A Brief Discussion on Chinese Martial Arts and Philosophy
Chinese culture is profound and extensive, with a long history. Martial arts are no exception, boasting numerous styles and often described as "Southern Fist, Northern Leg." The roots of Chinese martial arts can be traced back to primitive society. The relationship between Chinese martial arts and philosophy is inseparable.
My main account got banned, so I specially created an alternate account to come here. Don't say I'm freeloading. The previous book was quite good, so why did this one turn out like this? Especially when the big boss Zhuang appeared, he completely lacked the aura of a big boss, which was really off-putting. Also, the writing is very messy. It's only a dozen chapters in, so please revise it if you can, otherwise I think it will discourage many people.
You could write about America! Definitely! The people next door are murderers, arsonists, politicians, casino owners, arms dealers, and so on—and they're still alive and kicking!
Bajiquan
Bajiquan is a style of Chinese martial arts. The term "Baji" originally came from an ancient geographical concept, derived from the Han Dynasty text *Huainanzi*, which states, "Between heaven and earth, there are nine provinces and eight extremes." In modern martial arts, "Baji" signifies "the ability to generate power that can reach the farthest places in all directions."
Huo Zai's family secret technique - Tan Tui
Tan Tui is one of the styles of Chinese martial arts. In martial arts, there's a saying "Southern Fist, Northern Leg," where Southern Fist refers to Hung Kuen (洪拳) and "Northern Leg" refers to Tan Tui, also known as "Tan Leg." Tan Tui routines are simple and well-structured, symmetrical, and fluid in their movements.
I feel like the author isn't going to include us readers from the previous book 😭. First of all, I can't understand a lot of the dialects. The main language is Mandarin, and a little Cantonese is okay, but most of it is very difficult to read.
This kind of half-Cantonese, half-Cantonese dialogue... Even I, a Cantonese person, felt really awkward watching it. I didn't know whether to watch it in Mandarin or Cantonese; it was so distracting...
Author, I'm begging you!
Please, please revise the writing! It's neither Cantonese nor Mandarin, it's so difficult and tiring to read, and there are so many typos and words! Can't you stick to one consistent writing style? Cantonese can be used as a casual expression, or just a phrase or two occasionally, is that not allowed? Besides, I feel like the Cantonese I write isn't even particularly standard, bro.
Your dialect is so offensive, I can't understand it at all. Is this written for Cantonese speakers? Your last book wasn't like this either. You said your writing had improved, but it feels nowhere near as good as the last one. Sigh.
