An overview of Emei martial arts qigong

Emei Wushu has a long history, and ranks as one of the three major schools in China along with Shaolin and Wudang. Emei Wushu is rich in Qigong.

Since ancient times, Emei Wushu has paid great attention to the cooperation of Qigong. Boxing proverb says: external practice "fighting" refers to foreign kung fu in boxing, and fighting refers to internal practice. Only by practicing both inside and outside can we achieve the "magic power" of Emei Wushu. Magic power is based on qi, which is used by god and is superior in kung fu.

Emei qigong is also rich in content, that is, Shu people in previous dynasties also practiced medicine. There is a saying in Zhong Shu's boxing: If you don't study medicine after learning martial arts, you will always be a fool, and you will regard medical way as one of the contents of martial arts. In this way, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (including qigong theory and health preservation methods) is integrated into Emei Wushu, thus forming a unique Emei Wushu qigong.

At present, the "internal strength" of Emei Wushu is usually divided into seven categories: "southern, tonic, static, qi, softness, lightness and Zen"

Nangong: "Shenquan" is the most exquisite martial art of Emei Sect. It is a spontaneous martial art induced by spells such as seal cutting, incense burning and worship, and the statue of a silent teacher, forming a unique spontaneous martial art of Emei Sect.

Supplement: or "fighting", pay attention to various breathing methods (eating, swallowing, breathing, luck, cavity gas, etc. ), and cooperate with "put a bucket on the shelf" (that is, all kinds of aerobics, gloves, etc.). ) to exercise, fight hard inside and strengthen your bones and muscles outside. Golden bell jar, iron cloth shirt, iron tablet man, Prince Gong, King Kong hammer and many other hard qigong belong to this category. . . . Wait a minute.

Static Kung Fu: Static Kung Fu in Emei martial arts mainly refers to the forms of martial arts practiced inside and outside Gong Zhuang, except for rest, breathing and breathing. Such as bow and arrow pile, machine pile, riding pile, sparrow earthworm pile, golden rooster independent pile, plum blossom pile, triangular pile, etc. . . Wait a minute. For example, "riding a horse" is well practiced. When inhaling, the whole body accumulates strength, and when exhaling, it punches and practices repeatedly. All martial arts schools in Emei attach great importance to this kind of "static work" of practicing qi and strength. For example, in every martial art in Emei, Gong Zhuang has high requirements when practicing martial arts, requiring the integration of inside and outside, the combination of three points, and keeping up with the meaning and shape.

Qigong: Qigong in Emei Wushu has two meanings. First, it refers to the inner cultivation of "understanding mystery, transcending life and death", so that you can be calm and brave when you get cold feet, which is equivalent to the current quality training and psychological training. Secondly, it refers to the boxing in Emei Wushu, in which qigong (internal strength) practice is very important. For example, the "Songxi Neijia Boxing" in the middle of Shu emphasizes the combination of rigidity and softness, static braking and luck-oriented, and brute force is the practice method on the field, similar to Taiji Bagua. Another example is Tai Ji Chuan in Emei, which is different from Tai Chi in the north, but it is the same in flexibility, rationality and concentration. In recent years, many qigong guidance methods are derived from some Emei martial arts, and its essence is nothing more than the qigong part of Emei martial arts qigong. Therefore, as the saying goes, fast boxing is boxing, and slow boxing is kung fu, which means fast boxing is "boxing" and slow practice is "qigong".

Flexibility: the skill of the disk. Emei Wushu attaches great importance to the softness of joints, muscles and ligaments. Therefore, when practicing martial arts, every flexibility training is combined with breathing, forming a famous "disc skill" in Emei martial arts, such as "Ten disc skills" and "Emei disc skill Yijinjing". Because it is best to start training at an early age, it is more difficult to achieve results when you are older, so it is also called "childish skills." Its training scope includes head and neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, waist, buttocks, buttocks, ankles, toes and other joints and muscle ligaments. It must be explained that Emei's soft work (disk work) is not a simple flexibility training like gymnastics, but an "internal strength" form that strictly cooperates with breathing and breathing. If you are soft and boneless, you can penetrate the eye of a needle when you open and close your hand, and breathe peacefully, serenely and naturally from big to quiet, like a puppet.

Lightness Skill: Lightness Skill has a high attainments in the cold weapon era, because at that time, actual combat emphasized "flying over the eaves and walls, scurrying and running", such as going up the house vertically, flying over the eaves and walls, jumping over the stream with cloud legs and so on. At present, some people think that lightness skill is cruel and mysterious, and even doubt whether lightness skill really exists, which is really inappropriate. When drinking, soldiers should make great efforts in this respect, otherwise they will suffer big losses in actual combat. After practice, the two men can climb over the wall in a blink of an eye.

The lightness skills in Emei Wushu include thousands of feet, bunker jumping, vertical pole, iron claw chain, rope with a hundred feet, and stepping on eggs. The most common training method is to "wear iron tiles" or "wrap sandbags", that is, wrap lead tiles or sandbags weighing half to five kilograms on each leg to walk and jump. The second is the "vertical bunker", which carries lead tiles or sandbags in a bunker about three feet in diameter. When you are lucky, jump up and gradually deepen the bunker. This method is easy to say, but it is difficult to stick to it. In addition, some of Emei's lightness skills are also integrated into the forms of luck and pranayama, such as Ma Jia and mantra.

Zen: Also known as Gong Xuan, Emei Zen usually refers to some unique skills. Such as the highest day palm, Zen Kung Fu, Eighteen Points, Five Poisons and Evil Wind Palm, Sword Fairy, etc., some of them are real kung fu, although they are rare. For example, there is a qigong master who specializes in "hard-earing" and can hang a big bucket on his ears with fine hemp rope and dance and spin. This is necessary. Another example is the "frog skill" of Qigong master Guo, whose fingers touch the ground in a "push-up" shape. With luck, the whole body jumps off the ground like a frog and can jump dozens of times in a row, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. These mysterious stunts enrich Emei Qigong and make it colorful.
