'Good' translation is nothing without understanding born of real experience...

 

Or you could end up thinking that Zhan Zhuang means standing on poles...

 

🤣

I like your sense of humor. My friend. 🙏

can feng shui change a place so that 1 hour of qigong practice in it is worth 10   hours in another place ? 100 hours ? 10000 hours ?

Yes, if you go to an oxygen bar.

Good translation is resulted from good interpetation with understanding while standing on poles. 

Earl said it's better not to learn from books. Anyway the author is $15 richer.

If you believe it go for it.

And stick to the topic by actually providing the sources you cite for Feng Shui.

Please do and stop acting like a 5 year old kid.

You're making no sense...as usual.

 

Get specific, don't get vague.

 

And stick to the topic by actually providing the sources you cite for Feng Shui. 

I didn't expect you have an open mind to understand the original classic.

Is that why you used that against me? I am sorry you believed them all even though each says differently. Which one is really telling you the truth?

Thank you for your sincere consideration. Original sources are better than no sources at all because some of us can understand Chinese.

 

I will later post something good and informative on Feng Shui from a well-known Chinese master, in English.

With poor translation? I hope not!
 

If I do that, I don't think you can read it.

Let's hear it from our scholar SirPalomides first.

What is Confucian Qigong?
Why do you think that morality is related to Confucian Qigong?

"Karate was originally written as "Chinese hand" (唐手 literally "Tang dynasty hand") in kanji. It was changed to a homophone meaning empty hand (空手) in 1935. "

Sorry, 唐手(Tang hand) was the Japanese version using the Chinese Characters to fit their own meaning. I know it is very confusing with the mixture of languages Chinese, Japanese and English. It is very hard to communicate. 

@Earl Grey @Zork
I rest my case.

Karate meant "chinese hand" by the way. It is a derivative of chinese quan fa mixed with native Okinawan techniques.....

Keep proving how clueless you are!

Karate is 空手道 means "empty hand"

So there are no martial qigong forms that have been passed on to other systems i assume???

Let's not talk about apples and oranges. Our mindset are too far apart. My friend!

Wrong again.

Sorry!
I was hoping that you would tell me 修身 in Chinese classic is 自修(self-cultivation) modern term.

You are alluding to systems that have breathing to protect from blows like Goju ryu karate do. They do not use reverse breathing. Plus they are damaging to the lungs!

Since when we are talking about karate, here, I thought we are talking about qigong?

10 minutes ago, SirPalomides said:

The term 修身 (xiushen, self-cultivation) refers primarily to moral cultivation in a Confucian context.

I believe,
修身 is the cultivation of the body.
自修 is self-cultivation

The performer has to do reverse breathing for this demo. Please note that his abdomen is tucked inward.

 Zork, I am not surprised that you are confused at all.

1. Let's put it differently. Would you trust the advice of a bedouin or an average New Yorker when attempting to cross a vast desert?

2. People can have success when trying things on their own but must have a lot of luck and talent to succeed which is very rare.

1. It depends who do you trust. Trial and error!
2. Ah, yes rare; but there is a possibility that counts. Why not give it a chance? People are so dumb you know!

Is this result of qigong training?

Yes, difinitely, my friend.
