Heng
Quan is considered to be neutral, or the center of the Five Elements. It is
located centrally between Yin and Yang, and constitutes a bridge between them.
In the Five Elements, it is like a ball rolling and belongs to Earth, and is
related to the spleen and the stomach. This movement is able to make the Qi
gathered at its center round and full.
Everything grows from the Earth. The old masters said that faith in the principle
is just like the spleen in the body. A person without faith fails in everything.
A person with a hurt spleen loses the harmony of the five internal organs.
Beng Quan is the important move in Xingyi. Students should pay attention to
it.
On the body, "Renshong" is the name of the cavity located between the nose
and upper lip. It is related to the spleen, and reflects the condition of
the spleen.
Song of Heng Quan
The front hand is Yang and the rear is Yin. The rear hand is always hiding
under the armpit. As you exchange the posture and release the hand (attack),
the leg raises for action.
The tongue curves upward and Qi is emitted. When Hern Quan is changing postures,
the thighs are like scissors. Triangular body; moving the important stepping,
feet and legs are maneuvered cleanly. When the rear hand is turning and becoming
Yang, it repels toward the outside.
When the step falls, the three tips should line up. The tip of the nose and
tip of the foot should be closely connected. When Heng Quan is used for striking,
ther rear fist is Yin. The front hand is Yang and its elbow protects the heart.
Left and right bend the bow and repel to the outside. The feet and hands fall
at the same time and the tongue tip is curved.
