Qinna is normally called grappling or joint locking techniques. They are not Taichi original methods like the 13 stances, but rather imported into it. Qinna exists in all styles of Taichi and in other Chinese martial arts and outside China. So I suppose the good execution of Qinna could be independent from Taichi.

Why did the ancients develop Neigung/Neidan/medicine/martial systems to get more oxygen? They have more oxygen than now.

If you imply there is only 1 evil, then I would disagree. There are big evils, small evils, outward evils, hidden evils, latent evils.... All these change all the time. And all of us are or have evil inside us too. If everyone has god nature, then everyone should have evil nature. It is just the level that matters.

Then how about experience falls in this formula?

Tian = Field Dan = Crops Neidan = Growing Choice of Locations = Acupoints, Chakra, Places with more nerve endings and hormonal glands

Recently the site is operating smoothly, but don't know for how long. Last time when the search function was used the system slowed down. So if we all use Google to search, it would alleviate the system's load.

Sub forums tend to die of dwindling interactions. Am I correct? especially for a not so popular subject.

A sub-forum could be useful in dealing with crawling bots. But it won't be that private as so many already have 20 posts. And it would not be effective vs. trolling, spamming, bashing and so on.

The good thing is there has never been so much interest in Neidan.

Why not give it a try? at most we are back to where we are now.

This is a very informative piece that all newbie should read. It is just that I would like to add Neidan involves pre-natal Chi. Purely work on the body like posture/thinking/breathing would not produce the transformative result. By the way is it possible to disclose how did you come across that gentleman in England?

Quite true, some schools view manipulation of breathing as lethal. It is why wide reading is essential. A single danitan, a single breathing method is not true.

May be we view this thread, only this thread, in this way. As Apech pointed out: If we go to any specific subject board/forum, but we don't believe in their basic concepts, and we are having no experience of it, yet we use AI to translate some random texts and tell them what their interest really is, with some really doubtful statements. It would not be received amicably, and could be viewed as provocation. The matter is about how it is done but not about differences in opinion. Indeed if the title is rectified as below. It would be easier for everyone.

When you hear advance level of something. It could be bad news.

Another view is the proportion. Neidan may need 50/50 Xing/Ming overall. Neigong/Qigong 30/70. And different stages need different proportions too.
