First, Xingyiquan has eight requirements: top, buckle, circle, poison, embrace, hang, bend and stand. Each one must correspond to three parts of the human body, with a total of 24 rules.
Standing in a fist, these eight must be how, so save strength and let the enemy and I are at a loss, which is also a unique five elements boxing.
Three tops: on the top of the head, there is a towering male; The top of the hand has the power to push the mountain; The tip of the tongue has the ability to roar lions and swallow elephants.
Three buttons: the shoulder button, and then the force reaches the elbow; Knee and hip buttons make the whole body angry; When the hands and feet are clenched, the strength of the whole body is thick.
Three circles: the back is round, and its strength destroys the body; If the chest is round, then the strength of the elbows is full; If the tiger's mouth is round, it will bravely publicize it.
Three poisons: disgusting as angry cats catching mice; Eye poison is like a hungry eagle watching a rabbit; Hands are as poisonous as hungry tigers.
Three hugs: Dantian hugs, and the gas is not scattered; Dare to embrace the body, not afraid of things; Hold the ribs with your elbow, so you won't go in and out. (The other one is called three sensitivities, namely, heart sensitivity, eye sensitivity and hand sensitivity. )
Third, subsidence: if the gas sinks, the gas will fall into the abdomen; Shoulders droop, and shoulders can destroy elbows; Elbows will ruin your hands.
Trilogy: the two arms should be bent with rich curves; Two shares are suitable for music and strong musicality; The wrist should be bent and the curve should be strong.
Sanli: the neck is strong and the waist is strong; Knees are stiff and elastic.
-Excerpt from the notes of Li Zhongxuan's Lost Wulin.
2. Nine elements
Three bows: the back bow and the governor vessel rise; Two elbows and two bows are coming out soon; I'm in a good position.
Three droops: the shoulders should droop and the elbows should run through; Elbows should hang down to the position of hands; The spirit should droop and hide in the abdomen.
Three buttons: chest button to open the chest, fine rise; Yin-qi descending and pulse dredging; Hands, feet, fingers, buckles, strong body.
Three laps: the back shape is round and exquisite; The physical condition is round and rotating; The tiger's mouth is round, hard and soft.
Three tops: there is a towering hero overhead; Have the power to destroy mountains; There is a roaring lion on the tongue.
Three swings: two elbows should swing to protect the chest; Empty body shape; Knees swing and rotate well.
Sanli: standing neck, downright, thoroughness; If the potential is straight, it will penetrate the four tips; Four clouds shaking all over.
Three hugs: the courage to participate in the event; The qi of dantian is not scattered; It's not complicated to get in and out with your ribs on your arms.
Up and down: up and down, down and down, up and down, down and down. Rise is the beginning of the horizontal, stop is the end of the horizontal, fall is the beginning of the smooth, turn is the end of the smooth, rise and fall, four words are clear.
Eight theories
Physically: lean forward and lean back, the left side is inclined to the right, the right side is inclined, the right side is inclined, the yin is yang, and the yang is good.
On the shoulders: the essence is extreme, the shoulders should droop, the elbows should be new, the gestures should follow, the physical strength should reach the hands, and the shoulders and elbows should be destroyed.
Upper humerus: the left humerus extends forward, and the right humerus has ribs, which are curved but not curved, straight but not straight, and curved into an arch, and then returned to the square after use.
Hands: The right hand is in the ribs, the left hand is Qi Xin, and both hands are yin and yang. Stretch forward hard and move easily, so the situation should be quick.
On the finger: the five fingers are divided into different parts, which are shaped like hooks. The tiger's mouth is round and open, with rigidity and softness. If the force is to reach the finger, it must be sought in a sense.
On the thigh: the left thigh is in front, and the right thigh is propped up, which seems straight and not straight, like a bow and not a bow. If you advance, you will exert your strength, and your thighs will return to the bow.
Hiking: the left foot is straight out, the right foot is inclined out, the footwork is not chaotic, the front heel is facing the tibia, the feet are rotated, and the toes are locked.
On Valley: Gu Dao mentioned that the four-pointed qi flows, the two beards rotate, and the buttocks are fleshy, which changes with you and is quick and agile.
As the saying goes: nine needs and eight arguments should be clear, and life and change have magical powers. Scholars understand mystery, mind pictographic.
Four suggestions
Tendon tip: the claw is the tendon tip, the fingers of the hands and feet work, the hands grasp the feet, the strength is tight, the claws reach, and there is much to be done.
Bone tip: teeth are bone tips and are useful in bones. As powerful as a tiger when cutting teeth. The function of teeth is daunting.
Blood tip: hair is blood tip, anger rushes to coach, blood wheel turns, spirit is brave, although it is slightly hairy, it can shake mountains.
Meat tip: The tongue is the tip of the meat. When rolled up, it will reduce qi, make eyes firm, strengthen abdomen, strengthen tendons and enrich viscera.
On the saying: To study the microscopic principle of the Four Pointes, we should be brave enough to destroy mountains. If these four words are mysterious and wonderful, then the meaning of God will be radiant.
Exercise your bones and muscles: If you want to be healthy, exercise your bones and muscles first. Bone is born in essence, but it is connected with tendons, and the expansion and contraction of tendons will increase strength. Heavy bones will make bone marrow full (bone marrow is the essence of human beings). Flexibility of tendons and flexibility of bones are all exercises. The head is the head of the five yang, and the tail is the door of the governor. The head should be on the top, the tail in the middle, thin and transparent, into the mud pill (mind), the back chest (referring to the back muscles and chest muscles) is round and open, and the gas sinks in the abdomen (lower abdomen). Put your arms together, exhale from the shoulder socket, open and close, stretch, and reach the center of your finger (which means that your palm is a tendon). Such as its shape, longan essence, powerful claws, tiger sitting, shaking his head and glaring, sitting on his hips and knees. The waist turns like a wheel and the body has a leveling line; Empty feet, grasping the ground like a drill; The two strands are shaped like bows and advance and retreat in a chain; When the bone river rotates (such as the rotating shaft of a machine), the tendons are stretched like bowstrings; If the body is full of energy, the hand is like an arrow; Sports like spinning, hands like tearing cotton; Strong hands and feet, strong teeth. Shake the mind, fiddle with the tail at first, make the dragon move the sky, cut the tiger out of the forest, jump into the air, and walk like a cat, which makes this element wonderful.

On the "Twenty-four Methods" of Xingyiquan
In recent years, Mr. Wang published an article on the essence of Xingyiquan in Wu Soul, expounding the essence and significance of Xingyiquan's practice, body and application, which can be described as the eyes and ears of people after waking up, making boxers eyes and ears like clouds. Mr. Li Zhongxuan's article is unpretentious, pointing to the essence, essence and truth of Xingyiquan's practice, moves and application. It is really a masterpiece about boxing in recent years. However, Mr. Li Zhongxuan is old, and I heard that he wants to collect his pens to support his life. However, the theory of "Twenty-four School of Law" was put forward, but it did not continue, which worried readers who wanted to quench their thirst. What are the contents of the "Twenty-four Laws of School"? I am anxious to get it, but I don't want to wait any longer.
I fully understand the reader's thirst for knowledge. It is an unshirkable responsibility of people to be anxious and help others. However, Mr. Li Zhongxuan studied Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan, and his knowledge and military art were quite profound. Its desire to hold a pen is not described. The theoretical content of "Twenty-four Methods of School" will naturally arouse readers' anxiety. Therefore, I take the liberty to discuss the contents of the "Twenty-four Laws of Schools" to interpret the hunger and thirst of the readers. In other words, "small discussion" is not everyone's talk, but just a glimpse. If you want to discuss it, please correct me at home and abroad to prove the source.
The Origin of the Theory of "Twenty-four Laws"
The proofreading of "Twenty-four proofreading laws" means correction. That is the meaning of "adjustment" now. Twenty-four methods are eight-character tactics of Xingyiquan, including top, buckle, circle, sensitivity, holding, hanging, bending and standing. There are three kinds of eight-character tactics. Take Chiang Kai-shek's "Mixing Form and Meaning" for example. This is the origin of the theory of twenty-four laws. The twenty-four methods of the school are: "twenty-four ways to adjust posture." This is the way to stand. Only when the twenty-four methods are done correctly at all times can they conform to the "posture" of boxing attack and defense. Ordinary people don't have the posture after the "Twenty-four Fapai", so they don't have the offensive and defensive ability of traditional boxing. This is the difference in "posture" between boxing practitioners and ordinary people. The twenty-four methods of this school are the rules of entry and the basic content of body posture. Qian Xianyun said: "When the pile method and boxing ring are fixed, what is the character?" So save your strength and make the enemy helpless, and so do five elements boxing holders. This theory shows that the revision of the twenty-four laws is the content that Xingyiquan School pays special attention to.
However, the contents of the twenty-four laws are also found in the pictographic boxing, but the basic eight words are not the same. The eight words mentioned by Mr. Guo Dian in the book The True Solution of Ideographic Boxing are: bow, hang, buckle, circle, top, swing, stand and hug.
These eight characters are different from those of Xingyi Boxing Gate. If there are three kinds, they are all 24 laws. Twenty-four laws will be eighteen laws, and six laws are different. Take a closer look at the explanations of Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan. Some words have different details. In this way, the content of the 24 laws is different. Simply put, this is the result. Careful scrutiny is actually the same. Just from the focus, the purpose is one, that is, to become the only way to "Tao" by amending the rules of the 24 laws. This is the origin of the theory of the Twenty-four Laws of the School, and it is also the important significance of its practice, style and application. Recognizing the essence of the school's twenty-four laws theory, we will see what its content is. For the sake of comprehensiveness, this paper expounds it as comprehensively as possible with Mr. Guo Dian's pictographic boxing as the main character and Xingyiquan's pictographic boxing as the auxiliary character.
Similarities and differences between Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan
Xingyiquan is nothing more than pictographic meaning, that is, taking the spirit of twelve kinds of animals and establishing five elements boxing's five elements. Xingyiquan with the same name. That is, there is form outside and meaning inside. Although the name is a combination of five elements and twelve shapes, it is all-encompassing. If you can concentrate on playing with rope, you will get the theory of metaplasia, the way of restraint, internal and external harmony, consistency of mind and nature, and long-term exertion. Once it is suddenly connected, it has its own miraculous effect. Gai also has the function of washing pulp, especially so.
Xingyiquan is a family and a family work. Using the innate truth, we can cultivate ourselves with images, get close to the body, stay away from everything, and interpret changes, which is wonderful, conveying its meaning internally and sending its image externally. Image is caused by meaning, and meaning precedes image. Therefore, the pictographer means "sincere outside the shape". Covered with images, it is not true at all, and it does have real meaning unintentionally. The law says, "It is inconceivable to have an image, intentionally or unintentionally." . This is beyond the understanding of shallow creators.
Although the above two discourses of Xingyi Boxer and Pictographic Boxer have different arguments, they are all like pictographic characters and knowing characters in six books, and their essence and wonderful meaning are the same. Because "Boxing can embody everything without leaving a backward path", there are countless arguments. Throughout the theory of traditional boxing school, there is no exception.
The above-mentioned wonderful theories of Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan are all based on the wonderful purpose of "health and smoothness" and are the same. That is to say, there is no objection to the principle of "2 1 12", that is, dryness strengthens internal qi and Kun Shun's appearance. Further understanding, with the aim of "3 1 13", these two schools are both "moral bodies with unified spirit, internal qi and appearance; The listening of the first and the third Yuan Xuan, the movement of information processing, the movement of hue, the presence or absence, the absence and the use of Tao. "If we expand our understanding, all the sects and kinds of boxing in traditional boxing stand out for this purpose. It's just that the emphasis and density of reasoning and law are different in the discourses of various schools. Knowing this, we will have a wide range of significance when we understand the contents of the "twenty-four methods collation" of the "eight-character formula". In other words, the "twenty-four methods collation" has practical significance for everyone who practices the traditional boxing attack and defense methods. We should initially change ourselves with the rules of the 24 laws and establish the basis of the "dharma body" posture.
The essence of the specific content of the twenty-four laws
To explain the essence of the specific content of the Twenty-four Methods, we must compare the eight-character formula of Xingyiquan with the eight-character formula of Xingyiquan, so that we can discuss and explain it clearly for the reference of boxing practitioners. Otherwise, you are partial to any statement, which is incomplete. Therefore, only by recording the original text item by item can we discuss it clearly and explain it clearly. Take the eight-character formula as the key link and the twenty-four laws as the goal, so that the key link is open. According to the original records, the first article used Mr. Bi Dian's eight-character formula, the second article used Mr. Jiang's eight-character formula, and then I discussed it. The essence of this point will be explained in sequence below.
Top-word tactics
Xue: Because it has a towering hero on its head, the ability to push mountains in its hands and the arrogance of roaring lions on its tongue, it is called "Three Tops".
Jiang: What are the top three? The head (posterior bone) is up, and there is a towering male. The head is the master of the whole body, and the top of the head makes the three customs easy to pass, so the kidney qi reaches the mud pill to nourish nature. If the palm pushes the mountain, it will penetrate the whole body and reach the limbs. The tip of the tongue has the ability to roar lions and swallow elephants, which can guide the rising kidney qi to descend to the abdomen to consolidate life, which is called "three tops"
The top word of the top word tactic has the meaning of stopping here, and the internal qi rises to Baihui, which is called the soaring hero. The head is a genius, the head is the top, and the internal qi is called the top. The so-called "tail in the top, light body and drooping head". "Boxing Classics" said: "If the head is in danger, the neck is like moving a tree." . This is the formula of the word "top". The so-called "pushing the back of the head upward" means standing up, or putting your head on Baihui point. Baihui put his head on it, his head is straight, and there are no lazy bones when he lifts it. As the saying goes, "A healthy head is the general leader of the whole body." Therefore, "hanging the head" is the first method of body adjustment.
There is a rule above the hand, and the hand has hands, especially the attacker's elbow is vertically close to the knee, and the elbow cannot cross the knee. At this time, the inner strength of the hand should reach the top of the fist or palm. At this time, the hand should be as powerful as pushing a stone pillar to hit people. This is the essence of pushing mountains with bare hands. Only those who are full of qi and reach the four tips can push the mountain with their bare hands.
On the tongue, the tongue licks the palate, which means that the tongue is placed and licks the palate, and the throat is smooth without exertion. It is called the ability of roaring lions to swallow elephants, which describes the image of smooth throat and smooth qi. It can also make the internal qi enter the abdomen and enhance the vitality.
The "three tops" theory is the same in both schools. There is just no "waist top" content. The waist is a bow. When issuing the number, you should "bow your head and push your hand" and take the waist to push your hand. Tai Chi Chuan emphasized this point very clearly. Mr. Guo, a boxer of Bagua Palm, said in the Song Formula: "The back is as tight as the bottom of the basket, and the palm can be freely inserted to reverse the bow." It is about the posture of "bending the handle to the top" and "waist top"
Deductive formula
Xue: When holding the chest and opening the chest, the vital energy rises and the yin energy drops, which makes the pulse smooth and the fingers of the hands and feet buckle all over the body, so it is called "three buckles".
Jiang: What about the three buttons? When the shoulder is buckled, the chest is wide and the strength reaches the elbow. When the hands and feet are buckled, the strength reaches, the pile steps are thick, the teeth are buckled and the bones and muscles are tightened, which is called "three buckles".
This formula is like putting the bowl face down on the table. If the back is round, the chest is flat, if the shoulders are buckled, the chest is deficient and the abdomen is less, and the gas sticks to the back, just like a button. If the palm is slightly concave, the back of the hand will buckle. If the foot is empty, the instep will be buckled. It is the secret of "Yang dispersing and Yin gathering". That is, "the sky is round and the place is round." Pay attention to the adjustment, don't use force.
Therefore, the shoulder buckle is conducive to yang rising and yin falling, and the hands and feet are buckled back, which is conducive to the operation of internal qi, so the whole body is vigorous and powerful, and the shape is also necessary.
However, there is the theory of Xingyiquan. Although it is said that the teeth should be buckled, they are also slightly closed and not mandatory, so as to avoid slip of the tongue, avoid excessive injury when being hit, and avoid biting the tongue. Teeth are bones, and they don't come loose. A whole is like a rope bundle, which can be put away at will. This is the meaning of tightening bones and muscles.
Round character formula
Xue: The back is round to promote the body, the body is round, the rotation is through, and the tiger's mouth is round and rigid, so it is called "three circles".
Jiang: What about the three circles? If the back is round and the strength destroys the body, the tail is straight, the spirit penetrates the top, the chest is round, the elbow is strong enough, the heart is slightly closed, the breathing is smooth, the tiger's mouth is round and brave, so the hand has a wrapping force, which is called "three circles".
This round formula means perfection. Shoulder and back should be round, that is, from the lower edge of scapula to Dazhui point, between the shoulders. Because the shoulder sinks and pulls back, the air sticks to the back, forming a round image, especially the 24 jiaji points between the two shoulder blades must be full, which is the scene of a round shoulder and back. The waist should be straight up and down from the lower edge of the scapula. If the waist is as round as the bottom of the pot, it is a scene of sick boxing, not a round posture. Therefore, the normal back posture is beneficial to the back strength. But also has the effect of promoting the body with essence. This is precisely the role of the strength of the back and the bottom of the meat. Only when the back and shoulders are done correctly will the tail stand upright and the spirit be extremely natural.
You can watch kung fu without a cloak. Only by rotating and changing can we reach the artistic realm of immortals. Being able to help others is the usage of "pi".
The tiger's mouth should be round, which means the position between the index finger root and the thumb root, which means it should be round, not round. A circle is fickle, and potential energy can reach your fingertips. It is the essence to combine rigidity with softness and be brave in publicity.
The front chest should be round, that is, the back should be round and the shoulders should be buckled. How can the chest be round? The sky is round, the back is round, and the chest is square. How can the chest be round? How can the chest be rounded when it is attached to the back? The elbows are full of strength, which is the shape of sinking shoulders and lowering elbows, and the strength of supporting elbows on shoulders is horizontal. What does it have to do with the bust ring? Therefore, it is doubtful that the chest should be round!
The heart socket is slightly closed and breathing is smooth. Boxing formula says: the abdomen is relaxed, and the heart socket is the wrist on the abdomen, showing a sinking trend. How can I collect it a little? Moreover, the waist and navel, one yang and one yin, yang scattered and yin gathered, should also be slightly closed navel. The heart sinks into the abdomen, the chest is empty, and the breathing is natural and smooth. Therefore, it is also doubtful that the heart is slightly closed.
Hold a word tactic
Xue: The courage involved is not chaotic, the qi in the belly is not scattered, and the arms are not complicated, so it is called "three hugs".
Jiang: What about the three hugs? Known as the "three hugs", holding your belly, holding your breath outside, you must attack the enemy, hold your mind, have a master when you meet the enemy, stay the same when you meet the enemy, and the two sides are deadlocked, with smooth access and peace when you meet the enemy.
Holding your breath in the abdomen means not to inflate your lower abdomen. People who hold their breath with a ball in their bellies are calm and sensitive. This is one of them. In addition, the internal qi moves throughout the body to assist in defense. Because of the use of internal qi: "It must be divided into two aspects: sinking the qi to fill the abdomen and getting through the bones and muscles." Holding your breath in the abdomen is "proud" and you won't go. As the old saying goes, "When the spirit turns, the qi becomes solid". On the contrary, gas-solid is the image of God, which will never go away. Only by sinking your breath into your abdomen, refining and gathering your breath can you hold your abdomen, and you know how to practice!
Two humerus support the ribs, and some say that two elbows support the ribs, only wrapping the forehand humerus, with the elbows pointing down; The ulna of the back of the hand is closed and the tip of the elbow is down. It's just a matter of two elbows clamping the ribs. The rib is the socket of the elbow joint, and the elbow joint comes out from here and comes back here. Getting in and out is so simple and uncomplicated, and it really has the wonderful use of offensive and defensive changes. In the eight taboo songs, it is said that "punch with your arms raised high", that is to say, "your arms are not shouldered".
Hugging two ribs and hugging the chest is a purpose, that is, the essence of being rich after being weak first. This is precisely the posture of "threatening to express one's intention, qi trumps god's guidance, and it is one without bones and muscles". The threatened qi is handed over to the head, becoming a strong trend, and the true qi rises above the head. At the beginning, the strength was arrogant and strong. Under threat, the true qi is delivered to the foot, so it is pleasant to meet the ground and be prepared. The true qi falls to the foot and moves with it. Internal qi breathes and sucks in the abdomen, rising and falling, and is always under threat. "The two ribs to embrace, is conducive to the rise and fall of the internal gas, so in and out of chaos, no danger in case of an enemy. This is the posture of "flat belly and cooked side by side". That is, the chest and abdomen are on the same plane. Just watching kung fu. If the belly of the navel is swollen, it is a sick fist that does not know the essence of the navel. This is not conducive to the offensive and defensive application of "dodge exhibition"
Grasp your heart, and your heart is the master of your body. But what is a heart hug? Namely; Qi comes with the heart, and the heart goes through the heart. Keep your mind open, your breath is comprehensive, your ability is self-reliant, and your movements are light and agile. The heart can look at itself, which is called holding the heart. Only when you meet the enemy, open-minded and independent, can you constantly cope with its changes. That is, the law of taking advantage of the trend remains unchanged, so as to cope with various changes.
Courage is the master of the twelve generals. This is also called having the courage to decide what to do, waiting for Yang to get angry and wait for success step by step. It is also called courage to wrap yourself in a cylinder with aura effect around you and be bound by your own defense technology. With this thing to hold your body, you will be very sensitive and listen quickly. Therefore, if you can predict the future, you will naturally be ahead of others. Naturally, there will be no hurry and confusion.
As can be seen from this article, it is also three hugs with different contents. However, the purpose is different. Boxing practitioners must be able to view the law from the perspective of literature in order to fully understand it. If you can become Jian Zhen again, you must be proficient in Kung Fu. He has become an expert in boxing. If we can achieve "unity of knowing and doing", we will become a master of boxing.
Vertical formula
Xue: Shoulders should droop through elbows, elbows should droop to reach hands, and qi should droop to protect the abdomen, so it is called "three droops".
Jiang: What is Sanwa? When the qi sags, the qi drops into the abdomen, and the body is as steady as a mountain. When the shoulders droop, the arms are long and live. When the shoulder is broken before the elbow droops, the two arms are round and can stabilize both sides, which is called "three droops".
Hanging down means sinking. Careful sinking into the abdomen is the right way to practice, because it can refine the spirit and nourish my true qi. Take the secret of "holding your breath and forgetting your words, lowering your heart and doing nothing".
If you sink into your abdomen, you will feel like a tumbler, so your posture is stable and you are like Mount Tai.
As mentioned above, there are two kinds of discussions on the method of sinking the abdomen, and the practitioners must practice at the same time.
Shoulders should be heavy, that is, the joints of shoulders should be loose, shoulders should droop naturally, and arms should be light and round, so arms should be long. Power can penetrate the elbow.
If the elbow joint is loose and heavy, the humerus will turn. In addition to the strength of the hand, the elbow can also support and protect the side abdomen.
Therefore, the image of sinking shoulders and hanging elbows has its own state of going all out and being ready. It also has the unique function of not forcing people with both arms. Use your hands or use your hands. Your arms are like snakes.
Straight character formula
Xue: It is called "San Ting" because it is strong and full of soul-stirring power.
Ginger: When the neck is stiff, the head is upright, the spine is stiff, the force reaches four points, and the whole body is inflated; If your knees are stiff, you will feel relaxed and happy. If a tree takes root, it is called "three rigidities".
The essence of the formula is to stretch the muscles, pull out the skin joints of the bones, and open them everywhere. That is, the shape is short of breath, and the gas is long and strong. In other words, it is not clumsy with God. That is, the internal gas firmly fills the gap between joints.
The neck bones are opened one by one, and the essence is filled one by one, which runs through Baihui and has its own artistic realm of kung fu. My neck muscles are weak, and I can't seem to see kung fu.
The hips below the waist are relaxed, the upper spine is opened one after another, and the internal qi is filled one after another until the Dazhui. At this time, the waist can be firm and beyond the reach of the whip. Then the strength reached four points.
The joints of the whole body can be opened and the internal qi can be filled, indicating that the whole body is shaking and the body is like a cloud nine. If the inside and outside are one, the spirit is long and bright, then the spirit is flat and happy, with deep roots and no lazy bones. Such as strong knees, steady and fast steps, strong wrists and strong penetration. However, we must know that the formula of "Ting" is the result of the combination of inner spirit, appearance and rigidity and softness, and it is a theory of artistic skills, not a solution of "strength". This, boxing practitioners must distinguish clearly, in order to be wise!
Bow and arrow tactics
Among the pictographic boxing methods discussed by Mr. Xue Dian are: the spine bows and the pulse rises, the arms bow quickly, and the two bows advance and retreat freely, so it is called "three bows".
This theory is the same as Huang San's three-bow theory of "body back bow, arm bow, leg bow and foot bow", but different from Chen Pu, Upp and Tai Ji Chuan's "five-bow theory". In fact, the essence of three-bow theory and five-bow theory is the same.
However, we should know the relationship between the root, handle and tip of archery. The root should be solid, the top should be top, and the tip should be law. All five bows are like this. The content of the eight-character formula has been done, and I have prepared three bows or five bows.
Pendulum formula
This is also the pictographic boxing method discussed by Mr. Xue Dian: two elbows should swing out the chest protector, the figure should swing empty, and the knees should rotate well, so it is called "three swings".
In ancient times, there was a saying of "posing three tricks", including stepping, waving and posing. A pendulum is a pendulum.
Swing your elbows to protect your ribs and chest.
The body shape should be swinging, and swinging the body shape can avoid the combination of reality and reality. That is, in French, it means "partial flash and empty fees". Make the opponent's boxing potential fall into the void.
Knee swing, footwork to wipe the floor, rotation changes are well-informed, round but not stagnant.
In fact, the content of the above three pendulum is the content of "putting out three points" in the way of speaking, posture and footwork.
Sensitive word formula
Sensitive words must be the way Xingyiquan said: What about three sensitive people? Be sensitive in your heart. If an angry raccoon catches a mouse, you can improvise. Your eyes should be sensitive. Catch a rabbit with a hungry eagle, and your hands should be sensitive. If you catch a hungry tiger with a sheep, you can take others first. It's called "San Min".
Sensitive people mean alertness and agility.
If you have a sensitive mind and the ability to know people, you can improvise. Those who know what it is are naturally agile, that is, those who know what it is know what it is.
If you want to be sensitive, you must have the ability to blindfold your eyes, and only a smart person can have the foresight to see what has not been done and know what it is going to do. That is the essence of the pre-inspection machine.
Be quick with your hands, as fast as a tiger. You can't escape without seeing your claws, so you take the initiative to attack.
Can do these three points, is called "three sensitive".
Flexion tactics
This is also the way to discuss Xingyiquan: who is a trilogy, with two arms bent and a bow like a half moon, so it is rich; Knees should be bent, bending for half a month, and the strength will be thick; If you want to bend your wrist, it will be hard to bend it for half a month; Because of its flexibility and constant strength, it is called "trilogy".
As the saying goes, "seek straightness in the music, save it and then send it." This formula tells the method of "going" in the specific part.
Bend your arms, that is, bend your arms like a bow, such as a half moon, so that you can attack and defend freely.
Knees should be bent, that is, knees should be bent to sit on hips. If you bend for half a month, your gait should be stable, flexible and thick.
If you want to bend your wrist, the strength can be just right and you can gather and disperse at will.
Concluding remarks
This is the end of the essence of the "twenty-four teachings" contained in the "eight-character formula" of Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan. The content of this "eight-character formula" includes all the contents of practice, body and use, that is, the content of "the ultimate use of Jiande body and Tao", which is quite rich.
