The Kung Fu Discussion Group – Episode 1: Xingyiquan
Uncle, I have a question? In my Taiji which is a pure dao form of taiji, there are many words/ characters that are difficult to translate. For example 三清 and 三青? 三清 I can find, daoist trinity, but for 三青 I cannot find anything. So I asked his son (16 years old) and he also had trouble interpreting this . But what I understood was this ：三青, is in this Taiji is; the function of the form/practice is to aid in the removal of impure chi down into the earth, replaced with pure chi from the sky ? Al.

The term 三青 seems to be related to plant metabolism. I’ve never encountered it before, so it’s probably a special term of your particular school. Many types of Taijiquan seek to purify the Qi by connecting with the larger Universe & circulating Qi through the body to “wash away” blockages & impure Qi. That seems to be the case here.

And he actually bought me breakfast due to the fact that I found it for him…

But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this topic here on your internet site.
