Chapter 19 Teaching He Yuyu the revised version of Wuqinxi
"Yu Yu, before I teach you how to practice kung fu, let me first tell you what the kung fu I want to teach you is called and its ins and outs!
The Kung Fu I want to teach you is called Wu Qin Xi, and it was improved by my master." Duan Hongxuan brought out the fictitious master again!
"Your master? Brother Hongxuan, we have known each other for so long, how come I never knew that you had a master who taught you kung fu? And I have never heard my uncle or aunt mention it before?" He Yuyu was very confused.
"Uh! This master has a long story. Let me tell you briefly first!
When I was a child, I was in poor health and had weak bones. My master was an old Taoist priest who had taken off his Taoist robe. I met him by chance and taught me some physical strengthening skills and medical skills.
You also know that I learn things very quickly. I quickly learned some of the skills taught by my master, and the rest I just spent time practicing on my own.
The master also helped me lay the foundation for my medical skills, and the rest was just a matter of working hard. So the master later left, and I didn’t even know you at that time!
In the following years, the master also came here, but he didn’t want to see outsiders. Our family didn’t deliberately tell others, so you didn’t know.
The master is too old. He can be regarded as my grandfather according to his age. The master passed away a few years ago because he was too old. It is even more impossible for our family to tell others about the master's situation, so you don't know. Don't say 伱
I don’t know, even my godmother doesn’t know!
This is the general situation of the master. Next, I will tell you about this set of Wu Qin Xi that you need to practice.
Wuqinxi is a famous doctor of the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo, who created a set of movements to prevent, cure and strengthen the body by imitating the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane.
, Daoyin exercises to prolong life.
It is a kind of bionic Kung Fu that moves outside and is still inside, seeking stillness while moving, having both movement and stillness, hardness and softness, hardness and softness, practicing inside and outside, and practicing both inside and outside.
Since it imitates the movements of five animals, when exercising, you should pay attention to relaxing your whole body, keeping your mind on your Dantian, breathing evenly, and try to imitate these five animals in appearance and demeanor, so as to achieve the effect of recuperating, strengthening your body, and extending your life.
.
As for these five animals, the first is the tiger, for training the limbs, the second is the deer, for training the neck, the third is the bear, for training the lumbar spine, the fourth is the ape, for training the joints, and the fifth is the bird, for training the chest.
If you practice it several times a day, you will feel relaxed all over your body and your appetite will be increased. If you feel a little uncomfortable one day, then do the Wu Qin Xi several times seriously and move your body until you are sweating, and you will feel much more relaxed immediately.
.
Hua Tuo once said - When the body is unhappy, it behaves like a bird, when it is pleasant and sweating, the body is light and hungry.
Before Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao, he had already passed on the Five Animal Operas to several of his apprentices. According to records, these apprentices all lived to be over a hundred years old.
So how did Hua Tuo come up with the idea of creating Wu Qin Xi? It is said that one time when he was practicing medicine, he saw a child holding the door with his hand and shaking it, and the door shaft made a squeaking sound. p>
Hua Tuo thought of the principle that door hinges are not beetrooted and running water is not rotten. He then thought that most human diseases are caused by poor Qi and blood and stasis of blood and cold. If the human body can move as often as door hinges, it will
With smooth flow of qi and blood, health will naturally be improved and you will be less likely to get sick.
So I spent a lot of time concentrating on studying the Daoyin techniques used for physical exercise in the previous dynasties, especially in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and through continuous improvement, I created Wu Qin Xi.
By imitating tigers swooping and roaring, deers galloping happily, apes jumping left and right, black bears walking slowly, and birds spreading their wings and flying, etc., we can achieve clear heads, enhance cardiopulmonary function, strengthen waist and kidneys, smooth joints, and enhance physical fitness.
Thereby eliminating diseases, strengthening the body, maintaining health and extending life.
My master added breathing and breathing to this set of Wu Qin Xi. The Wu Qin Xi itself is combined with this special set of breathing and breathing methods, and the exercise effect is better. So Yu Yu, you have to study it seriously and practice it seriously. By then, not only will your body be better and better.
Good, and you have sharp ears and eyes, so you will learn things faster and easier!" Duan Hongxuan said so much that his mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.
He Yuyu became more and more excited as he listened. When Duan Hongxuan stopped temporarily, he quickly asked: "Brother Hongxuan, you are so smart and learn things so quickly. Is it because you have been practicing Wu Qin Xi since you were a child?"
"Um! There is a reason for this." Duan Hongxuan had no choice but to continue lying. But seriously speaking, his system of five-animal exercises, which was systematically improved and combined with breathing and breathing, can indeed make people smarter and brighter after long-term practice.
, learning efficiency will naturally improve, and that’s not entirely a lie!
The only lie is that the predecessor himself had never practiced Wu Qin Xi. But this has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"Then I will study hard, practice hard, and keep practicing!" He Yuyu was very excited.
"Well! There are still some things to pay attention to when practicing the Five Animals. It imitates five animals, so when practicing, you must highlight the characteristics of these five animals.
Tigers are powerful in their movements, and they need to be dignified emotionally. Deers are agile in their movements, and they need to be emotionally happy. Apes are flexible in their movements, and they need to be emotionally free. Bears are slow in their movements, and they need to be calm emotionally. Birds are relaxed in their movements, and they need to be emotionally calm.
Feel relaxed and happy, without any constraints!
Tigers should show a mighty demeanor, with bright eyes, shaking their heads and tails, and fighting with each other, which will help strengthen their physical strength.
For deer, the mind should be calm and the body should be relaxed, and the posture should be stretched. At the same time, the deer should express its body, raise its neck, shrink its neck, run, and look back, etc., which will help to stretch its muscles and bones.
Bear, you should be strong and steady, showing shaking, transporting, resisting, relying on your walking attitude, which will help to strengthen the waist, abdomen and spine.
Apes should be agile and active, showing the attitude of jumping from mountains to streams, climbing trees and branches, picking peaches and offering fruits, which will help the body to be flexible and agile.
Birds should be free from restraints, showing bright wings, flying lightly, falling geese, and independence, which can help enhance the respiratory function of the lungs, regulate qi and blood, and clear the meridians.
Therefore, when practicing Wu Qin Xi, you must not only coordinate your breathing, but also express the corresponding emotions. Only in this way can you truly practice Wu Qin Xi well.
At the beginning, you don’t need to practice all five movements. You only need to practice one kind of animal. Once you have mastered the movements of one animal, you can then learn the next one. Until you can master the movements of these five animals individually.
Once you are able to do them very skillfully, you can connect these five movements together and practice them in one go!
It's almost time to rest. I'll practice Wu Qin Xi from beginning to end. You should take a look at it carefully."
After saying that, Duan Hongxuan got up, came to a small open space in the middle of the yard, and began to practice Wu Qin Xi.
I saw Duan Hongxuan, sometimes roaring and swooping forward like a tiger, sometimes running happily like a deer, sometimes jumping left and right like a flexible monkey, sometimes walking slowly like a big stupid bear, and sometimes walking slowly like a big stupid bear.
Spread your wings and fly like a bird, with graceful movements.
When Duan Hongxuan imitated the movements of each animal, his hands also made different hand shape changes accordingly.
He Yuyu watched intently, for fear of missing any action!
When Duan Hongxuan finished all 54 movements of Wu Qin Xi, he stood still and slowly finished his work. (Modern Wu Qin Xi is simplified and does not have so many movements.)
He Yuyu took a shower after moving in the afternoon, so she wore a skirt. Duan Hongxuan asked her to go back to the house to change into shorts and wear a pair of flat shoes. He thought about preparing some practice clothes later.
After He Yuyu finished changing his clothes and came out, Duan Hongxuan taught He Yuyu the five-animal show from the first animal tiger show, and how to exhale and inhale for each movement.
According to Duan Hongxuan's estimate and arrangement, if he teaches one animal in one week, it will take about five weeks to complete the entire course. I guess there should be no problem.
Because the movements of Wuqinxi are not difficult and easy to learn, men, women, old and young can practice it. (Readers can also find videos online to learn. It is easy to learn and can be practiced in the living room at home. Long-term exercise is also good for the body.
.)
The next time was spent between the two of them and learning to teach Wu Qinxi.
Duan Hongxuan thought that he could find time to teach these five-animal tricks to Lou Xiao'e's family, as well as his godmother and his family.
In particular, Lou Xiao'e's father seemed to have died relatively early due to physical reasons, and Lou's mother finally took advantage of the widow lover He Daqing.
Once Lou's father has learned Wuqinxi, as long as he practices it seriously every day, he probably won't die prematurely due to physical reasons. He Daqing will let him find another widow!
