The Hun Yuan method is a rich system of training the mind and
body. The founder of the system, Grandmaster Feng Zhi Qiang (1928-
), had the unique opportunity to learn from two well known and respected
teachers of their time. One was Chen Fa Ke (1887-1957), 17th
generation of Chen Style, who excelled in silk reeling chan si gong power.
Chen passed on to Grandmaster Feng his vast knowledge of the Chen Style Tai
Chi, Push Hands, weapons and the Tai Chi Bang (Stick).
The other teacher was Hu Yao Zhen (1879-1973) who
mastered the three unique Taoist skills: martial arts, medicine and qigong
(energy cultivation). Hu, a famous Chinese medical practitioner, became
known as the father of modern qigong in China. From Hu, Grandmaster Feng
learnt Xin Yi Quan (Heart Mind Boxing), qigong and the Tai Chi Ruler skills.
Grandmaster
Feng is a world famous Tai Chi master. His martial skills have been tested
many times. The practice of his art has not only given him good health and
great power, it has also moulded his character and enabled him to follow the
Tao or the Natural Way.
Why is the Tai Chi
Ruler Qigong
a Unique
and
Rare Method
of Qi Cultivation?
The Tai Chi Ruler, which is a component of the Hun Yuan Tai
Chi system, is a unique method of cultivating the internal energy.
Originally, this training method was passed on to only a select few.
This
practice is rare nowadays because people are not aware of this training,
even though it provides the necessary foundation for advancing to the higher
levels in qigong.
What is the
Taoist Origin of the
Guiding Qi Needle?
The Tai Chi Ruler, also known as the Guiding Qi Needle, was
passed down to Hu Yao Zhen from his teacher, Peng Ting Jun.
Originally, the Ruler came from a famous Taoist hermit, Chen Tuan
(c871-989 A.D.), who resided on Hua Shan,
a mountain which is famous for its near-vertical cliffs and plunging
ravines. Students who went on our
2004
Tai Chi tour to China visited this
historic mountain.

Hua Shan |
The
fame of Hua Shan derives from its natural beauty which takes the form of huge
granite peaks towering over the plains of the Shaanxi
province. Throughout its many peaks and valleys are Taoist monasteries.
During the Song Dynasty, the fate of Hua Shan was determined over a game of
chess between Chen Tuan and Emperor Zhao Kuang Yi. Emperor Zhao
wanted to use Hua Shan for a military garrison. Chen wanted Hua Shan to
remain as a sacred mountain. Although the Emperor was famous for his
expertise at chess, yet Chen was skilled in the art of divination, so he
predicted the Emperor’s every move. The Taoist sage won the game and the
Emperor kept his word and left Hua Shan alone. The Chess Game Pavilion, a
monument to the contest, still stands today on top of the central peak of
Hua Shan.
How to
Feel the Qi Flow
While the Tai Chi Bang (Stick) is yang in nature, working
more on the external (joints, ligaments and muscles), the Ruler is yin in
nature, working on the internal. The Ruler is a form of qigong used to
nourish and strengthen the qi (internal energy). The Bang (Stick) is heavy
while the Ruler is light. “Qi comes quickly” with the Ruler practice,
meaning that the practitioner feels the qi easily when holding the Ruler in
both palms. Both ends of the Ruler are spherical in shape and fit
comfortably in the centre of the palms. This serves to stimulate important
acupuncture or meridian points in the palms, especially the Lao Gong point
in the centre of the palm.
What is
the Antidote to the Busy Mind?
Most people who practise qigong or meditation will tell you
that calming the mind is not easy. Much chatter passes through the mind,
especially when you want it to be quiet. The Ruler is the antidote to the
unruly mind. The Ruler serves to connect the mind, body and qi. Holding
the Ruler in both palms naturally brings your focus to the Ruler. The
movements are easy to do, gentle and relaxing, generating circular rhythms
in the body. Different movements stimulate the energy in different organs
of the body, guiding the qi in specific directions. With the sensation of
qi, your awareness will be further drawn into the energy pathways. You will
find your mind quiet and calm, fully absorbed in the practice. You will
experience deep relaxation by being fully present in the moment and will
feel very refreshed after the practice.
How to
Practise to
Suit Your Lifestyle
The Ruler training is flexible, in the sense that you can
practise the movements individually or do them as a set. This practice
gives you a good grounding which enables you to reach higher levels in
qigong. It is a synthesis of all the ingredients which are necessary for
development at higher levels. And, of course, with the smooth circulation
of blood and qi, good health is in the palms of your hands!
Testimonials
"I
have been a Tai Chi practitioner for many years. However, the feeling of qi
had always eluded me. I tried many Qigong forms but without result. When
I heard about your Tai Chi Ruler, I was both skeptical and excited. But I
definitely had to give it a try. I am pleased to tell you that I am
absolutely
delighted with the result, after practising the Ruler for a few weeks.
Besides being able to feel qi in my hands and arms, I can even feel it in my
abdomen and feet! I am now able to feel qi doing any Tai Chi and Qigong
forms! Absolutely amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for
making this powerful practice available to people like me.”

"I
have learnt another Ruler form previously. However, I really enjoy your
form because the movements are more rhythmical and require that I use my
whole body. I noticed that the Ruler itself is a bit different. I get a
stronger sensation of qi whenever I use your Ruler, doing the same set of
movements. I think I worked out where the secret lies! I am glad that I
have your Ruler and DVD!"

Reiko, Japan
******************************************
"The
Ruler itself is very beautiful and the written material is clear and very
helpful. Although I have been teaching Qigong and Tai Chi for over twenty
years, the Ruler was an eye-opener! It has slowed down my breathing and
improved my focus in all my usual practices. I feel deeply relaxed. I now
have a strong qi feeling throughout my whole body. Many thanks for your
instruction."

******************************************
"Thank
you for showing me the difference between the Ruler and Bang (Stick). I
thought they were the same! They are so absolutely different – the
instruments themselves, their purposes, respective movements and the
feeling! Now I understand how the physical flexibility and strength
compliment the internal circulation of qi. I wish I had come across your
site earlier!"

"The Bang, Ruler and DVDs
are of very high quality indeed.
I am very satisfied!"
