Hossu: Wudang Taoist priest's magical weapon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2019
- Hossu is a tool that has a wooden handle and long animal hair or linen at the tip. It originated in the Qin and Han dynasties in ancient China and was first used to sweep away dust or drive away mosquitoes and flies. However, the Hossu has gradually evolved into a weapon. #ChinaKungfu

This one is so enlightening. " Desires are not scary, only inability to remove them is scary". So good.
The description of the people in the mountains as immortals is beautiful - they live a peaceful life, one that may know temptation and distraction, but one that does not concern itself with the tediousness of society and the structure that is normally forced upon life. They might as well live forever.
yes, also because the character for immortal or hermit in Chinese - 仙 - is composed by 人 - person and 山 - mountain
the kid playing the guqin is awesome :)
Oh I saw him I was like no way he playing that good :D lol also looks like he can do a brain blast ^_^ that's a complement ;)
Bunch of people claimed that it is useless, that it won’t beat anything. You guys miss a lot in this video. What those Daoists practice is not just a physical skill to fight, to beat anybody. In fact, what they try to achieve is to purify their soul and eventually ascend from physical being. A real martial art master in China has very strong ethical codes which forbid them to fight for money, to initiate a fight, to bully normal people without martial art skills. In a lot of cases, even they were provoked, if they can still avoid the conflicts, they will try not to fight. Because once they start fighting, it might cause serious injuries to others or even kill their opponents, which is bad to their mental peace, bad to their soul. So all those ignorant people who try to judge those masters by if they can fight in MMA, forget it, there is nothing in MMA that could attract a real martial art master.
Yes! We fight whatever inside us keeps us from liberation, from union with the Tao. It is also important to not speak too much about it, words cannot capture it. Some masters would say that to fight at all is to lose, others should sense your energy and know they will be defeated. One great master of Tai Chi I knew of could have a bird land in his palm, but prevent it from taking off because he would yield to its energy when it tried to push....Someone of this level of skill could hear his opponent's intention from 10 feet away, before they moved. That is what we are working on. The self-defense part of real Kung Fu is only a small part of a much larger system.
Chinese culture. Priceless beauty.
Fully agreed
I always thought the forms which used the Hossu were beautiful. This video reminded me of the calm piece of mind I get when I clean; and the joy I feel at the transformation of space after I am finished cleaning. Thanks for sharing
I recognize that song anywhere, that is Zhuge Liang's song. ☯️✨
Beautiful Taoist Wisdom...
To live in those mountens seems very peaceful.I would love to live atleast a month in a place like that just to relax and clear my mind,great video.
Wise words from a wise man 😍
Love your stuff kick on love it
Kung fu: if we can use a rice shredder as a weapon, why not a duster? XD
thank you very much ! Amazing video. Excelente video, muchas gracias !!
beautiful
Awesome
很感恩
Cool but I would much rather a Sword
It's full of peace
I give that weapon the Bonus Award for Excellence. It can be used for distraction while attacking someone. In Silat and Escrima we have the saying that the body is just as dangerous as the weapon!
With swords and many other weapons, we don't separate attack and defense. There are so many dimensions to fighting it is difficult to explain. I have been practicing mostly Taiji and Bagua for the last 15 years.

as one ages and drops deeper in tao=this is glow n go n flow in slow

Oh the background music is from the 1994 romance of three kingdoms drama about Zhuge Liang
請問師傅你造的琴出讓嗎？
I can do the same with my belt,my pants, a wet t-shirt.
What is the title of the backround song?
Its from 1994 drama ua-cam.com/video/Up8SDkMY3zM/v-deo.html
More than magic. Truth of energies flow. This location is a Holy/Sacred location in space and time. Who need a horse when the winds are already with you.
💜❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Would the weapon now be used as a whip?
yes in some ways... even a pole can be used like a whip if executed correctly
Ima try this in ww3
Chinese culture is nice to follow only that the young boys of businessmen and restauranter tend to become arrogant and unbearable.....🤫🤫🇨🇳🇬🇾
Taoism isn't the cause. I blame a mistaken understanding of Confucianism by common people. In Confucianism you should value your own parents more than the parents of other people, but most Chinese take it to mean value no one. So, if you can cheat, then cheat. Confucius didn't teach such arrogant immorality. Mozi competed with Confucious and it would have been better if he'd beaten Confucious in popularity because he taught universal love. If you care for and protect other's parents, that will protect yours as well instead of no one cares about them except you.
Chinese guy: This is a brush. On a physical level, ancient energy and movement techniques can be applied to it, and it becomes a weapon of great beauty and majesty. On a higher level, it reminds us of the cleansing of the mind essential achieve tranquility and enlightenment.
Me: This is a brush
Must try harder.
it was a brush to deal with mosquito and the rest was just martial art , what do you want with that pathetic life ???
@@ZhangLee. Are you saying THEY have a pathetic life, or I have a pathetic life? Just to be clear.

I think this is called a fuchen. A hair whip only for ritual purposes is called a fuzi in chinese and hossu in japanese.
yes I know this as Ma Fuchen

It just a beautiful feather duster dance and nothing more. I mean how do you defend yourself with that when you are confronted by a serious weapon?
agile and mobile movements.... remember there is also round whip motion and stick portion....
Usually with a serious additude not spectators spirit.
I'll have you know that that "feather duster" has a proud purpose in traditional Chinese kung fu. It is to separate the grain from the chaff, the minnows from the sharks, the strong from the weak.
In other words, that "feather duster" was used to identify the dumber students less likely to survive combat.
Anyone stupid enough to choose that weapon to specialize in ... they're too dumb to live.
As such, the teacher would encourage them to continue their practice, while the rest of the students (and their community) would know not to waste time on said "feather duster" person.
Needless to say, most students who specialized in "feather duster" weaponry did not end up married or having children.
Who would want to marry someone who outed themselves as a likely recipient of the Darwin Awards?
King Schultz I have you know that all MMA fighters are able to punch and kick the daylight out of all self proclaimed invincible kungfu masters. That’s a irrefutable fact. It makes no mistake!

I am guessing that English is not your first language.
In which case, well done being able to read and write English at all. English is a very difficult language to learn, and frankly, I think you're doing great.
However, I do have to tell you that, sadly, I didn't understand what you were trying to communicate.
Also, for the record, my comment was written as satire. I think the "feather duster" weapon is absolutely and utterly stupid. As is anyone brain-damaged enough to practice it.
搞笑的吧 这个打架？
not a practical weapon that anyon has shown in real heavy sparing or mock combat. be nice to see it in real use but as far as i know nobody can do it. please show any one who can. i will even volunteer as the attacker as well. xie xie.
Thank you. Amitofu shifu. 🐲 🐨 😁 😎 🐯
Tao is different from Buddhist They don’t Amitofu

I was fascinated to see how this could be used as a "weapon", but they showed nothing to indicate that it can. It's basically Daoist ribbon dancing.
Pretty... But totally useless as a practical weapon. Who would be put off by an admittedly awesome feather duster.
I think this in fact mainly a feather duster and they developed martial forms for it simply to train and play with it because it is fun. Maybe it works against harmless opponents but I agree with you, I don't think it's a useful weapon for serious situations.
think what if it is made of metal
It has a wooden handle....
Could some animal fur hurt you if it was made from wool ?? Wool is heavy so
If they made the wool into small twine then weaved it together then attached it to the wooden handle it might hurt like a whip ?? Lol sorry your comment is from 10 months ago
@@jamjamb123 it's made of horsehair, not wool. That stuff is highly abrasive, and judging from how it's used (as a grabbing weapon to lock around the extremities), it might actually do something given the right opening.
