《金縷衣》

勸君莫惜金縷衣，勸君惜取少年時；花開堪折直須折，莫待無花空折枝。《唐朝杜秋娘》 This week's poem from my grandfather is a Tang Poem - The Clothes of a Golden Cloth. It is quite well known and is sometimes still taught in schools. Roughly translated it urges us not to be too caught up in chasing after ephemeral enjoyments (such as beautiful clothes) and for us to make the most of our youth. For a flower should be plucked when it is in full bloom, for when if you wait if then only the stem will remain. Although the message is straightforward, what for me is more interesting is the the story behind the author - Du Qiu Niang - or Autumn Maiden Du. She was born in Zhenjiang 鎮江 in modern day Jiangsu Province to a poor family, but was very beautiful and was able to sing and dance, and was educated enough to compose her own songs and lyrics. As a courtesan she was famous throughout Jiangnan. When she was 15, she caught the attention of the 鎮海節度使 (a very senior military governor who controlled the military and financ

Notes from Ballet

Those who have followed my blog for a long time are probably highly aware that I also am a big fan of dance and movement arts. Even though some of the underlying principles are very different from martial arts, there is a lot to be learned from dance than can inform us on the potentials of the human body. Here are some interesting things that I came across in some of my readings. Physique : First there is a definite physique that ballet shapes, and there have been many, many exercise videos that try and market these methods to the masses. To my knowledge, ballet targets smaller muscles that you don't often use—instead of working your quads it works the inside and the back of your leg. It also raises your center of gravity—when you're standing in first position, you're pulling up through your stomach and opening your shoulders so that you're working your back and upper body. The inner thighs are engaging and you're squeezing your butt to make sure you're perfectl

The Grandmaster - 一代宗師

I have been putting off writing a review for the Grandmaster as I know it probably has not been released worldwide, and some of the people who read my blog regularly will not have seen it as yet. I watched it on the second day of release (10/1) with my Sifu... however in the last week, I came across an excellent essay in the Ming Pao Weekly as part of an ongoing series on Hong Kong Martial History that I thought was worth translating in its entirety. The piece is by Zhao Shi Qing 趙式慶 - who is quite active in promoting a revival of traditional styles in Hong Kong and one of the fouders of The Journal of Martial Studies - and deals with the real and the imagined in the Grandmaster and touches on many themes pertinent to my blog - warning there are some spoilers in the Essay. With regards to "The Grandmaster" directed by Wong Kar Wai and starring Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi, many people had thought that it would be centered upon Yip Man's life. After entering the cinema,
