The Five Venoms (1978)

[libertariantaoist]

Daily Selections From Lao-Tzu’s Tao Te Ching – March 21, 2024

“Which is more vital

fame or health

which is more precious

health or wealth

which is more harmful

loss or gain

the deeper the love

the higher the cost

the bigger the treasure

the greater the loss

who knows contentment

thus suffers no shame

and who knows restraint

encounters no trouble

while enjoying a long life”

-Lao-tzu-

(Taoteching, verse 44, translation by Red Pine)

HUANG MAO-TS’AI says, “What the world calls fame is something external. And yet people abandon their bodies to fight for it. What the world calls wealth is unpredictable. And yet people sacrifice their bodies to possess it. How can they know what is vital or precious? Even if they succeed, it’s at the cost of their health.”

SSU-MA KUANG says, “Which is more harmful: to gain wealth and fame and lose one’s health or to gain one’s health and lose wealth and fame?”

LU HUI-CH’ING says, “Heroes seek fame and merchants seek wealth, even to the point of giving up their lives. The first love fame because they want to glorify themselves. But the more they love fame, the more they lose what they would really glorify. Hence, the cost is high. The second amass wealth because they want to enrich themselves. But the more wealth they amass, the more they harm what they would truly enrich. Hence, the loss is great. Meanwhile, those who cultivate Virtue know the most vital thing is within themselves. Thus, they seek no fame and suffer no disgrace. They know the most precious things is within themselves. Thus, they seek no wealth and encounter no trouble. Hence, they live long.”

LI HSI-CHAI says, “If we love something, the more we love it, the more it costs us. If we treasure something, the more we treasure it, the more it exhausts us. A little of either results in shame. A lot results in ruin. And regret comes too late. People who are wise are not like this. They know that they have everything they need within themselves. Hence, they do not seek anything outside themselves. Thus, those who would shame them find nothing to shame. They know their own limit, and their limit is the Tao. Hence, they don’t act unless it is according to the Tao. Thus, those who would trouble them find nothing to trouble. Hence, they survive, and surviving, live long.”

HO-SHANG KUNG says, “Excessive sensual desire exhausts our spirit. Excessive material desire brings us misfortune. The living keep their treasures in storerooms. The dead keep their treasures in graves. The living worry about thieves. The dead worry about grave robbers. Those who know contentment find happiness and wealth within themselves and don’t exhaust their spirit. If they should govern a country, they don’t trouble their people. Thus, they are able to live long.”

HUAI-NAN-TZU says, “Long ago Chih Po-ch’iao attacked and defeated Fan Chung-hsing. He also attacked the leaders of the states of Han and Wei and occupied parts of their territories. Still, he felt this wasn’t enough, so he raised another army and attacked the state of Yueh. But Han and Wei counterattacked, and Chih’s army was defeated near Chinyang, and he was killed east of Kaoliang. His skull became a drinking bowl, his kingdom was divided among the victors, and he was ridiculed by the world. This is what happens when you don’t know when to stop.”

Whenever I’m capturing my screen for gifs, my computer always picks up the music I’m listening to while I’m working. Sometimes it really goes with what I’m watching, like in this instance. I thought I’d share :)

The movie is Invincible Shaolin (1978), the song is ラスト・タンゴ・イン・パリ by Joe Hisaishi.

[zl181]

"Ts‘ao Ts‘ao or Ts‘ao Kung, afterwards known as Wei Wu Ti [A.D. 155-220]. There is hardly any room for doubt that the earliest commentary on Sun Tzŭ actually came from the pen of this extraordinary man, whose biography in the San Kuo Chih reads like a romance.[91] One of the greatest military geniuses that the world has seen, and Napoleonic in the scale of his operations, he was especially famed for the marvelous rapidity of his marches, which has found expression in the line "Talk of Ts‘ao Ts‘ao, and Ts‘ao Ts‘ao will appear." Ou-yang Hsiu says of him that he was a great captain who "measured his strength against Tung Cho, Lu Pu and the two Yuan, father and son, and vanquished them all; whereupon he divided the Empire of Han with Wu and Shu, and made himself king. It is recorded that whenever a council of war was held by Wei on the eve of a far-reaching campaign, he had all his calculations ready; those generals who made use of them did not lose one battle in ten; those who ran counter to them in any particular saw their armies incontinently beaten and put to flight." Ts‘ao Kung's notes on Sun Tzŭ, models of austere brevity, are so thoroughly characteristic of the stern commander known to history, that it is hard indeed to conceive of them as the work of a mere litterateur. Sometimes, indeed, owing to extreme compression, they are scarcely intelligible and stand no less in need of a commentary than the text itself. As we have seen, Tsao Kung is the reputed author of the Hsin Shu, a book on war in 100,000 odd words, now lost, but mentioned in the Wei Shu."

- The Art of War, Lionel Giles, 20th century

"[Cao Cao] extensively read many books, and especially liked those relating to military strategies. He copied and collected military strategies from many schools [of thought], naming it Collections of [Military Strategies]. He also annotated 13 volumes of Sun Wu['s work], all of which have been passed to this generation."

- Miscellaneous Accounts on Similarities and Differences, Sun Sheng, 4th century

Even after 1,600 years, Cao Cao's annotations on SunZi's Art of War is preserved!

[venom-mob-network]

Why do all venoms say they are from Taiwan?

Hello! Thank you for sending us an ask!

Most of the members of the Venom Mob are actually from Taiwan, which is why they would say that they are. Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, and Kuo Chui all grew up in Taipei, and all three were born in Taiwan. Sun Chien was born in Taiwan as well, though he didn't meet the other members of the Venom Mob until they were all in Hong Kong.

Lo Mang grew up in Hong Kong and Wei Pai was born in China, though we are not sure where exactly.

It might seem surprising that the majority of the Venom Mob—a group of actors associated with specifically Chinese films—are from Taiwan. The fact of the matter is, despite China's tight borders and various conflicts with surrounding countries at the time, the directors of Shaw Bros were very willing to source their actors and crewmembers from outside of China. Chang Cheh especially.

And we're glad they did, because otherwise the bulk of the Venoms never would have appeared on screen alongside other Shaw Bros greats, and become kung fu legends in their own rights.

Rekordabsteiger vor dem neunten Aufstieg? – Der #FCN-Saisonausblick 2019/2020

Da capo. Der Aus­flug in die Bun­des­li­ga war kurz. Nach nur einem Jahr been­de­te der Club die Sai­son mit der schlech­tes­ten Leis­tung in die­ser Liga aller Zei­ten. Die zwei­fel­haf­te Ehre des Titels „Rekord­ab­stei­ger“ haben wir seit­dem allei­ne inne, sonst bleibt nicht viel Nen­nens­wer­tes von der letz­ten Spiel­zeit.

Posi­tiv ist, dass alle – auch und vor allem die Fans! – von Anfang an wuss­ten, dass der Auf­stieg eigent­lich zu früh kam, dass das Team nicht erst­li­ga­reif ist. Die Zeit, sich mit dem Abstieg anzu­freun­den, war erfreu­lich lan­ge, eigent­lich stand es spä­tes­tens mit dem 0:7 in Dort­mund fest, wohin die Rei­se gehen wird. Ent­spre­chend sanft war der Auf­schlag, ent­spre­chend gut­mü­tig die Fans, ent­spre­chend schnell der Blick wie­der nach vor­ne gerich­tet.

Und das tue ich jetzt auch. In Nürn­berg wur­de viel umge­krem­pelt, haupt­säch­lich auf der Manage­ment­ebe­ne. Der neue Sport­vor­stand Pali­ku­ca ver­folgt ein ande­res Modell als sei­ne Vor­gän­ger, er lässt sich fach­lich unter­stüt­zen und bin­det Alt­stars in die Ver­eins­ar­beit mit ein. Er schafft damit eine Auf­bruch­stim­mung, die nicht ein­mal von schmerz­haf­ten Abgän­gen und zwei­späl­ti­gen Test­spie­len getrübt wird.

Apro­pos. Wie üblich wer­fe ich mal einen Blick auf die, die weg sind und die, die neu dabei sind. Es darf aber der Hin­weis nicht feh­len, dass das Trans­fer­fens­ter noch über einen Monat lang offen steht. Bis Anfang Sep­tem­ber kann noch viel pas­sie­ren.

Abgänge

Dass Edu­ard Löwen nicht mit in die zwei­te Liga gehen wird, war eigent­lich klar. Her­tha BSC bekam letzt­lich den Zuschlag und zahlt dafür ver­mut­lich sie­ben Mil­lio­nen Euro – für den Club eine wahn­sin­ni­ge Sum­me.

Ewertons Abschied kam dage­gen über­ra­schen­der. Der Innen­ver­tei­di­ger war Sicher­heits­an­ker in der Auf­steigs­sai­son und hielt auch gegen Ende der letz­ten Sai­son oft­mals die Defen­si­ve sta­bil. Kon­kur­rent HSV sicher­te sich die Diens­te des Bra­si­lia­ners. Es ist ein Ver­lust, der mit zwei Mil­lio­nen Euro ein wenig ver­süßt wird. Und ob der mitt­ler­wei­le 30-Jährige noch vie­le gute Sai­sons hat, wird sich auch noch zei­gen müs­sen.

Trotz aller Loya­li­täts­ver­spre­chen ging auch Tim Lei­bold – eben­falls zum HSV, die sich den Vor­wurf gefal­len las­sen müs­sen, die Liga kaputt­zu­kau­fen, damit es kom­men­de Spiel­zeit doch mal mit dem Auf­stieg klappt. „Lei­be“ macht die Ham­bur­ger angeb­lich um 1,8 Mil­lio­nen Euro ärmer.

Nach­dem Tor­wart Chris­ti­an Mathe­nia einen Fünf­jah­res­ver­trag unter­schrie­ben hat­te, war für Fabi­an Bred­low klar, dass sei­ne Chan­cen, Stamm­tor­hü­ter zu wer­den, kaum noch vor­han­den sind. Der 24-Jährige hat noch was vor in sei­ner Kar­rie­re, also muss­te er wech­seln. Mit­ab­stei­ger Stutt­gart gibt Aysl und zahlt sogar noch 300.000 Euro dafür. Bred­low wird sich aber auch in Schwa­ben erst ein­mal auf die Ersatz­bank set­zen müs­sen.

Edgar Sal­lis Ver­trag wur­de nicht ver­län­gert. Er wur­de in den letz­ten Jah­ren oft für sei­ne Ent­schei­dun­gen auf dem Rasen kri­ti­siert, dem gemei­nen Fan war nie so rich­tig klar, war­um er immer und immer wie­der auf­ge­stellt wur­de. Schom­mers war das Ende letz­ter Sai­son auch nicht mehr klar. Sal­li hat noch kei­nen neu­en Ver­ein.

Der viel kri­ti­sier­te ein­zi­ge Win­ter­zu­gang Ivo Illi­se­vic wur­de in der Rück­run­de drei Mal ein­ge­wech­selt, hat ins­ge­samt 36 Minu­ten gespielt und muss sich jetzt schon wie­der einen neu­en Arbeit­ge­ber suchen. Trans­fer­tech­nisch ein abso­lu­ter Fehl­schlag.

Yuya Kubo wur­de einst mit viel Vor­schuss­lor­bee­ren geholt. Manch­mal zeig­te er auch, wozu er in der Lage wäre, wenn ihm das rest­li­che Team dabei hilft. Meis­tens muss­ten sei­ne Ein­sät­ze jedoch unter „stets bemüht“ ver­bucht wer­den – das hat er mit dem kom­plet­ten Team gemein. Kubos Lei­he ende­te ver­trags­ge­mäß, der Club mach­te kein Kauf­an­ge­bot.

Auch die Lei­he von Robert Bau­er ist been­det, er kehrt zu Wer­der Bre­men zurück (die ihn wohl auch nicht wirk­lich wol­len).

Timo­thy Till­mann kam zu Aus­bil­dungs­zwe­cken von den Bay­ern nach Nürn­berg, hat eini­ge Spie­le in der zwei­ten Mann­schaft bestrit­ten und auch ein paar Startelf-Einsätze in der ers­ten (aller­dings nie über die vol­le Spiel­zeit). Auch sei­ne Lei­he wur­de plan­ge­mäß been­det.

Aus­ge­lie­hen von Spor­ting Lis­sa­bon war auch Matheus Perei­ra, defi­ni­tiv einer der bes­ten im letzt­jäh­ri­gen Team. Der Club war durch­aus an einer Über­nah­me inter­es­siert, es fehl­te aller­dings das nöti­ge Klein­geld in der Kas­se.

Extern aus­ge­bil­det (lies: an ande­re Ver­ei­ne aus­ge­lie­hen) wer­den Jakov Medic und Domi­nik Stec­zyk.

Ins­ge­samt hat der Club über elf Mil­lio­nen Euro an Trans­fer­erlö­sen gene­riert. Kauf­män­nisch war das also ein Erfolg. Dass dahin­ter aber auch schmerz­haf­te Abgän­ge ste­hen, soll­te das nicht kaschie­ren. Rich­tig gute Spie­ler wol­len halt nicht zwei­te Liga spie­len und man­che fol­gen ein­fach nur der Ver­lo­ckung des Gel­des – selbst, wenn es in die glei­che Liga führt.

Neuzugänge

Der teu­ers­te Neu­ein­kauf (kol­por­tier­te 2,5 Mil­lio­nen Euro) ist Nivo­la Dove­dan, der von Hei­den­heim kommt. Er mach­te schon in den Test­spie­len einen guten Ein­druck als Offen­siv­kraft. Hof­fen wir mal, dass er das Geld wert ist.

Mit gut 2 Mil­lio­nen Euro eben­so nicht im Son­der­an­ge­bot war Iuri Medei­ros, der wie Perei­ra von Spor­ting Lis­sa­bon kommt, im Gegen­satz zum Rück­keh­rer aber mit einem fes­ten Arbeits­ver­trag. Perei­ra habe nur Gutes über den Club erzählt, sag­te er zum Ein­stand. Er wird eben­falls die Offen­si­ve ver­stär­ken.

Als Ewerton-Ersatz ist Asger Sören­sen für eine hal­be Mil­li­on aus Salz­burg in die Noris gezo­gen. Der 23-Jährige mach­te in den Test­spie­len schon gehö­rig auf sich auf­merk­sam.

Robin Hack kommt aus Hof­fen­heim, angeb­lich auch für eine hal­be Mil­li­on Euro. Die Offen­siv­kraft ist für mich noch ein Fra­ge­zei­chen.

Für 450.000 Euro haben wir den Mit­tel­stür­mer Fabi­an Schleu­se­ner bei Frei­burg ein­ge­kauft. Ich habe sonst noch nichts von ihm mit­be­kom­men. Laut Trans­fer­markt besteht bei ihm noch ein Trai­nings­rück­stand.

Tim Hand­wer­ker hat nicht nur einen boden­stän­di­gen Namen. Der für 300.000 Euro von Erst­li­ga­auf­stei­ger Köln kom­men­de 21-Jährige ver­stärkt die Defen­si­ve.

Oli­ver Sorg kommt von Mit­ab­stei­ger Han­no­ver 96, sogar ablö­se­frei. Er dürf­te inter­es­sier­ten Fuß­ball­fans bekannt sein. Dem Ver­neh­men nach ein schmerz­haf­ter Abgang für Han­no­ver, ein erfreu­li­cher also für uns.

Felix Lohkem­per kommt vom Mag­de­burg und hat sich dort einen Namen gemacht. Die Offen­siv­kraft hat viel für Mag­de­burg geleis­tet, konn­te aber auch nicht deren Abstieg ver­hin­dern. Bis­her wur­de er sei­nen Vor­schuss­lor­bee­ren gerecht.

Andre­as Luk­se ist Tor­wart und wird sich ver­mut­lich mit Patric Klandt um die Num­mer 2 hin­ter Mathe­nia strei­ten. Da Klandt schon vor­her Num­mer 3 war und Luk­se Trai­ner Cana­di schon aus Alt­ach kennt, ist das Ergeb­nis ver­mut­lich erst­mal klar.

Fabi­an Nürn­ber­ger hat natür­lich den bes­ten Namen aller Club-Spieler. Der 19-Jährige wur­de aus der U21 beför­dert. Es kann gut sein, dass er eine Stamm­kraft in der ers­ten Mann­schaft wird.

Rund sechs Mil­lio­nen für Neu­zu­gän­ge bei rund elf Mil­lio­nen an Trans­fer­ein­nah­men – der Club hat zumin­dest wie­der das Ziel erreicht, einen ordent­li­chen Trans­fer­über­schuss zu erzie­len. Des­halb gilt aber auch wie so oft die ban­ge Fra­ge: Sind die Neu­en eine ech­te Ver­stär­kung? Kön­nen sie die Abgän­ge aus­glei­chen, am bes­ten noch über­tref­fen? Sind die Lücken gefüllt, die im Kader herr­schen?

So oder so, es wird ziem­lich sicher noch wei­te­re Neu­zu­gän­ge geben, das hat der Club bereits ange­kün­digt.

Der aktuelle Kader

Der Kader des 1. FC Nürn­berg 2019/20 (Foto: 1. FC Nürn­berg)

Der Kader (Stand: 23.07.2019) setzt sich also wie folgt zusam­men:

Tor: 26 Mathe­nia, 1 Klandt, 30 Luk­se

Abwehr: 2 Goden, 4 Sören­sen, 22 Valen­ti­ni, 28 Mühl, 33 Mar­greit­ter, 15 Nürn­ber­ger, 25 Sorg, 6 Hand­wer­ker

Mit­tel­feld: 8 Dove­dan, 10 Kerk, 18 Beh­rens, 31 Petrak, 20 Jäger, 21 Pala­ci­os, 29 Erras, 35 Fuchs (Mit­tel­fuß­bruch), 38 Rhein, 17 Hack, 40 Medei­ros

Angriff: 7 Lohkem­per, 9 Ishak, 11 Zrelak, 19 Knöll, 23 Schleu­se­ner, 24 Mis­id­jan (Kreuz­brand­riss)

Saisonausblick

Der Club will „in den nächs­ten zwei Jah­ren“ auf­stei­gen. Dass da direkt ein Back­up instal­liert wur­de, mag vor allem dar­an lie­gen, dass die kom­men­de Zweit­li­ga­sai­son mit drei Bun­des­li­ga­ab­stei­gern nicht ein­fach wird. Auch Stutt­gart und Han­no­ver wol­len sofort wie­der rauf, der HSV ist auch noch am Start (und kauft gera­de die Liga kaputt), an wei­te­ren ambi­tio­nier­ten Ver­ei­nen man­gelt es dem Unter­haus auch nicht. Ob der Club in die­ser Gemenge­la­ge tat­säch­lich einen der ers­ten drei Plät­ze ergat­tert, ist des­halb frag­lich.

Frag­los will der Club oben mit­spie­len. Wenn sich das Team gefun­den hat, traue ich ihm das obe­re Drit­tel zu, also irgend­was zwi­schen Platz 1 und 6. Aber ehr­lich gesagt glau­be ich auch dar­an, dass es ein Jahr spä­ter, wenn die gro­ßen Fische weg sind, rea­lis­ti­scher wird.

Wie immer jedoch las­se ich mich ger­ne posi­tiv über­ra­schen.

The MALineage Project Site

The Martial Arts Lineage Project website had attempted to collect lineage history and details of any martial art or person; unfortunately it is not always accessible; it partially appears on its Facebook site.

Philosophy Submitted by: dr_k_conor

There exists four 'documents', each carrying traits of history and philosophy principles that are generally presented to explain and teach LiuHe BaFa and boxing. The First I will call the 'Cave Codex' alledgedly from found within a Mt. Hua Yo Shan 華嶽山 grotto 洞. Note that the Taoist Canon is divided into three dong 洞, "caves", "grottoes". The Second is usually called the 'Five Word' verses or 'songs' 拳學 五字 歌訣; these are generally refered to as: quan2 xue2, 拳學, boxing knowledge in verse format, wu3 zi4 五字 5-character-word in length, and ge1 jue2 歌訣 'secret' verses of farewell.[this is often mistranslated as 'song']  The 'said' author is given as Li, 'East-wind' 李東風 Li Dong-feng whose name does not appear in any archaic Song Dynasty document. However, some LHBF student place great value in them. The Third 'document' the actual exercise names, for the Nanjing 66-form series of Wu Yi-hui 六十六 起式 easily can be seen as differing and each form naming demonstrates the academic proficiency of Wu as a man of the arts. Some of the 66-lines of 5-characters each also includes Chinese idioms and references to history, art, and music. http://www.silkqin.com http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id11.html

The Fourth 'document' collective are the commentaries written from various teachers to explain via verses; there are either simple two-word idioms, or longer 5 or seven word explanations.

The Six Combinations [also called 'harmonies' as unified concordances], LiuHe 六 合  are as follows: >1. bodys' structure harmonizes with the minds' awareness, >2. minds' awareness harmonizes with innate 'intent', >3. intent harmonizes with the chi (energy-flow), >4. chi harmonize with the 'spirit', >5. spirit harmonizes with 'motion', >6. motion harmonizes with the 'everywhere', [ Note: that there are actually seven factors, Ti, Xin, Yi, Qi, Shen, Tung, Kung. ]

The Eight Methods [also called 'laws' or regulations], BaFa 八法 are as follows: >1. Qi-Fa =Flow: Move the chi and concentrate the spirit >2. Ku-Fa =Bone: Genuine-structural energy when bones are correct >3. Hsing-Fa =Form: Shapes exchange freely, follow a model, pantomime >4. Sui-Fa =Following: Flexible, adaptable, and coordinated in union >5. Ti-Fa =Lifting: Lift the head upward as if suspended from space >6. Huan-Fa =Reversal: The interchange of motions reverses and reciprocates >7. Le-Fa =Limit: Restraint is needed to harness the dynamic forces >8. Fu-Fa =Hidden: The intrinsic force arises from natural obscurity without method. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id11.html http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id55.html

One of the often addended 'Fourth Document' ideas, is not from LiuHe BaFa at all, they are from late 1800's to 1900's codification of bodily anatomy often used in the zhan zhuang 站樁 'standing post' of Yi quan 意 拳  from Wang Xiang-zhai who was 'friendly' and respectful to Wu and also from some teachers of Ba-kua-palming. These are often unnecessary and may also be misleading. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id12.html A more relevant added teaching is from Huang Shou Ting, 黃手庭 of the Shanghai Wu Shu Association, who studied with Song Guang-yu 宋关羽 in Xu Shou; he discusses 8-physical aspects differently : > Qi-Luo: 起 : 落 rising + falling > Dong-Jing: 動 : 靜 moving + stillness > Jin-Tui: 進 : 退 advance + retreat > Kai-He: 開 : 合 open + close > Yin-Yang: 陰 : 陽 in+out, soft+hard > Xu-Shi: 虛 : 实 empty + full > Wa-Qiao: 跃 : 远 jumping + bridging > Liu-He: 六 : 合 internal six-pairs in harmony http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id11.html

LiuHe BaFa quan Submitted by: dr_k_conor LiuHeBaFa, LiuHe BaFa, Lok Hop Pat Fat, Six-harmony, Eight-methods Boxing Exercise http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id37.html LiuHe BaFa 六合八法 is a collective of martial concepts and boxing exercises. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id21.html LiuHe BaFa 六合八法 is also a collective of verse of concepts, the Six Harmonies 六合, obtainable by an understanding the utilization of Eight Methods 八法; each aspect is derived from archaic Chinese exercises and pugalisms. The LiuHe BaFa boxing is not directly derived from the modern versions of Tai-chi-, Xing-yi-, or Ba-kua-palm boxing. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id11.html The verse name is often abbreviated in non-Chinese as LHBF or LHPF. The core concepts and methods of the LiuHe BaFa are known to be derived from the 1900's manchurian Wu Yi-hui 吴翼翚 (1887-1958) who learned them from three differing teachers; Wu first taught them in Shanghai and later at the Nanjing National College of Martial Arts founded in 1928 and later became the Dean of Studies in 1936 [closed 1948].

Although many exercises and concepts are claimed to be from the real-life Song Dynasty Court Taoist Chen Tuan [ Bo ] 陳摶 , aka Chen Xi-yi 陳希夷 [d. 990] who was associated with the military General whose abilities made him the First Emperor of Song, Tai-zu, there exists no official or other records to support the common claim that the LiuHeBaFa- or its principle 'water' flowing or its' verse principles factually originated from the Court Taoist Chen Bo nor from his said mountain residence at Mt. Hua Yu 山 華嶽 in Shenxi Province. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id9.html

Popular naming has resulted in addending the syles' name to include this mythology: as the Chen Xi-yi Men 'sect' 華嶽希夷門 Hua Yue Xi-yi with LiuHeBaFa Boxing principles becoming: 華嶽 希門 (+) 六合八法拳.

The bonefide utility of the core LHBF verses, is that they are succinct and are applicable to all of other Chinese Internal martial arts. Although form and principle aspects of these internal martial arts [Tai-chi-, Xing-yi-, and Ba-gua-] are evident in the LHBF, there is a popular trend to classifiy the LHBF exercise as a 'fourth' art which it is not; the Chinese Martial Arts Association classifies it as a sub-style of Tai-chi-boxing. Perhaps in keeping with this method of distinction, some teachers have named their styling as a Hua-Yu Tai Chi-boxing exercise. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id58.html

There also now exists absorption of Yi-chuan, 'intuition' boxing fundamentals as set forth by founder Wang Xiang-zhai 王薌齋, (1886-1963), and his students in the LHBF system; this again results in further name changes and ,mixings with the applications of LiuHeBaFa-. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id5.html Wang Xiang-zhai is known to have interacted and cross traded to other system styles while he was a teacher at the Nanking Martial Academy [Shao-lin, tai-chi, xing-yi, etc].

To further complicate understanding, Wu Yi-hui, from his earliest martial studies, learned a shaolin-related boxing called Lu Hong Ba Shih 呂紅八勢 sometimes also called Lu Hong boxing 呂紅拳. A careful study of Wu's 66-form version made during his time in Nanjing, does shows evidence of being embedded. The LHBF core exercises are called zhu zi 築基. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id52.html

DAILY SELECTIONS FROM LAO-TZU’S TAO TE CHING — NOVEMBER 13, 2023

“The Way of Heaven is like stringing a bow pulling down the high lifting up the low shortening the long lengthening the short the Way of Heaven takes from the long and supplements the short unlike the way of Humankind which takes from the short and gives to the long who can take the long and give it to the world only those who possess the Way thus do sages not depend on what they develop or claim what they achieve thus they choose to hide their skill”

-Lao-tzu- (Taoteching, verse 77, translation by Red Pine)

KAO HENG says, “In stringing a bow, we pull the bow down to attach the string to the top. We lift the bow up to attach the string to the bottom. If the string is too long, we make it shorter. If the string is too short, we make it longer. This is exactly the Way of Heaven.” Red Pine’s reading of line two, which agrees with Kao Heng’s, is based on the Shuowen, which says, “Chang means to attach a string to a bow.”

TU ER-WEI says, “Not only the Chinese, but the ancient Greeks and Hindus, the Finns, the Pawnee, and the Arapaho all likened the moon to a bow. Thus the Way of Heaven is like a bow” (Lao-tzu-te-yueh-shen tsung-chiao, pp. 97-98).

HO-SHANG KUNG says, “The Way of Heaven is so dark, we need metaphors to understand it. To prepare a bow for use, we string it by pulling down the top and lifting up the bottom. Likewise, the Way of Heaven is to take from the strong and give to the weak.”

LU HUI-CH’ING says, “The Way of Heaven does not intentionally pull down the high and lift up the low. It does nothing and relies instead on the nature of things. Things that are high and long cannot avoid being pulled down and shortened. Things that are low and short cannot avoid being lifted up and lengthened. The full suffer loss. The humble experience gain.”

TE CH’ING says, “The Way of Heaven is to give but not to take. The Way of Humankind is to take but not to give.”

WANG P’ANG says, “The way of Heaven is based on the natural order. Hence, it is fair. The way of Humankind is based on desire. Hence, it is not fair. Those who possess the Way follow the same Way as Heaven.”

SU CH’E says, “Those who possess the Way supply the needs of the ten thousand creatures without saying a word. Only those who possess the Way are capable of this.”

LU HSI-SHENG says, “Who can imitate the Way of Heaven and make it the Way of Humankind by taking what one has in abundance and giving it to those in need? Only those who possess the Way. The Yiching [41-42] says, ‘to take means to take from the low and give to the high.’ And ‘to give means to take from the high and give to the low.’”

LI JUNG says, “Although sages perform virtuous deeds, they expect no reward and try to keep their virtue hidden.”

SUNG CH’ANG-HSING says, “The skill of the sages is unfathomable and inexhaustible. How could it be revealed?”

And RED PINE clarifies, “When Lao-tzu refers to ‘the Way of Heaven,” he is not simply referring to the sky above but to everything that lives and moves.”

THE URBAN ACTION EXPERIENCE: 'FIVE DEADLY VENOMS' W/ LU FENG IN ATTENDANCE

THE URBAN ACTION EXPERIENCE: ‘FIVE DEADLY VENOMS’ W/ LU FENG IN ATTENDANCE

For whatever reason, Chang Cheh’s Five Deadly Venoms is often considered the most well-regarded kung fu film from the genre’s golden age in the 70s and 80s.  And I’ve never understood why.  Maybe it’s because of Wu-Tang Clan bringing it into the pop culture consciousness (but then why doesn’t Ninja Checkmate, aka The Mystery of Chessboxing have the same appeal?)  Maybe it’s just the ultimate…

The Ideal Life

YANG CHU said:

"Yuan Hsie lived in mean circumstances in Lu, while Tse Kung amassed wealth in Wei.

"Poverty galled the one, and riches caused uneasiness to the other.

"So poverty will not do nor wealth either."

"But what then will do?"

"I answer enjoy life and take one's ease, for those who know how to enjoy life are not poor, and he that lives at ease requires no riches."
