LMK VS Legend

Peng:

The Golden Winged Peng

Korean- King of Bungma (Bungma= Dapeng)

LMK:

Powerful but a coward, we all know their story along with Azure and Tusk. All of them were former Celestials. The three ruled over Camel Ridge and became sworn brothers to Monkey King, Macaque, and Demon Bull King forming the brotherhood. After the "betrayal" of Monkey King they separated the brotherhood the trio stayed together and reunited with Wukong but only to battle and lose. Trapped in the scroll for hundreds of years. Were realized causing havoc to the cosmos. The rest is history For Now.

JTTW:

A demon born from the Primordial Phoenix, Given a high position in heaven which gave him his ego. He gave himself a humanoid form ate all the residence of the Lion Camel Kingdom ruled it for 500 years and then befriended the Azure Lion and Yellow-Toothed Elephant Demons.

Note: LMK and JTTW had Peng and Azure Switched In JTTW Peng was the leader and Azure the follower. Which of course is switched in the show.

His weapons are a ji and a Flask of Yin and Yang Essence which can suck in unsuspecting victims.

Flask of Yin and Yang Essence: After a while, the victim trapped inside the flask will be reduced to a bloody mash. (The flask was broken during the fight between him and Wukong)

In the book, it was the Buddha who subdued the Peng and returned him to Vulture Peak. He confessed to enjoying his demonic life and eating humans., but was left no choice but to abandon his evil ways and he was redeemed. He then became a protector of Buddhist law. He was later sent to destroy fake scripture without text by the Buddha. He is depicted perched above the Buddha's thrown as a guardian deity.

The Ming dynasty suggests Peng was a guardian of faith who watched over the world from an exalted position at the top of the Buddhas' throne.

Legend:

Dapeng Jinchi Mingwang/ Golden-Winged Great Peng His origins are derived from the Indian bird god Garuda.

Penig is one of the eight demi gods of Buddhism, he guards Mount Sumeru and Trāyastriṃśa. Pengi is depicted in the JTTW and General Yue Fei, mentioned in Chinese Buddhist literature.

The famous patriot General Yue Fei was believed to be the incarnation of Dapeng Jinchi Mingwang.

A demonic Peng born from The Primordial Phoenix the leader of flying beings. He also has a sister The Peacock Mahamayuri who once tried and failed to consume the Buddha. When he tried to kill her he was stopped and convinced to promote her to his godmother. Which makes the Golden Winged Peng the spiritual uncle of the Buddha. There is a tale of when Nü Tofu the bat spirit listened to the Buddha sermon on the Lotus Sutra at Leiyin temple. The bat spirit accidentally "broke wind" which stained the pure land. Peng snatched the spirit and killed her. For this Buddha exiled Peng to earth. He reincarnated as Yue Fei and the bat spirit reincarnated as Lady Wang. She married Qin Hui and Lady Wang killed Yue Fei in revenge.

For Backstory On These Two: Qui Hui and Lady Wang were the most hated couple in China for a thousand years. Qui Hui was a politician who gained his status by getting rid of political opponents, framing war heroes and was a sycophant to a foreign emperor. He and his wife both conspired to kill the Great War Hero of the Dynasty Yue Fei. He even becomes a puppet ruler. Qui Hui did not like Yue Fei because he was a great guy loved by all and became very popular even being more popular than the emperor. So Qui Hui had him returned and imprisoned. They torture Yue, but Yue Fei refuses to confess to something he did not do. They had him sentenced to death but in another story, Qui Hui's Wife Lady Wang poisoned Yue Fei. However, Yue Feis' story does not end at his death after a few decades Emperor Zhao Chen absolved Yue Fei and dedicated temples to him. Qui Hui and Lady Wang's betrayal and part in the war heroes' death were made public. In front of Yue Fei's temple, two iron statues of the couple were built for public shaming. People spit, abuse, and flop the statues and they get replaced when damaged they have been replaced 11 times since 1475.

Other Ledgends:

According to the martial arts master Laing Shouyu's book he was a great bird that was the guardian that could get rid of all evil in any area. Not even the MONKEY KING was a match. He was sent to China to defend China from invaders and was reborn as Yue Fei.

Yue Fei

The Shurangama Mantra: A mantra of Buddhist practice in China, Japan, and Korea, pertains to the Great golden-winged Peng bird, the Garuda it includes all species of birds. The Peng is the king among birds. He feasts on dragons, his being span measures an astounding 4,950 km, and when he flaps his wings the sea waters part to the deepest seabed.

Thoughts:

Peng's history and legends paint him as a far more powerful being than we have seen so far in the show if the writers do take anything from legends MK and the gang are in some serious trouble besides the ten kings. Also, it really is crazy that maybe even in the LMK universe Peng might have some serious power he was the last standing of the Sworn brothers in the final fight but that was mainly due to him running away. Peng does get redemption in the book with the LMK writers it's a 50/50 on the show. Also, love it when a character has a historical reincarnation to do some digging into.

Eagle Claw (Chinese: 鷹爪派; pinyin: yīng zhǎo pài; eagle claw school) is a style of Chinese martial arts known for its gripping techniques, system of joint locks, takedowns, and pressure point strikes, which is representative of Chinese grappling known as Chin Na. The style is normally attributed to the famous patriotic Song dynasty General Yue Fei. Popular legends states that he learned martial arts from a Shaolin Monk named Zhou Tong and later created Eagle Claw to help his armies combat the invading armies of the Jin dynasty. It was passed down until the Ming dynasty. Thus, the style took on long range strikes and aerial jumps. During the Qing dynasty, the military instructor Liu Shi Jun became known as the modern progenitor of Eagle Claw and taught many students. His student Liu Cheng You later taught Chen Zizheng who was invited to teach the style in the prestigious Chin Woo Athletic Association during the Republican era. The style spread as Chin Woo opened sister schools in other provinces. Today, it is practiced around the world.

TTEOTM Creative Team: What else did they work on?

For those who are a bit underwhelmed by the summer drama options or still dreaming about TTEOTM! 😎

Kuk Kok Leung (Lead Director)

Kuk Kok Leung is a veteran director who started his career in Hong Kong's TVB. He's been nominated for the prestigious Magnolia Award and is known for wuxia and serious, warm-blooded historical dramas (he's adapted 7 out of 8 Jinyong novels). His works include...

Legend of the Condor Heroes (1983) as Assistant Director, with Felix Wong and Barbara Yung

The Duke of Mount Deer (1984), with Tony Leung & Andy Lau

Return of the Condor Heros (1983) with Andy Lau & Idy Chan

Legend of the Condor Heroes (2002) with Li Yapeng & Zhou Xun

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (2003), with Hu Jun, Jimmy Lin, and Liu Yifei

Water Margin (2011), nominated for Magnolia Award

Cool Sword (2013), with Julian Cheung & Wallace Chung

The Patriot Fei Yue (2013), with Huang Xiaoming & Ruby Lin

The Stand-In (2014), with Wallace Chung

The General and I (2016), with Wallace Chung and Angelababy

He's also a frequent collaborator and producer on Johnny To films, including Election, Election 2, Mad Detective.

So you get the picture. He makes TV for men who are ready to bleed for their country. This all makes him a really interesting choice for TTEOTM (and tells you a bit about the ambition and creative vision of the producers), especially since all his more recent idol dramas were widely panned.

Wang Haiqi, Director & Action Director

We don't know too much about Wang Haiqi because TTEOTM is actually his directorial debut. He started his career in stunts and has worked as the action coordinator on Ashes of Love (2018) and Immortality (unreleased) alongside Luo Yunxi. He was also a stunts man/double in a bunch of Hollywood films, including Mulan (2020) and the Foreigner (2017) through the Jacky Chan stunts team.

He's responsible for most of the action/battle scenes in TTEOTM, and his experience working on films probably explains why the fight sequences are unusually cinematic for TV.

Luan Hexin, Art Director

Luan Hexin is a Magnolia Award nominated art director best known for Huanyu productions, including Story of Yanxi Palace, Winter Begonia, and Royal Feast. He's a serious art guy, as you can tell from this interview.

(Note: Huanyu is Bai Lu's management company. There is a rumor that Luan Hexin is part of Bai Lu's "dowry", but the parties have since clarified that Luan was brought in after she was cast.)

He's also an interesting choice, having never worked on costume fantasies before and better known for his authentic representation of the look and feel of bygone eras.

Huang Wei, Costume Designer

Huang Wei is one of the most sought-after costume designers working today, especially for xianxias. She started her career as a Vogue China editor and was in fact the person responsible for TTEOTM's Dunhuang-inspired aesthetics.

Her better known works include A Dream of Splendor (2022), One and Only (2020), Love O2O (2015), Back from the Brink (2023) as well as a bunch of highly anticipated dramas like Immortality and The Last Immortal. (The joke on Chinese internet is that there is an "expensive" vs. "cheap" version of Huang Wei costumes - her design can be much simpler on lower-budget productions.)

I'd like to think that after designing 40 mostly white costumes for Luo Yunxi in Immortality, she decided to go nuts on color with Tantai Jin.

Tsang Ming Fai, Makeup Designer

Tsang Ming Fai is a big name in the xianxia circuit. He and his team of “students" have worked on a large number of costume dramas, including Ashes of Love (2018), Love & Redemption (2020), Under the Power (2019), Noble Aspirations (2016), Sword of Legends (2014), as well as the... wait for it... unreleased Immortality and Luo Yunxi's currently filming drama Follow Your Heart.

He's sadly been receiving a lot of hate in fan circles over the heavy makeup in TTEOTM (which may or may not have been his call). What I do appreciate is his ability to help actors craft distinct characters with varied hair and makeup choices. For example you can distinguish between different Luo Yunxi characters and their personalities with Runyu's clean cut tie-back half ponytail (ethereal & straight laced), Tantai Jin's slightly brown hair, messy bangs and heavy eye shadow (dark & sickly), Chu Wanning's angular eyebrows and geometric hair puff (strict & proud).

He also excels at creating unusual, iconic looks even for side characters, e.g. Chen Yao's dark lipstick paired with gothic jewelry in Immortality and Chen Duling's retro updo in TTEOTM.

#till the end of the moon #black moonlight holds the be script #luo yunxi #cdrama #chang yue jin ming #chinese drama #tteotm #bai lu #tantai jin #ye xiwu #huanyu #yanxi palace #ashes of love #immortality #2ha #winter begonia

Two words can sum up the theme of the film Jiang Ziya - upside down! That is, use the trick of "reversing black and white" and the new edition of "exquisite and pale" to incite rebellion and spread the idea of "rebel system! Rebel leader! Rebel authority!"! Play a public opinion guidance role similar to "voice of America"!

Upside down! It is nothing more than the old method of "peaceful evolution" in the old era! For example, Yue Fei was not a national hero, so the traitor Qin Hui stood up, the traitor Li Hongzhang was portrayed as worrying about the country and the people, Chiang Kai Shek was beautified, the national army was beautified, and the Republic of China was beautified as a "golden decade", the first three decades of new China were vilified as "starving to death of 30 million", Mao Zedong was vilified and vilified, and the heroes Liu Hulan, Lei Feng Huang Jiguang and others have all been slandered by rumors. Those with poor efficiency of state-owned enterprises have been slandered as "zombie enterprises", and those with good efficiency of state-owned enterprises have been slandered as "monopoly". Privatization is the way out for state-owned enterprises (whether the efficiency of public ownership economy is good or bad, it is a sin?). The United States has been beautified as a "lighthouse country", and the problems in China are "System problems, need to be in line with international standards and carry out political system reform", the party leading the way is glorious, patriots are vilified as "angry youth, losers and patriotic thieves", and pro american foreign slaves are beautified as "elite and public knowledge", so as to pollute the "public knowledge" This good word has become a derogatory word on the Internet... It is common to confuse black and white and peaceful evolution in the cultural field of the characteristic old era! The common people have long been "strange"!

So, what is the "upside down" routine of the film Jiang Ziya?

The film tells you that Su Daji is innocent. The author of the film named Su Daji "Xiao Jiu" and asked Jiang Ziya and "Xiao Jiu" It's estimated that Jiang Ziya and Su Daji are just laughing at each other. The movie tells you that the Nine Tailed Fox demon is the victim of the deception of the God, and the whole fox demon family is the victim; the villain Shen Gongbao is a hero; but the God who lives in the temple, overthrows the old world of Shang and Zhou and establishes the new world of Zhou Dynasty has been vilified! Just like Mao Zedong in the characteristic old era The film author repeatedly emphasizes that Tianzun is a liar. Although there is no convincing evidence in the film, Jiuwei fox told Jiang Ziya that Tianzun asked her to help destroy the business, promised to reward her after success, but actually killed the Fox family after success (it doesn't make sense logically. If Tianzun wants to kill the mouth, only one Jiuwei fox is enough. Why exterminate all innocent fox families?) , the new world established by the Heavenly Master is also rendered like hell. The only way to save the souls of the wronged ghosts in the world is the Xuanniao. When the Xuanniao appeared, the film featured its "one eye", suggesting that the "Masonic society" is the Xuanniao... The climax of the film is Jiang Ziya's final rebellion! After listening to the words of the Nine Tailed Fox, he "lit his sword" on his own system without verification ! wield the whip to kill Tianzun... The narrator said that Tianzun was subdued by his master (a higher-level immortal), and the situation of Tianzun was gone. Therefore, the style of the film was reversed, and the world that used to be like hell became sunny, singing birds and fragrant flowers. All these are the "credit" of Jiang Ziya's anti rebel system and rebellion against Tianzun.

Jiang Ziya's technique is common and nothing new. It just continues the "old era of reform and opening up". After being manipulated by capital through "market-oriented reform", the film and television field has become a "thug" of the "peaceful evolution" of the United States. If you want to destroy their country, you should first destroy their history; if you want to destroy their family, you should first destroy their culture! Rely on "inversion" It's just a trick! -- reversing black and white, reversing history, reversing reality and reversing cultural traditions! It encourages rebellion, sinking ships, pushing walls and leading the way in an attempt to subvert the system -- whether it's lust, caution, or rally (there is only the charge horn, but there is no retreat horn. The retreat has always been a secret retreat. How can I blow the horn to tell the enemy that I am going to retreat?) or is 800 upside down beautifying the Kuomintang army and a large number of film and television works beautifying the Kuomintang army's resistance to Japan, which never dare to tell the Chinese people "Why do all Kuomintang generals who have made meritorious contributions to the resistance against Japan worship the Communist Party and Mao Zedong, and finally turn to the Communist Party and Mao Zedong! Finally, they cut off with Kuomintang Chiang Kai Shek!

However, the reality made Jiang Ziya's film a joke. A COVID-19 stripped the American lighthouse pants, and the 40 year old lies were stabbed. The legacy of the Mao Zedong era blessed the Chinese nation, and the capitalist system of the United States even declared that "the epidemic proves that capitalism has failed." , religion will be cut off from "capitalism"! The Chinese have started the reflection mode, market economics has failed, and political economics has begun to return! The line in the first 30 years of Mao Zedong era has been proved to be correct!

The history that has been reversed is reversed again!

In this way, all kinds of foreign slave cultures wandering in China and getting rich by "reversing" have lost their persuasion and become a laughing stock! For a long time, people who lack insight can't understand the profound meaning of film and television works in these characteristic times, just like most people watching Jiang Ziya, obsessed with "saving one person or saving the common people" This kind of smoke bomb; insightful people can understand the profound meaning of characteristic films and television, but they will not be confused by its fallacies! They have the right to read jokes! "Negative teaching materials" are not useless, but also have their warning value!

Perhaps the American masters of foreign slaves on the other side of the ocean also found this. After Trump came to power, the United States stopped sending "dog food" to domestic public. From November 15, 2016, it officially terminated "democratic funds in all federal financial expenditures". Trump also criticized Obama: "Color Revolution and subversion of China are a waste of money!" For those pro american foreign slaves, bow Tibetan dogs cooking, food shortage and expulsion, even those Chinese Americans of VOA are "as terrified as lost dogs". See the news report "these Chinese people working for VOA are going to be driven out of the United States" It can be seen that the US leadership discriminates against those foreign slaves who flatter the United States from the heart. They are known as lackeys, tools and money fraud... Therefore, the Chinese people should pay more attention to trump's "understanding" opponents, lose their illusions and end the war with war!

Liang Hongyu - Drummer general

Little is known of Liang Hongyu’s (d.1135) origins. She was a courtesan in Jiangsu province, China. Some stories pretend that she was in fact the a daughter of a general, was taught martial arts, and was forced to become a courtesan after her family fell into disgrace.

It was when serving at a banquet that she met her future husband, the future general Han Shinzhong. She befriended him and eventually married him. According to another version of her story, it was him who taught her military skills.

She joined her husband in his fight against the invading Jurchen of the Jin dynasty, acting as his close military assistant. She once rushed at the head of her troops to try to rescue Han Shizhong who had found himself encircled by the enemy.

In 1129, commander-General Miao Fu rebelled against Emperor Gaozong and planned to seize control of the imperial throne through the emperor’s son. Hongyu managed to get an audience with the empress dowager and warned her of the conspiracy. The dowager allowed her to go fetch her husband. Liang Hongyu reached him after a long ride and convinced him to march to the capital to end the rebellion. Hongyu was rewarded for her loyalty with the title of “Consort of State Protection”. The state also granted her the salary of a military general.

She and Han Shinzhong resumed their fight against the Jin troops. In 1130, she distinguished herself during a battle on the Yangzi river. Hongyu beat the drum all the while to motivate the troops and the Song soldiers were victorious. She then wrote the court and begged them to pay her and her husband their salary. Her request was granted by the emperor.

As the Jurchen retreated northward, Hongyu and her husband volunteered to establish a military settlement in Chu Prefecture. She died the same year in 1135. The emperor gave 500 taels of silver and many bolts of silk to her family.

Her story was later immortalized through many legends, plays and songs.

Is there another drama set in the Jin Dynasty besides from General and I?

The only other one in vaguely recent time is Patriot Yue Fei, but even that is still pretty old. Starring Huang Xiao Ming, Lin Xin Ru, Liu Shi Shi.

Ignore this.

Patriot Yue Fei is not set during Jin dynasty. I do remember there was something but I can’t think of the name right now. Anyway, Jin is very short so clearly there isn’t a lot of dramas set in them. -h

Federal Reserve Bank of China, 5 Yuan, 1941 depicting Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was a military general of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), best known for loyally leading the defence of the dynasty against invaders from the Jurchen-ruled Jin Dynasty in northern China. According to some accounts he was however treacherously put to death by the government, as corrupt ministers plotted, and a fearful emperor began to perceive a threat to his reign due to the General's successes.

Yuewang (Yue Fei) Temple, Hangzhou

Yue Fei was long revered as national hero in China (he was even deified) and continues to be so across the political spectrum - though that depends on whether or not you consider so-called "Nationalist" or "Communist" China as just two peas in the same totalitarian pod. He is viewed as a symbol of loyalty in Chinese culture. Inevitably he was and continues to be used as a nationalistic and patriotic symbol.

His appearance on a 1941 banknote issued under the Japanese occupation of Northern China was most likely an act of anti-Japanese sabotage by the designer.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SPORTS

Sports and recreation

A number of sports introduced by the Americans in the early 20th century enjoy great popularity in the Philippines. Basketball is particularly prominent, with amateur games occurring regularly in neighbourhoods throughout the country. The Philippines has also fielded formidable national teams for the World Basketball Championships. Tennis, golf, and various aquatic sports such as diving and windsurfing are widely practiced.

Sport(s) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators.

Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports.

However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports.

The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports, although limits the amount of mind games which can be admitted as sports.

Sports are usually governed by a set of rules or customs, which serve to ensure fair competition, and allow consistent adjudication of the winner.

Winning can be determined by physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first, or by the determination of judges who are scoring elements of the sporting performance, including objective or subjective measures such as technical performance or artistic impression.

In organised sport, records of performance are often kept, and for popular sports, this information may be widely announced or reported in sport news.

In addition, sport is a major source of entertainment for non-participants, with spectator sports drawing large crowds to venues, and reaching wider audiences through sports broadcasting.

Filipinos have excelled in various internationally competitive martial arts, including boxing, wushu, and tae kwon do, while local Filipino martial arts traditions have experienced a resurgence since the end of the 20th century. The country has produced champion boxers in competitions hosted by the World Boxing Association, and the Philippines has taken several medals in martial arts in the Asian and Southeast Asian Games.

The Philippines has participated in the Summer Olympic Games since 1924 and in the Winter Games since 1972. Filipino athletes generally have been most successful in swimming, boxing, and track and field events.

CHINESE KUNG FU

Kung Fu, an ancient sport popular in China, has a very long history, during which a variety of skills were created and massively improved. Originated from the hunting and defense needs in the primitive society (over 1.7 million years ago – 21st century BC), it at first only included some basic skills like cleaving, chopping, and stabbing. Later the system of Kung Fu formed and developed mainly as the fighting skills from the Xia Dynasty (21st - 17th century BC) to the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368), and reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911). In modern times, it develops well and becomes not just martial skills or physical movement. It is also a way for keeping fit, entertainment, and performance.

Forming

Chinese Kung Fu started to form during the slavery society (around 11th century BC – 403 BC). Upon the foundation of the Xia Dynasty, it well developed to be more practical and standard to better serve battles. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (17th century BC – 256 BC), martial dance was used to train soldiers and enhance the morale of the army. The theory of Tai Chi was put forward then to lay a foundation for the early system of Chinese martial arts. Later, the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 476 BC) paid much attention to the fighting skills used in the battles. Qi Huangong (716 – 643 BC), one of the state kings at that time, even held martial arts contests twice a year to select heroes.

Development

The development of Kung Fu started during the feudal society (221 BC - 1911). After the Emperor Qin Shihuang (259 - 210 BC) unified the central plain of China, the fighting skills among the soldiers gradually developed into Guanzhong Boxing which was called Hong Fist later. Wrestling, fencing, sword dance and sword fighting were popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC – 220 AD). For example, Xiang Zhuang, a famous general at that time, played sword at Hongmen Banquet with the intention to kill Liu Bang, who later became the Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC – 24 AD).

In the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), at the request of Yue Fei and other patriotic generals, a large number of soldiers and common people tended to practice Kung Fu. It was at that time that Southern Fist (Nanquan) became a popular style taking Hangzhou as the practice center. The Southern Fist mainly emphasized the motions of upper limbs. The movement of elbows and knees was the assistant skills. Later, many similar groups were established to promote the integration of northern and southern martial arts.

In the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368), since Han nationality was thought of as the ragtag, Han people were forbidden to practice Kung Fu in groups, but they secretly gathered to play. It’s said that Jueyuan, the abbot of Shaolin Temple at that time, succeeded the Eighteen Arhats Fist to create the Seventy-two Fists (Huaquan). Later, he learned Li Family Fist, Baimo Fist and Choy Li Fut to further improve all the skills into One-hundred and Seventy-two Fists, including Five-Element Boxing and Eight-Diagram Boxing.

In the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), Long Fist (Changquan), Hong Fist and Kicking Legs appeared with the single and pair practice. The combination of the northern and southern styles composed the Shaolin School Boxing. Qi Jiguang, a famous patriotic general in the Ming Dynasty, compiled all the skills throughout China at that time, including Long Fist, Short Hands, Hong Fist, Bazi Fist and other skills and people called them Southern Shaolin Boxing. Later, Long Fist, Short Hands, Five Fist and Hua Fist of Shandong Province, Five Shapes Boxing and Crane Boxing of Fujian Province as well as the Hung Kuen, Wing Chun and Choy Li Fut of Guangxi and Guangdong provinces became the mainstream during that time.

In the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911), Han people were still forbidden to practice Kung Fu in groups and Southern Shaolin Temple gradually declined. The Shaolin Temple at Mt. Songshan in Henan was under strict supervision. Even the monks were not given the right to practice. However, some works on martial arts were widespread in folk circles. During the middle and end of the dynasty, the basic classification of Internal Boxing and external Boxing was formed, whilst the Northern Legs and Southern Fists became well known. After the first Sino-British Opium War in 1840, many folk martial arts groups sprung up to prevent the British army entering Guangdong. Many specific genres including the Form/Intention Boxing (Xingyiquan), Hung Kuen, Southern Shaolin Boxing, Wing Chun and Tai Chi started to be well improved. After 1864, Hung Kuen, including Hua Fist and Eight-Diagram Boxing was introduced to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

During the Republic of China (1912 - 1949), Jingwu Gymnastics Club, the first non-government Kung Fu organization, was established by Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun. Later it developed many branches in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and other countries.

Nowadays, China government tends to attach more importance to traditional Chinese Kung Fu which has been compiled as content of courses. Every year many performances and contests are held to encourage civilians to learn and inherit the skills. Various groups or organizations have been founded for better advertising and developing, such as International Martial Arts Federation and Chinese Martial Arts Association. Many schools are correspondingly established to teach all kinds of skills, such as Wudang Sanfeng Martial Arts School and Songshan Shaolin Martial Arts School. Moreover, Chinese Kung Fu has come to the world stage to attract more and more foreign people to enjoy and learn.

BASKETBALL 🏀

On the first hand Basketball was created by James Nais Smith, a teacher at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, is credited with inventing basketball in 1891. He just accidentally created basketball for fun with his friends. Basketball starts with a simple basket that has no hole. Wherein there is no rule at that time, there's also no referee and team. It's just a simple basket. As time pass by basketball is developed until it became a national sports and later on some countries adapt and play the basketball as their sports. There's a rule in playing a basketball like a player must bounce, the ball with one hand while moving both feet. If at any time both hands touch the ball or the players stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot. Stay in dribbling the ball. Basketball is the most famous sports around the world. That some avid fan of basketball love the player also. They idolize the incredible and most excellent player.

SWIMMING 🏊‍♂️

Competitive swimming in Britain started around 1830, mostly using breaststroke. Swimming was part of the first modern Olympic games in 1896 in Athens. In 1908, the world swimming association, Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), was formed.

Artwork from the Cave of Swimmers in southwest Egypt shows that Ancient Egyptians were swimming as far back as 10,000 years ago, but the modern sport of competitive swimming began in Great Britain in 1837. At that time, London hosted swimming competitions in its six newly constructed indoor pools.

SEPAK TAKRAW

Sepak is Malay for “kick” and takraw is Thai for “a woven ball”, therefore sepak takraw quite literally means “to kick ball”. The choosing of this name for the sport was essentially a compromise between Malaysia and Thailand, the two powerhouse countries of the sport. Sepak Takraw originates in South-East Asia.

Playing this sports is an absolutely like breath taking. Every time you kick, you attack, it feels like you are flying. Everytime you play this game, it moves you back from the past when you were a child.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE SPORTS THAT PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

SPORTS WILL ALWAYS BE SPORTS. ENGAGE YOURSELF INTO IT. IF YOU WANTED TO BE HAPPY THEN CHOOSE AND PLAY WITH YOUR FOR IT.

Summarize "Jiang Ziya" in two words: upside down! ——Also on Jiang Ziya, the founder of "Peaceful Evolution", "The Twelve Sections of Wenfa" and the "Ten Commandments" of the CIA

Two words can sum up the theme of the movie "Jiang Ziya"-upside down! That is, using the trick of "reversing black and white" and the new edition of "exquisite and pale", to instigate rebellion and spread the idea of "rebellious system! Rebellious leader! Rebellious authority!"! Play a role in guiding public opinion similar to the "Voice of America"!

reverse! It's nothing more than the old method of "peaceful evolution" that features the old age! For example, Yue Fei was not a national hero, so the traitor Qin Hui stood up, the traitor Li Hongzhang was rendered as worrying about the country and the people, Chiang Kai-shek was beautified, the national army was beautified, and the Republic of China was beautified as a "golden decade". The ugly and slander "starved 30 million to death", Mao Zedong was stigmatized and slandered, the heroes Liu Hulan, Lei Feng, Huang Jiguang, etc. were all slandered and slandered again. State-owned enterprises with poor performance were slandered as "zombie enterprises", and state-owned enterprises with good performance were slandered as "zombie enterprises". "Monopoly", privatization is the way out for state-owned enterprises (whether the benefit of the public economy is good or bad, is it a sin?), the United States has been beautified as a "beacon nation", and the problems in China are "systematic problems and the need to be in line with international standards. Carrying out political system reforms", leading the party glorious, patriots were vilified as "angry youths, dicks, patriotic thieves", pro-American and foreign slaves were glorified as "elite, public knowledge", so that it polluted the good word "common knowledge" and became the Internet Derogatory terms...the cultural realm of the old age, reversing black and white, and peaceful evolution are commonplace! The common people have long been "not to blame"!

So, what is the "reverse" routine in the movie "Jiang Ziya"?

The movie tells you that Su Daji is innocent. The film author named Su Daji "Xiao Jiu", and let Jiang Ziya and "Xiao Jiu" get in touch with each other. It is probably also a feeling that Jiang Ziya and Su Daji are together, which is really laughable. The movie tells you, the nine-tailed fox demon. It is the victim of being deceived by Tianzun, the entire fox monster clan is the victim; the big villain Shen Gongbao is a hero; but Tianzun, who lived in the temple, overthrew the old world of Shang Zhou, and established the new world of Zhou Dynasty, has been vilified! It's like the characteristics of the old era that vilified Mao Zedong!

The film’s author repeatedly emphasized that Tianzun was a liar. Although no convincing evidence was compiled in the film, Nine-Tailed Fox told Jiang Ziya that Tianzun asked her to help destroy the quotient. After he promised to grant her a god reward, after the actual success, he killed the fox clan. Extinguish the mouth (it doesn’t make sense logically. If Tianzun wants to kill the nine-tailed fox, why should he wipe out all the innocent foxes?), the new world built by Tianzun is also rendered like hell, saving the world The ghost can only be the mysterious bird present. When the mysterious bird appears, the film features its "one-eyed", implying that "Freemasonry" is the mysterious bird... The climax of the movie is Jiang Ziya's last rebellion! Hearing the words of the nine-tailed fox, without verifying it, he "brightened the sword" to his system! Wield and beat the gods and whip to Tianzun...The narrator said that Tianzun was subjugated by his own master (a higher-level god), and Tianzun's general trend is gone, so the style of the film is reversed, and the previous hell-like world becomes sunny and beautiful, This is all the "credit" of Jiang Ziya's rebellion against the system and Tianzun.

The technique of "Jiang Ziya" is commonplace and nothing new. It just continues the "old era of reform and opening up" after being manipulated by capital by "market-oriented reforms", and it has become a "thug" in the "peaceful evolution" of the United States. If you want to destroy your country, you must destroy its history; if you want to destroy your clan, you must destroy its culture first! Rely on the trick of "upside down"! -Reverse black and white, reverse history, reverse reality, and reverse cultural tradition! Instigating rebellion, sinking ships, pushing walls, leading the way, in vain attempts to subvert the system-whether it is "Lust Caution" upside down and discredit Zheng Ping as a martyr, or "Assembly Number" upside down and discredit the system (there is only the Charge, no retreat, and retreats have always been secret retreats. , How can there be a trumpet to tell the enemy that I am going to retreat?) Or "Eight Hundred" upside down to beautify the Kuomintang army, a large number of film and television works that beautify the Kuomintang army against Japan, and never dared to tell the Chinese "Why do all the Kuomintang generals who have made meritorious anti-Japanese admiration admire the Communist Party? Mao Zedong, and eventually both went to the Communist Party and Mao Zedong! In the end they all cut off with the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek!

However, reality makes the idea of the film "Jiang Ziya" a joke! A COVID-19 pandemic stripped off the underwear of the "Lighthouse Country" in the United States, and the 40-year-known upside-down lies of foreign slaves have been exposed! The system left over from the Mao Zedong era blessed the Chinese nation, and the capitalist system of the United States, even the Pope has publicly claimed that “the epidemic has proved that the theory of capitalism has failed” and that religion must be cut off from “capitalism”! The Chinese have started a mode of reflection, market economics has failed, and political economics has begun to return! The line in the first thirty years of the Mao Zedong era proved to be correct!

The history that was once turned upside down is turned upside down again!

In this way, the various foreign slave cultures that wandered the land of China by "upside down" to make their fortune also lost their convincing power and turned into a laughing stock! For a long time, people who lack insight cannot understand the profound meaning of film and television works of these characteristic times, just like most people who watch "Jiang Ziya" are entangled in the smoke bomb of "save a person or save the common people"; insightful people can Understand the deep meaning of featured movies, but will not be fooled by their fallacies! It's just a joke! "Negative teaching materials" are not useless, they also have warning value!

Perhaps the American masters of foreign slaves across the ocean have also discovered this. After Trump came to power, the United States stopped sending “dog food” to the domestic public. Starting from November 15, 2016, it officially ended “the democracy in all federal fiscal expenditures”. Trump also criticized Obama: “The color revolution and the subversion of China are a waste of money!” For those pro-American and foreign slaves who used to hide their dogs for cooking, and were expelled without food, even those Chinese elements of the Voice of America are now “paniced like a dog of the bereavement”. "For details, see the news report "These Chinese who work for the Voice of America are going to be kicked out of the United States." It can be seen that the American leadership discriminates against those glamorous slaves from the heart. ... Therefore, the Chinese must pay more attention to opponents such as Trump as "understandable", throw away their illusions, and end the war by fighting!

Two words can sum up the theme of the film "Jiang Ziya" - upside down! In other words, it uses the trick of "reversing black and white" and the "delicate and pale" new script to encourage mutiny and spread "rebellion against the system! Rebellion against the head! Rebellion against authority!" The ideology of "rebel against the system! The "Voice of America" is leading public opinion!

　　Upside down! It's just the same old "peaceful evolution" methods of the old days! For example, Yue Fei was not a national hero, but the traitor Qin Hui was allowed to stand up, the traitor Li Hongzhang was made to feel concerned about the country and the people, Chiang Kai-shek was glorified, the national army was glorified, the Republic of China was glorified as having a "golden decade", the first thirty years of the new China were vilified and slandered as "30 million starving to death" Mao Zedong was vilified, the heroes Liu Hulan, Lei Feng, Huang Jiguang, etc. were all vilified, SOEs with poor efficiency were vilified as "zombie enterprises", SOEs with good efficiency were vilified as "monopolies", and privatization was the way out for SOEs (public ownership). The economy is a sin, no matter how good or bad it is?) The United States is glorified as a "lighthouse country", China's problems are all "institutional problems, the need to converge with the international community and reform the political system", the Belt and Road Party is glorified, patriots are vilified as "cynics, losers and patriotic thieves ", pro-US foreign slaves are glorified as "elites, publicists", so much so that the good word "publicist" has been polluted and become a derogatory term on the Internet ...... Features In the cultural sphere of the old days, the reversal of black and white and peaceful evolution were commonplace! The common people have long been "uncomfortable" with it!

　　So what is the "upside down" routine of the movie "Jiang Ziya"?

　　The film tells you that Sudaji is innocent, and the author of the film names Sudaji "Xiaojiu", so that Jiang Ziya and "The film tells you that the nine-tailed fox demon is a victim of Tianzun's deception and that the whole fox demon tribe is a victim; the villain Shen Gongbao is a hero; and Tianzun, who is high up in the temple, overthrowing the old world of the Shang Dynasty and building a new world of the Zhou Dynasty, is vilified! Just like the characteristic old time vilification of Mao Zedong! The author of the film repeatedly stresses that Tianzun is a liar, although no convincing evidence is made up in the film, except that the Nine-tailed Fox tells Jiang Ziya that Tianzun asked her to help destroy the Shang Dynasty, promising to reward her with a god when she succeeds, but actually kills the fox clan to exterminate them when she succeeds (logically it doesn't make sense either, if Tianzun wanted to exterminate them, it would have been enough to kill only the Nine-tailed Fox, why exterminate the entire innocent fox clan?) The new world built by Tianzun is also made to look like hell, and the only one who can save the ghosts and spirits of the world is the Gentoo, whose "one eye" is featured in the film, suggesting that the Masons are the Gentoo... ...the climax of the film is Jiang Ziya's final rebellion! Taking the word of the nine-tailed fox, and without verification, he "turns on his own system"! He wields a whip to kill the Heavenly Djinn ...... The narrator says that the Heavenly Djinn has been subdued by his own master (a higher ranking deity) and that the Heavenly Djinn has lost his power, so the film reverses its style and the earth, previously a hellish place, becomes sunny and full of birds and flowers, all because of Jiang Ziya's rebellion against the system and against the Heavenly Djinn " The film's style is reversed, and the previously hellish earth becomes sunny and full of birds and flowers.

　　If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history; if you want to destroy your tribe, you must first destroy its culture! It is only by the trick of "inversion"!

　　The "Jiang Ziya" is a commonplace and uninspired approach. It is just a continuation of the "old era of reform and opening up" in the field of film and television, which has been manipulated by capital through "market-oriented reforms" and has been reduced to the "peaceful evolution" of the United States. The film and television sector has been manipulated by capital through the "market-oriented reforms" and has been reduced to the "peaceful evolution" of the US. --The reversal of black and white, of history, of reality and of cultural traditions! The film is an attempt to subvert the system by encouraging rebellion, sinking ships, pushing against walls and leading the way - whether it is "Lust and Caution", which upsets and discredits the martyr Zheng Pingru, or "The Gathering", which upsets and discredits the system (there is only a call to charge, not a call to retreat; historically, retreats are always secret retreats, how can you blow a trumpet to tell the enemy that I am retreating?) The film and television productions that glorify the Nationalist army's resistance to Japan never dare to tell Chinese people "why all the Nationalist generals who have made meritorious contributions to the resistance to Japan look up to the Communist Party and Mao Zedong, and eventually defect to the Communist Party and Mao Zedong! Eventually they all cut ties with the KMT's Chiang Kai Shek!

　　However, reality made a joke of the intention of the film "Jiang Ziyang"! A new crown epidemic stripped the US "lighthouse nation" of its underpants, and 40 years of perverse lies by foreign slave publicists were exposed! The system left over from Mao's time has blessed the Chinese nation, while the capitalist system in the US, where even the Pope has openly claimed that "the epidemic proves that capitalist theory has failed", has cut religion off from "capitalism"! The Chinese are in rethinking mode, market economics has failed and political economics has begun to return! The line of the first thirty years of the Maoist era has been proven correct!

　　The history that had been turned upside down was turned back on its head again!

　　In this way, the various foreign slave cultures that have roamed the land of China to make their fortunes by "turning things upside down" have lost their convincing power and have been reduced to a laughing stock! For a long time, people who lack insight do not understand the deeper meaning of these special films and TV works, just like most people who watch "Jiang Ziyao", who dwell on the smoke and mirrors of "saving one person or saving the people"; people who have insight can understand the deeper meaning of the special films and TV works, but they will not be confused by their distorted arguments! It's just a joke! The "negative" is not useless, but also has its warning value!

　　Perhaps the American masters of the foreign slaves across the ocean have also discovered this, and after Trump took office, the United States stopped sending "dog food" to domestic publicists, officially ending "all federal spending on democracy" as of November 15, 2016. Trump also slammed Obama: "Colour revolutions and subversion of China are a waste of money!" Even the Chinese members of the Voice of America are now "in a state of fear", see the news report "These Chinese working for the Voice of America will be expelled from the US". The leadership of the United States discriminates from the bottom of their hearts against those who are pandering to the United States and foreign slaves, just dogs, just tools, just cheating money ...... Therefore, the Chinese have to pay more attention to such "understanding" opponents as Trump, drop the illusion and stop the war with war!
