Chapter 16: The Touching of the Heart
The old man's posthumous book is the book "Can Say Xingyi Fist Sutra". The main points of the discussion of the theory of Xingyiquan are as follows: "Xingyiquan has three layers of truth, three steps of kung fu, and three practice methods. The three-layer truth is: one practice refining qi, two practicing qi and transforming gods, and three practicing gods and returning to emptiness. The three steps of kung fu are: one is easy bones, two is easy tendons, and three is easy marrow. The three practice methods are: bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy. ”
Waijia boxing is practiced on the limbs; And the inner boxing, the practice is the spine!
Three-body piles, poleless piles, mixed element piles, etc., essentially practice the spine!
The spine is connected to the brain, connected to the nervous system of the human body, through the practice of the spine, so as to stimulate the human brain, stimulate the vitality of the human body, and form a powerful explosive force.
When ordinary people punch, it is the strength of the arm muscles, and at most the waist muscles; And to practice into Mingjin, through exercise, the fat of the whole body is trained into muscles, can mobilize the body at any time, control the bones, use the strength of the abdomen, waist and leg bones to twist into a strand, and every punch out has a thousand catties of gravity.
After practicing Ming Jin, one punch is the strength of the whole body, and the explosive power is extremely powerful.
In the era of the Republic of China, many masters of national arts were very thin, while some foreign strongmen were burly, but in the competition, many masters of national arts often knocked down foreign strongmen with one move. The key lies in the strength of the Ming and its terrifying explosiveness.
The cultivation of national art has reached Ming Jin, and the explosive power is strong, and one punch and one kick can mobilize the strength of the whole body, which can be described as extremely terrifying, but the disadvantage is not long-lasting.
The average boxing master made more than a dozen punches in a row before he was sweating and panting; But the master of national arts, only two or three punches, was sweating and panting.
The so-called explosive power is powerful, but this terrifying explosive power comes at the expense of staying power.
Rigid can not be long, soft can not be kept!
Fierce strength is difficult to get lasting, explosive power, often great damage to the human body.
Therefore, after the bright energy, there is the dark energy.
Ming Jin, practiced is a strong force, is explosive power; And the dark energy, practiced is feminine strength, and it is staying power.
From a scientific point of view, the human body eats food, carbohydrates, and converts them into calories, and when running, these heat energy is converted into kinetic energy.
The human body can control running, jumping, and limb movements, but it is difficult to control the speed at which heat energy is converted into kinetic energy. The human body is a precision instrument, and many times rely on the inertial control and inertia of the brain; However, the general direction, the movement of the limbs, is easy to control; However, controlling the speed of the heartbeat, the respiratory rate, the stretching and atrophy of the pores of the human body, the flow of blood, etc., is not enough, and the more subtle it is, the more difficult it is to control.
After strenuous activity, the energy and heat generated by the human body will be discharged through the pores with sweat.
And when you practice dark energy, you should close your pores properly.
People can't control their pores at will, but they can be closed by external stimuli.
For example, when a person takes a hot bath and soaks in hot water for a long time, the pores of the whole body are opened, but at this time, when he comes out of the bathroom and is blown by the cold wind, the person's whole body is smart, the skin is stimulated by cold, goosebumps are together, and the pores of the whole body are closed.
And when a person is frightened, his pores will subconsciously close.
However, these are accidental phenomena and the human body is unable to consciously control pores.
However, through the standing pile, the spine is tempered, people are always in a frightened state, and the pores are closed, and this accidental state becomes controllable and becomes a regular phenomenon!
And when it comes to this realm, it is dark energy.
When it comes to the battle in the ring, when the Ming Jin master is fighting, one punch and one kick are all attracting the power of the whole body, and the explosive power is strong, but the explosive power is strong, but it is difficult to last, and the continuous onslaught of three or five punches is sweat like rain;
And when it comes to the dark master, when he arrives in the ring, he puts on a pile to fight, so that the human body is in a frightened state at the moment, the pores of the whole body are closed, and the heat energy of the whole body is locked in the pores, which can supply the body with more heat energy, more into kinetic energy, and the staying power is more powerful, and it can punch dozens of punches in a row, all of which are explosive.
Mingjin is explosive, but it does not last;
And dark energy is not only explosive, but also durable.
Of course, there are also shortcomings in the dark energy realm!
The opening and closing of the pores of the human body actually controls the dissipation of heat from itself. When the weather is cold, the pores shrink and heat is reduced; When the weather is hot, the pores unfold and the heat dissipates faster.
After exercise, a large amount of sweating itself is a way to regulate body temperature and heat dissipation, sweating after exercise is very normal, exercise sweating is an active regulation of the human body, in order not to make the muscle body temperature too high and cause problems, the sweat glands under the human skin secrete body fluids, so that they evaporate and take away the excessive temperature in the body, so as to maintain a normal body temperature.
It can maintain the heat balance and water balance in the body, accelerate metabolism, and feel comfortable after sweating.
After cultivating the national arts, cultivating to the dark energy, subconsciously controlling the opening and closing of pores, in fact, to a certain extent, disrupting the physiological functions and metabolism of the human body, and harming human health.
And the master of dark energy, when fighting fiercely, often closes pores, reduces heat dissipation, and bulges temples, which seems to be awesome. In fact, the bulging temples are not a good phenomenon from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
In order to make up for the lack of dark energy, there is chemical energy.
The combination of strength and softness, the unity of yin and yang, just makes up for the lack of dark energy.
Bright energy, dark energy, and chemical strength can be called practicing and playing, but it is not a realm.
Guo Yunshen said that there are three steps in national art: one is easy bones, two is easy tendons, and three is easy marrow.
It can be seen as the three realms of national art!
One is easy bones, two is easy tendons, and three is easy marrow, step by step from shallow to deep, temper the body, make the body strong, and be good at fighting.
In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets!
And different martial artists have different understandings of national arts, and their understanding of bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy is also different.
"Old man, what are my shortcomings in martial arts?" Wang Bin asked.
"There are no shortcomings, and I can't point to you!" The old man said: "I have taught what should be taught, and you have learned what should be learned, and the next key is to rely on comprehension!" ”
"How to step into the darkness!" Wang Bin sighed: "I can't comprehend the mystery of dark energy for a long time! ”
"You are too smart, smart people always think too much, always like to detour......" said the old man, "take a walk more, look for the touch of the heart." If the literati are moved, they can write famous works; Martial arts must be integrated into emotions in order to become vivid and turn into martial arts! Otherwise, no matter how much you practice, you won't be able to reach the highest level, and at best you will be just a machine. ”
