318 Don't ask the way forward
Follow the road "big week" to adjust the qi, and take the intention to lead the qi as the basic kung fu. "Yiling", in ancient times, was called "God turning", that is, "thinking and turning".
The ability to "think around" must be practiced continuously. To lead the spirit with the intention to be intentional and thoughtless, that is, not to care or to lead. The intention is to move, the intention is to follow, and the intention is to stop. The "being" and "nothingness" of intentional and thoughtless thoughts can be realized with "being without carelessness, and appearing intentionally without thinking".
Chaoyuan solution: Chaoyuan is the synthesis of the "qi law". Chaoyuan, that is, three flowers, five qi Chaoyuan. Sanhua refers to the three treasures of human essence, qi and spirit; The five qi are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The essence of Chaoyuan is to gather the three flowers and the five qi in Baihui, and combine them into one in the qi regulation. This is the basic kung fu that must be achieved in the cultivation of the "Qi Method".
The Three Flowers and the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan were practiced in the "Great Week" circulation. When circulating qi, Dan qi rises and falls, one out and one in, and there is no contradiction. If the body does not move, it will be refined and the kidney water qi will be upward; If the heart is not delusional, the spirit is solid and the heart is angry; If the true love is lonely, the soul is hidden and the liver is angry; If you forget your feelings, you will be lurking and your lungs will be golden.
The four major ans are meant to lock and the spleen is earthy. The three flowers and the five qi are all gathered in the top and sink in the field, and the week and the beginning are repeated, and the true element is intensively cultivated, and the strength is one. The key to this kung fu is that when following the qi, the essence should not be outward, the qi should not be dispersed, and the spirit should not overflow, which is the unity of the three treasures. The body does not move, the heart is not delusional, the true love is lonely, the delusion is forgetful, and the four major peace are the five qi combined.
All of these are to be able to do not hear outside the ears, not look out of the eyes, and not think outside the mind when following the qi, so as to achieve a natural state of the whole land. The three flowers and the five qi are combined in the qi regulation, and they are integrated in the combination, which can build the foundation of the Mahayana internal strength of qi storage, vitality and cultivation. The second part of the exercises is a three-body solution.
The three-body pose is a standing pile exercise, and it is also the door to learn Xingyi Boxing. Li Nengran, the master of Xingyi, said: "Ten thousand are born in the three-body pose, and all the hundred movements are based on this", "If you want to enter the wonderful use of the Xingyi, you must first go to the three-body pose". The three-body station is a pile, and the line is a fist, which is the mother of form and meaning. The three-body pose takes the image of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and the principle of the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
It is in line with the way of the ancients of "the unity of heaven and man". To practice the three-body pile gong, we must understand the principle of yin and yang of the three-body body. That is, "the yin is in the inner yang, and the yang is in the outer yin". This is the principle of the unity of yin and yang, the root of each other, and the interdependence. According to this principle, when standing on the pile, it is necessary to be in harmony with the inside and outside, up and down, and the whole body is in one breath. To practice three-body pile work, you must be quasi-three-body specifications.
Song's Xingyi Fist is the first to push the middle frame, which means to take the idea of the ancient people's moderation. The middle frame is the trend of the center, the two ribs are horizontally opened, the shoulders are heavy, the air runs up and down, the center of gravity is centered, the pressure is resistant, and it is not floating or dull. To practice the three-body pile technique, it is necessary to integrate the skills of the three-body pile method. The three-body exercise must be practiced every day, **** constantly, cold and heat are unhindered, and perseverance.
"It's better not to practice boxing for three years, than to go without a pile for a day." Only by persisting in practice can you accumulate the power of the pile method. Root solution: The root is the pile exercise, which is obtained by Mr. Song's practice of the "Four Classics of Internal Strength" to understand its ingenuity. The Packing Root Exercise is the secret practice of the Song Xingyi Fist. Disc one, spin also; The root, the base. Packing is the work of circling.
This exercise has no difficult movements, and is easy to learn and practice, it is the method of practicing internal strength, which can make the qi and blood flow smoothly, the lower plate is stable, step by step is a pile, flashing and moving, unpredictable. The method of packing the roots is to form a three-body posture with the hand, which is enough to rotate in a circle. First turn left a few times, then turn around and change the palm to the right hand for a few turns, this is the left and right style of any pulse.
Then turn around and change the palm to rotate left for a few circles, and then turn around and change the palm to the right, which is the left and right style of the pulse. In the rotation pulse, the lower jaw protrudes slightly forward. When left-handed, the left hand is bent at the elbow and pushed forward, and the right hand is bent under the left elbow, with the palm down. The left and right hands are swapped when the right hand is rotated; When rotating the pulse, the lower jaw should be slightly retracted inward, and when rotating left, the left hand should bend the elbow and the hand should be stretched upward.
Bend your right hand under your left elbow, palm up, and switch your left and right hands when you rotate to the right. The focus of the practice is to enhance the body's lower disk power. The main parts of the lower plate are the waist, hips, knees, legs, and feet. The ancients said: "The top and the bottom are the base". The lower plate is stable, the standing is like taking root, and the upper body is light when moving, which is an important factor in winning the battle.
The key to enhancing the power of the lower body in the circle is to cultivate the harmony of all parts of the lower body. The main point is that the waist is the main hip, the cross is the main knee, the knee is the main leg, and the leg is the main foot. When practicing, the waist should urge the hips, the hips should force the knees, the knees should promote the legs, and the legs should carry the feet. Urging, pressing, promoting, and carrying are all coordinated and smooth between the latter and the former. In the waist, hips, knees, legs, and feet, the waist is the first of them.
Waist work is the core of the stability of the next plate. Hexagram solution: Hexagram is a physical exercise, which is the key to the posture of the three-body standing pile and the root line pile exercise. Na is to exhale, exhale turbidity, and incorporate clear qi; Hexagram is the general name of the eight trigrams, namely Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. The essence of the hexagram is that all parts of the body should conform to the meaning of the hexagram.
The operation of internal qi should be in line with the principle of hexagrams. This is the embodiment of the idea of the unity of man and nature. If the practice of pile gong does not reach the shape and principle of the hexagram, it will be difficult for the human body to be in a state of qi and stagnation, and it will not be possible to obtain the effect of pile gong in regulating qi and combining blood and cultivating true qi. The dry elephant is the sky, and the head contains the dry hexagram. The head is straight and erect, the forehead is raised, the neck is upright, and the back clamp is collapsed.
Kun elephant is the ground, enough to accept the Kun hexagram. The toes of both feet grasp the ground, the left toe is buckled, the legs are clamped and cut, the knees are bent outside and straight inside, and the spring is shrunk at the end. Xun elephant is the wind, and the shoulder contains Xun hexagram. Sink your shoulders and help your elbows, your back is flat and straight, your back is alive and smooth, and your breath is smooth and not sluggish. The elephant is Ze, and the crotch is redeemed. The crotch should be round and tight, the inside and outside struggle, the crotch up and down, and the bone seams urge each other.
Soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, impartial. The Gen elephant is a mountain, and the chest is a hexagram. The chest is lifted, out but not high, open but not bound, the chest is not raised, and the waist is not sluggish. The earthquake is thunder, and the rib is shocking. The ribs, hands, and body are opened and closed by the breath of qi, for entering and exiting, for vertical and horizontal, and the qi is free to move and stop. Leaving the elephant is fire, and the heart accepts the hexagram. The heart should be on fire, and the chest and ribs should be turned over the tail.
Concentrate on walking and practice steps, and lead the heart and kidneys. Kan is like water, and the kidney is a hexagram. The kidney water is handed over to the heart, and the heart qi is sent down to the kidney, and it circulates up and down in order. Teng membrane solution: Teng membrane is an internal strengthening method. Song's Xingyi Quan Gong method is mainly based on internal strength, and the internal power is based on qi regulation, and qi regulation is assisted by Teng membrane. The one who rises, the one who rises and leaves; The periosteum is also.
Teng membrane is to introduce internal qi between the bone and the periosteum. If you don't practice the membrane, the membrane can't be absorbed, and it is difficult for the qi and blood to flow through the meridians, which is the reason why the muscles and bones cannot be strong. There are two ways to get the film. One is kneading, and the other is patting. The kneading method is divided into two types: sitting kneading and lying kneading. Sit and knead in a double plate, with the palm of the left hand attached to the umbilicus under the heart, and the right palm on the left palm.
Put your hands together, from right to left, rub your abdomen horizontally, and push your qi into the blood, which takes more than half an hour. Lying on your back with your legs straight, the kneading method is the same as sitting kneading. When rubbing the abdomen, the nose exhales and inhales, the intention is to keep the dantian, the qi and blood are combined, and the corresponding one breath and one breath and the abdomen are rubbed, not in a hurry, and breathe in as much as possible. After rubbing the abdomen for a long time, you can feel a wide stomach.
If the qi sense is condensed, and the two ribs next to the abdomen are firm and solid, the second method can be added, that is, patting. Use small pebbles to put a small cloth bag, from the heart to the two ribs densely patted, soft concaves, and kneading. After insisting on slapping for several months, the two ribs are full of strength. Then you can pat from the heart to the front of the neck, from the ribs to the shoulder, and so on.
Then pound from the shoulder to the back of the neck, follow up to the jade pillow, go to the spine, go down to the tail, and start again, not backwards. The two methods of kneading and patting can help the internal qi to be full, the muscles and bones to be sharpened, the periosteum to wake up, and the qi to circulate into the membrane to achieve internal strength. When performing the two methods of kneading and patting, you should deliberately guard the dantian, focus on accumulating qi, stick to the middle way, and meditate on the heart with one thought, and accumulate qi.
Fill up the circumference, and never direct qi into the limbs to prevent spillage. The third article of the strength of the law of the source of the solution: the strength of the solution of the shape of the boxing technique, should first know where the power comes from. The strength of Xingyi Fist does not come from the strength of the Qi Holding, but from the Qi of the cohesive dantian. Nu Qi holds its strength, there is no source base, and the three or five moves of qi are nothing, and the internal qi of the dantian is born from the fusion of qi and blood.
The intention is random, and the strength is uninterrupted. The main method of cultivating Jinyuan in Song's Xingyi Quan is internal and external dual cultivation. External trim of shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and feet. The body is a chicken leg, a dragon body, a bear arm, and a tiger hugging the head, which achieves the light spirit body method of looking high and shackling up, and looking low and falling. Inner cultivation of the mind and mind, mind and qi, qi and force within the triad.
Regulates the breath, cultivates true qi, gathers qi in the dantian, integrates qi and blood, and qi passes through the eight veins, forming a superior kung fu that activates the whole body and is motionless. Song's Xingyi Fist, Three-Body Body, Packing Root and other exercises are all based on the basic purpose of melting qi and blood and gathering Dan heart. This is the essence of Xingyi boxing to cultivate the source of strength, and this strength comes from the cohesion of Danqi.
Strength solution: The strength of any boxing technique has a process of the beginning of strength, and strength does not rise insistently. The uniqueness of Song's Xingyi boxing is that the strength arises intentionally and unintentionally, and is reached in a random way. Arising intentionally or unintentionally refers to the intention to lead the internal qi of the dantian when inhaling; Random homeopathy.
It refers to the explosion of strength in the fist homeopathy when exhaling. This method of Song's Xingyi boxing technique is shown to be light and agile in the upper body, stable in the lower body, and the strength does not hurt the internal qi, and there is no stiffness and no stagnation in the upper and lower parts of the body. This is the key to the long-term tirelessness of the master of Xingyi, which is the strength of the time when the mind leads the qi.
Pull-out solution: Although the strength process of boxing is short-lived, there are pull-out stages. Pulling force is to convert qi into force. The superior kung fu of Song's Xingyi Fist is the natural pulling force, and its key method is to pull the force between the curve and the stretch. Those who bend the past are also shrinking; Stretcher, enter, too. The bend is void and yin, and the stretch is real and yang.
In actual combat, when the fist style changes from bending to stretching, and the body style changes from closed to teng, the blades are wrapped in the skull, and the tendons are suddenly stretched, and the force is pulled out suddenly. This is the key to the pulling method of the famous Xingyi master to turn qi into strength. This is the pulling force between the curves and the stretches. Ups and downs: The strength of boxing is soft and rigid, and both softness and rigidity are in the yin and yang of the ups and downs of moves.
The manual is feminine when starting the style, and the hand is masculine when the **** shot; When falling, the chest is feminine, and when the fist reaches the landing point, the strength is masculine. The change of yin and yang in the ups and downs of the fist is also the transformation of strength from soft to rigid. Song's Xingyi Fist is a strong method of softness and rigidity, which is the strength of the feminine and feminine that falls together, and explodes in the turn of masculinity.
The move is like the waves of water, and the fall is like a thunderbolt hitting the ground, which is a wonderful way to show the softness and rigidity of everyone. This is a burst of power in the midst of a fall. Conjunction solution: The above-mentioned solutions of the source of strength, starting force, pulling force, and ups and downs belong to the segmented description of the strength method. The essence of the strength of Xingyi Fist lies in the combination of form, meaning, qi and force. Together, that is, the whole is one.
Strength from the Dan Qi from birth to up, from the beginning to the pull, from the pull to the explosion, is a continuous overall process. The essence is as follows: when inhaling, the abdomen is tightened and the air is raised, the two ribs are opened, the bend is raised, and the hand is pulled; In the exhalation, the homeopathic calm, the chest is closed, the stretch falls, and the explosive force is reached. The whole process is: the intention is to move, and the pneumatic force is born.
The force is strong, the force is pulled, and the force is exploding. This process is completed at the moment when one breath is inhaled and exhaled, and one breath is lowered together. In the starting style, it is necessary to breathe through the shoulders and arms, lower the body and lower the frame, and wrap the elbows inward; In the falling pose, you should be soft and long, relax your body, and move straight forward. If you want to achieve the harmony of this exercise, you should carefully appreciate it in practice.
Keep improving. Turning into void: Turning into void, that is, the strength of turning into void. The strength of Xingyi Quan is divided into three forms: bright and strong, dark and soft, and void. The strength of dissolving void is the highest state of strength. "Change" means change, that is, the strength of brightness and darkness is changed into "virtual energy". "Nothingness" is not nothingness, it means "essence" and "spirit". In layman's terms.
It is to sublimate the strength of brightness into "refinement", and transform the strength of darkness into "spirit". "Essence" and "spirit" are the reality in the virtual, the real with the virtual, the virtual and the real together, and the changes are endless. The strength of dissolving the void is the same as the strength of the light and the strength of the dark and soft in terms of body shape and hand and foot movements, and the difference lies in the difference in strength. Bright and soft, dark and soft with the power of "rowing".
And "turning into nothing" is in the force, there is nothing in the force, the real and the virtual, inside and outside the body, the real intention is force. The essence of "true intention" is that when exerting force, there is no intention or mind, and the divine will is connected inside and outside; In terms of body shape, three rounds and nine turns are one style, and the three sections of punching are invisible; In the strength, the starting and falling styles are all used, and the curved turn stretches into no empty back.
The strength of the void is the "fist without fist, unintentional, unintentional is true" in the boxing spectrum. Therefore, the key to "turning into nothingness" is the transformation of intention and strength, and it is also the sublimation of strength. The "Qi Method", "Gong Method" and "Jin Method" of Hou Baxing Yiquan are not independent of each other. "Qi Method" is practiced through guò "Gong Fa"; "Gongfa" is displayed through guò "Jinfa".
"Jinfa" is based on "Gongfa"; "Gongfa" is based on "Qi Law", and the three are actually one. Song's Xingyi boxing technique intrinsically links the three methods and applies them to practice and actual combat, forming the characteristics of fusion, integration, smoothness, naturalness, freedom and spontaneity. The integration of the three methods is not a simple matter of skill.
It is necessary to deeply understand the essence of the theory of Xingyiquan, correctly understand the origin of Xingyiquan culture and thought, and deeply study the process of the historical development of Xingyiquan. (To be continued.) )
