohu, which led to a fierce battle between Shaolin and Wudang. Fang Shiyu became famous early and died early. According to legend, he died in Shaolin Temple in Jiulian Mountain or later, and it is believed that he was in his twenties when he died.

Years old. In addition to being proficient in fists and feet, he is also good at using flower knives.

As we all know, the story of Giarante and Hu fighting in the computer room was first recorded in the novel Evergreen Tree. These two incidents directly led to the deterioration of the relationship between Wudang and Shaolin. Fang Shiyu, a native of Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, is the grandson of Miao Xian, the "five elders of Shaolin", and went to Hangzhou for business with his father. He was very angry when he saw Lei Laohu posing in a circle with the words "punch Guangdong and kick Suzhou and Hangzhou" written on both sides. He went on stage to fight and killed Lei Laohu. Lei Laohu, son-in-law of Li Bashan, Wu Tangmen, used himself as the bodyguard of Chen Wenyao, a college student in Wenyuange (Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain was burned in Yongzheng period, and nearly 80 years old in Qianlong period), running rampant. Being killed by Fang Shiyu this time naturally makes people happy, but it has caused a lot of fights-Lei Laohu's wife Li Xiaohuan invited her father Li Bashan to come out of the mountain, and Fang Shiyu invited Sande monks and children, and things became more and more serious. At the same time, it was Xinhui Hu who stole out of Shaolin Temple and went back to the provincial capital to avenge his father and fight against the workers in the computer room of Xiguan Nylon Hall. Nylon Hall is the guild hall of provincial textile workers. Most of the workers in the industry are single men, ranking tenth and competing for victory. Hu's father opened a small shop nearby and was killed by a computer room worker. Saved Hu, who was seriously injured, and sent him to Shaolin Temple to learn from his teacher. Hu avenged himself this time and killed more than a dozen textile workers, including the Boxer Rebellion, a Taoist disciple of Wudang Fengpai. As a result, the fighting between the two factions is getting out of control. Later, Lei Laohu's sister Li Erhuan, the second daughter of Li Bashan, died at the hands of the Shaolin Sect because of her sister, brother-in-law and father. She was eager for revenge, so she dedicated herself to the emperor Qianlong, who was traveling incognito. Qianlong took advantage of Wudang Feng's morality and the power of Bai Mei's Taoist priest to destroy the Shaolin Temple in Fujian. , Hu,,, etc. All survived, just because "Evergreen Tree" was written in the late Qing Dynasty, describing an anti-government "thug" Shaolin Quan Yong, which is likely to anger officials. The writers had to try their best to please the government. The destruction of Shaolin Temple in Fujian led to the influx of Shaolin Wushu into Guangdong, with colorful boxing methods and countless famous players.

As for when the "southern boxing and northern leg" appeared in Wushu, some experts' research should begin in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. The northern leg is the pool leg (or bouncing leg), and the southern fist is the Hongquan. People who practice martial arts often regard Hong Xiguan as the founder of Hongquan, believing that Hongquan spread to Lu 'achai, Huangtai, Huang Qiying and Huang Feihong after Hong Xiguan, and really developed and became one of the most important martial arts schools in China. However, it is difficult to know Hong Xiguan's life story. As for him, and Hu, they are all lay disciples of South Shaolin in Fujian, and the so-called original story materials are not credible, only to hear them say that the Qing army burned down South Shaolin. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that these people made a systematic and meticulous legendary interpretation of Gan Long Down the South written by an anonymous person, so that the story of Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu, which was originally circulated orally among the people, had a real literary blueprint for re-creation through drama and film, which spread more widely-reflect on how similar this process is to the story of thirty-six people, such as Song Jiang, who occupied Liangshan in the Song Dynasty, was circulated and processed by the people, and was written into a wonderful book by Shi Naian in the early Ming Dynasty

Many friends don't like the unconventional and unrecognizable adaptation of some literary works by Hong Kong and Taiwan films, but I don't know why some literary classics in China are not. "Jin Ping Mei" was born out of "The Water Margin", and the real story of the protagonist turned into a picture of various social situations, which can be described as a soft finger. Lu Xun's New Stories subverts and deconstructs several classic figures and allusions in pre-Qin literature, and its techniques are exactly the same as the "post-modernism" that we now admire; Guo Moruo's so-called new historical dramas (such as Qu Yuan and Cai Wenji) use ancient metaphors to describe the present and combine modern ideas to shape ancient characters. Even if this situation is a reasonable adaptation of romance, as some experts have said, in essence, I am afraid it is no different from the practice of Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

In addition, there is a unique way for Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas to tamper with classic works and classic characters, that is, to skillfully graft the self-contained character stories in different works (even creatively transplant the main characters and plot bridges in classic works) and piece them together in one work, thus producing unimaginable and wonderful effects. For example, Hong Xiguan of ATV and Fang Shiyu, a young hero in Taiwan Province, both focus on the love story between Yan Yongchun and Hong Xiguan, the founder of Wing Chun Boxing. But the reality is that Yan Yongchun's husband is Liang in history, and she and she are strangers at all. The stories circulated by the people are even more irrelevant. How can there be a theory of love? This is really a mistake. There are also two episodes of "Fang Shiyu" starring Jet Li, which transplant the anti-Qing organization Red Flower Society led by Chen Jialuo in Jin Yong's masterpiece "The Book of Sword and Hate" into the film. It turned out that Jin Yong's fictional Red Flower Club was inexplicably associated with the folklore Fang Shiyu, and Fang Shiyu not only became Chen Jialuo's adopted son, but also helped the Red Flower Club get rid of the infighting! The story is lively and interesting-and Jin Yong himself is especially good at creating martial arts novels. In the Book of Sword, two generations of Uighur "folk saints" became friends with the Red Flower Society. The legend of the condor heroes has something to do with the water margin. Guo Jing is actually a descendant of the Liangshan hero Guo Sheng. As for Jin Yong and film and television drama directors, whether they have super imagination or are smart enough to be lazy is a matter of opinion.

Perhaps in the martial arts world, Fang Shiyu is not as famous as Hong Xiguan (although there is a "Shaolin Fangmen" who admits that he is the founder of the mountain, that is just a rumor of younger generations, which is not true. Some people even research that there is no Fang Shiyu in history! ), but in the film and television industry, his fame is far better than that of his brother. Because Fang Shiyu's reckless, intelligent and strong young hero image seems to be more popular with the audience than Hong Xiguan's mature and steady personality endowed by traditional romance, a follow-up work with the theme of "beating Fang Shiyu" came out as early as the same year when the first martial arts film "Burning Red Lotus Temple" (1928) was filmed in China. In the 1950s and 1960s, dozens of episodes of Huang Feihong series were made, followed by movies about Fang Shiyu, with more than a dozen. In 1990s, after successfully interpreting the classic screen image of Huang Feihong, a martial arts master, Jet Li, a famous kung fu movie star, began to shoot Fang Shiyu as his company's pioneering work. Although Miao Cuihua, the happy mother of Fang Shiyu, played by actor Xiao Fangfang, stole a lot of limelight from Jet Li, the Jet Li version of Fang Shiyu is still wonderful, and it has quite successfully created a clever and naughty character with clear love and hate. The most impressive thing about this film is the action scene: Jet Li and Hu Huizhong compete high above the heads of the audience to show their natural and unrestrained posture, while Chiu Man-Cheuk and Jet Li fight nimbly in the low mezzanine of the guillotine; In addition, Li and Zhao attacked each other with long sticks and short sticks in the printing and dyeing workshop-this ingenious contrast of height and length is really dazzling and amazing! Therefore, it is well-deserved that Yuan Kui and Yuan De won the Best Wushu Instructor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
