Information, Facts, Notes
Hun Yuan Chen Taijiquan 24 Form
"Hunyuan Qigong is a system of qigong (chi
kung) which is part of the system of hunyuan taiji (tai chi), created by Master
Feng Zhiqiang, a disciple of Chen Fake, a famous master of Chen style taijiquan. But
before becoming a disciple of Master Chen, Feng was a disciple of Master Hu
Yaozhen,
a scholar of Chinese medicine, and master of xinyiquan and practices of Taoist
and Buddhist meditation. Hu was considered the father of modern qigong in
China. Master Feng used the some of the best facets of his two masters’ systems
to create the system hunyuan taiji, which includes hunyuan qigong. The product
was a system of taijiquan that follows the rules of qigong very well.
The name hunyuan is composed of “hun” meaning 'mixed' (may also mean 'origin.')
and “yuan” meaning 'circle'. It may also be said that the system is based on these “circles”
or flows arising from the universe. These circles are part of this “original”
energy that flows in the universe, nature and humans.
Qigong systems generally fall into 3 classifications: religious (e.g. Taoist),
martial and medicinal. Hunyuan qigong is classified as the martial type because
in addition to health benefits, it also provides benefits useful for martial
arts such as taijiquan. It is important to know that while hunyuan qigong uses
concepts from Taoism such as yin and yang, this does not mean that the system is
linked to religion. It’s simply a system of exercises that anyone can do to
enjoy the benefits associated with this practice.
In the system of hunyuan taiji, empty hand forms (sequences of movement) are
considered important while practices with conventional weapons are considered
complementary. However, hunyuan qigong is an essential element of the system of
hunyuan taiji. While many systems use qigong as a complementary exercise, the
system hunyuan taiji includes qigong practices so complete that they can be seen
as a complete system of qigong in themselves."
- Chen Zhongwa,
Hunyuan Qigong Can Improve Your Taijiquan
"In the Hun Yuan Tai Chi form, each movement flows into the next in an endless circle of energy. The first stage of learning involves remembering the individual movements which are all based on the following Tai Chi principles:
1. Keep the spine straight and
relaxed - not tense.
2. Bend your knees to enable weight transfer.
3. Let your weight sink down to the soles of the feet - not held in the upper
body or the thighs.
Develop natural weight transfer – from ground to ground.
4. Legs are the foundation. Each movement starts from the legs, to the
waist (which also enables the spine to rotate) and
then to the arms. The waist
controls the upper body.
Avoid leaning with the upper body.
5. Distinguish between empty and solid. Control your centre of gravity.
Step out empty with no weight, so that you may
be able to retrieve your step if
necessary.
6. Be aware of relaxing the shoulders.
7. Use minimum amount of strength to move the body. Anything more is
tension. Relax, relax, relax.
8. Coordinate the lower and the upper body.
9. Distinguish between open and close within the movement. Feel your back
and chest. Avoid leaning.
10. Use your mind, that is, your intention, to lead the movement."
- Brett Wagland, Experiencing the First Stage of Hun Yuan Tai Chi
"Hun Yuan Qigong is often translated as
meaning ‘Primordial’ or ‘Congenital Qigong’ which is an appropriate name but it
really deserves further exploration. ‘Hun’ by its nature refers to
something that is mixed, something that is still a composite and hasn’t been
divided into various parts as in Hun Dun which is often translated as original
chaos. ‘Yuan’ literally means rotations or circles. So the name of this
Qigong set is actually Mixed Circles or Mixed Rotations Qigong. Why is this and
what does this have to do with primordial? A state of undifferentiated
rotating energy is the original state of the cosmos according to esoteric
Daoism. This was the state before Yin and Yang divided. It is the potential for
something but nothing manifest. The ultimate state of Wuji is supposed to be
formed of various mixed circles – Wuji is Hun Yuan. Out of these mixed circles
come Taiji which is the catalyst for Creation so Hun Yuan literally implies
trying to take yourself, your Mind, your Energy Body to a state before Yin and
Yang divided when there is still just rotational potential for something – which
is why often they’ll shorten all of that and say Primordial Qigong for example.
Most people will know Hun Yuan Qigong through a gentleman who died recently
named Feng Zhi Qiang who was the founder of Hun Yuan Taiji, a variant of Chen
style boxing. Feng also taught Hun Yuan Qigong which, prior to being part of a
Taijiquan system, had alchemical Daoist origins."
- Damo Mitchell,
Hun Yuan in Qigong
"Qigong is the root of Tai Chi. Tai
Chi is the flower of Qigong."
- Grandmaster Feng Zhi Qiang
"Hunyuan is an
ancient, central concept of Daoist philosophy and meditation practice. Hun means
undifferentiated unity, the state of mind and being that occurs when one does
not divide the world into concepts. In other words, hun is equivalent to inner
silence. Yuan means origin or original. Yuan is the root or antecedent of any
action. It is the creative spark or impulse, like a seed planted in Spring which
is just ready to sprout. This mantric phrase may be interpreted as four
stages in the creation or evolution of an idea or phenomenon; or it may
represent the four seasons. ...
"Hun with yuan becomes the concept Hunyuan, the
Primordial State of Being. The term is synonymous with the word Dao itself and
also with Taiji (the Undifferentiated, as in Taiji Quan, a martial art and
healing art that blends yin and yang, suppleness with strength).
Philosophy and personal cultivation are not separate categories in Daoist
thought. Thus, Hunyuan is the Primal Being (God) or Beingness that both
precedes and underlies all creation. It is also the spiritual state of a
person who practices Daoist meditation. That is, a meditator's goal is to
become Hunyuan. We see evidence of this in the two classic terms for Daoist
meditation: xin zhai and zuo wang:
1. Xin Zhai, "the fasting of the mind" --the body fasts and is refreshed when it
doesn't eat; the mind fasts and is refreshed when it doesn't think. (Or as my
old friend Alan Watts used to say, "If you are always thinking, you have nothing
to think about except thoughts! There needs to be a break for experience.").
2. Zuo Wang, "sitting and forgetting," an old term found in the Daoist Zhang Zi
classic: the mind forgets judgment and worries and returns to a state of peace
and clarity. ...
"We find references to
Hunyuan throughout Daoist literature. Zhang Boduan (983-1082), founder of the
Complete Reality (Quan Zhen) sect of Daoism, learned "the Dao of Hunyuan".
Lao Zi, the founder of Daoist philosophy was known as Hunyuan Sheng, the Sage of
the Primordial. (A famous biography of Lao Zi written in 1191 A.D. is
titled Hunyuan Shengji, Chronicle of the Sage of the Primordial.) Lao Zi's Dao
De Jing is still the most important source for information about the philosophy
of Hunyuan." ...
"The Hunyuan, also designated Dao, creates Two, a polarity of
complementary opposites known as Yin and Yang. Two creates Three: Yang forms the
heavens, Yin forms the earth; and Qi creates life. The three could also be
considered Heaven, Earth, and Human, the famous trinity of Chinese philosophy.
The interactions between the Three create all things. Thus, all beings have yang
and yin aspects: front and back, inside and outside, positive and negative,
light and shadow, obvious and hidden, masculine and feminine, and so on. When a
human being wishes to commune with the Hunyuan, he or she has only to center the
mind on Qi, the energy of life. ...
"Hunyuan, Hundun, and Taiji may all be translated
"Chaos," because they suggest a primal "soup" in which individual things cannot
be distinguished. According to A. C. Graham's translation of Zhuang Zi, "In
Chinese cosmology, the primordial is not a chaos reduced to order by imposed
law, it is a blend of everything rolled up together; the word is reduplicative
of the type of English 'hotchpotch' and 'rolypoly'."
- Kenneth Cohen,
Hunyuan Qigong:
Tracing Life to Its Root, 2007
"Chen-style Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan
(abbreviated as Hunyuan Taiji) is a Taiji (Tai Chi) style that combines the
martial skills and frame of the Chen-style system with elements of Xinyi Quan as
well as Taoist internal cultivation methods. The system includes meditation
practices, qigong sets, empty hand forms, weapons, two-person drills
(push-hands), and free fighting. Chen-style Taijiquan is the oldest form
of Taiji and is the source of all of the other styles (such as Yang and Wu). It
emphasizes a spiraling form of movement called silk-reeling. Xinyi means
Mind-Intent. Proper practice of Taiji begins by relaxing and settling the mind
to enter stillness and employing intent to move the qi (the body’s subtle
energy). Xinyi Quan was the internal martial art style of Hunyuan Taiji founder
Grandmaster Feng’s Taoist teacher Hu Yaozhen."
"Hunyuan means Primordial
Origin. This original qi of the universe is what heaven, earth, and human beings
are formed from. By cultivating a return to this original unity with both mind
and body, we manifest the tranquility of eternity and the power of heaven and
earth. Taijiquan means Supreme Polarity Boxing. The supreme polarity of
the universe is yin and yang. The original hunyuan qi of the universe separates
into these complementary forces. In Taiji boxing, we cultivate the ability to
differentiate yin and yang in our bodies in order to promote health and to
neutralize and uproot our opponent."
"According to Hunyuan Taiji founder
Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang: “While designed for both health and self-defense,
Hunyuan Taiji focuses on health; while alternating between movement and
stillness, it emphasizes stillness; and while simultaneously training the
internal and the external, it gives priority to the internal. The internal and
external should be coordinated, the upper and lower body should follow each
other, and the whole body should move in harmony.”
- Matthew Peters Sieradski;
Healer, Teacher, Minister; Eugene, Oregon
Grandmaster Feng Zhi Qiang's Twelve Principles of Taijiquan
1. Heart and spirit void and quiet from start to end.
2. Center equilibrium.
3. Use mind to move qi. The heart is the commander.
4. Start with sink and drop.
5. Search for soft and smooth.
6. Inside/outside and upper/lower should work together.
7. The transition of yin/yang will help you find hard/soft.
8. The silk reeling force should be present through the body.
9. Search for open/close by folding the chest and stomach.
10. Concentrate on dantian to improve neigong (internal force).
11. Keep your heart calm, mind quiet, and practice slowly
(stillness in movement).
The form is a moving standing pole (huo zhuang).
12. You will be successful if you know both how to practice and how to nuture yourself (yang sheng).
- Master Yang Yang, Center for Taijiquan Studies, Grandmaster Fen Zhi Qiang's Twelve Principles of Taijiquan
"Over his years of training Feng Zhiqiang
reintegrated a deep practice of Daoist Neigong (Qigong) with Chen’s Taiji, which
in my opinion allows Chen Taiji to once again embrace it’s origin in combining
self-defense with self-cultivation. Closer to the end of the 20th century Feng
started calling his personal interpretation of Chen Taiji “Hunyuan Chen Style
Taijiquan” (混元陳氏太極拳). The word “Hunyuan” means primordial chaos, or the original
heart of the universe. This reminds us that the practice of Taijiquan is both as
a martial art as well as a path to cultivating spirit and cultivating stillness.
The first chapter of the Suwen, the foundational text of Chinese medicine says,
“quiet peacefulness, absolute emptiness – the true Qi follows these states”
(恬惔虛无,真氣從之). This statement is the heart of Hunyuan, and the heart of practice."
- Hunyuan Taijiquan,
Institute for Classical Asian Medicine
"Hunyuan Taijiquan 24 Forms could be
as the symbol for this new style, because it is the set most spreading, often
used for group performance and for beginners to start with. Also it could
reflect the essential principle of Hunyuan,"getting healthy is all what we do
for". The 24 Forms is fit to benefit the people’s health care.
The character of the set is to guide the arms’ moving
by the body; to do the movements with mind but not force; and to emphasize the
relaxing movement at the end of every form. The set should be done in 7-8
minutes with “Acrid tea in spring” as the music accompaniment.
The set of Hunyuan 24 Forms in fact was simplified from
Hunyuan Taijiquan 48 Forms. It consists of the first 21 forms and the last 3
ones of the 48 Forms. But the start form and Pi Shen Chui are different. The
start form of Hunyuan 48 Forms, which was published in 1988, had used the four
methods, Peng, Ji, Lu, An, mainly on the mind; but now in Hunyuan 24 Forms it
becomes to four movements. So the start forms between Hunyuan 48 Forms, the 24
Forms and the 32-form Cannon are different for each other.
And we should insist in such rules during the
teaching: 1. Keep in higher posture but not force squatting lower. 2. The
relaxing is the first of all elements; carefully perceive the weight on your
body and arms, and no even little more force to add on; do the relaxing
movements well. 3. To take the three-pillar frame as the dynamical model,
to emphasize the function of the heaven pillar, and to protect the lumbar by
crotch turning. 4. To change the weight between the two sides of the body,
and to do the movements in silk-reeling method. And, 5. To keep in deep
and natural breath."
