Boat Boxing

Zhao Qian Zhang Zhiping

The place where Suzhou High School-SIP is

located used to be a waterside village. In 2005,

a new school rose among this piece of beautiful

wetland. Until now the school boasts a piece of

10,000 m2-sized wetland to its southwest part,

whose diversity and vitality is continuously

offering us inspiration and wisdom. With

the aim of The Integration of Western and

Eastern Cultu res, of Traditional Culture and

Contemporary Culture, we initiated our study

on wetland culture. While many scholars often

describe the south-Yangtze River culture, which

is coined as Wu culture, as featuring water,

shery, rice planting, silkworm and boat, we see

water as the fountain and soul of those cultures.

Zhang Zhiping, one of our school PE teachers, is

also a senior practitioner of martial arts. During

his lifelong time, hes made a lot of friends in

martial arts society. The Yue Boxing introduced

in this book was taught to Mr. Zhang by a boxer

in Hu Zhou, Zhejiang province back to 1970s. In

this pamphlet each of the moves in Yue Boxing

is named and described in detail.

Zhao Qian, another PE teacher at our school, is

also the co-author of this textbook. She practiced

martial arts since her childhood and is also a

qualified competitor in the city and provincial

martial art competitions.

This school-based curriculum characterized as

wetland culture and Yue Boxing, is expected

to contribute to promoting our traditional culture.

Brief Introduction of Boat Boxing

The southern reach of Yangtze River has long

been a habitation with r ich natural resources and

soothing climate. Archeologists found out that

from as early as 10,000 years ago our ancestors

have been the residents here. They were called

Wu people. They created the most advanced

culture of their world. They worshipped technique

delicacy, witchcraft and fight against nature.

Suzhou was then the center of their culture.

These ancestors were the kings of the waters.

They fed on fish and lived with boats. From the

excavations in Hemudu Siteone of the earliest

cultures to cultivate rice, we can see that by the

time of 3000 B.C. , Wu people had acquired the

techniques of ship building. During the feudal

revolution period of China (770 B.C.-256 B.C.),

Wu people were able to build warships. All

through history, boats have been the lifeline

and feet of Wu people. Zheng He, the greatest

navigator in Chinas feudal ages, practiced his

seamen here in Suzhou. A great general in Song

dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.) named Yue Fei, taught

his soldiers boat boxing to sharpen their strength.

In addition, in the water transport of ancient

China, we also had a group of armed people. They

also practiced boat boxing when on boats.

Boat boxing was not only used as defensive skills,

but also was perfo rmed at trad itional festiv als

and certain moves cooperated in Chinese Folk

operas. There are many water performances and

celebrations for folks in Suzhou to enjoy. One

of them is called Nao Qingming (in English it

means having some fun in early spring). It started

in Ming dynasty (1368-1644, A.D.) and was

performed for the harvest. A shack is built up with

pine trees on the boats. The number of boats can

reach over ten. There will be a silk woman beating

the gong and sounding the drums. When the boats

reach the center area of the town, the silk woman

would post different gestures to forecast theharvest for silk or the opposite. There is another

sherman doing the same on crops.

Water performances also i nclude speed boat,

parading boat and racing boat. Speed

boat refers t o those boats that have young men

perfor ming mart ial arts or acrobati cs on t hem.

They often proceed fast in the water. Parading

boat is big boat with color ful decor ation s. It

moves forward slowly to let the people enjoy the

artistic performance like musical instrument

performance and opera singing.

Boxing boat is similar to speed boat. On the

rst of July and 15thof August in lunar calendar,

Shihu, Bacheng in Kunshan and Beiqiao in

Xiangcheng, all regional areas of Suzhou, would

hold boxing boat contest. The racing boat can be

scored. The berths of the boat are decorated with

colored ribbons. At both ends of the boat there are

people pu nting the b oat. In m iddle on the d eck,

boxers perform sword, halberd, chained stone and

steel forks against beating gongs and sounding

drums. After the contest, local celebrities will

give certain awards according to the performance

of each boat.

The fifth edition of Marti al Magazi ne in 1982

published an article with the title Fun in Boxing

Boat Competition. This article pointed out that

during the celebration of 10th anniversary of our

nation, forks in southern reach of Yangtze river

relived this boxing boat activity again upon the

advocation of the government for national arts.

Unfortunately, boxing boat has remained out of

sight since then.

April 19th

, 2007, on the opening ceremony of the

10th

Suzhou International Tourism Festival, a

magnificent on-water performance Glamour of

Water was displayed alongside Xu River in an

ancient town of Suzhouthe city of Xu. One of

our school teachers Zhang Zhiping, took part in

the group performance of boat boxing . In October

of 2012, a program in CCTV International

Channel called Going throughout China

produced a se rial feature about the b oat box ing

in Zhujiajiao, a small town in Shanghai Qingpu

district. In addition to those efforts, we also have

been info rmed that the muni cipal gover nmen t

of Suzhou is working on the application for

a position in the Worlds Intangible Cultural

Heritages list for boat boxing.

Historyand

rtoftheYues

1.History

A great general in Chinas Song dynasty (1127-

1279, A.D.) named Yue Fei and his invulnerable

armies were deeply involved in the history of the

boxing practic ed by t he Yues . Yue Fei hims elf

recorded the actions, principles, guidelines, spells,

lyric songs of Yue Boxing. Later his two sons

Yue Zhen and Yue Ting composed his records

into Boo k of Wumu , which was kept secretly

somewhere. People in the following generations

treated this book as a treasure and it was pursued

nonstop. This book also has inspired the greatest

martial arts novelist Jin Yong for his book The

Legend of the Condor Heroes.

The boxing practiced by the Yues not only can

be appl ied to war fig hts, but als o be use d to

keep fit. Yue boxing also found its way onto the

temple fairs as part of the folk culture. During

the Cultural Revolution, those senior boxing

practitioner were wronged and persecuted. After

the turmoil boxing practice was accepted by the

public. It w as duri ng this time perio d t hat Mr.

Zhang learned Yue boxing from a Zhejing boxing

practitioner named Xiao Sheng. Z hang, out of his

admiration towards General Yue Fei, practiced

the boxing privately and kept it to himself until in

1980 when Emei Film Studio came to Suzhou to

shootEver-lasing. There was a scene in which the

protesting m ilitias made up by farmers practiced

boxing in the open air. The problem was that each

of the actors only got 1 m2 to stretch their body,

which was too small. Zhang helped the director

out of the trouble by showing him Yue boxing.

Now in this lm you can see those actors playing

Yue boxing in this scene.

After Zhang started teaching PE in Suzhou

High School he often practiced Yue Boxing

for his students when there was limited space

to move around in the classroom. Later he was

transferred to Suzhou High SchoolSIP. Our

school developed a serial school-based curriculum

with a wetland culture reservation orientation.

And Zhang made contributions by sharing with

us his Yue Boxing. Now Yue Boxing has been

incorporated into our PE textbook and practiced

by our students.

Starting from 2011, Zhang Zhiping and Zhao Qian

took advantage of the time period of morning

exercise to practice Yue Boxing. Our efforts were

appreciated by the Martial Arts Society of Suzhou

and it made us Promotion Base for Boat Boxing.

During our visit to Chung Cheng High (Main)in Singapore in April of 2012, our students and

teachers played Yue Boxing and got enthusiastic

feedbacks. In June, our school held a contest

of Yue Boxing among the second-year junior

students. And the final winners50 students in

Class 2 and Class 5 competed in the municipal

sports contest in celebration of the Mid-autumn

Festival and the National Day. They won the top

two prizes.

2.Characteristics

Boat Boxing literally refers to the boxing or

instruments performed on boat.

When martial arts are performed on boat, every

move will have to offset the shaking of the boat.

As a result Yue Boxing practitioners need to have

a strong grasp of their gravity core, and at thesame time, they need to be agile and light-footed.

This kind of Kung Fu attacks with the cover of

defense. The hands hinge on the body while the

feet barely launch an attack.

The Kung Fu of the Yues differs from the Kung

Fu in South China, which features over-reliance

on arms. Neither is it like the Kung Fu in North

China, which features over-reliance on legs.

Yue Boxing attaches great importance to the

coordinated move of both arms and legs. In a

word, its the simultaneous movement of hands,

feet, elbows and body.
