Who are the archetypes of the characters in the movie The Grandmaster?

The prototype of "A Generation of Masters" is Ding Yushan, a reclusive master in Wulin. He is the famous Kanto Ghost Sect and Master Cai, the master of martial arts.

1905 Ding Lianshan left the northeast. That year, a great event happened in the history of China, that is, five ministers in the "Northern Assassination Group" were assassinated by wuyue. Wuyue, Zhang Rong and other northern heroes attempted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty by assassination. Liang Qichao said that it was the age of assassination. The means to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty were, on the one hand, promoted by republicanism and revolution, and on the other hand, the most intense assassination. One bright and one dark.

The archetypes of other characters in The Grandmaster

In The Grand Master, the prototype of IP Man is Bruce Lee's mentor.

Ip Man, a close disciple of Chen Huashun, the "King of Wing Chun Boxing" Liang Zan, promoted Wing Chun Boxing to all parts of the world by himself, so he was elected as a "generation master" by his master. However, he is most famous overseas for accepting a famous disciple Bruce Lee in his later years.

The prototype I saw at first sight was Li and Li's disciples. Liu Yunqiao once served as an instructor and guard of Chiang Kai-shek's Guard. Li is the Taishan Beidou in Wulin and one of the three great masters of Wulin in the Republic of China. He is proficient in octupole boxing and marksmanship, and has the reputation of "just boxing doesn't need two dozen, and Li uses a magic gun".

Gong Er's prototype is Shi Jianqiao, a strange woman in the Republic of China. Regardless of her safety, she extended her foot to assassinate Sun, a northern warlord.

Ma San's prototype is a combination of Wang Xiangzhai, the founder of Xingyiquan, and Ma Liang, a representative of traitors in martial arts at that time.

Gong Yutian's prototype is a generation of master Gong Baotian, who first studied under Dong Haichuan's disciple Yin Fu. Later, Dong Haichuan thought his talent was rare, so he taught himself martial arts. Gong Baotian was famous for his bravery when he was young. At the age of 27, he was called into the palace by Guangxu. He served as the personal bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi and the last general bodyguard of the Qing court, Emperor Guangxu, and added four guards with knives.
