五行陰陽變化說/Wu Xing Yin Yang Bian Hua Shuo – Five Phases Yin Yang Variation Theory

五行者,相生相克也。生者發也,克者卸也;陰陽者,發手為陽,起腿為陰;動靜者,出手发招為動,閉門緊守為靜;變化者,沾粘連隨變也,閃轉吸躲化也。取其八字為綱,諸法顯而易見。

The Five Phases are mutually Generating & mutually Restraining. Generating is Issuing, Restraining is unloading; what are Yin & Yang, Issuing a hand is Yang, raising a leg is Yin; what are Movement & Stillness, Extending a hand to Issue a maneuver is Moving, “Closing the Gate,” tightly to guard is Stillness; what are Variations & Changes, Touching, Sticking, Linking, & Following are Variations, Dodging, Turning, Absorbing, & Avoiding are Changes. If you take these Dight Characters as the outline all methods will be clear & easy to see.

Hello, I'm your Uncle Sickness. My study of martial arts & Daoist philosophy began in college & has carried through the rest of my life. In that time, I've learned Ba Fan Shou, Tan Tui (10 & 12 Road versions), Taijiquan, Tanglangquan, Baguazhang, & my personal favorite, Xingyiquan. In addition, I've studied a number of popular Qigong styles & meditation techniques.
