There is no need to say much about the language of the movie, each has its own love for radish and cabbage. Talk about the decline of Chinese Kung Fu and the rise of Chinese culture.
Kungfu is different from Wushu in Chinese. In a broad sense, Kungfu is a kind of ability obtained by putting energy into practice and exploration, while Wushu is a routine skill formed from Wushu. Under the influence of traditional culture, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, this The system will inevitably include metaphysical theories, whether innate or acquired.
Judging from the inheritance of Tai Chi reflected in this film, it pays more attention to the teaching of techniques, because even though Chen Linhu's teacher repeatedly emphasizes meditation, he still can't tell why, just say that you want to be yourself To realize it, the teacher must have realized the state of letting go, but he can't explain it. This can only be said that Chinese Kungfu has moved from the unity of knowledge and action to self-realization in action, but how many people can be vague What about self-realization in an unclear theory? What's more, the theoretical system of science and technology in modern society is so powerful, and even the system of universal education teaches people to learn theory first and then practice. So of course.
It can be inferred from this phenomenon that Chinese martial arts (from the description of Taiji inheritance in the film) will gradually decline and eventually become Huaquan and embroidered legs. At least without the support of the development of the theoretical system, it is difficult to enhance and expand its influence and realm. .
On the other hand, we can see a little difference from the Hollywood action films we often see, the protagonist, a traditionally positive character, will reveal his evil side and learn from Keanu's mouth. ——"He has this nature"; and the villain, a very evil character, in a scene before his death, we don't seem to hate him, because he has such an understanding of kung fu, not only a powerful person. Manipulator role. He seemed to be looking for something, maybe he had found it before he died, and lay down with a trace of relief and comfort.
This is a very experimental attempt to interpret Tai Chi and Chinese culture. Black and white are not distinct and irreconcilable. Black and white are the existing contradictions between black and white, right and wrong, good and evil. When everything is empty, the opposition will disappear, the evil energy in the body is released like this, and the demon in the heart has also become invisible.
In fact, Chinese culture has not been ambiguous since ancient times, but was lost or misunderstood due to historical reasons. Even so, the philosophical characteristics of coexistence of opposites and harmony and unity can still be found in the culture of Tai Chi. In the eyes of Westerners, it seems that Judgment Day is not The only ending, this culture brings about not having to face the dilemma of "to live or to destroy".
At the end of the film, the place we are going can be surrounded by nature, and we can shout freely. In the sky above the hustle and bustle of the city, we can use such a calm and quiet heart to do what we should do.
