HSING MING CHI KWEI - THE MEANING OF NATURE AND DESTINY

This seven volume Book is one of a mere handful of surviving ancient texts of Qigong Instruction.  Cryptic and written in traditional "old" Chinese script, the book is replete with images and diagrams such as to the right:

Translation - Centers of the involuntary circulation of Chi energy. The middle field of elixir (dan tien) is represented by a new moon and three stars, the yellow court by a square, and the lower dan tien by a cauldron. The right hand of the figure holds a moon, symbolized by a jade rabbit. The left hand holds the sun, symbolized by a three legged bird. The three legs of the bird symbolize Heaven, Earth, and Man. Sun and Moon are the movers which bring about the circular movement of the energy in the body.

These drawings explain that Chi energy will awaken when the yin and yang energies of the body are balanced. Postnatal chi derived from food and drink will then liberate prenatal chi stored in the bone and marrow. On the right: "A spark will be born in the pot (abdomen) when cinnabar (elixir) is inside and mercury (spirit) is enough. After they are mixed the yellow seed (chi) is planted and will grow. You may laugh at the cauldron (cooking pot - lower abdomen) but it's drug is life so don't waste time in idle talk. You may laugh at the cauldron but it's method is to cultivate the essence.  (When the river is calm you will find the gem). My form is Shen Tai (spiritual).  When the flower opens the news will be of the yellow seed. Refining the sexual essence must be controlled by the soul or else it is as if you are boiling an empty pot. The small figure fanning the pot represents "kindling the fire" by regulating the breath. The cauldron pot in which the essence is boiled (to become chi) is the lower abdomen.

One of the seminal works of ancient Qigong and Internal Work.  Never before translated to English.  Truly hard to find any where today!  China One of a Kind - Unique, Rare and Collectible!
