Puyuan Village Protecting Fish Boxing, northern Fujian
Puyuan Cun Hu Yu Wushu, Fish Protecting Martial Arts of Puyuan Village
Puyuan Village in Zhouning County, Ningde Prefecture, Fujian Province was founded in the year 1209 by Southern Song court official Zheng Shanggong.
Born in Kaifeng, Zheng moved his family south to Fujian to escape the turmoil in war torn northern China. They settled along what is now known as Carp Creek in Ningde in northern Fujian. 3 generations later they founded Puyuan village in an area where the flow of the river slowed and became wider.
Building a number of small dams they introduced carp into the river, It was said this was done to maintain and monitor the water quality.
By at least the Ming dynasty the carp had come to be regarded as sacred fish by the villagers. Eating carp even outside the village is considered taboo by the villagers. Carp that die in the river are ceremonially buried in a large centuries old fish grave within the village.
Anyone who kills a fish in the village is forced to either leave the village or to hire priests to bury the remains and perform rites for the fish as well as hosting the families of the village for a several day ritual feast in honor of the fish.
There are also a large number of legends revolving around the fish linking them to gods, immortals, and the ancestors.
The large numbers of healthy carp present a major temptation for people from outside of the village. As such the natives of Puyuan Village are sworn to defend their fish from people who try to catch them.
The people within the village practice a form of martial arts known as Hu Yu Quan Protecting Fish Boxing.

Rujia Quan Rooster method
Master Pan Liteng demonstrating Ru Jia Quan's Ji Fa Rooster Methods.
Ru Jia Quan
Confucian Family Boxing
Ru Jia Quan is a rare system practiced in the Fuzhou city area.
The style it's self is divided into four sections consisting of Ru Fa Confcuian Scholar's Methods, Ji Fa Rooster Methods, Gou Fa Dog Methods, and Yu Fa Fish Methods
The known history of the style traces back to the qing/ Republican transition period when army cook Chen Peiguan was stationed with division in the Guan Di Shrine in Quanzhou.
While there he would practice boxing in the Shrine hall when ever no one was around.
The shrine's Miaozhu (ritual functionary in charge of incense and other duties) happened to see him there often at practice.
Seeing Chen's enthusiasm, effort, and good foundation he decided to pass on the secret boxing methods that had been practiced at the shrine.
This system was called Ru Jia Quan Scholar's Boxing and consisted of 4 distinct methods of boxing each with their own forms, special skills and training regimen. These were Gou Fa Dog Methods, Ji Fa Rooster Methods, Yu Fa Fish Methods and Ru Fa Scholar's Methods.
Chen stayed at the shrine and mastered each of these methods before retiring from the army and returning to his native home in Fuzhou.
There he settled in the Old Drumtower District of Fuzhou city and met a young man named He Guohua who was already an extremely skilled boxer and master of another secretly passed system known to only a small group of workers at the local Qing Xiang Incense factory and shop.
This style of Luohan Boxing was for this reason known as Xiangdian Quan and the time of his meeting this young man roughly corresponds to the period in which it first began to be taught openly.
He Guohua would go on to become a famous boxer in Fuzhou locally known as Fei Lai Shi Flying Master and would teach the Incense Shop Boxing style to many students.
He would occasionally show or impart some Rujia Quan skills and his methods of Boxing came to be known as Xiang Dian Men with the various Rujia methods called as Xiang Dian Ji Fa, Xiangdian Gou Fa, etc.
However with exception of occasionally teaching a Xiangdian student some basic skills or a set of Ru Jia Quan movements as part of their Xiandian training, he only passed the complete independent Ru Jia Quan style onto one student.
This student was master Tu Jiqing who also came to be known as one of Fuzhou's great boxers and taught the Xiangdian style to many students. But like his teacher's before him he only passed on the style to a single inheritor, master Pan Liteng.
Both Xiangdian Quan and Rujia Quan are now listed as intangible cultural heritage of Fuzhou city.
Today master Pan Liteng has begun to openly accept students in both the Xiangdian and Rujia Quan systems and is currently teaching Rujia Quan to a group of local youngsters who he has officially accepted as disciples in the Rujia Quan style.
He holds his classes in Rujia Quan on the grounds of the Fuzhou's ancient Wen Miao (Confucian Temple) located in the Old Drumtower District.
The oral mythology of this style traces its origins back to the Ming dynasty when a group of four scholars from Fujian and Guangdong traveled together to take the Imperial Exams.
After arriving at the capitol all four of them failed the examinations in the first round.
Having become close while traveling together the four of them decided that, while they were obviously not destined to become high ranking officials, they would travel the country and learn together.
While touring the country they visited many of the famed ancient temples. While touring one of these temples they found that the monks there were inheritors of the 7 methods of divine boxing passed down by the 8 women who had studied under the immortal goddess Li Shan Lao Mu* Ancient Mother of Mt. Li.
The 7 methods consisted of of Scholar, Crane, Fish, Chicken, Monkey, Dog and Ox.
Taking inspiration from Confucius's teachings that both scholarly and martial knowledge were needed by a learned man, they decided to try their hands at martial arts.
Each of them mastered one of the methods (Dog, Rooster, Fish, and Scholar) at the monastery and later they combined their knowledge, founding the modern Rujia style.

SUMMARY
=======
Shanxi (山西; alternately romanised as Shansi) is a landlocked province of the People's Republic of China, located in the North China region. The capital and largest city of the province is Taiyuan, while its next most populated prefecture-level cities are Changzhi and Datong. Its one-character abbreviation is 晋 (pinyin: Jìn), after the state of Jin that existed here during the Spring and Autumn period.
The name Shanxi means West of the Mountains, a reference to the province's location west of the Taihang Mountains.. Shanxi borders Hebei to the east, Henan to the south, Shaanxi to the west, and Inner Mongolia to the north. Shanxi's terrain is characterised by a plateau bounded partly by mountain ranges. Shanxi's culture is largely dominated by the ethnic Han majority, who make up over 99% of its population. Jin Chinese is considered by some linguists to be a distinct language from Mandarin, and its geographical range covers most of Shanxi. Both Jin and Mandarin are spoken in Shanxi.
Shanxi is a leading producer of coal in China, possessing roughly a fifth of China's total coal deposits. Nevertheless, Shanxi's GDP per capita remains below the national average.

SUMMARY
=======
Deng Xiaoping (UK: ; US: ; 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997), courtesy name Xixian, was a Chinese politician. He was the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 until his retirement in 1989. After Chairman Mao Zedong's death in 1976, Deng led China through far-reaching market-economy reforms. While Deng never held office as the head of state, head of government or General Secretary (that is, the leader of the Communist Party), he nonetheless was responsible for economic reforms and an opening to the global economy. During his paramount leadership, his official state positions were Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from 1978–1983 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China from 1983–1990, while his official party positions were Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China from 1977–1982 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China from 1981–1989.
Born into a peasant background in Guang'an, Sichuan province, Deng studied and worked in France in the 1920s, where he became a follower of Marxism–Leninism. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1923. Upon his return to China he joined the party organization in Shanghai, then was a political commissar for the Red Army in rural regions and by the late 1930s was considered a revolutionary veteran because he participated in the Long March. Following the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, Deng worked in Tibet and the southwest region to consolidate Communist control.
As the party's Secretary General in the 1950s, Deng presided over anti-rightist campaigns and became instrumental in China's economic reconstruction following the Great Leap Forward of 1957–1960. However, his economic policies caused him to fall out of favor with Mao, and he was purged twice during the Cultural Revolution. Following Mao's death in 1976, Deng outmanoeuvred the late chairman's chosen successor Hua Guofeng in December 1978. Inheriting a country beset with social conflict, disenchantment with the Communist Party and institutional disorder resulting from the chaotic policies of the Mao era, Deng became the paramount figure of the second generation of party leadership. Some called him the architect of a new brand of thinking that combined socialist ideology with pragmatic market economy whose slogan was socialism with Chinese characteristics. Deng opened China to foreign investment and the global market, policies that are credited with developing China into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world for several generations and raising the standard of living of hundreds of millions. Deng was also criticized for ordering the crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but praised for his reaffirmation of the reform program in his Southern Tour of 1992 and the reversion of Hong Kong to Chinese control in 1997. He was the Time Person of the Year in 1978 and 1985, the second Chinese leader (after Chiang Kai-shek) and the sixth communist leader (after Joseph Stalin, picked twice, and Nikita Khrushchev, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh) to be selected. He died in February 1997, aged 92.
