- The first martial arts that Sui Yunjiang learned were Baguazhang.
However, at the age of 32, his teacher and Li Ziming (李子鳴) introduced him
to the master of Mui Fa Zong, and he became a learner with difficulty.
- Interview with Sui Yunjiang
(The reason people practice martial arts is to protect their country and their home.
Only with great martial arts can I protect my family and my country.
The essential idea of Chinese martial arts is to protect the country,
the people, and the family.)
- Demonstration of Mui Fa Zong
Sui Yunjiang's thoughts are in line with
the martial arts spirit of Chinese martial arts.
- Data on the Opium War
Starting with the Opium War, China was invaded by
Western powers one after another.
China, immersed in Chinese ideology,
was nothing more than a paper tiger.
- Late Cheng Dynasty photo
Political circles insisted on overcoming the crisis
through the reform and self-reliance movement.
Meanwhile, in the private sector,
there was a movement to drive out the Western powers with martial arts.
The Yihetuan (義和團) incident occurred against this background.
- Pictures of farmers
After the China-Japan War, in Shandong Province,
there were frequent conflicts between German soldiers and peasants.
- A picture of the peasants with their weapons and Xi Taihou
Armed with Mui Fa Zong(梅花樁), Shandong peasants form the Yihetuan
under the banner of ‘Support the Qing, destroy the foreign’ (扶淸滅洋).
Their argument to drive out Westerners and defend the country
has been well received by the public and spread to northern China.
- Interview with Professor Lin Hai, China Sports Science Center
(At this time, Xi Taihou (西太后), the Cheng dynasty took advantage
of this sentiment of the people.
She tried to use her boxers to oppose foreigners.
So she ordered them to gather in BeiCheng)
- Yuanmingyuan
However, the Yihetuan (義和團) are suppressed by
the Allied Forces of the 8 Western Powers with strong military power.
The people's efforts to save the country through martial arts were in vain.
The Yihetuan incident is also being evaluated meaningfully in the history of martial arts.
- Interview with Lin Boyuan, Professor at Japan International Martial Arts College
(In the old days of martial arts, there were schools everywhere.
However, there was little communication between schools and schools.
There was one in each rural area, so there was little exchange.
Because many peasants gathered during the Yihetuan movement
exchanges of martial arts schools have been active,
This played a major role in the development of folk martial arts.)
