"Boxing Sutra" says: "There is no time for fists to come out, and no time for hands to return." Regarding this sentence, Xu Yuhuan gave the most appropriate explanation with a move of "turning the hand and pushing the boat".
"Spin Hand Pushing the Boat" is a move in the "Malaysian Five-Shaped Pile Fist", which is a move in which you face a frontal attack, use your spin hands to avoid it, and then attack with your backhand. From this move, the essence of the Malaysian five-shaped pile "defence is used as offense" can be seen.
"Da Ma Five-Shaped Pile Boxing" began during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a type of southern Shaolin boxing with a history of more than 100 years. It evolved into punching moves based on the prototypes of five animals: dragon, tiger, monkey, turtle and crane. Xu Yuhuan, 59 years old, is a native of Pochen Village, Shatian Village Committee, Xinxing Town, Tunchang County, and is the sixth generation inheritor of Pochen Dama five-shaped piles.
Recently, the Hainan Provincial People's Government announced the sixth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage representative projects, among which the Pochen Dama five-shaped piles were included. A set of boxing techniques has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are many thrilling "martial arts" stories during this period. Xu Yuhuan starts from the first generation master Xu Lehua.

5 fingerprints display the martial arts style of the first generation master
Martial arts, showing the style of the strong, Xu Lehua can stand in Po Chen Village, is Because of the five fingerprints on the trunk of the big banyan tree...
During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, a branch of the Xu family moved to the Pochen Village in Tunchang County to settle down. However, due to the sparse population, they were often bullied by people from other villages. The villagers spontaneously organized and practiced some martial arts for self-defense. At this time, Xu Lehua came to Tunchang Pochen Village from Wenchang and saw the villagers practicing martial arts.
Having practiced martial arts for many years, he practiced a set of boxing techniques on the spot for the purpose of competition. The combination of crane claw, dragon fist, tiger capture, glans retraction, and dog rushing fist, a hearty boxing technique, aroused the admiration of Pochen villagers Xu Baoshi and Xu Songshi. Later, he was hired by the two brothers as the resident boxer and began to set up a gym in Pochen Village to teach apprentices. The whole village worshiped him as their teacher.
Seeing that the martial arts gym was doing well, a master in the village forcibly drove him away and occupied the martial arts gym. Xu Lehua, who had not yet established a foothold, had no choice but to leave Pochen Village.
As a martial artist, Xu Lehua held his breath and went to the Southern Shaolin Temple in Fujian alone to practice martial arts for three years. After completing his studies, he returned to Pochen Village again and saw that the martial arts school was no longer there. After asking around, Xu Lehua learned that the old master who drove him away had passed away.
"In a fit of anger, Xu Lehua stood up and thrust his fingers into a banyan tree next to him. After the big tree moved, people saw five deep fingerprints left on the trunk of the banyan tree." Xu Yuhuan said that the villagers rushed to each other. Report, a martial arts expert came to the village. After the then village chief of Pochen Village heard about it, he specially invited Xu Lehua to stay and teach the villagers martial arts in the village martial arts hall.
Xu Yuhuan, the sixth generation inheritor of the Malaysian Five-shaped Pillar in Po Chen
Warriors have inherited the fusion and evolution of martial arts from generation to generation, and have become their own family
"Selecting ability or not choosing relatives has always been the standard for selecting inheritors of the Malaysian Five-shaped Pillar." Xu Yuhuan introduced that the villagers Study with the master together, and whoever learns martial arts best will be the successor to the next generation. At the same time, the five-shaped piles in Malaysia respect martial arts and virtues, and the inheritors must also have high martial ethics.
Just like this, in the next hundred years, the Malaysian five-shaped pile has passed through the second, third, fourth and fifth generations of inheritors: the second generation inheritor Xu Songshi respected his master as his father, farmed during the day and practiced hard at night. The five-shaped piles in Malaysia have gradually improved; the third generation inheritor Xu Chaomin can lift a stone lock weighing 200 kilograms, creating the heyday of the five-shaped piles in Malaysia; the fourth generation inheritor Xu Tianyi integrated the strengths of various families and participated in Guangdong at the age of 50 Won second place in the provincial martial arts competition; Xu Huanshang, the fifth generation inheritor, has hundreds of disciples. At the age of 76, he won the first place in the boxing category of the elderly group of the first Hainan Province Wushu Championship...
At the same time, in the inheritance of martial arts from generation to generation, Malaysia's five-shaped piles have also been continuously developed and improved, and today they are based on Hua Tuo's Wuqinxi, five-shaped plum blossom piles, Wudang's five-shaped heavy hand skills, Fujian's southern Shaolin pile skills, and the grappling fighting skills of the local garrison in the cold weapon era. , fusion and evolution, a kind of rural boxing of its own.
The time has come for the sixth generation inheritor, Xu Yuhuan, who started learning martial arts at the age of 7. He said: "The 'big horse' in the Malaysian five-shaped post is the Zhama step. The five-shaped post attaches great importance to the stability of the lower body, so learners all learn from Zhama. Start practicing the horse step. Twice in the morning and evening, no matter the weather. Practice until you feel relaxed, then it’s done.”
has become proficient in the moves since then. A set of moves is not difficult, and it can be done in half a week. However, the difficult part is how to apply these tricks skillfully and win unexpectedly. As he talks, Xu Yuhuan steps up his horse, gathers Qi in the Dantian, and the black dragon enters the sea, the tiger emerges from the mountain, the dry turtle shrinks its head, and the dry crane returns to its nest... all in one go.
Suddenly, each move was accompanied by the sound of "hey, ha, ya", which resounded throughout Pochen Village. After closing his fist, Xu Yuhuan said: "This set of boxing requires vocal strength, and the sound of each move is also different. , if you don’t scream, you won’t be able to exert that much strength."
Xu Yuhuan, the sixth generation inheritor of the Pochen Dama five-shaped stakes
"Fighted" all the way through the provincial and national competitions. The popularity of martial arts spreads across the country
The centenary of the Malaysian five-shaped stakes The road to inheritance has not been smooth sailing for Xu Yuhuan's generation. In the 1980s, young people in Pochen Village rushed to go out to work, and no one had the time and energy to practice martial arts. This situation lasted until the 2013 Hainan International Tourism Island Martial Arts Competition.
After receiving the notice of the competition, Lu Changchun, president of the Tunchang County Martial Arts Association, his first reaction was to "notify the people of Pochen Village." It turned out that Lu Changchun had practiced martial arts in Pochen Village when he was young, and he had always been grateful for the generous teachings of Xu Tianyi, the fourth generation successor. One of his phone calls caused the villagers of Pochen Village, young and old, to rally in an instant, and the sound of martial arts practice that had been silent for more than 20 years began to sound again.
On that occasion, Xu Yuhuan led several villagers to perform martial arts demonstrations at the opening and closing ceremonies of the competition, bringing the Malaysian five-shaped stakes to the provincial level. In November of the same year, the first Hainan Wushu Championship was held in Danzhou, and Po Chen Dama's five-shaped pile won the collective first prize in one fell swoop.
In August 2014, Xu Yuhuan and six other villagers from the same village went to Tianjin to participate in the first National Wushu Sports Conference. This conference left a deep impression on him: "We are a supplementary team. Once the six people came on the stage, they did not attract attention. After a boxing fight, the scene immediately burst into warm applause."
It was this competition that made Hainan The martial arts of a small village has entered the national "stage". On August 31, 2016, the Martial Arts Center of the State Sports General Administration awarded Tunchang County the honorary title of "National Martial Arts Hometown". The five-shaped stakes in Pochen Village played a major role. without.
"Advocate martial arts and virtue, respect teachers and filial piety. Defend the family and the country, be benevolent, righteous, and trustworthy. Be diligent and thrifty in farming and study, be tolerant and good to your neighbors. Respect the world, cultivate yourself and bring peace to others." In the evening, villagers came spontaneously to the martial arts hall in Pochen Village. The 32-word martial arts training was recited in unison.
After more than a hundred years, Po Chen Village has always had good rural customs such as respecting morality, filial piety, and good neighborliness. Regardless of men, women, or children, the style of martial arts has been passed down from generation to generation. In addition to building a strong body, it also cultivates morality, respects teachers, and is filial to relatives. It has also become a common thread among the villagers.
Today, Xu Yuhuan's son has taken on the important task of teaching martial arts and has become the seventh generation inheritor of the five-shaped pile in Malaysia. He said: "To practice martial arts, you must first cultivate morality. As an inheritor, I should not only inherit the moves of martial arts, but also inherit them. Only in this way can the martial arts spirit of our ancestors continue to flourish in Malaysia."
