If we define qigong from the perspective of Chinese medicine, qigong is a method of exercise that harmonizes one's own qi through self-exercise in regulating one's spirit.
With the forward development of science, we can use the relevant knowledge of modern science to recognize qigong, which will deepen our understanding of the essence of qigong.
If we look at it from the perspective of modern behavioral medicine, qigong exercise is a kind of behavioral therapy in which one learns and trains a kind of benign behavior that is conducive to the health of the mind and body and eventually fixes it by way of conditioned reflexes.
If we look at the psychophysiological process of qigong, we can define qigong as a self-exercise method that uses self-suggestion as the core means to induce consciousness to enter a state of self-hypnosis, and adjusts the balance of the mind and body through the mechanism of psychophysiological-morphological self-adjustment, so as to achieve the goal of fitness for healing.
We can also summarize the above understanding into one sentence: qigong is a kind of self-mind-body therapy with Chinese national cultural characteristics. There are many kinds of mind-body therapies, but what distinguishes qigong from many other self-mind-body therapies is that it is characterized by Chinese national culture -- a practice unique to the Chinese people and guided by the theoretical content of traditional Chinese medicine, namely, "regulating the spirit" as its core.

The Xingyiquan internal gong method questions
1. Q: Why is Xingyiquan internal gong first dantian gong?
Answer: Dantian gong is the gong method of cultivating the true yang qi of the innate. People in the mother's body is to rely on the navel from the mother to absorb nutrients and maintain life. After leaving the mother, by the influence of the external environment, the innate spirit gradually sip extinction, the innate true essence of the sun will gradually reduce the gas, until the end of the candle when the person is like running out of oil like a lamp extinguished (dead). Therefore, to strengthen the exercise of dantian gong, it is like dredging the silted river, dredging the meridians, especially after practicing through the circumference of the day after the former governor of the qitong, the true yang qi through, the strength of the storage force is sufficient, not only the elimination of all diseases, to slow down the aging, but also to practice the superior martial arts.
2. Q: Why is it called Dantian Gong?
Answer: Xingyiquan internal work is not only called Dantian Gong, can also be called Zhou Tian Gong, or called the real method. Some also call this work 16 put qigong, sitting, lying down, standing work, the four internal scriptures, through the root of the eight methods. But our school specializes in practicing this dantian gong, in order to cultivate the innate energy, support the true yang; when the refining to the gas full body, the whole body drumming, the upper and lower dantian qi full of when the fist is no fist, intentionally unintentional. When there is no intention, you can reach the superior realm of Xingyiquan. Boxing manual says: "the essence of the spirit to raise the root of the gas to raise the god, the yuan yang does not go away to get its true, the dantian raised into a thousand days of treasure, ten thousand taels of gold is not with the people," indicating that the dantian work in the heart of the boxing is important. Because the dantian is the place of human vital energy, so it is called dantian gong.
3. Q; refining dantian gong first from where to start?
A: the first to recognize the three big strange meridians. According to the Chinese medical doctrine, the human body has twelve meridians and odd meridians, why recognize the three major meridians, which three major meridians
(1) Duchenwu. The ducal vein is one of the eight odd meridians, starting at the end of the tail wench bone, Changqiang point after the Huitu Department, up the spine to the back of the head in the depression of the wind Fu point, into the brain, and then on the top of the top, along the forehead down to the nose crutches. At the back of the human body. The Governor contains the meaning of the Governor, "the Governor is the sea of Yang Chakra". "The Governor's Chakra governs the yang of the whole body". A body of the yang vein will be in the Governor's vein.
(2) Ren Chakra. The Ren Vein is also one of the Eight Channels of the Qi Meridian, starting from the perineum under the middle school, going up to the deep part of the hairy intervals, and going up along the abdomen to the Guanyuan Point to the throat; then going up to the chin, and taking the face deep into the eyes. In front of the person. Ren has the meaning of acting as, "Ren chakra is the sea of yin chakra", "Ren chakra acts as the yin of the whole body". The Yin meridians of the whole body meet in the Ren Chakra. These two veins are in the front and back of the human body, one yin and one yang. These two chakras are connected to form
a one-week heavenly connection.
(3) Belt Chakra. The Belt Chakra is also one of the eight Chakra, which originates from the lower part of the dermatomes and encircles the waist and abdomen of the body for a week. It binds people like a human girdle. After recognizing these three major veins, you can open the Ren-Du Chakra, that is, the small circumference of the sky. We practice Xingyiquan Dantian Gong that is the first from my introduction to the work (see (Martial Spirit) 199; the first issue of the year) from one to the back one by one exercise. Because although this work is not out of the bias, but in order to be able to adapt to the East and West, South, North and South of the five kinds of people's environment, climate, human body and so on different, so it is still according to my introduction of the steps to practice.
4. Q: each time you practice a style or a nine-form practice
A: According to my years of experience in exercise, each time the first practice to hold the dantian, followed by the practice of shaking the dantian, time, the number of times is not limited. Practice more practice less can, but each time not less than 36, otherwise not out of work. Some time to spare can also be a nine-style all done, there is less time, you can only do one or two of the style. This depends on their own time to master.
5. Q: hold Dantian each time to stand how long? How to close?
A: hold Dantian method is mainly people and the sky (nature) to carry out useful communication activities. People are forced to make a living every day in a hurry, the idea of tension, body fatigue, which is usually said to produce a kind of fatigue, stiffness. And people want to live and can not do, so, after the tension to go to the river, lake, or the mountains in the bushes to relax the mind, stretch the limbs and bones, inhale - some fresh air, do "spit out the old and the new", which is to hold Dantian Gong. Each time to hold Dantian time is to think to achieve relaxation, seem to think non-thinking, everything is empty, that is, the mood is comfortable, no longer tense, no longer anxious that is good. This action should not be closed. After the idea of purification, body relaxation, this action is the beginning of nothing, and then practice a few other styles, you can practice the effect.
6. Q: turn dantian requirements from left to right, clockwise or counterclockwise?
A: Men and women are different. Men are centered on the Dantian, from the left down, then up, and then turn to the left, is clockwise. Turn 36 times. Women on the contrary (because of mindfulness of the disciples of women are very few), should be from the left to the right down and then up to the left, is counterclockwise, but only turn 32 times.
7. Q: how to shake the Dan Tian turn method
A: In fact, as long as you master the principle of male left and female right, I want to practice Xingyiquan friends can be figured out. Gong method has been introduced in the "intention to guard the dantian, the dantian as the center of the circle, driven by the waist from the left forward and then to the right swaying. This kind of shaking should be to lead the qi with the intention, to lead the qi to drive the body to shake, the waist with the spiral force of the intention. This kind of shaking is mainly to exercise into the belt pulse.
8. Q: How to knead the boat field? How to grasp the weight?
Answer: the two hands of the tiger's mouth open to form a natural circle, the two palms symmetrically put - on both sides of the dantian, at this time the dantian point just in the two tiger's mouth of the circle; the two palms should be close to the body, but can not be pressed to death, but gently close to the body. When you do the round turn movements should also be gentle, from left to right, the route is also from the left down to the right, is clockwise, but the two palms of the tiger's mouth circle can not be turned to the outside of the Dantian points.
9. Q: how to master the lightness of the strike dantian?
A: Xingyiquan internal work from the fifth style is generally practiced after a certain amount of internal strength. Two arms back like a bird spreading its wings, to try to spread back, the heart of the two hands upward, in addition to the thumb the rest of the four fingers as far as possible to turn back. Two palms back down when you want to clench boxing Dantian when a boat is the power when the force is lighter, when the power is deeper can be more force. This depends on each person's physique and internal strength and mastery.
10. Q: how many times the folding of the dantian should be, whether it is also 36 times
A: this style in the Xingyiquan is both internal and one of the technical action. Therefore, folding dantian should be practiced more. More practice and more work, can not be limited to 36 times. This style, such as used in technical combat, two palms are forward when the front pounce, each palm five fingers open forward, the left palm from the right palm through the front, the right palm through the right elbow to hold back, the left palm has been pounced to the left knee in front of the place. The right form is also the same as before, only the opposite movement.
11. Q: rub Dan Tian to pay attention to what?
A: rubbing the dantian regardless of stool sitting style or disk sitting style, both hands together, but the stool sitting style two hands forward when rubbing like a rope, but this is the hands and shins also, the work is still in the dantian part. The same applies to the Plate Sitting Style;
12. Q: How to spray the dantian
A: The spraying of the dantian is also one of the technical movements. Inhale when you cross your arms in front of your chest and exhale when you push forward. Push forward when the two palms are separated are five fingers at first open, palm forward, two thumbs about half a foot to eight inches apart. This style because it is also a strike action, so the two palms out of the palm depends on the other side of the body type.
13. Q: lifting the boat field left and right hands raised, the two toes up how to breathe?
A: This situation regardless of the left and right hand which hand raised, toe paws up, we must hate the sky without a handle, hate the ground without the ring of the power of the intention. That is, when the hand is raised upward, like a ring on the ground is held by me, I can pick up the ground; hand downward like the sky has a handle by me to grab the falling force can pull down the sky as well. Inhale when you raise your hands high, and exhale when you strike down. 'This action is something that people practicing Xingyiquan in general should practice more and more, and practice more and more to produce more work. Just like Li Yuanba striking the sky with a hammer, practicing shaking the absolute power, the hammer falls from the sky, and to catch it, you need to have a smooth falling power.
14. Nine form is done whether to close the form? How to close?
Answer: several movements of the internal gong method, if only the first four movements, do not close, can be finished and engaged in other work. Only from the fifth style hit the dantian start, after practicing to: "decision" or "tiger pounce" and issued a yelp this is the thunder. People are like a machine, exercise every day, luck is to cultivate the body well, or once the energy is exhausted, like a broken machine useless. Therefore, exercise is a kind of invisible savings, is to save human function, life; maintain human physical ability, long life, in order to achieve the unity of man and heaven, prolong life such a purpose.
Hunyuan Gong originates from Yiquan Qigong, and Yiquan Qigong originates from Yiquan.
Mr. Wang Xiangzhai, the patriarch of Xingyiquan, studied under Mr. Guo Yunshen, the master of Xingyiquan, when he was a teenager, and received his true heritage. Later, Mr. Wang took Xingyiquan as the basis and established Yiquan by learning from others.
Mr. Wang Anping studied under Mr. Wang Binkui, the senior apprentice of Mr. Wang, in 1958. Through his dedicated training, Mr. Wang gained a deep understanding of the essence of Ideal Boxing, and was unique in his techniques and in his ability to maintain health and cure illnesses. Mr. Wang Anping has studied boxing with great care and understanding, and through scientific exercise methods, he has been able to combine qigong, wugong and supernormal capabilities in one. So Mr. Wang Anping from nineteen seventy-two onwards all hair boxing qigong named in the country to pass on the power to teach students.
Hunyuan Pile is the foundation of Yiquan Qigong, is the root of the cultivation of the Great Dao, the Great Dao encompasses everything, and nature, society, life, and so on, all things round. In 1996, Mr. Wang Anping changed the name of Yiquan Qigong to Hunyuan Gong with the word "Hunyuan".
Characteristics of Chinese Hunyuan Gong: simple and easy to perform; no deviation; fast work; natural breathing; exercise as a whole; a variety of functions; a wide range of treatments, medical effect is remarkable.
Hunyuan Gong practitioners are more training more benefit, less training less benefit. The effect of its practice is related to the practitioner's practice time, not like other fraudulent gong method, you have no effect because you are not sincere or not enough enlightenment.
