The formula of "shaking one's head and wagging one's tail to get rid of heart fire" in Ba Duan Jin Kung Fu mainly involves the contraction of the head and neck, waist and abdomen, buttocks, thighs and legs by greatly bending the spine, which not only increases the joint flexibility of the neck, waist, buttocks and lower limbs, but also increases the muscle strength. At the same time, by shaking your head, you can stimulate Dazhui point (Dazhui point is the summary point of Liuyang Meridian) and enhance Yang Qi; Tail flick can stimulate the spine and Mingmen point. "The waist is the kidney fu-organ, and Mingmen penetrates the spine to return to the kidney", the kidney in the five elements belongs to water, and the center of the five elements belongs to fire. Only strengthening the waist and kidney can regulate the heart fire, so stimulating the spine and Mingmen points can enhance the nourishing and moisturizing effect of kidney yin on various organs of the human body, and then achieve the purpose of removing heart fire.

In this shaking and lifting, the functions of calming yin and yang and regulating viscera are achieved. "Shake one's head and wag one's tail to get rid of heart fire" is also a kind of eight-segment brocade of health qigong, which is difficult to move and complicated in direction. It not only involves the lateral flexion, circular rotation and rotation of the spine, but also requires the reverse rotation of both ends of the spine in the state of horse stance. So this formula is not only the difficulty of practice, but also the difficulty of teaching. In this type of teaching, we should not only follow the basic teaching principles (such as teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, step by step and so on). ), but also use different teaching methods (such as decomposition, language guidance, physical touch, etc. ), but also mastered the teaching art of simplifying, using the most concise and vivid language to express complex things. According to my teaching experience, it can be summarized as follows: finding the "six basic points" refers to the position of the cervical end of the spine in the process of fitness qigong, that is, up, right, front, left, back and down. Connecting these points constitutes the basic action route of "shaking your head and wagging your tail to get rid of the heart fire"
