In the martial arts novels, "Tangmen in Sichuan" is a very special family gang, and its members are all members of the Tang clan. But it is different from the general "aristocratic family". In martial arts novels, "aristocratic family" refers to a family that has been prestigious and respected in the martial arts for several generations, with fewer members, usually only three generations; The location is uncertain, mainly distributed in the Central Plains. "Tangmen" has always settled in Sichuan, with a huge family, forming a self-defense organization similar to "fortress", but it is "Jianghu" rather than "manor-style". The Tang Clan is usually presided over by the longest member of the clan, who has great power. Members of the clan may not all know martial arts, only one person who is responsible for foreign affairs practices martial arts, while others do their own jobs.
In martial arts novels, the Tang Clan in Sichuan is usually classified as an "evil way". Gu Long's White Jade Tiger describes the story that Tang Clan joined hands with the Thunderbolt Hall in the south of the Yangtze River in order to dominate the Jianghu and destroy its rival "Dafeng Hall". However, the main features of the Tang Clan are "hidden weapons" and "Poison", and there are almost no exceptions in martial arts novels.
Tangmen is good at making "hidden weapons", ranging from iron thistle, iron sand and silver needle to many imaginary hidden weapons. At the same time, in order to give full play to hidden weapons's efficacy, he is also proficient in all kinds of techniques of beating hidden weapons. For example, Gu Long wrote a trick of "It's raining all over the sky", which can send out 64 pieces of hidden weapons with different strength and speed at the same time, attacking 64 different places respectively, which is very powerful. And, more importantly, every kind of hidden weapons is poisoned with a huge poison. When it touches the human body, it will die in a very short time, even though it is only an unimportant place.
it is quite intriguing how such sects formed the "convention" of martial arts novels. Wulin people pay attention to being open and aboveboard, and Tangmen hurt people with hidden weapons and poison, which should be the reason why it is often classified as "evil school". However, it is impossible to determine which writer first created Tangmen. Interestingly, among the martial arts schools in China, according to Wan Laisheng, a famous martial arts expert in the Republic of China, there happened to be a "Sister-in-law Tang of Sichuan", who was proficient in a kind of martial arts called "Shashou, the God of Five Poisons", who used poisonous sand to hurt people.
as for the Tang clan, it is uncertain whether it is related to "Mrs. Tang".
The sect introduced to you here this time is Tangmen, Sichuan.
Tangmen, Sichuan, has always been a well-known name in martial arts novels, and when it comes to the poison of Tangmen and hidden weapons, it is even more famous all over the world, which makes people turn pale. When it comes to the use of poison in martial arts novels, sects often focus on the Five Poisons, but when it comes to families, they hardly think about it except the Tang Clan! And is Tangmen true or false? Did it really exist in history like Shaolin and Wudang? Otherwise, why are many writers of martial arts novels better than "Tangmen in Sichuan" and determined? Perhaps, we can try to find some possible answers from the ancient books and periodicals in the past.
According to Wan Laisheng's "Introduction to Divine Power" in "Huizong of Wushu", "There is another person who exercises" Five Poisons and Divine Sand ".Iron sand has been refined with five poisons, and it can be achieved in three years. When it hits the human body, it is poisoned by it, and the whole body is numb, unable to move, hanging on the skin, and there is no medicine to cure it. Such as Sichuan Tang sister-in-law is! This book was written in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926). According to the judgment of Mr. Ye Hongsheng, a famous martial arts critic, if it is not fabricated, the "Sichuan Tang Sister-in-law" at least existed in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. So "Tangmen, Sichuan" used the name of poison, and < P > it was well known all over the world. The first person whose purpose was used in martial arts novels was Bai Yu, one of the "five masters of the North School" in the early years of the Republic of China, who was famous for his social satirical martial arts works such as Twelve Money Darts and Stealing Fists. Bai Yu wrote martial arts novels, referring to a lot of the contents of the book "martial arts Huizong", and also quoted and expanded it, turning Mrs. Tang into the whole Tang family, making Tang family shine brilliantly in future martial arts novels. Even though there is no record about Tangmen in China's martial arts history books, in the martial arts novels, many authors compete to quote and make conventions, which makes Tangmen have an indelible place in the novel world. This is the origin of Tangmen.
(Note: Actually, the word "Wulin" was also coined by Bai Yu. In the past, there were only "Jianghu" and "Greenwood". Since Bai Yu created this term, it has been agreed to become a custom and has been used ever since. )
Tangmen is a well-known hidden weapons family in Wulin, with hidden weapons and Poison in a corner of Shu, and they have been wandering the Jianghu for hundreds of years. Tangmen people are good at designing, inventing and using all kinds of hidden weapons, and are good at poisoning. The ancestor of the Tang Clan had the Poison Classic handed down from generation to generation, and his legacy was "Commanding all kinds of poisons to save the people". It is stipulated that the head of the Tang Clan must be a direct descendant of surnamed tang, and the four treasures of the Tang Clan, namely, sutra, robe, bead and staff, should be kept by the head, so as not to harm the Wulin and damage the reputation of the Tang Clan.
Tangmen lived in Tangjiabao, which was built in the foothills of Chongqing, Sichuan. In addition to the head of the household, there are ten departments, each of which is responsible for the formulation and refining of poison, the design and manufacture of hidden weapons, the production and storage of antidote, and the tasks of guard protection, training children, assigning tasks, patrolling and attacking. Most of these ten elders are in charge of the Tang clan.
The martial arts handed down by the Tang family are the seven evil spirits' life-saving whipping, which is of average power, but hidden weapons and Poison are unique. It is said that there are seven kinds of hidden weapons in the Tang Clan. Poisonous needles, poisonous tribulus and soul-breaking sand are often found in Jianghu, all of which are quenched with great poison, which cannot be solved without the unique antidote of Tang Clan. Tang Jia used hidden weapons's highest super technique to call it "the sky is full of flowers and rain". When he reached the peak, he could hit 64 pieces of hidden weapons with one hand at the same time, hitting 64 parts of the human body respectively, which was impossible to prevent. In order to completely eliminate the influence of the Great Wind Hall, the Tang family wooed the firearms family Thunderbolt Hall with a lot of beautiful women, and developed a new type of hidden weapons combining the gunpowder of Thunderbolt Hall with Tang hidden weapons, which can not only kill people, but also burst and hurt people in the air. This kind of hidden weapons is named "Scattered Flowers".
The characters and deeds of the Tang Clan are widely seen in many new martial arts novels, and the characters and qualities of the Tang Clans are different.
