The original meaning of the word "closed" is the latch, which is extended to close the door, and from the closed door, it is extended to the gate. The three levels are the three tricks of the human body that doctors, Taoists, and practitioners have always believed that material energy is difficult to pass through, although they are called passes, the essence is the tricks, they are tail lu (trick) pass (upper end of the tail bone), ridge (trick) pass (directly opposite the heart socket spine), jade pillow (trick) pass (back of the head).
The original meaning of the word "trick" is hole, hole, and nine tricks refer to nine holes. The nine tips of medicine, Taoism, and gongjia each have different directions.
The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the nine holes connected to the outside world by the eyes (2), ears (2), nose (2), mouth, anus, and urethra (including the vagina in women) as the nine tips, which specialize in the exchange of substances between the human body and nature.
The nine tips of Taoism are the tricks of energy operation and exchange in the process of alchemy, and the nine tips of different masters have different directions, generally there are the following three situations: one is the first three, the last three, the middle three are: upper dantian (between the two eyebrows), middle dantian (heart fossa), lower dantian (four fingers below the navel on the body surface, one inch deeper), the last three are: tail lu trick (upper end of the tail bone), ridge trap (where the spine is facing the heart fossa), jade occipital trick (back of the head), middle three are: lower circumference (abdominal cavity), middle furnace (chest cavity), upper lid top (top of the head). The second is the four tips of the tu vein: tail lu trick (upper end of the tail bone), ridge trick (directly opposite the spine of the heart fossa), jade pillow trick (back of the head), mountain root trick (nasal root), two tips of Ren vein: Huang Ting (middle dantian), qihai (lower dantian), and three tips of chong pulse: yin trick (between the anus and tail bone), yang trick (top of the head), and yang trick (heart fossa). The third is Mingtang (root of the nose), cave room (two inches straight up between the eyebrows), mud pill (refers to the upper dantian, there is a finger to the hundred clubs), qifu (side waist, below the free end of the 12th rib), Queqiao (upper Queqiao refers to the tongue, lower Queqiao refers to the Yin Cave, at the tail lu and valley road), heavy building (laryngeal bone trachea, laryngeal bone has 12 segments, so it is called the twelfth heavy building), dovetail (the depression under the xiphoid process of the sternum), Suigong (middle dantian), Huangting (refers to the lower dantian, also refers to the middle dantian).
The nine tips of the gongjia are: the first three tians (upper, middle, and lower three dantians), the last three passes (tail lu pass, jia jia pass, jade pillow pass), and the middle "three tips" (yin trick, yang trick, middle palace trick).
Each of the nine tricks has its own specific position and different functions, and the "trick" exists in the "shape", "acts on the qi", and is applied to the "intention". Therefore, "intention", "qi" and "shape" are the basis for practice.
Zhou Tian refers to the path of qi running in the body, also known as veins. The weekly cycle refers to the state of running in a certain direction during qi training. The purpose of qi training is to concentrate and reduce breath, that is, to eliminate all thoughts and reduce the number of breaths by focusing on the key acupuncture points of the human body in a certain order between exhalation and inhalation. The beginning of the "Nei Gong Jing" is clear: "The transmission of internal strength is very true; The former governor is in full swing; Jingchi double cave, vigorously followed. Ever-changing, not departing from the root, getting its mystery, and sighing boundlessly. Gumi rises qi, dantian practices the spirit, qi descends in the sea, and light gathers the heart of heaven. "The Nei Gong Sutra mainly reveals the context, the format of the upper and lower plates of the human body, the law of qi path and the method of qi training, and the weekly cycle is a unique method of qi training.

The "Nei Gong Jing" says: "There is a way to ascend, and the ribs are lifted together; Descending has a descending place, Yu Kou breath road". The "Explanation of the Inner Strength Sutra" says: This word is that the path of rising and falling true qi also rises from the seams of the two ribs when rising, so it must be opened vigorously and lifted upwards, which is naturally the trick. When descending, it will enter from the mouth of the back, and penetrate the true path of qi in front of the heart. The Zhou Tian Cycle is a kind of Tuner guidance technique that follows the luck of Ren and Ji Zhi. Guiding the direction of the line, the true qi rises along the spine from the tail lu to the Baihui point, and then descends from the Baihui through the mud pill to the person, which is the running line of the tu vein; True Qi travels from the larynx to the big vertebrae, down the spine to Yukou, enters from Yukou, and then penetrates the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and sinks into the dantian to the perineum, which is the running line of the Ren pulse. In particular, it should be noted that when the breath falls, the true qi does not fall directly from the throat to the chest and abdominal cavity and then to the dantian, but sinks through the large vertebrae to the Yu mouth, and then enters from the Yu mouth, and then penetrates the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys and sinks into the dantian, because the spine and chest curvature make the Yu mouth usually closed, and the true qi cannot enter the bones, and if the true qi does not pass through the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, it will not be able to nourish the internal organs, and the way to open the Yu mouth is to hug the left and right shoulder blades with their backs, also known as "unloading the nails".

The weekly cycle includes the "Small Weekly Cycle", "The Great Weekly Cycle" and the "Five Qi Chaoyuan". Rendu two-pulse cycle, also known as the small weekly cycle, is the refining and refining gas stage, the amount of the small weekly cycle accumulation to a certain time will achieve a qualitative leap, at this time it becomes the big weekly cycle. The reason why it is called the Great Zhoutian Cycle is because at this time, there are not only Rendu two vein circulation, but also other meridian cycles, the range is greater than the Small Zhoutian, so it is called the Great Zhoutian Cycle, and this stage is the stage of refining gas and transforming the gods. The Great Zhou Tian Cycle opens up the two veins of Ren Du, the five qi are gathered into the mind, and when it is sublimated again, it becomes the three flowers gathering the top and the five qi dynasty, which is the stage of refining the gods and returning to the void.
Taoism takes cultivation to the peak of the three flowers and the five qi dynasty as the highest realm. The so-called "three flowers gather at the top", one is the human flower, refining and refining qi, human nature is born from refinement, so the essence is the seed of reincarnation, the cultivator's heart must be empty in the lower burnt, abstain from lust, the essence is not delusional, then the essence is full of lust, lead peanuts; The second is the flower of the earth, refining qi and transforming the gods, and the survival of man depends on qi, and the heart will be empty and scorched, without panic and fear, without anger and no grudges, then the qi will be smooth, the road will be smooth, the qi will be sufficient without thinking about food, and the silver peanut will be full; The third is smallpox, refining God is still empty, although the spirit is sufficient, if there is no god, then his body has no light, his person has no life, so God is the lord, now the heart is empty and scorched, not clinging, God is full of sleep, always clear and awake, then out of the shell and empty, into the void realm, then golden peanuts.
The so-called "Five Qi Dynasty Yuan", one is to hide the god in the heart, the day after tomorrow is to know the gods, the innate is to be a gift, and the empty is to mourn, then the gods are determined, and the fire and qi of the Southern Red Emperor are dynastic. The second is the liver and hidden soul, the day after tomorrow is the wandering soul, the innate is benevolence, the empty is joy, the soul is determined, the wood qi of the Eastern Green Emperor Chaoyuan. The third is the spleen and hidden intention, the acquired is delusional, the innate is faith, empty desire, then the intention is determined, the central Yellow Emperor's earthy dynasty. The fourth is the lungs and hides, the day after tomorrow is a ghost, the innate is righteous, empty in anger, then it is determined, the golden qi of the Western White Emperor Chaoyuan. The fifth is the kidney and the essence, the acquired is the turbid essence, the innate is wisdom, the emptiness is pleasure, then it is fine, and the water and gas of the Northern Mo Emperor are dynasty.
