Refine the Hong Quan martial arts and promote Chinese culture

2023-09-20

Zhang Shanjian is the representative inheritor of the "Hong Quan" provincial-level intangible cultural heritage project in Hebei Province. Hong Quan has a history of more than 650 years.

Practitioners of Hong Quan first learn "Quan De" (the moral principles of martial arts), then learn "Quan Ji" (the techniques of martial arts). Beginners should practice qigong early in the morning, stand in a stance in the evening, and practice martial arts at noon. The practice emphasizes that "qi is the head of blood, blood is the commander of qi, lead blood with qi, and let qi and blood flow together". "Gui Gong Qiang" emphasizes hand, eye, body, technique, and footwork. The hand, eye, and footwork must be coordinated according to the situation on the battlefield, whether to advance or retreat, with quick eyes and hands, and skillful strength to break through a thousand pounds. On the battlefield, if the enemy does not move, I do not move. If the enemy moves, I move first. Observe the enemy carefully, see through the truth and falsehood, and plan your own attack and defense strategies.

Zhang Shanjian was born into a family of martial arts. He learned from his ancestors since childhood, endured hardships, and devoted himself to the study of martial arts. He never forgot his original intention, tempered his Hong Quan skills, promoted Chinese culture, and nurtured his disciples with dedication. For 30 years, he has taught more than 10,000 disciples for free, and his agile figure often appears in villages, schools, and squares.

"Hong Quan martial arts entering villages, schools, and squares" not only promotes the physical and mental health of young people and the general public, but also is an effective way to promote traditional Chinese martial arts culture and develop national fitness.

During the epidemic, Zhang Shanjian taught Hong Quan martial arts through online live broadcasts to increase the immunity of the people. He also mobilized his disciples to actively donate money and materials and participate in volunteer activities. Zhang Shanjian guided his disciples with martial morality, infected them with his character, and was enthusiastic about public welfare and volunteerism. He has won praise from his fellow martial artists and the general public.

In the face of achievements and honors, Zhang Shanjian remains humble and strives to improve his weaknesses while highlighting his strengths. He is down-to-earth and takes one step at a time. Over the years, he has been awarded numerous championship titles in competitions. It is because of martial artists like Zhang Shanjian that the reputation of Hongquan martial arts has spread throughout Linxi and has been further developed and promoted.
