He has been a teacher for more than 40 years, has practiced his true skills, and has reached a very high martial arts realm. He is a writer and has profound writing skills, so he can sort out the experience of martial arts practice and write it into a book. His boxing theory is broad and profound, and it is self-contained. "Rebuilding the Records of Xianshui County" records that he "concentrated on "Zhou Yi", penetrating the theory of the ups and downs of yin and yang..... He wrote "The Theory of Zhongqi" to clarify its return, in which the art of refining qi and the magic of vertical and horizontal opening and closing have never been developed before."
The theories of Chang's martial arts include martial virtue theory, beginner theory, level theory, Zhongqi theory, technique theory, and gongfa theory.
Cang Jia Quan is a gradual learning, not an overnight skill. Cang Naizhou paid great attention to "cultivating the righteousness" and asked those who were new to the Tang boxing technique to lay a solid foundation so that they would not go astray. Among Qiang's posthumous works is "Ten Layers of Kung Fu", also known as "Ten Layers of Exercise", which details the requirements and realms that each layer of Kung Fu should achieve, and points out the corresponding theory of exercises and boxing routines, which is the guiding framework theory of Yuan's boxing method.
The theory of Zhongqi is the origin of the theory of Tang's boxing. Cang Naizhou combined Zhongqi with martial arts movements to create a boxing technique that combines internal and external cultivation, combines form and qi, combines rigidity and softness, and integrates attack and defense.
In his book "The Theory of Zhongqi" and other boxing genealogies, Cang Naizhou elaborated on the technical rules and precautions of Cang Naizhou's boxing method, which is a summary of Cang Naizhou's practice and the essence of Cang family boxing.
In addition to the exercises described in the "Theory of Zhongqi", Cang Naizhou also wrote exercises and theoretical works such as "Five Elements Qi". These exercises and theoretical works cover the essence of Yi, medicine, Tao, and martial arts, and are the secret and unannounced skills of the Yuan family.
The first layer of the 10-layer kung fu of the Cang clan is to practice the form, and also to practice the shape, and the text says: "The shape, the elephant." Practice makes head, hands, feet, waist, arms, legs, crotch, arm, elbow, wrist, limbs and bones all accompany each other. This is the first layer of manpower. This is the movable muscles and bones method, the purpose of which is to "follow all the limbs and bones" and achieve flexible coordination of the whole body.
The second level of kung fu is the practice of inducing qi. The text says: "He who draws qi leads the qi of the whole body, from the inside to the outside, from here to the other, from the limbs, to the people." "The method of introduction, that is, hitting the wall, pounding stones, hitting sandbags, driving wooden stakes, slapping water tanks, etc., attracts internal forces to the four ends.
The third level of kung fu is to train the body. Wen Yu: "Those who have body qi also have the qi of the upper and lower bodies." If you are skillful, you will achieve a piece of achievement, and you will not be ruthless. If there is a trigger, there is no hit, why do you suffer from this disease? ”
The fourth level of kung fu is to practice internal qi. Wen Yu: "Those who have inner qi are also the qi of the five elements." If you practice for a long time, the shape will be emanated from qi, and the qi will be quick and quick. It's all about that. It is important to know that the breath is included. "There is "Five Elements Qi" in the Qi, which is the content of this layer of kung fu.
The fifth level of kung fu is the combination of form and qi. The text says: "Those who practice the combination of form and qi are united inside and outside, and the form is vaporized without a trace." Do what you have to do, stop what you have to do. Although the art is not to the fullest, it is incomparable, and the work has reached most of it. "Cang Naizhou listed "Zhong Twenty-four Posture Fist" as a boxing method for the combined practice of form and qi, and wrote the article "Combined Twenty-four Postures in Combined Training", and Yun: "The fifth layer of form qi combined training, that is, the human plate, the middle flat trend. ”
The sixth layer of kung fu is to practice floating qi. The text said: "Those who float are the ones who float on the top, and the upper plate is also the upper plate." "Cang Naizhou listed "Upper Twenty-Four Posture Fist" as a fist method for practicing floating qi, and Yun: "The sixth layer of practicing floating qi, that is, the heavenly pan, rising vertical ~ flying also." ”
The seventh layer of kung fu is to practice Shen Qi. The text said: "Those who are sluggish, the breath sinks below, and the territory is also." "Cang Naizhou listed the Lower Twenty-Four Fist as a fist method for practicing Shen Qi.
The eighth layer of kung fu is to practice divine qi. The text says: "God is the son of qi, qi is the mother of God, and the spirit follows each other, like form and shadow." The method of practice is covered by the quality of its qi and the vitality is born, and the spirit and qi are unified for a long time. When moving, out of unconsciousness, it is suspected that there is divine help, which is beyond the reach of verbal thoughts. "Cang Naizhou listed the Twenty-Seven Postures of Sun Dasheng as the eighth layer of the fist method of "Practicing Divine Qi".
The ninth layer of kung fu is to practice the five elements. Wen Yu: "The five elements, the five internal organs." The changers change with the movement also. There is no internal strength, and there is no reason for it to change outside. However, if the internal qi is practiced on weekdays, when the internal qi moves, the outside will change accordingly. If the heart belongs to fire, the heart is pneumatic, and it becomes red when it is outside; The liver is woody, the liver is pneumatic, and its change to the outside is blue; The spleen belongs to the soil, the spleen is pneumatic, and its external change is yellow; The lungs are golden, the lungs are pneumatic, and those who change to the outside are white; The kidneys belong to water, and the kidneys are pneumatic, and the outside is black. "After explaining the "Five Elements of Practice", Cang Naizhou has two articles: "The Five Elements of the Face" and "The Theory of Phoyngeal Meat Discoloration". Cover the enemy, the true qi moves, that is, it can be exposed to the face.
The tenth level of kung fu is to practice vitality. Wen Yu: "Yuanji, Ichiya, Shouya, Benya, Nagaya, Shiye." Those who are qi are endowed with people, and people are also endowed with the qi of heaven. The life and death of a person is all in the vitality, and when the qi gathers, it is born, and if the qi is dispersed, it is death, so the cultivator always puts his qi under the navel and keeps his qi in his body. The vitality does not dissipate, where does death come from? And everything in the world begins in one and ends in one, how can it be doubtful about art? Those who learn its art will start from one book to Wanshu, and finally return to one from Wanshu, and they will not be able to do anything! Is it the usual meaning of Boyo to people? What is the power in art? Therefore, it is necessary to end it. To prolong life, detachment and ascend, and the magic of function, all come from this practice! How can it be fully described! "This layer of kung fu mainly practices the Qi of True Yuan, which is in line with the Qi-Nourishing Method of the Cang family.
