The so-called washing medicine is to wash the body with soup medicine to help strengthen the bones and muscles. Taking medicine and rubbing are both internal and external. The so-called "foreign capital is used for rubbing, and domestic capital is used for medicine". Kneading, that is, massage, is mainly between the heart and the navel. The membrane between the heart and navel is not easy to rub, so beat it with a pestle. For details, please refer to his films and kneading methods. This kneading method and the explanation of fascia are also unknown to Taoism. "Like a thorn dense truths" also added comments to explain the cloud:
Yijinjing training is the first, and membrane training is mainly based on gas refining. But many people don't know that this membrane is not a lipid membrane, but a fascia membrane. Lipid membrane, things in the cavity. Fascia, exoskeleton also. Tendons are connected to the bones of limbs, and membranes are wrapped around the bones. Compared with tendon and membrane, membrane is softer than tendon. Meat is better than film, and film is stronger than meat. This membrane is located inside the meat and outside the bone, and it also covers the inner layer of the bone and meat. It looks like this. Those who do this work will make the qi string between the membranes, protect the bones and strengthen the tendons, and combine them into one, which is called sufficient work.
This is the unique achievement and insight of Yijinjing. Before this, the massage method of Tianzhu country had been circulated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. See Taiqing Daolin's Books on Learning from the Scriptures, Essentials of Correcting the Truth by the Legalists of Zhengyi School, Emergency Use, Seven Trillions of Yun Qi, Eight Trillions of Respect for Life, etc., * * * Eighteen potentials. There is also Brahmin Daofa, which is compiled into Wang Zhongqiu's Collection of Life, with 12 sections. Among them, there is a way of playing, but the former only talks about "hitting the back with hands" and the latter only talks about "hitting the back with hands and arms, waist and feet", and there is no such method as "Yijinjing", let alone fascia.
Therefore, it may be said that slapping is the characteristic of Tianzhu massage guidance, and Yijinjing has developed this characteristic.
Massage and slapping are gradually aggravated by rubbing, patting and beating. In addition to mallets, stone bags, pestles and wooden pestles should be added for meat. Use stone bags and pestles between seams. The difference between it and Taoist luck method is that Taoism mainly relies on thinking and luck to let the airflow walk in the second pulse of Ren Du. That's not true. But when rubbing, I pay great attention to the rubbing place. So wherever you rub it, you get to that place with kindness. First rub the front body and the lower navel of the mind. "Working for 200 days, my chest is full of gas and my pulse is full; It should be transported to the back of the ridge to fill the governor's vein. " * * * Working for twelve months.
Moon exercise is a guiding method developed in Song Dynasty, which is said to have originated in Chen Tuan. Siku Quanshu? Taoist "watchmen" call this "the method of moral integrity", which means to exercise according to the solar terms, which is quite popular in the Ming Dynasty. Luo Hongxian's "Immortal Immortal Classic" is called "Four-time Sitting Technique for Treating Diseases and Drawing Tactics". Yijinjing follows the concept of doing exercises on a monthly basis, so there are six items in it, namely, doing exercises in the first month, doing exercises in February, doing exercises in March, doing exercises in April, doing exercises in May, June and August, and doing exercises in September and December.
After this exercise and taking medicine in1February, I have reached the magic and full of energy, but there are still two points to be added:
First, the accumulated gas is only in the chest and back arm, so the gas is only filled in the body and cannot be transported to the hands. Next, you should practice your hands. How to practice? First, still use the method of rubbing, pat down from the shoulder with a stone bag until you rub your fingertips with your hands; Second, it is also washed with medicine; Third, exercise after washing the medicine. First, exert strength, then mix black beans and mung beans in a bucket and insert them by hand to sharpen bones and muscles, similar to the method of practicing iron sand palm in later generations.
The second thing is to learn Li Jia's transportation modes and methods. The whole body accumulates gas, almost like a reservoir. When the water is full, you should learn to use it. This is why there is another article called "Li Jia's transportation method".
This kind of potential method is actually the Eight-Duan Brocade and the Twelve-Duan Brocade, and some versions call it "Twelve Potential of Yijinjing", but it is said to be a Buddhist achievement method:
This achievement comes from meditation, mainly meditation. If you want to do it, you must first close your eyes, firmly grasp your heart, block off other thoughts and clear your mind. Calm down and do it in turn. You must pay attention to it with your mind, not with your shape. If the mind acts rashly, if the mind is distracted, it will be futile and effective. When you start practicing your movements, you must work hard at the same time.
In the early days, all the dynamic guidance of Ba Duan Jin, Twelve Duan Jin and Twenty-four potentials only explained the dynamic posture, and seldom emphasized the cultivation of mind and nature. This is a special case. Later, Xu Wenbi's Timing Fax and Wang Zuyuan's Internal Work Map were both used, and the first style of the twelve-paragraph brocade was "sit with your eyes closed, hold hands and decide to meditate".
It interprets pure mind as meditation, and thinks that all exercises are based on it except Ba Duan Jin, which is a major feature of its theory. Therefore, after the theory of inner strength, a special phrase has been added to "similar secret truth":
At the beginning of life, it was beautiful, but if he is divided by lust and distractions, his true colors will be erased. It is also because the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body are damaged, and the platform obscures wisdom, so it is impossible to be enlightened. Therefore, Master Dharma, who has been a Shaolin monk for nine years, has no desire for eyes and ears. Eyes and ears are not vertical, apes and horses are locked. ..... This article is the first impression of Dharma Buddha, and its method is used in the sentence of "observing the mind" and in the seven sentences of "including its vision".
Keeping in the middle way means "first think about hiding your heart, first think about the middle way, then get rid of all delusions and gradually stay still." Seven sentences, including his eyes, refer to closing his eyes, holding his ears, balancing his nose, closing his mouth, escaping, locking his heart, keeping his limbs still and thinking. It's still time to be quiet. It takes this as a meditation, and it is to aid Buddhism and Buddhism, hoping to reach a new framework of integrating Buddhism and Taoism. Later, Buddhism accepted this sutra as the origin of Buddhist martial arts, because it also had this type of assistance to Buddhism.
Yijinjing is the best example of this trend. It is said that practicing its skills can make people "different in arms, wrists and palms". If you are willing to do it, it will be as hard as a stone. And its fingers can penetrate the cow's stomach, and its palm can break the cow's neck "("Strong inside and hollow inside "). This kind of efficiency is not ordinary courage, but depends on qi. Therefore, it is not strong outside, but strong inside; It's not brave in general, but brave. "In the article" zhuang said:
Internal and external training, strong and weak. Strong is weak, and strong can last. Comparison between inside and outside should not be neglected. Really strong inside and brave outside, strong and brave. ..... There are three things you can do to practice your internal skills: First, keep the doctrine of the mean. Those who keep the middle are good at gathering gas. ..... obey the law, care about including its vision, determine its ear rhyme, even its breath, keep its breath, avoid its physical labor, lock its heart, keep its limbs still and miss it. ..... keep it that way, then the essence of the whole body and God's attention. ..... Second, don't think about it. ..... three days for the whole week. ..... Qi is accumulated, and spirit and blood are attached to it. Keep it, rub it for a long time, gas will only accumulate in the middle without overflowing, gas will accumulate and force will accumulate, gas will be full and force will be self-sufficient.
Internal strength is achieved by maintaining the accumulation of neutral gas. There are three rules, in fact, there is only one method (this method has a starting point of operation, that is, kneading, the so-called "the key to the beginning is to skillfully use it for kneading", see below). Everyone can see that this is Taoist kung fu, and even breathing, closing your mouth, calming down and thinking about your own thoughts. So the emphasis here is on the spirit. The General Theory further states the relationship between Yi Dao and Yin and Yang, and pushes the "Yi" in the Book of Changes to the original meaning of the Book of Changes:
What he said is easy to talk and easy to talk big! Yi is the way of yin and yang, and Yi is change. Although the change of Yi lies in Yin and Yang, the change of Yin and Yang actually lies in people. ..... People should not be possessed by Yin and Yang, but by flesh and blood, but easily possessed by stones.
This is to teach people to master Yin and Yang (so-called "Yin and Yang are mastered by people"). In addition to the defensive gas gathering mentioned above, there are ways to collect yin and yang and cooperate with yin and yang. Take yin and yang, see the method of taking essence, and the cloud says, "the essence of the sun and the moon, the flower of the lunar shadow, and the two gases blend together to transform everything." The ancients were good at swallowing, long and immortal. "This is the way to persuade Taoism, and it is also obvious. See yin-yang collocation method for yin-yang collocation. It is said that the human body is a small yin and yang. " Anyone who suffers from the decline of yang in mortal body suffers from weakness, weakness and fatigue. It is appropriate to rub young men and young women according to law. Cover the female yin with the internal yang, and help me decline with its yang, and vice versa. This is the meaning of regulating yin and yang.
Yijinjing advocates inner strength and pursues bravery. The methods put forward are: hiding qi in the middle, absorbing the qi of the sun and the moon, and borrowing the qi of others. The whole boxing theory doesn't talk about fighting techniques at all, but introversion teaches people to master yin and yang, cultivate vitality, turn weakness into strength and turn decline into strength.
This is completely different from Qi Jiguang's Ji Xiaoxin's Book, Cheng Zongyou's Shaolin Stick Technique and Ren's Top 100 Drugstores and other martial arts books in Jiajing Wanli.
The relationship between this orientation and Taoism is quite obvious. In addition to the Book of Changes, good and bad luck of Yin and Yang, cultivation, gas refining, observation, absorption and swallowing, and the combination of Yin and Yang, it also has eight brocade pieces, which are directly guided by Taoism.
