三十六計/ San Shi Liu Ji – The Thirty six Stratagems Number 7

無中生有/Wu Zhong Sheng You – Create Something From Nothing

原文：誑也，非誑也，實其所誑也。少陰、太陰、太陽。

Original Text: There is deception, there is “not deception,” truth is found within deception. Xiao Yin, Tai Yin, Tai Yang.

解析：製造假象欺騙敵人，但又不是弄假到底，而是巧妙地由假變真，由虛變實，以假象掩蓋真象，造成敵人的錯覺。

Analysis: Create a false appearance to deceive the enemy that isn’t false in the end, rather by ingeniously transforming fake into real, empty into solid, you use a false appearance to conceal the reality of the situation, causing the enemy’s misperception.

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.
