Ever since Ji Wushuang came to this world, he has been trying to use the knowledge of the three worlds he knows to analyze what the essence of cultivation is.

The way to achieve foundation building is the way to refine qi.

Then how can it be considered Qi refining?

From a scientific point of view, it is to construct the dantian and the meridians in the body to form a kind of Qi operation system, so that the Qi can circulate in the meridians and achieve a state of taking and using.

So what is Qi and how do the meridians work? As far as the Tao is concerned, what is the Taoist understanding of the Tao as one begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things?

Ji Wushuang believes that the Tao is the point of chaos. Similar to the site of the Great Explosion.

The second life is that chaos gives birth to yin and yang, which is also the so-called nothing without yin and yang.

Two gives birth to three, and this three is the link that connects yin and yang, that is, "qi", which is a medium for material transformation and communication, and yin and yang can incarnate all things with this link.

So, what is the Tao?

The meaning of "Dao", Ji Wushuang once used the explanation in the Tao Te Ching during the big exam:

There is a mixture of things, born from nature.

The ancient Tao Te Ching is slightly different from it, but: there is a "thing" 䖵 (kun), born from nature.

The word "meow" is used exquisitely, describing the image of yin and yang. The later "Tao Te Ching" changed the word "kun" to "kun", although it can also be explained, but the meaning has changed slightly.

This sentence points out: "Tao" is also a kind of "thing".

So what is the essence of "things"?

After Ji Wushuang came to the game, he had a new understanding. He believes that "matter" is formed by the fusion of the illusory "Qi" and the "quality" of the entity.

Analyze from the ancient characters of Chinese culture.

The character "炁": from "旡" (jì), from "fire".

"旡" in the oracle bone inscription has the same origin as the word "ow".

"旡" means burping when you are full, and "owing" means burping when you are not full.

The word "fire" is added under the word "旡", which means that people have a form of energy in a state of fullness.

So to explain, the essence of "Qi" is that "Qi" is an illusory thing, and its performance characteristics are like fire, which is a kind of energy that maintains the operation of life.

Then let's look at the other part of "things", the "quality" of entities.

The ancient text for "quality" is written as "quality". FROM "斦 (YIN)", FROM "BEI".

"斦" is composed of double "catties".

The word "jin" in the oracle bone inscription is composed of two "☇" intersecting on the front and back.

In ancient texts, it ☇ is the word "axe", which means axe.

The word "axe" in ancient texts, from "Xin" and "Bu", means that the meaning is very vivid: the ancients in ancient times tied one end of the wooden stick to a stone chisel to make an axe.

"Chop" means the action of chiseling an object to a crushed state with two axes repeatedly.

And "shell", that is, the shell, is the oldest currency of mankind.

From the composition of the ancient characters, the meaning of "質" is the smallest indivisible particle produced by the repeated chiseling of the shell by the axe.

This tiniest particle is the "quality".

When Ji Wushuang studied chemistry in his last life, he learned that atoms refer to the basic particles that cannot be separated from chemical reactions. The concept of "quality" in ancient Chinese culture is very close to it, and this concept was thousands of years ahead of the world at that time.

So to explain:

The composition of "matter" is composed of the "qi" of nothingness and the "quality" of the smallest particle.

The same is true of the Word.

From the perspective of yin and yang, the quality belongs to yin and is relatively unchanged; Qi is yang and changes relatively.

This is very similar to the explanation of the nucleus and electrons of an atom.

Just like the substance of "light" that I learned in my previous life, it has wave-particle duality.

This "wave" nature is equivalent to "Qi", which is relatively changing; And "granularity" is equivalent to "quality", which is relatively unchanged.

Therefore, not only human beings and all all things, but even the "Great Dao" and "Heavenly Dao" are all "things" composed of yin and yang.

Just like the Taoist yin-yang fish, there is no absolute yin, and there is no absolute yang.

There is yang in yin, yin in yang, yang gives birth to yin, and yin gives birth to yang, which is not static, but a dynamic process, which is also the origin and idea of the word "I Ching".

That is, all things are negative yin and embrace yang.

In the world of game cultivation in this life, the main cultivation of qi refining is "Qi", and the main cultivation of body refining is "quality".

Ji Wushuang's foundation building in the Heavenly Dao this time is the way of refining qi, so let's talk about refining qi.

The question arises, are "Qi" and "Qi" the same?

What's the difference?

In fact, the essence of "Qi" and "Qi" is the same.

The ancient Chinese culture believes that everything has a difference between "body" and "use".

"Qi" is ethereal, elusive, inintuitive, and is a "body"; "Qi" can be seen, considerable, and is for "use".

Let's take the analogy of air.

Qi is like cold air and hot air, although people can feel the warmth and cold, they are not visible.

When cold air and hot air meet, clouds will be formed, which is the same as the mist formed by the cold wind blowing in the room in winter, and this cloud and air can be seen and touched, which is "qi".

Therefore, "Qi" and "Qi" are actually of the same origin, but their manifestations are not the same.

So how can you refine gas and build a foundation? Why is the path of cultivation called going against the sky?

Ji Wushuang thought about it for more than ten years, and finally used his qi cultivation technique in this world, and under his own meditation and cultivation, he finally had enlightenment.

Qi refining is the operation and cultivation of "Qi" in the meridians of the human body.

This talks about the meridians of the human body, and the meridians are the operating system of "Qi".

As we all know, the meridians are not like the physical organs of the human body, such as the heart, lungs, liver, and spleen, it is fictitious. According to Western anatomy, after dissecting a person, there is no organ such as meridians in the human body.

Its nature is the illusory "Qi" mentioned earlier, not the actual "quality".

In traditional Chinese medicine, the entire meridians of the human body are composed of "meridian week", "meridian week" and "chong mai".

"Meridian Great Zhoutian" is the vein composed of the two veins of "Ren Du".

The so-called opening up of the two veins of Rendu in ancient Chinese martial arts is actually the meaning of opening up the "Meridian Great Zhoutian".

The son is yin, and the afternoon is yang.

"Zi" corresponds to the "perineal acupoint" below, and "noon" corresponds to the "Baihui acupoint" directly above the head.

"Ren Mai" is the "Yin Qi" from the perineum along the front half of the human body, along the navel all the way up, to the chest, and then from the face to the Parkway.

"Du Mai" is the entire vein of "Yang Qi" from the Parkway down the spine along the back half of the human body to the perineum acupoint.

This whole closed loop is the "Meridian Great Week".

And the "Chongmai" is the surface similar to the "cross-cutting" that blends with each other in the human body.

"Mao You Xiao Zhoutian", "Mao" corresponds to the life gate at the back waist, and "You" corresponds to the navel, that is, the Shenque acupoint.

This closed-loop surface that surrounds horizontally from the life-gate acupoint to both sides to the navel is the "Mao You Xiao Zhoutian", that is, the "belt vein".

So what is the so-called dantian for refining qi? Where is it in the human body? How are the meridians of "Ren Pulse" and "Du Pulse" formed? On what basis?

The so-called "dantian" of refining qi is also the lower dantian.

It is the source of all veins, the ancestral hallway.

Therefore, Qi refining starts from the lower dantian.

Just like "Qi", the dantian is nothing, it is not an organ of the human body, and the dissection cannot be found in the real thing.

So where does it sit in the human body? How did it come about?

In fact, the "lower dantian" is also the "middle cell", which is the point at the end of the umbilical cord in the fetal body.

The location is at the line from the Parkway to the perineum on the top of the human head, where it intersects with the cross-section of the veined "Mao You Zhoutian".

That is, the position of the three fingers inward in the navel of the human body.

If you want to talk about the composition of meridians and dantian, you have to start from the beginning of the human body from the growth of the fetus.

Ji Wushuang studied when he was in middle school in his previous life.

A fetus is a division of a fertilized egg.

The fertilized egg is formed by the intersection of sperm and egg, which is what Taoists call the chaotic "one".

When they intersect with each other, they activate the innate "Qi" and begin to split under the catalysis of the "Qi".

Two cells were generated, the egg cell dominated by the egg nucleus "Yin Qi" and the sperm cell dominated by the sperm nucleus "Yang Qi", that is, "life two".

Later, the oocyte will turn into the placenta, and the sperm will give birth to the fetus.

And the link between them, the umbilical cord, is also "three".

The explanation for the birth of the fetus is that the sperm cell, as the "Yang Qi", continuously absorbs the "Yin Qi" of the egg cell through the umbilical cord, and then transports the "Yang Qi" to the egg placenta in the opposite direction, so as to achieve the innate balance of yin and yang in the mother's body, so as to mature the process of birth.

When the baby is born, the Qi contained in this point in the cell is absorbed by various parts of the human body and disappears.

The Qi in the cell disperses into the five internal organs, the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and becomes a form that is both invisible and dissipated, and becomes an invisible, elusive, and imperceptible existence, which is the dantian, that is, this Qi catalyzes the growth of the fetus.

Anatomically, the umbilical cord is composed of one umbilical vein and two umbilical arteries.

The egg cell that turns into the placenta wants to export "yin qi" to the sperm cell, which is transmitted through this umbilical vein.

The "impotence" of fetal sperm cells is transmitted into the placenta by two umbilical arteries.

At the beginning of fetal growth, the "Yin Qi" in the egg cell rises from the dantian of the "cell" and climbs to the head nucleus of the supreme sperm cell, which is the place of the "upper dantian" Yuanyang.

It also generates the first half of the human body's flesh and blood and meridians, which is the "Ren vein".

The essence nucleus of Yuanyang absorbs the "Yin Qi", and the "Yang Qi" is transmitted from the back of the head down the back, to the lifegate and perineum, and is input into the umbilical artery and back to the placenta, generating the second half of the flesh and meridians, that is, the "Du Pulse".

The Du Mai to the Gate is divided into two strands, surrounded by left and right, connecting the two umbilical arteries of the umbilical cord. The veins that surround the dantian on the left and right are the "veins" of the human body.

In the human body, the intersection of the "Ren Pulse" and the "Du Pulse" is called the "Chong Pulse".

If you want to express it vividly, take the earth as an example.

The second vein can be seen as the front and rear spheres of the earth.

The human body goes straight down from Parkway to the middle dantian in the chest, and then down to the lower dantian, this straight line is like the axis of the earth; The veins are like the equator; The dantian is the center of the earth where the earth's axis and the equatorial plane meet; The pulse is like a vertical slice of the earth after it has been cut vertically according to the meridian circle.

The meridian system of the human body is the meridian of the meridian of the closed loop of the two veins of the front yin and the back yang, the pulse system of the intersection of the yin and yang two vein systems, and the tail end of the Du vein in the horizontal section of the dantian.

So the human body has its own world.

When the fetus grows in the mother's innate universe, it also prepares for the acquired universe.

A pumping station has been formed in the middle dantian, that is, the middle dantian, which is concretely the heart, and its function is to supply the "yin qi" to the upper dantian of the upper "yuanyang" more quickly.

It also generates organs such as the mouth, nose, stomach, and intestines. It is convenient for the fetus to continue to ingest "Yin Qi" after it is born into the acquired universe to maintain growth.

At the beginning of the birth of the fetus, the process of reaching the balance of yin and yang in the mother's body is called the innate universe, and after birth, it is called the acquired universe.

After the birth of the fetus into the acquired universe, the innate balance is also broken.

In order to maintain the balance of yin and yang, the human body continues to ingest "yin qi". Along the Ren vein to the upper dantian, and then from the upper dantian to discharge the "Yang Qi", this "Qing Yang Qi" from the back of the Du vein down to the intestines and kidneys, turned into turbid yang, discharged from the body.

After the human body reaches adulthood, it is a balance that people reach in the acquired universe, but unfortunately this balance does not last.

However, people also need to continue to ingest energy through the mouth and nose, these energy "Yin Qi" stomach and intestines, continue to go up, and the upper dantian continues to discharge the "Yang Qi", and when all the "Yang Qi" in the upper dantian is replaced by "Yin Qi" until the Yin is full and the Yang is gone, the person will die.

This mechanism is that the human body is Yin Qi ascending along the Ren Pulse, and the Yang Qi is discharged and descending along the Du Pulse.

Things are imported from the mouth and nose of the person, and the yin qi is generated in the inner abdomen, which goes up from the Ren vein to the top, replacing the yang qi. One part goes down along the Chong vein, and the other part goes down along the Du vein, and is discharged from the body through the intestine and kidney, forming a closed loop under the natural system.

Refining Qi! It's about reversing this natural process.

It is the opportunity to go against the sky and seize the heavens and the earth.

How.

The monk incorporated the spiritual power of the spirit stone into the dantian in the cell, and these spiritual powers turned into yang qi.

Part of them is the Yang vein system dominated by the Yang vein from the lower part of the back into the Du vein, which originally discharged the Yang Qi of Yuan Yang from top to bottom, but now it has been reversed, and Yang Qi has gone against the trend to the upper dantian; The other part goes up along the pulse, passing through the middle dantian to the upper dantian, and these two parts are "Yangqi" ascending.

When it came to the upper dantian to supplement the Yuan Yang, it was replaced by the "Yin Qi" that went down the Ren vein in front of it, and then incorporated into the dantian, and these Yin Qi continued to generate "Yang Qi" under the catalysis of spiritual power, forming a closed loop of reversal.

Qi refining is to replenish the yin qi from the original yin rising and yang falling, consuming the yang qi of the upper dantian to replenish the yin qi, reversing to the yang rising and yin falling, and consuming the yin qi to continue to replenish the yang qi.

Therefore, the path of qi refining and cultivation is also known as the way against the sky.
