Introduction to relevant sects:
1. Shaolin sect, the first martial arts sect, had armed forces as early as the early days of Shaolin temple construction in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Monks defend temple property. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a melee among the heroes. Wang Shichong, who was separatist in Luoyang, and Li Shimin, who was occupying Guanzhong, were fighting in the Songshan area. Shaolin Temple has an insight into the current situation and stands on Li Shimin's side. The monks led the crowd to reject the false masters and did a great favor to the British master. Since then, Shaolin Temple has formed a tradition of paying equal attention to educating Buddhist scriptures and practicing martial arts.
2. Wudang Sect, a famous sect founded by Zhang Sanfeng, emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness, using force to fight, and winning with long breath. The characteristic of Wudang Sect Tai Chi is the unity of form and spirit, with intention without exertion; the essence of Tai Chi Sword is round and smooth movements, continuous and continuous. Wudang Kung Fu focuses on cultivating Qi. It does not focus on external strength, but focuses on the cultivation of internal strength.
3. Xiaoyao Sect, a mysterious sect founded by Xiaoyaozi in the late Five Dynasties in Jin Yong's novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". Martial arts emphasize lightness and elegance, elegance and purity, and are infinitely powerful. Once you get one, you can be invincible. Its inner strength runs from Shaoshang point to Yunmen point, which is contrary to the general situation. Therefore, when practicing Xiaoyao sect's inner strength, one must first dissipate the original true energy, and both have high requirements on internal strength.
