Volume 1 Self-cultivation Chapter 16 Martial Arts and Dan Dao
Zhang Sanfeng, a real person, pioneered Taijiquan, which derived the thousand-year-old inheritance of Chinese inner boxing.
Dan Tao is the fundamental way, and it is the study of China. Neijiaquan is a way, and Neijiaquan can form a culture and become a national art because it can not only maintain health, but also have the ability to fight.
The reason why Dan Dao is fundamental, and martial arts is just a branch on the avenue is very simple, I have never heard of people who can become immortals by practicing martial arts, and the history of people who practice Dan Dao to become immortals is recorded.
A simple example of the difference between the two is that the Dan Dao Gong can make people absorb a large amount of Qi, so that people can become immortals, and the Tao can change people's life forms.
The martial arts inner fist can also allow the human body to absorb Qi, but it can only make people healthy and prolong their lives, and cannot reach a leap in life level. The more direct thing about martial arts is that the fight is very powerful.
And Qin Wudao cultivates both paths, then the Dan Dao produces a large amount of Qi, and the Martial Dao can also produce Qi. Then there will be more Qi produced by people who only practice alchemy or only martial arts.
Then Qin Wudao can not only become an immortal, but also become a fighter among immortals-Erlang God Yang Jian. Becoming a Buddha is also a fighter among Buddhas - fighting to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong.
The advantage of Qin Wudao's two initiates is that not only can they produce a transformation of life, but they are also very powerful in fighting.
This kind of avenue that can make Qin Wudao's body transform, and the damage of heavenly power to his body is completely drizzle.
Life lies between breathing, and the Qi that makes the life form qualitatively change also exists in the air.
As the saying goes: people don't know what they use every day. That's it.
Qi is in the air, right around people, but people don't understand, don't believe, don't learn, and can't learn, so a small number of people have the opportunity to come into contact with Chinese culture, meet famous teachers to teach the Fa, and only then can they practice and benefit.
So how to extract the fundamental energy of Qi in the air that people breathe?
The air can't be seen or touched, colorless and odorless, how can we catch the Qi in the air and put it into the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation.
This involves a word – exercises. The breathing method that can capture the energy of Qi from the air and absorb qi into the body is the gongfa.
If there is an exercise that does not teach breathing, then it is a side-by-side way, and it is all an evil way!
The real exercise is to teach you how to adjust and control your breathing, and incorporate the small amount of Qi that exists in the air into yourself, which is the function of the exercise. This is the foundation of Buddhism and Taoism. This is the foundation of becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha.
Controlling the breath attracts the innate Qi in the air into oneself, and accumulates a small amount to complete the qualitative change of life, which is what has been inherited from Buddhism and Taoism, and this is also the foundation of Chinese culture.
Not the masters who teach breathing are all fake masters. Religions that do not teach breathing are all false and empty, and will be eliminated by history. It can't be fake, it can't be fake.
The essence that has been passed down for thousands of years is just these four words - the method of breathing.
As the saying goes: a true word is transmitted, and a false word is passed on ten thousand books.
Throughout the ages, human beings have been exploring the truth of the universe, the numerology of the human body, and other profound philosophical thoughts.
The Dan Dao of China is the culmination of reason and practice in the history of human philosophy. After integrating the ideology and practice of Buddhism and Confucianism, Taoism, the native religion of China produced the wonderful Dan Dao.
Martial arts theory says that as soon as a person exercises, his whole body heats up, and when the fever is severe, he will sweat. This heat is gas. The so-called refining and refining gas is the heat generated by human movement.
However, there are countless holes in the human body. Large loopholes such as nine orifices, seven orifices of the head: eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. COUPLED WITH THE SECRET OF HIDING THE SOUL AND THE HIDDEN ESSENCE AND PORES, THE TRICK OF LEAKING JING IS THE LOWER YIN OF THE ACQUIRED ESSENCE OF HUMAN DISCHARGE. The soul is the place where the three souls and seven spirits of people are hidden.
Buddhism and Taoism say that life can only be born when the body and soul are combined. The soul is closed when it is born, and people don't know where it is, but they use it every day, and the people use it every day without knowing the meaning. The spirit is in charge of the body, and if a person wants to exercise and do work, he must complete it under the control of the soul.
Therefore, people's daily activities are all about the consumption of the innate Qi brought by people and life, and when these innate Qi are exhausted, people will naturally change from the innate body to the acquired body. Naturally, the acquired spirit and spirit will be consumed, and the person's body will slowly go downhill, and the acquired spirit and spirit will be consumed, and the person will die.
The cultivation steps of the Dan Dao also correspond to this theory: refining and refining qi, people use their own energy to cultivate the exercises, refine the qi in the air, and nourish the physical body with qi. The physical body is nourished by Qi to a certain extent, and people can live a long and healthy life.
Refining Qi and Transforming Spirits: The body is adjusted to a perfect state by Qi, and the excess Qi can naturally feed back the spirit.
Refining the spirit and returning to the void: After the spirit is strong, it can nourish the soul.
Refining the Void and Combining the Dao: When the soul and body reach a limit, you can make a leap to the level of life, and you will become an immortal and the Dao will turn into a rainbow and ascend.
This is the meaning of the old saying: obey the ordinary, reverse the immortal.
The cultivation of the Dan Dao is actually a process of going against the heavens and fate. A person's life is a process of constant consumption. And cultivating the Dan Dao is the process of supplementation.
The process of replenishment comes from the practice, from the exercises, from the breath.
This is the truth of thousands of years of cultivation and then detachment.
Because the human body is born with countless loopholes, people are born is a process of continuous divergence, and people's daily activities are constantly consuming the innate qi in people's lives and consuming people's acquired essence, so people also have a life span.
The practice of martial arts allows one to control the pores of the human body. As soon as a person gets hot during exercise, qi is emitted from the pores. When the qi is violently discharged, the person sweats.
The pores on the human body are like the holes of the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket draws water, no matter how it is loaded, the water must flow out, the same reason, the human body, no matter how vigorous the movement, the qi will be emitted with the pores, and become empty.
In the exercise, preserving this qi from radiating is the most basic and profound thing in martial arts. This is also the method of health preservation in the Dan Dao.
Qi is emitted through the pores, and if a person wants to nourish qi, he must close the pores of the whole body at a critical time.
For example, when an animal is angry, especially a cat or a dog, when they are angry to the extreme, their whole body hair will stand up like a hedgehog. This is fried hair, and it also closes the pores. It's the same with people, sometimes, people will get goosebumps and cold hairs will blow up. This is also the closure of the pores.
Qin Wudao was learning boxing under Master Mother-in-law, and Master Mother-in-law had an arm-thick magnolia tree behind him at that time.
Like an electric shock, Master Poxin's hair suddenly stood up and then fell. Just like the historical record, Wu Sangui was angry and rushed to the crown.
At the same time, with a click, the magnolia tree broke in two from the place where it was struck, and flew out.
Master Po Xin stepped lightly again, and the originally smooth marble floor on the ground seemed to have been run over by an excavator, cracking inch by inch.
Qin Wudao was shocked for a while.
This is dark energy, also known as internal energy. When the Xingyi masters practiced, they lifted their feet to the ground silently, and with a light touch, they were able to step on a large square brick, which was dark, silent, and pivotal, so it was called dark.
Qin Wudao later learned that in order to reach the martial arts realm of Master Poxin, it was necessary to cultivate dark energy.
Guo Yunshen was a martial artist in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. Guo Yunshen practiced boxing at an early age, and later worshiped Mr. Nengran as a teacher, practicing day and night for decades, and won the essence of Xingyi boxing.
Guo Yunshen later practiced the stunt half-step collapse boxing, and was known for "half-step collapse boxing all over the world". In the third year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, he set up a teaching in Xiling and taught in the clan and other places. Later, he traveled to the north and south and had a lot of experience. Died at the age of seventy.
His posthumous work includes the book "Can Say Xingyi Fist Sutra". Guo Yunshen can be a representative of Xingyi Boxing.
At the beginning, Guo Yunshen discussed the world's martial arts and divided the boxing method into three kinds of exercises. It also summarizes the boxing method and kung fu into three steps of kung fu.
The three-step kung fu of martial arts: 1. Yi bone: practice it to build its foundation, to strengthen its body, the bone body is as hard as iron and stone, and the form and temperament are majestic like Mount Tai.
2. Easy tendons: practice to Teng its membrane, to grow its tendons (vulgar cloud: tendons grow strongly), its strength is vertical and horizontal, and it grows endlessly.
3. Washing the marrow: practice it to clear the void inside, to relax its body, and the image of the void in the inside: the use of divine energy, the round life without stagnation of the body moves, and its light is as light as a feather (fist through the clouds: three rounds and nine turns are a formula, that is, this meaning also).
The three methods of practice are: Bright Energy, Dark Energy, and Transformation Energy.
This is the three exercises, three skills and three principles of martial arts.
Mingjin. The realm in martial arts is called the process of refining and refining qi.
Train to be bright, and train the fat of the whole body into muscles through exercise. It can mobilize the body at any time to control the bones, use the power of the abdomen, waist and legs, and bones to twist into a force, and there is a thousand catties of gravity for every punch.
The cultivation of Ming Jin opened up the potential of the body and stimulated the limits of the human body, but he did not know how to converge the vitality.
It is a person who has become a person who has become a bright strength, although his strength is strong, but his physical strength and endurance cannot last. And it's not healthy.
When a person reaches a young age, there is nothing to do, and when he reaches middle and middle-aged age, his vitality will decay, and his muscles will be relaxed if he is not maintained. People die prematurely, and there are problems everywhere in the body.
Ordinary people punch with the strength of the arm muscles and will not mobilize the strength of the abdomen, waist and legs, so the power to turn the essence and blood into vitality energy and heat is also small.
After practicing Ming Jin, the force of each punch and kick mobilized the strength of the whole body, so the essence and blood of the whole body were turned into energy, heat, and vitality in an instant, and the power was very large.
Because of this, if you only know how to fight blindly and don't get enough nutrients, you will empty the body's essence, blood and physical energy, so the martial artist will decay faster than ordinary people.
Second: the innate realm, the realm of refining qi and transforming gods. The degree of darkness is clearly characterized by the bulging of the temples. These people are good at cultivating qi, and they can be strong when they practice to the dark, and they are also famous in the history of martial arts.
When a person is active, every action must produce energy heat, and this energy heat contains vitality.
When people are vigorously active, their body, blood, and energy will be turned into heat, and the energy and sweat will be released through the pores. This is the principle of refining and refining qi.
Whether or not you can hold this qi is the essential difference between health preservation and non-health.
This is also the difference between the inner home and the outer home.
The inner boxing can restrain this vitality, and the outer boxing can only practice Mingjin. can be put or not closed, so the more powerful each punch is, the more powerful the vitality will be.
How to keep the gas?
Because the energy heat generated by the strenuous activity in place will be discharged through the pores with sweat. The pores of the whole body are like a floodgate for the body. Therefore, in order to close the vitality and not leak out, you must first learn to close this floodgate.
That is, it can close the pores at the right time.
What is Pore Closure?
People can't control their pores at will. However, the characteristics of closed pores can be felt through external stimuli.
For example, when a person takes a hot bath, the pores of the whole body are opened when heated in the hot water for a long time, and the vitality of the whole body will gradually disperse with the pores, so people will sweat all over the body when they take a hot bath.
If the vitality is dispersed too much, people will not be adaptable, so some people will be dizzy, dizzy, chest tightness and shortness of breath after taking a bath for a long time. That's why there is too much energy.
But at this time, as soon as you come out of the bathroom and are blown by the cold wind, the whole body is smart, the skin is stimulated by the cold, and the goosebumps are raised, and the person will be refreshed and the mind will be clear immediately, which is the pores are stimulated and tightly closed, and the loss of body vitality is organized.
Goosebumps from this time are characteristic of closed pores.
It's the same with boxing. The punch force is in place, the whole body is hot, and I sweat slightly. The essence and blood of the whole body have turned into vitality and want to break through the pores and disperse, which is like a jar of gunpowder when it is filled, but once it is exposed to the flames, it immediately turns into energy and expands thousands of times the volume of energy, and immediately bursts through the jar and bursts out.
As soon as the gunpowder explodes the jar, it will be finished, it will be shattered, and the human body will be the same, and as soon as the vitality rushes out, the person will be empty.
Although the explosive power of the human body is not as good as gunpowder, the principle is the same.
When the vitality is about to break open the pores and disperse, the person must control the body so that all the pores are closed, and the vitality cannot be rushed out and lost.
How to close pores?
As soon as the beast was frightened, its tail first stood up, then its waist straightened, its back bowed, and the hairs of its whole body stood up, which is closed pores.
Therefore, people have to learn from beasts, and they also have to blow up their hair, starting with the tail, and the human tail has degenerated, but the tail vertebrae are still there.
The standing pile in the Xingyi Gate is to put the center of gravity on the tail vertebrae, and then push the bones up one by one, and when they are pushed to the cervical vertebrae, the brain is shocked, the whole body trembles, goosebumps, hair stands upside down, and the pores are naturally closed.
This is also the feeling that when people suddenly encounter a terrifying or incredible situation, a cool air rushes from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling Gai in the whole body.
As soon as he punched, the vitality of the whole body rushed out and just reached the epidermis, and the human tail vertebrae were shocked through the spinal nerves to the brain, and then the brain quickly made instructions to control the whole body to close the pores and force the vitality back.
When the practice reaches a certain level, the heat of the strength and the cold of the recovery of the strength are so excited, the vitality rises in the body, like cold water poured on the red-hot iron, and the temples bulge. That's the dark energy.
Therefore, as soon as the high fist is collected, the vitality of the whole body is drumming back and forth, like the Yangtze River, flowing endlessly.
No matter how hard you hit it, you won't sweat for a long time. This is also the reason why a certain master written in martial arts does not kick his breath when he punches, his face is not red, and there is no sweat on his body.
Of course, this is just the ability to practice dark energy to the highest level, and the vitality can only be obtained without leaking at all.
Closing pores is only done when practicing boxing, and when you hit someone, you have to release your vitality and don't close your pores.
When a punch is thrown, the person who is beaten must not only bear the blow of Mingjin, but also the force of the vitality rushing out of the pores.
Therefore, martial arts are divided into three types: fighting, practicing and acting.
When practicing, you should store your vitality by closing your pores, and when you fight, you should release all your stored vitality.
The dark energy in martial arts is that the vitality rushes out of the pores to hit people, just like an electric shock, it is also the same as ten thousand needles.
Masters often don't need to be bright, lightly touch their hands, and their hearts will rush out of the pores as soon as they are energized.
People sometimes punch a few times and don't sweat. But when I encountered something urgent, I sweated all over my body. This urgency is mental strength.
The power of the mood and spirit destroys the vitality much more violently than the movement of the body.
Therefore, the way of health preservation is to have a peaceful state of mind, not to be happy and sad, and not to be impatient.
A master can control his state of mind. Use your heart to stimulate the dark energy and spew out vitality.
Cardiac strength is the power of the heart to move the blood. Therefore, the heart of a martial arts master is particularly strong.
Therefore, when practicing martial arts posture to the end, you must put your hands on the center of your eyebrows and temples, and then slowly press down to your abdomen.
This press is famous, by regulating the mood, the body from the tension of boxing practice to the usual tranquility.
Through the adjustment of mood, the rising vitality settles down and falls between the two kidneys in the abdomen.
Among the five elements, the heart belongs to fire, the kidney belongs to water, and the kidney water belongs to the Lord. Blood flows through the epidermal blood vessels throughout the body, filtering out toxins and impurities through the sedimentation of the kidneys, and then excreting through urine to keep the body clean at all times.
The abdomen is connected to the large and small intestines, which can also filter impurities and be discharged through feces.
However, the vitality is not impurities, which settle between the kidneys and the lower abdomen, and will gradually penetrate into the two organs, transforming the organs and enhancing their functions. Therefore, the strength of the waist, kidneys, and lower abdomen of people who practice martial arts is the strongest.
Below the lower abdomen is the dantian, and the sinking of vitality is generally settled in it and does not leak out. When a person is energetic, the lower abdomen is a strand, and then the abdominal muscles rush out as soon as they move their vitality.
The meridians are the epidermal nervous system, which is used to control every inch of the human epidermis.
Although people are smart, they can get goosebumps all over their bodies, and they can sweat all over their bodies in a hurry, but they are all on a large scale.
When you really fight, you should open your pores in a small area. For example, people sometimes have no intention of being in a hurry, and their bodies are not sweating, but their palms are all sweaty, which is inadvertently penetrating the epidermal nerves on the hands.
There is a small number of people who can control their ears and move up and down slightly, which is a person who is born with the meridians of the ear.
But this is unconscious, and it is not possible to control it according to one's own mind and it happens that luck is useless.
When the master competes, the release of vitality is controlled in a small range, that is, a punch hits you, and the fist touches the skin on your body and sweats, which is really accurate to the position, and the control of dark energy is to the realm of perfection.
The lower abdomen puffed out and twisted the fist, the fist was sweating, but the body was tense and there was no sweat at all, so the dark energy was practiced at home, and it was not wasted at all.
The vitality of the whole body is concentrated in one point, and the power is greater.
For example, if you block half of the faucet, the other half of the water will naturally have a greater momentum. If you pierce the water pipe all over the place, and the water is sprayed out of the small holes, the pressure will be reduced, and the momentum of the faucet will naturally be smaller.
Martial arts practice to the extreme, can control the opening and closing of every inch of the epidermis of the whole body.
Use your strength to release your vitality to hit someone or carry a blow. The whole body becomes a whole, this is the dark energy that has been practiced to the whole strength of the home. It is also controlled to the point of every minute.
Therefore, Grandmaster Cheng Tinghua said: "When you beat someone, you should be anxious in your hands. ”
When people's minds are in a hurry, they will sweat, which is the combination of intention and qi. Hitting people in a hurry is a combination of strength and strength.
The person is able to control the entire pores of the body. That's the whole thing. Internal strength is also called rectification strength, which is a truth.
The martial arts master can break the reinforced stone slab with one palm, which is not based on the hardness of the flesh and bones, but on the momentum of the dark energy to rush out of the pores. As soon as the dark energy rushed, it first destroyed the organizational structure of the reinforced stone slab, and then followed this momentum, and the fist broke and shattered with a slight bump.
Otherwise, the hardness of flesh and blood cannot be compared with the reinforced stone slab.
You also hit Qin Wudao with a stick, and the moment you touched the epidermis of your body, after the pores of the contact part were soft, you rushed out of your vitality. Then the pores were tightened and closed, and goosebumps jumped up. This is enough triple power to neutralize any level of attack.
Martial arts practice to the first-class master to reach the innate realm, not only the five organs strengthened, the waist and kidneys strengthened, the lower abdomen strengthened, but also through the heart to control every inch of the body epidermal pores closed, to achieve the realm of body breathing.
Reaching this realm, that is, the bright and dark strength, the great success, can naturally be one against a hundred.
Third: Channeling.
Only by washing the marrow can you pass through the spirits, and when you reach the realm of refining the marrow, you can call it the realm of the gods, and it is also called turning strength.
When the kung fu is saturated, the innate vitality is saturated, and the dantian qi is full of accumulation, and at this time, the kung fu will penetrate into the bone marrow.
Bone marrow is hematopoietic, and if you want to change the human body, you must exercise the bone marrow in order to finally transform the human body.
And the bone marrow can't be exercised no matter how it is exercised, and there is only one way, and that is to connect it through the vibration of the sound.
There is a tiger and leopard thunder sound in the inner boxing, the sound of big cats is not imitated by people, and the sound of tigers and lions is difficult for people to imitate, and there is a sound in the body of this large animal, so the bones of the tiger are particularly powerful, and the tiger bones are the most nourishing things.
Thunder comes out of the mountains, and everything sprouts thunder. Science says that the universe began with the inanimate sky where thunder and lightning intersected to produce amino acids, evolved into single-celled organisms, and finally evolved into human beings.
Thunder has been the power of germination since ancient times, and everything recovers when the spring thunder sounds. Taoism talks about the thunder tribulation, which is to guide the power of thunder to enter the human body, and borrow the external force of thunder to complete the transformation of the life level.
Of course, for example, electricity is walking in the wires, and it can reach the point of crossing the thunder tribulation, so it is natural to polish the body to the point where the peak of martial arts transformation strength can not be advanced, in order to withstand the power of thunder, a high form.
The body did not reach this point, so he went to lead the thunder, and he was naturally killed by the thunder.
The muffled thunder in the sky is long and profound, and the meaning is far-reaching.
People learn the thunder sound of tigers and leopards, and use sound vibrations to exercise bone marrow, which is the foundation of transforming the body.
There is a Buddhist sutra that clearly states that the "Sutra of Washing the Marrow" is to recite the sutra every day, and there is also a six-character mantra: 唵 (ōng) 嘛 (ma) (nī) horn (bēi) Mi (mēi) 吽 (hōng), all of which are methods of exercising bone marrow.
People who have washed the marrow have a strong hematopoietic function. The physical strength and physical fitness have been greatly enhanced, and the whole body has finally been transformed. In this way, it is possible to achieve all kinds of incredible means that mortals think they are immortals.
The martial arts masters of the Republic of China, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Sun Lutang, and Li Luoneng have all reached such a realm.
The three-body pose that Qin Wudao is currently practicing is to control the pores of the whole body. The three-body pose is the real kung fu of long physical strength and long kung fu.
This is the reason why the three-body pose is inseparable.
Qin Wudao continued to put on the posture that seemed to be holding a gun and a bayonet.
The three-body pile method is to master the opening and closing of your own pores by exercising your spine.
Through this month-long practice, the strength of Qin Wudao into his body, inch by inch, moved down the joints of the vertebrae and nudged them, and with each inch of bone joints moved, Qin Wudao felt that his body seemed to be straightening his vertebrae little by little.
At the same time, the movement of the vertebrae also drives the movement of the bones of the whole body and the expansion and contraction of muscles.
Qin Wudao naturally had a fever all over his body, and his body was sweating slightly.
Suddenly, the center of gravity of Qin Wudao's whole body suddenly drooped to the end of his spine, and his entire body was like a cat with its tail stepped on.
The cold hairs all over the body exploded, and a dense layer of goosebumps appeared on the skin. All the sweat and heat, as if forced back.
The Tai Chi pile made Qin Wudao's physical fitness as a whole, like a round ball, which greatly increased Qin Wudao's physical fitness.
And the three-body pose is to let Qin Wudao keep exercising the opening and closing of his pores, that is, through the meridians.
It's all water mills, and I'm not in a hurry. Therefore, at present, under Qin Wudao's cultivation day and night, under the supply of Qin Wudao's cultivation resources by the Great Qin royal family.
In just three months, Qin Wudao felt that his physical body had been forged to the limit of his current eight-year-old body, and if he practiced again, he would hurt his body, and the cautious Qin Wudao knew the truth that he was too much.
Time flies like a white horse, and it has been a hundred days since Qin Wudao left the palace.
