Hui'an Stone Carving, list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China, 2006
List of National Intangible Cultural Heriatage( I ) of China
Year:2006
Sort:Folk Fine Arts
Area:Fujian Province
Serial No.:Ⅶ-36
Declarer:Hui'an County, Fujian Province
Hui'an Stone Carving is a traditional carving art using petrous bluestone that is mainly found in my hometown Hui'an County in theQuanzhou area of Fujian Province. Hui'an teems with blue stones that stonemasons use to make sculptures for decorating temples and other constructions.
Hui'an Stone Carving originated along theYellow Rivervalley, and combined local cultural elements as well as those from foreign cultures introduced via theSilk Roadat Sea.
As early as theSouthern Song Dynasty(1127-1279), Hui'an Stone Carving was divided into numerous genres. It developed rapidly during theYuan Dynasty(1271-1368) and reached its peak by the end of theMing Dynasty(1368-1644). Stone-carving shops sprang up in the region. They produced mainly architectural decorations, and these decorative carvings made their way into many temples and monasteries in Fujian andTaiwan, as well as some ofBeijing's grandest buildings.
There are five main genres of Hui'an Stone Carving; stone tablets, landscape sculptures, architectural ornaments, crafts, and practical-use daily utensils. The techniques employed include circular-carving, relief-carving, line-engraving, incised-carving, and image-engraving.
The themes of Hui'an stone carving mainly center on figures, flowers and birds. It is famous for the stone lion, which is lovely and has stone pearls in its mouth.
Hui'an stone carving has seen many developments over the years. With distinct local characteristics, it has spread overseas and is especially popular in Southeast Asian countries.
Fuzhou Golden Lion Boxing
Jin Shi Quan Golden Lion Boxing
Demonstrated by Yu Zhaoguo
Lion Boxing has a long history in Fujian and was recorded there relatively early. According to legend it was spread in Fuzhou by master Li Chun, better known by his Buddhist name An Hai (Peaceful Ocean). An Hai is often said to have been a Southern Shaolin monk.
However research in Yongtai county where they still practice a style known as Anhai quan suggests that Anhai was actually from Yongtai's Xiaolian Daoist temple and was active in the early 18th century (this is the same time frame given by the golden lion schools). (Boxing was a popular pastime in Fujian temples. There are many boxing schools started by monks and priests from local temples and shrines in Fujian. Within the last century all of those monks from minor temples and Daoist priests have magically become Southern Shaolin monks fleeing the burning of the Shaolin temple. It's amazing how quick history can change.)
The Lion is not a native species in China and was made popular in China by it's symbolic use in Buddhism, Indo-Iranian cults such as Manichaeism, Islam and to a lesser extent Judaism, Nestorian Christianity, and Hinduism.
In Fujian the Golden Lion school is considered to be part of the Buddhist Weituo sect of Boxing.
The much of the Golden Lion practiced today can be traced back to master Chen Yaohua a Chinese medicine doctor and martial arts teacher who was forced to flee his hometown in the Taijiang district of Fuzhou for trying to stand up to the local landlords.
Upon arriving in a small village in Lianjiang county he met a man who went by the title of Kui Jun Jiu (Outstanding Talent 9).
Kui Jun Jiu was a famous martial arts master who taught him the Golden lion methods of boxing and medicine.
Later during the Republican period Chen Yaohua was appointed to the position of president of the Taijiang hospital where they were researching the development of methods integrating western and traditional Chinese medicine.
Today Golden lion boxing is spread in the Yongtai, Minhou, Changle, Taijiang, Lianjiang regions of Fuzhou and in parts of Southeast Asia.
This system is also know locally as Wan Shou Qiao Shi Fa (Ten Thousand Year Old Bridge Lion Methods). This is in reference to the famous Ten Thousand Year Old Bridge which was built in the Yuan dynasty. The bridge was built across the great Min river on the main north -south road in Fujian. It was constructed of stone and had great stone lions set atop the railing pillars.
a few of these lions were salvaged when the bridge was rebuilt and still exist in a local temple.
Lion form, Ha Say Fu / Ten Animal Hung Kuen
Shī Xíng Quán / Si Ying Kuen
Maoming area Hung Kuen* Lion Boxing form
The Hung Kuen of the Ha Say Fu region (Xià Sì Fǔ / Lower Four Prefectures)(modern day Maoming & Zhanjiang) is often referred to as Ten Form Hung Kuen. The Ten animals are divided into the Upper Five Animals being Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Crane, and Dragon, and the Lower Five Animals being Lion, Elephant, Horse, Monkey, and Tiger Cub/Jungle Cat, each having it's own form.
One notable feature of the Hung Kuen in this area is it's tendency to repeat each section of a form equally on both sides.
*The Hung Kuen demonstrated here is from Maoming, although the Upper Five Shapes, demonstrated by a group from the Maonan district, is from a different lineage than the Lower Five Shapes, which are demonstrated by Lei Cheung Tim of Gaozhou county.
Half Dragon Tiger Boxing, Gutian county Fujian
Ban Long Hu Zhuang Half Dragon Tiger Stake
Ban Long Hu Zhuang styles are practiced in several areas around Ningde and neighboring prefectures.
These systems date from the mid to late 19th century and are local combinations of the Hu Zun and Long Zhuang systems.
Hu Zun / hu Zhuang and Long Zun / Long Zhuang are the most widely practiced styles across Ningde and neighboring areas. As a result villages in several areas developed forms or whole systems combining the methods of the two styles.
This example comes from Gutian county in Ningde prefecture.

Fuzhou Feeding Crane News clip
Shí Hè Quán (Feeding Crane Boxing)
News clip featuring Chen Wenjin,
Chen Wenjin is known in Fuzhou as a master of Feeding Crane and for his high level skills in Iron Palm and Iron Body methods.
This lineage of Feeding Crane can be traced back to the late Qing dynasty to a Taoist priest know locally as Yi Tou Chun Leaning Head Chun (for his crooked neck). Chun was skilled in both Golden Lion Boxing and Feeding Crane. Among these two styles the Golden Lion Boxing was the public face of his arts, while he kept his feeding crane skills secret.
He eventually passed the Feeding Crane methods down to his wife's nephew Tai Maoshi, a livestock dealer from Fuzhou's Lianjiang county.
Tai Maoshi in turn began teaching martial arts to a chef in the Xindian district named Chen Lifu. Chen was very respectful and always served his teacher and grand teacher meals whenever they came to see him or he came to see them.
At the advice of Chun, Tai Maoshi decided to pass down the complete system of Feeding Crane to Chen Lifu.
Chen was known as a very respectful man and did not like to fight. However with his job as a chef he often butchered livestock and would use them to test his skills. It is said that he was able to shatter the skull of a pig with a palm strike to it's head. Another time he used the propping palm strike to hit the belly of a water buffalo which was immediately dropped to it's knees by the strike. Later he tried using the crane claw method on the belly of a pig. The pig immediately walked to a ditch and began drinking large volumes of water before collapsing and passing away hours later. Upon butchering the animal he found that it's intestines had been torn by the strike.
Chen was also known for his skill in Dian Xue specializing in the use of acupoints for treating injuries and illness. He grew to become a well known local doctor specializing in injury treatments.
In 1964 Chen received awards in the Fujian martial arts competition and was then appointed to be a judge of southern style boxing in national martial arts competitions.
Chen Lifu later passed his system of Feeding Crane to his nephew Chen Wenjin.
This system of Feeding Crane contains nine Kuang (taolu / forms), these are in order from 1st to last Dia Gu Hanging Bones, Dian Fei Point Flying, Diao Lian Holding Lotus (in mouth), Si Men Four Gates, Wu Xing Five Phases, Sanshiliu Jiao Shou 36 Legs and Hands, Bagua Eight Diagrams, Yin Yang Shou Yin Yang Hands, Shi He Luohan Duo Shou Zhan Quan Feeding Crane Luohan Many Hands Battle Boxing.
(aside from being transliterated in standard Mandarin Pinyin rather than Mindong it's likely many of these are mistranslated. For one thing often the correct characters for the names of forms get lost, also people in Min language areas commonly used characters for their phonetic values to render unique local words or slang. Even in the martial arts the Min speaking areas tended to have particularly unique terminologies. Which makes understanding form names or sayings from old folk arts in Min speaking areas particularly hard.)
There are a number of lineages that use the name Feeding Crane in Fuzhou, Putian and Taiwan. There are a number of possibilities such as some of these schools being completely unrelated to each other or stemming from an older body of material which is now lost. The line named Feeding Crane which seems to have been prominent in Fuzhou during the late 19th and early 20th century is quite possibly lost. There were at least a couple old teacher who knew bits of it during the 1980's. However I do not know if any of it survives today. It is possible the Putian lineage is an offshoot of these but I don't have any information on their lineage history.
So what we do have is at least 3 different still extant systems calling themselves Feeding Crane, each of which have totally different lineages which all can reliably be traced back to the later part of the 19th century but no further.
Kung Fu Grandma Practices Chinese Martial Arts for Nine Decades
Don't let Zhang Hexian's age fool you as the 94-year-old has a particular set of skills that make her a nightmare for thugs anywhere. The resident of Ninghai County in east China's Zhejiang Province has been practicing Chinese martial arts since she was four and through the years she has refined her skills with great diligence and effort to become affectionately known as Kung Fu Grandma.
Regarded as the village of martial arts, nearly everyone in the village where Zhang lives practices kung fu. As the eighth descendant of her family, Zhang learned kung fu under her father's instruction at the age of four and has continued to practice throughout nine decades.
My dad took me to sleep at that time. When we woke up in the morning, we started practicing kung fu in bed. I learned basic martial arts skills such as pushing palm and throwing a punch at an early age, said Zhang Hexian.
Practicing kung fu has become a daily routine in Zhang's life. Every morning, Zhang does kung fu exercises without feeling tired. Apparently she is in good health.
She wakes up very early and does physical exercises every morning. She usually runs around the village for morning exercise,said Zhang's son Feng Chuanyin.
Zhang recalled that she once fought against a bully when she was young. The bully was beating his wife when Zhang saw him. To uphold justice, Zhang grabbed his collar, ripped his shirt off and urged him to behave well.
Apart from being a deterrent to hooligans and ruffians, Zhang is also a warm-hearted woman willing to help others, which is one of the secrets of her longevity.
She always has a good mood with a positive attitude. Helping others is also good for her health, said Feng.

Martial Traditions of Fuzhou's Yongtai County
Yǒngtài county in the Fúzhōu prefecture of Fújiàn province has long been know for it's martial arts.
Yongtai county is in a rugged mountainous area of Fujian, in the mountains there are many remote villages. The villagers there make a living by farming the mountain slopes and valleys.
Hidden in these villages are a number of rare martial arts which today are often called Southern Shaolin. However according to local myth the Fujian southern boxing traditions were actually founded by Zhang Ciguan and his two companions. These three men are considered the founders of the Black Hat sect of Lu Shan Boxing. There are other myths from the area which also relate the founding of the Fujian Southern Boxing tradition to the founder of the Red Hat sect of Lu Shan Taoism.
We know that several major styles were practiced in or originated from the two oldest temples of Lu Shan Black Hat sect, Xiaolian Si and Fangguang Yan Si which are located in Yongtai. Several local Yongtai styles now claim to have come from the mythical Southern Shaolin temple.
At least a couple of these such as Dog Boxing and Anhai Method have actually been able to be traced back to to the two Taoist temples previously mentioned. The Iron Monks of local Fujian five ancestor myths also make appearances in some Yongtai styles (in oral tradition Anhai was said to have studied under Iron Bead)
Boxing has long been popular in Yongtai with martial arts originating from both it's villages and it's mountain monasteries.
Some of the better known Yongtai arts featured in this video are De Shù Quán Ground Method Boxing A.K.A. Gǒu Quán (Dog Boxing), Hǔ Zūn Quán (Tiger Respect Boxing), Jī Fǎ (Rooster Method), Zǒuláng Quán (Corridor Boxing), and Ānhǎi Quán (Peaceful Sea Boxing). Also practiced are many family styles and animal forms unknown outside of this area, some of which are shown here.
Long Zun Quan, Southern Dragon Boxing, Ningde prefecture, Fujian
Lóng Zūn Quán,
Dragon Respecting Boxing
According to tradition this style was brought south by a Shaolin monk from Kaifeng during the late 1600's. After that it was transmitted within the Southern Shaolin Temple for for a few generations. After the destruction of the Southern Shaolin Temple it was transmitted by the Iron Bead Monk to a number of people in a few small villages in Gutian county, Ningde prefecture. Today this style is widely spread in many small villages in both Ningde and Fuzhou prefectures as well as in Xianyou county in Putian prefecture.
With the age of the style and the wide area it is spread across there are now many different schools of Long Zhuang / Long Zun often having very different forms and appearances.
The style it's self has also been mixed with other older methods in many areas forming the basis of many regional arts such as Ningde Long Hu Zhuang Dragon Tiger Stake and Long He Zhuang Dragon Crane Stake as well as being the core of many unique family and village arts across northern and central Fujian.
This video it's self shows a form of Long Zun which is notably different from the older methods.
Mok Gar Kuen
Mok Gar Kuen
Mok Gar is one of the Five Famous Family Styles of Guangdong province. As such it's name is well known, although the style it's self is not very common.
It favors close rang fighting methods, utilizing short bridge techniques and is best known for it's wide variety of highly developed kicking methods.
One unique method used in Mok Gar for training is the practice involves the use of a thick 9 foot section of bamboo that has been hollowed out except for the bottom septum. It is sunk several feet into the ground, leaving about a man's height sticking out. The bamboo is then filled with copper coins for solidity and used as a striking dummy.
Mok Gar comes from the Mok family of the DongJiang region of the Pearl River Delta.
Much of the information out there on the origins of the style is full of embellishments and fabrications. Lucky the Mok family it's self was very prominent locally with the founder, his brother, and virtually all of their children and grandchildren being scholars holding the positions of village or county level officials. Because of this there remain extensive family records.
This style originates slightly earlier than the rest of the five styles. Arising during a 60 year period of lawlessness in the pearl river basin following the fall of the Ming dynasty. The founder was named Mok TaShi (usually wrongly claimed to be a Shaolin Monk).
At the time the Ming dynasty had fallen, but the Qing dynasty still had not extended it's control to the far southern regions. With the economy in shambles and no police or soldiers to protect the people, armies of bandits wandered the land. During this time the people looked to the local officials who began to organize the training of local militias to keep law and order and to protect their villages from the roving bandits..
One of these men was Mok TaShi, a local scholar and skilled martial artist from Fiery Mound Village in today's Huiyang District of Huizhou prefecture.
From Mok TaShi and his brother the family traditions of scholarly and martial excellence was passed down through the family to their sons and grandsons.
Legend Tells of Mok TaShi's grandson or great grandson Mok QinKiu who went on to perfect the methods of kicking from a man named Choy KaoYee. However there are extensive genealogical records detailing all the descendants of the Mok clan and there is no one listed with this name. However their is also the possibility that these legends were originally based on stories of Mok QinJan, Mok TaShi's grandnephew who was well known for his martial prowess,
When translated into Hakkanese or Mandarin these two names are at least somewhat similar.
Further more the Mok family spread over time With each family member passing it on to their Children. Mok Ta Shi and his brother each had many sons, most of whom in turn had many sons. Also the majority of Fiery Mound Village was made up of memebrs of the Mok clan, many of whom had also been taught Mok Gar. By the third generation it was already spread to a large number of people. The fact that the extensive arsenal of kicking is something shared by all lineages of Mok Gar suggests that it was something which was originally a feature of the style. Not something added on by one lineage after the style had spread.

Guangxi Hezhou Hakka Martial Arts Documentary
Documentary on the Hakka martial arts in Guangxi and Guangdong provinces with a focus on the martial arts of Hezhou in eastern Guangxi as well as some of the arts of the Meizhou area of eastern Guangdong that have been transplanted to Hezhou
I previously posted this documentary however that version had a much smaller picture with extremely low definition. Due to the popularity I decided to post a better version.
In ancient times the peoples of southern China were looked upon as barbarians by the northern Han Chinese. This coupled with the fact that the ancestors of the Hakka went south as refugees often with little except the clothes on their backs, causing them to be seen as beggars by the Southern Chinese peoples, created great tension between the two groups.
So despite the fact that almost 1000 years have past since the major southward migration of the Hakka's ancestors they have retained a separate identity.
This has also led to great conflict between the Hakka and the various peoples they encountered.
The constant small scale warring between the Hakka and their neighbors led to the development of many unique martial arts.
Originally many of the Hakka people settled in coastal Fujian province, however during the early Qing dynasty the coasts of Fujian were cleared of villages and people in order to cut off the last holdouts of the Ming dynasty in Taiwan. When this was over and the people were allowed to return many landless people flooded in to grab land in areas previously settled by the Hakka. This caused much conflict eventually prompting the Qing government to force the Hakka to relocate. Many moved southwest into Guangdong, others moved due west to places like Jiangxi, southern-Henan, and Guangxi where there were already large populations of Hakka people. In all these areas you can find martial arts practiced among the Hakka peoples. However when you talk about Hakka martial arts most people think about the styles practiced in Guangdong province. These arts still retain many of the features of Fujianese styles, they are often said to be very different from the other arts practiced in Guangdong. However in reality they have greatly influenced the kung fu practiced by all people in the area.
Six Family Boxing system of Tianzhu's Dong people
Liu Jia Quan Six Family Boxing is practiced by members of the Dong* ethnic group living in Ganxi Stronghold, located in Duma township, Tianzhou County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture in Guizhou province.
According to local traditions martial arts have been practiced by the people of Ganxi Zhai* since the settling of the village in the reign of emperor Hongwu founder of the Ming dynasty.
The style gets it's name from the six main clans of Ganxi Zhai, each of which was said to have developed their own martial specialty.
According to tradition in the early years of the village the people were very poor with only a small amount of livestock and were rarely able to eat meat. The few pigs they had were saved for holidays to be used as sacrifices.
At one point their pigs began to rapidly disappear from their pen at night. The local people got together and organized an armed watch over the pigs.
That night several men spread out into the area around the pig pen to look for the culprit. As they stood watch they suddenly heard loud terrified squeals coming from the pig pen. The squeals of the pigs and yells of the men woke the rest of the villager who all came running carrying spears, pitchforks, and polearms. The men followed the noise and cornered a very large old one eyed tiger holding a freshly killed pig in it's mouth*. In their anger over the slaughter of their pigs the villagers all rushed on the tiger with their spears, forks, and polearms. The tiger attacked back swatting aside the weapons and throwing men to the ground. Coming to their senses the villagers scattered and ran.
The next morning they checked the pen to find that all but the old mother hog had been killed.
Of the men who had surrounded the tiger, many had broken bones, been knocked unconscious or had deep gashes from the tigers claws. But miraculously no one had been killed.
The heads of the village called a meeting, it was decided that each family should take their best young fighters and spend the next year perfecting their skills. When the year was up they would all meet as a village and share their best skills in order to better be able to deal with future threats.
This was the birth of Ganxi's Six Family Boxing system.
A few years later the night watchmen spotted four tigers approaching the pig pen and sounded the alarm. Ten men rushed out with spears and forks and swiftly killed one of the tigers while the other 3 tigers fled. That night the people of the village celebrated, drinking wine and feasting on tiger meat.
The next morning every person from the village took a piece of the tiger's skin and nailed it to one of the trees surrounding the village to warn away other predators.
After this the village successfully faced predators and bandits many times, often capturing bandits to hand over to the authorities.
Because of the reputation they gained facing bandits and predators, their martial arts became famous throughout the Dong and Miao strongholds of Qiandongnan and many people came to Ganxi Stronghold to learn the Six Family martial arts in order to defend their own villages.
The six clans of Ganxi Zhai are the Lu, Tao, Chen, Yang, Yuan, and Song. They specialized in Dragon, Tiger, Snake, Leopard, Eagle, and Monkey methods respectively.
The old saying in the village on the skills of the six clans goes:
The Lu clan's Dragon boxing is strong and ferocious, it's fists crush boulders.
The Tao clan's Tiger pounce is sudden and swift, it's palms splinter bamboo.
The Chen clan's alert Snake flicks it's tongue, it's finger thrust pierces bricks.
The Yang clan's Leopard rushes like a thunder clap, it's leg sweep snaps tree trunks.
The Yuan clan's Eagle soars in the skies, it's claws reduce stumps to splinters.
The Song clan's body is flexible and agile, it climbs trees like a Monkey.
As with most traditional martial arts a wide variety of weapons are practiced in Ganxi village. In addition to the standard weapons seen in most Chinese martial arts the villagers are known for their skills with Tie Chi Iron Rulers, Yue Ya Tang Crescent Moon Polearm (two blade fork, this is closely associated with the Dong people who use a shorter than average version), and especially for their Hong Men Staff system.
*The Dong or Kam people speak a language from the Rau branch of northern Tai languages. Having no written language their mythology is passed down by story keepers in a collection of epic songs detailing their lineage, history and mythology. During the Ming and Qing the Dong people took part in several uprisings.
*(Ganxi Zhai is literally translated as Sweet Creek Stronghold
The term Zhai meaning Stockade or Stronghold is a commonly used term for local ethnic minority villages in the more remote mountain areas of western China, which were often built with defense in mind.)
*most tigers who habitually prey on humans or livestock are old, sick, or injured tigers who have become too slow to hunt effectively.

Xiao Tianzun of the Yun Mountain Sect is on the prowl. He is a serial rapist and has just spotted his next victim in a silhouette from a home he has happened to pass. Unfortunately for Xiao Tianzun, the hero known as Wind Chasing Knife Master Liu Peng also happens to be enjoying the hospitality of the family that owns the home along with his two daughters and his senior student. The hero and his daughter stop Xiao Tianzun from raping the mute daughter of a blind woman and Xiao Tianzun quickly begins begging for his life. Master Liu's daughters and student all protest strongly, nevertheless, Master Liu grants Xiao Tianzun's request to spare his life but scars Xiao Tianzun's chest to teach him a lesson.
THE IRON BUDDHA (1970) is a peek at pure evil or as close as I have seen so far of pure evil in a wuxia movie. Even though Sung Kang (Hiu-Wong) never wrote another screenplay after this one I can't say why this script would be considered so bad... --okay I can, but themes of the psychological underpinnings of pathological criminals should not only be pursued by television crime drama script writers but those that want to expand and kept the wuxia genre alive. People now-a-days will be more likely to see your movie if there is more to it than Why did you kill my teacher? (or steal my elephant?). For these reasons I recommend THE IRON BUDDHA (1970) as a must-see especially for students of film making, but as a collectible --not so much. See you next time!
Shi Pan Village Boxing, Guangdong Province I - [广东: 石盘村 拳法 I]
Practice of Boxing from Shi Pan Village.
Along the North Coast of Guangdong Province just south of Chaozhou and Shantou lies Pu Ning County/city....in which lies Shi Pan Village. Here in addition to the rare Tiger Lion Dancing, they practice an old traditional chinese boxing. This art is thought by some to be the same as practiced by Huang Linjiao (Master from Hai Feng which lies further south from Shi Pan village on the way to Hui Zhou) who was the teacher of Lin Qingyuan (father of Dragon Style Founder Lin Yaogui (Lum Yiuguai) and Lin He (Teacher of Zhong Li Quan (Cheung Lai Chun), founder of Bai Mei).
The techniques are raw but show similarities to core Dong JIang (White Eyebrow and Dragon) methods.
