Setting data: The Eight Gates of Jianghu

In the past, the martial arts of Jianghu were divided into eight categories: Jing, Tired, Piao, Si, Feng, Huo, Jue, including all kinds of ways to make a living in Jianghu. But the real Eight Gates of Jianghu are not just these, but everything in the world.

The way to do it——

Three mountains and five mountains, five lakes and four seas, from temples to marketplaces, are all called rivers and lakes. As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. All the skills of doing things in the world can be called rivers and lakes. In ancient times, there was a saying of the eight gates.

However, since the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the so-called Jianghu has been reduced to a small means for wandering artists to cheat money. This is Jianghu in a narrow sense. The eight gates of Jianghu that people today talk about are completely narrow.

Jingmen is the first of the eight gates of Jianghu. It is mainly used to study good and bad luck and provide guidance for people. Nowadays, those who read fortunes and tell fortunes are all Jianghu people in Jingmen. The ancestors of Jingmen are Fuxi and King Wen of Zhou. It is said that Fuxi painted Bagua and

King Wen performed the Book of Changes, and the sorcerers often worshiped another patriarch, Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty. It is said that Dongfang Shuo once set up a stall for divination in Chang'an City. If there is a classic in Jingmen, it is the "Book of Changes".

It is not unreasonable for the eight gates of Jianghu to be headed by Jingmen, because it studies the changes in the way of heaven. Once mastered in Jingmen, the other seven Jianghu arts can be understood by analogy. Deducing good, bad, bad, good, and changes in worldly affairs is the core of the world. Modern fortune-telling

I'm afraid you don't have this ability, but the ability to read people is still a basic skill, and the world of charlatanism is all about seeing what people are doing.

Weary Gate focuses on the practice of medicine to help the world. The practice of medicine here includes not only traveling doctors, but also doctors who sit in court, and even ancient witchcraft, etc. Anyone who uses various methods to treat people will belong to Weary Gate.

There are two ancestors that people in the family worship, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing and the medicine king Sun Simiao. But nowadays, when people talk about the exhausted family, most of them are referring to the wandering doctors.

The Tired Gate is second only to the Jingmen and is the second of the eight gates of Jianghu. Its status is also very important because it studies people's own knowledge. Strictly speaking, the ancestors of the Tired Gate are Huangdi Xuanyuan and Yandi Shennong, who are also the legendary ancestors of the Chinese nation.

The ancestor, the classics of the tired gate are of course the Huangdi Neijing and the Shennong's Materia Medica.

Piaomen emphasizes the way of traveling to study. The founder of Piaomen is Confucius, a saint. This is probably something that many people would never think of. And to this day, jugglers, stage performers, and even fireworks prostitutes all call themselves Piaomen.

The man in the door.

Cemen focuses on the study of modern and ancient studies. The founder of Cemen is Sima Qian. Today, those who are engaged in martial arts, those who deal with genuine and fake antiques, those who sell palaces, and those who deal in calligraphy and painting all call themselves people in Cemen, and even some

Including tomb robbers.

Fengmen studies the geography, mountains and rivers of the world. The founder of Fengmen is said to be Guo Pu, so today’s Fengshui masters and Yin-Yang masters are all from Fengmen.

Huomen pays attention to various health-preserving techniques. The founder of Huomen is Ge Hongge Tianshi, whose classics include "Baopuzi", "Shen Tongqi", etc. Then alchemy, alchemy, and Fangzhongshu are all

It's a trick of the Huomen Jianghu people.

Juemen pays attention to the way of serving as an official. Legend has it that the founder of Juemen is Mr. Guigu. The classics are "Guiguzi" and "Warring States Policy". Mr. Guigu has two famous disciples, Su Qin and Zhang Yi. The traditional Juemen

What I'm talking about is actually the art of political manipulation. Since modern times, the tricks of buying and selling officials, including defrauding people in the name of official organizations, can also be regarded as the charlatanism of Juemen.

The Yao Sect focuses on the way of being down and out. The knowledge of this sect is profound. How should you deal with yourself when times are bad and how can you survive the adversity? The founder of the Yao Sect is said to be Zhu Yuanzhang, and some say it is Liu Xiatuo. His identity is unknown.

.In modern times, those who beat lotus flowers to beg for food, those who eat from wealthy households to catch the autumn wind, those who pretend to be monks and nuns to deceive others, and even those who give menstrual sweat medicine can be regarded as being in the family.

From this point of view, the Eight Gates of Jianghu are all-encompassing and talk about the means and principles of doing things in the world. There is no good or evil in Jianghu itself, it is just a variety of means, but the good and bad people in Jianghu are mixed. And the Eight Gates of Jianghu in modern times talk about

Almost all of them are Jianghu tricks, falling into the narrow sense of "walking in Jianghu".

In ancient times, people in the martial arts world paid attention to two things: "Li" and "Jian", also known as "Shu" and "Tao". Li refers to means, similar to business practices, trying to figure out what method people can use to achieve their goals;

The sharp point refers to the true skill, the real kung fu and the path to pursue. For example, when Weimen talks about practicing medicine, the "inside" refers to how to deceive people by being mysterious, while the "tip" refers to the true cultivation of medicine.

When doing things in the world, the two words "li" and "jian" cannot be neglected. Otherwise, even if you have real ability, no one may be willing to buy it. Throughout the ages, there have been many talents in the world. As the saying goes, "The best among the best, great, the best among the best."

, Race the Immortals", this is the truth. However, in modern times, the magicians and artists who have traveled around the world have mostly studied the methods of deception and deception, and most of them have become low-level. In fact, the art of martial arts itself is a university subject. If you make good use of it,

The way is enough to travel the world.
