Chapter 331 The Value of Ancient Martial Arts Champions

[I know Wu Zhuangyuan is very powerful]

[But no one told me they were so strong]

[How powerful is the martial arts champion? 】

[In ancient times, the top martial arts champion was basically the ceiling of combat power]

[Today's champion athletes still lose]

[The champion has never lost once]

【Zhang Sanjia, the last martial arts champion in China】

[Born into a martial arts family, when he participated in the martial arts examination, Huo Yuanjia admitted defeat on the spot after only two moves from him]

[Gong Baotian, the last imperial master of the Qing Dynasty, dodged two bullets from Zhang Zuolin alone, but he was only a military scholar]

[If you think that the champion of martial arts is just strong in limbs, you are totally wrong]

【Zheng Guan】

[He is a genius in China who won both the first place in literature and the first place in martial arts]

[The only double champion in Chinese history]

[You play with him]

[He is a small town student who is gifted and works hard to learn.]

[You are playing with him]

[He doesn’t just know a little bit about fighting, he knows a lot about fighting]

[Zheng Guan: If you don’t understand the Four Books and Five Classics, I know a little bit about boxing.]

[I can't afford to offend you at all]

"I heard from my grandfather that there was a legendary person in their place who could really fly over eaves and walls. He was always wanted and many people couldn't catch him."

"Just kidding, in ancient times, all civil officials had to learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and they all had to be proficient in both civil and military arts. If it was easy to pass the exam for the top military scholar, then all officials in the court would have been able to pass it [smile]"

"[Look] My ancestors were military commanders. One year I took a picture of the tombstone, and a friend told me that it was equivalent to the current city armed forces chief [tears burst into tears], and then he said that I, a girl, was so violent, it turned out to be genetic."

"In my family's old ancestral hall, there is a martial arts champion ancestor. I heard that he would eat six steamed buns in one meal. Later, the steamed bun was called the champion steamed bun. I bought one and ate it for two days [smile]"

"In Chinese history, it is very rare to be the top scholar in both civil and military subjects. According to historical records, there was only one top scholar in both civil and military subjects, and he was Zheng Guan in the Tang Dynasty.

**Zheng Guan**:

- **Literary champion**: In the third year of Emperor Muzong of Tang's Changqing reign (823), Zheng Guan won the first place in the Jinshi examination with the topic of "Ligui Fu".

- **Wu Zhuangyuan**: In the second year of Taihe reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang (828), Zheng Guan won the Wu Zhuangyuan in the military examination.

- **Achievement**: Zheng Guan thus became the only champion in both civil and military subjects in Chinese history.

There are very limited records of Zheng Guan's life. Apart from knowing that he won the honor of being the top scholar in both civil and military examinations, his pseudonym, place of origin, year of birth and death, and other detailed information are unknown. He once served as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, but there are no more records of his deeds and final whereabouts in historical materials, so his life remains largely a mystery. Despite this, Zheng Guan's achievements still have a special place in the history of the Chinese imperial examination. "

“My mother’s ancestor was a martial arts champion [smile][smile][smile]. Among his descendants, my mother’s grandfather could turn an eight-immortal table (made of solid wood) with one finger. Because each generation is inferior to the previous one, this one is the strongest one my mother knows.”

"My best friend is a descendant of a martial arts candidate. She is tall, with big hands and feet, unusually broad shoulders, unusually long arms, and full of energy, enthusiasm and cheerfulness. The genes of martial arts candidates are so strong, what does the top martial arts candidate look like?"

"What's even more terrifying is that they achieved such achievements when they were only in their teens [laughing and crying][laughing and crying][laughing and crying]"

“So don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients [cry and cry][cry and cry][cry and cry] I thought about traveling through time when I read novels before, but later I found that it was the harmonious society that saved me.”

"Don't even mention the ancients. As far as the writing of the time is concerned, I think people who have enjoyed the convenience of modern life would become depressed after a few days of living in such difficult conditions in that era."

Zheng Guan, who won the first place in both civil and military examinations, waved his hands modestly to the people around him and said: Oh, no, no, the description of Tianmu is not so exaggerated, people in later generations are just bragging too much about me!

Since ancient times, there have always been people better than you. After so many years, I believe that there will always be people in the future who are better than me, but they just haven't shown it like I have.

Although he said that, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Sanjia, who won the title of martial arts champion, was not happy at all: It turned out that I was the last martial arts champion in the Qing Dynasty, and there will no longer be such a title from now on.

Why does it become like this?

Is there anything I can do for this country I love? Even a little bit.
