Song Cheng Hao has a cloud in his poem "Spring Day Occasional" that has been circulated in later generations: the clouds are light and the wind is light near noon, and the flowers and willows pass by Qianchuan. So I couldn't help it. Whenever I saw the courteous Master Ye Wen in a long gown on the screen, I couldn't help but think of this rather leisurely verse in my mind.
In fact, as far as I am concerned, due to my own experiences and the constraints of the region I live in. I don't know much about Wing Chun, a type of boxing. On the contrary, I have some understanding of Bajiquan, which is popular in the northern regions. Of course, it is only limited to the theoretical level that the enthusiasts are shackled by. Due to the character of the northerners, for the This kind of bursting and fierce, with a straight forward momentum, is quite appreciated. Since the Qing Dynasty, most of the internal guards and national guards have also been descendants of Bajiquan. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty even said that "Wen have Taiji to make the world safe, and martial arts have Baji to set the world." The successor of Bajiquan, Li Shuwen, was known as a god after word of mouth in later generations. It was only because of the fierce and sturdy characteristics of the boxing method of "Bajiquan that he couldn't take care of himself", which led to many relationships. , according to legend, did not end well.
But if we talk about Wing Chun, we have been familiar with it since we were children.
I believe that people around my age group once had a time in the 1980s, 1990s, and 1990s, and they all had the experience of being in various video halls. At that time, the video halls and even the disc shops that were derived from them would be similar, and they would play some popular movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan. At that time, it was undoubtedly the golden age of Hong Kong kung fu films. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao and others moved up and down with vigorous and healthy movies, and spent their childhood with countless people. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others, although they were born in the drama class, before they became famous, they all had the experience of being a dragon and tiger martial artist, which is both martial arts. The development of Wing Chun was handed down at a certain stage by the disciples of the Red Boat, who secretly practiced on the Red Boat. The movie "Prodigal Son" starring Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying was more real. The history of that period has been restored, so Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others often put on a wooden dummy of Wing Chun in the movies starring them. In "Food Truck", I will see the figure in the previous paragraph with a straight look at the wooden pile, so in retrospect, in fact, the figure of Wing Chun has been subtly and deeply penetrated into the hearts of each of us. .
In "Han Feizi: Five Beetles", there is a cloud: "Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the prohibition." And the poet Li Bai is even more angered by the warrior who "kills a person in ten steps, and does not leave a thousand miles away", and kills a thousand miles with hearty heroism. Therefore, in my early impression, people who practice martial arts are probably similar to Kunlun slaves and others in the swordsman novels of the Tang Dynasty, or people such as Li Shuwen, the master of Bajiquan, who are like fire. He has an extreme personality that doesn't hold back at all. And if you can worry about the world like Guo Jing and Guo Daxia in later Jin Yong's novels, "the great hero serves the country and the people" in the mind of the world, it only exists in literary works.
But the gentle, gentle and tepid master Ye Wen, who was as gentle as jade, completely overturned my impression of people who practice martial arts.
There is an old saying in China called "Poor culture is rich in martial arts", and I remember a comic book I read when I was a child, telling the story of a generation of Taiji masters, "Yang Wudi" Yang Luchan, who was invincible in the capital and learned martial arts in his childhood. It roughly tells the story of Yang Luchan's wealthy family when he was young, and he loved martial arts since childhood. His father visited famous teachers and taught his martial arts. In "Water Margin", one of the four famous novels that I often read when I was young, Shi Jin's background of the nine-patterned dragon also belongs to the local landlord class, and his father did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find him All kinds of famous teachers even paid a high price to find skilled craftsmen and tattooed nine lifelike long dragons on their bodies. In the future, Wang Jin, the coach of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, will be under the wrong circumstances, because his mother was ill and cast a spell on him. Going to Zhuangzi where Shi Jin is located, there is a nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, one of the all-powerful Tiangang stars in the future. So in retrospect, the ancients said that the poor and the rich are still quite insightful.
Ye Wen was born into such a wealthy family.
Ye Wen, whose real name is Ye Jiwen, is a native of Foshan, Guangdong. He ranks second in the family. His ancestors lived on Fuxian Road, Foshan. Apart from the big house, there are countless other industries, so we can imagine how rich the ancestral industry is, so we can see the role played by Donnie Yen in "Ip Man 1" released in 2008. Ye Wen, who is just leisurely wandering all day, or drinking tea, or practicing martial arts, or sitting on the Taishi chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and watching foreign clocks, and one of the more interesting details is that the new martial artist wants to meet with Ye Wen discussed with each other, but Ye Wen asked him whether he had eaten lunch, and left him to dine in the house. At the dining table, the martial artist suddenly saw such a sumptuous meal of the Ye family, and immediately started to gobble it up. , ignoring the repeated frowns of Zhang Yongcheng, played by Xiong Dailin. And after lunch, Ye Wen was even more unhurried, showing everyone's demeanor while adorning the tea, he didn't forget to ask "Is lunch okay". Therefore, Ye Wen's background is undoubtedly equivalent to a noble young master with a golden key. Because he was frail and sickly when he was young, his father asked him to worship under the name of Chen Huashun, a famous Wing Chun teacher. At that time, Chen Huashun was able to open the hall to teach apprentices by renting the ancestral hall of Ye Wen's family. According to the dictation of his disciple Liang Ting in later generations, the tuition fee for Ye Wen to worship Chen Huashun as a teacher to study Wing Chun was twelve taels of gold. What is the concept of twelve taels of gold? between RMB and RMB. Especially in "Ip Man 1", after the Japanese army invaded China and occupied Foshan, Ip Man's mansion was used as a headquarters. Ip Man's wealth at that time is evident.
And Ye Wen, who was born into a big family with a golden key since childhood, naturally has a kind of uniqueness that stands out from the crowd.
I have always believed that the "Ip Man" series directed by Ye Weixin has been extremely successful in shaping Ye Wen's personal character and has a strong humanistic flavor. Different from the traditional kung fu films, which focus on fists and feet, but often neglect to shape the characters, the difference is superficial. "Ip Man" has always been an unhurried, gentle and elegant master image. Sometimes it seems to give the impression that the martial arts master on the screen who can stun four with a wave of his hand is not a warrior. Rather, it is like a self-cultivation and self-cultivation Guozijian in ancient times. He speaks in a gentle manner, and always looks like a spring breeze. Even when the country is ruined, the family is in danger, and the life is embarrassed, he still dresses neatly all over. Even with patches, it's still clean. So I think the reason why "Ip Man" was a blockbuster in 2008, the balance of literary and martial arts in the film, the shaping of the character of Ip Man and the excavation at the depth level, are indispensable. This allows the audience to see from another angle an "anti" hero who is completely different from the traditional heroes who are muscular, aggressive, and lacking in character creation.
Those who are familiar with the four famous novels will surely remember that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei, a butcher, immediately went home and killed his wife and children in order to be wise. If you don't watch Water Margin, you don't watch the Three Kingdoms. In another of the four famous works, "Water Margin", everyone who has a little impression will clearly remember that in this work where male hormones are about to come out, the female characters have a bad fate or have their heads cut off. Or being disemboweled, Qinghu Sanniang may eventually be assigned to Wang Ying and Wang Aihu, who are short and extremely lecherous kings of the mountains. It can be seen that in many ancient literary works, women were treated with a biased attitude. In the ancients, there was a saying, "Gentle Township, Hero Tomb", "Children are long in love, and heroes are short-tempered" to warn heroes that they must work hard all day and ignore women. But Ye Wen did exactly the opposite.
The Ip Man presented to the audience in the film "Ip Man" is the image of a martial arts master who is completely opposite to the traditional hero. Throughout the martial arts movies, the tenderness of the chivalrous bones and the emotional lines of the heroes and children are mostly vigorous, unrestrained and unrestrained, riding horses to see the prosperity of the world. But the Ye Wen shown in "Ip Man", in addition to the peculiar self-cultivation of a big family, his respect and love for his wife Zhang Yongcheng is even more evident, especially when the aggressive Jinshan finds a door to laugh at Ye Wen When he was afraid of his wife, his sentence "There are no men who are afraid of wives, only men who love their wives" immediately made the image of Ye Wen's character in the hearts of the audience suddenly full of flesh and blood. And when his life was in distress in the future, his meticulous care and care for his wife made people feel a little different about this generation of masters. In this "Ip Man 3", Zhang Yongcheng, played by Xiong Dailin, gave Ye Wen a slap in the face, but Ye Wen remained silent. After taking the slap, he shook his wife's hand and gave She gave an understanding hug. As for the small fight in the elevator room, compared to the American blockbuster "Captain America 2", it is more thrilling and exciting, and at the same time, there is a little more tenderness out of thin air, just like returning to The elevator picked up the medicine bag that had fallen on the ground, and took his wife out slowly with the calmness and indifference.
As I said before, in "Ip Man", the audience will always experience a calmness and calmness that is rarely seen in similar kung fu action films, just like a peony in a beautiful blooming rose bush. The flowers are like flowers, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and they are not shocked. What Chinese martial arts pursues is not just being brave and ruthless, but also pursuing a kind of self-cultivation and belief in the world. The kind of spirit and belief that is rare in the world, just like Ye Wen, who appears in every "Ip Man", is practising attentively on the wooden stump alone, in the direction where the sun is swaying freely on his side, It was the gaze of another man he loved and loved her. Just ask, in the present moment, who can achieve this kind of indifference and calmness without ruling the country and the world, and the heart is at home but not outside.
The couplet of Hong Yingming of Ming Dynasty recorded in Chen Mei's public album "A Little Notes on a Quiet Window" has the following words: do not be surprised by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; It's easier said than done, but it's very difficult to do. What's more, people in my generation are all ordinary people. The variety of the world and the colorful world make everyone's heart pounding. Fame and fortune are what you and I want. In this "Ip Man 3", Ye Wen seems to be a master of a generation, but in him, what we see is still the original indifference of sway and indifference to fame and fortune. Feng Qing, a master of a generation, deserves it.
