"Huangtan Hexagram Qi Ming Interpretation", Qing Dynasty Taoist manuscript, 70 pages. The Qing Dynasty was the last great unified dynasty in China's feudal society, and the culture was dominated by traditional Confucianism, and Taoism also had a profound influence during this period.
As one of the Taoist classics, the Huangtan Hexagram Qi Ming Jie recorded a wealth of theoretical and practical experience in Qi (qì), and played an important guiding role for practitioners at that time. The 70 pages of this manuscript elaborate on the nature of Qi and the method of cultivation, which is a precious legacy of Taoist scholarship. Taoism has a long understanding of Qi, believing that Qi is the basic substance that constitutes all things in the universe, and is the pure form of Qi, which has the characteristics of being intangible and solid.
In the "Imperial Altar Hexagram Qi Ming Explanation", the theory of Qi not only stays at the level of abstract ideas, but also emphasizes the practical application of Qi. For example, Zhang Sanfeng, a famous Taoist scholar in the Qing Dynasty, achieved the state of physical and mental unity through the cultivation of Qi, and thus founded Taijiquan in the practice of martial arts, integrating the theory of Qi into the boxing method, forming a unique way of energy operation in the body, and combined with the concept of yin and yang five elements, creating a kind of internal and external cultivation of the kung fu system. This fully demonstrates the rich connotation and practical value of the Qi theory expounded in the "Imperial Altar Hexagram Qi Ming Explanation" in practical cultivation.
As an important chapter of Qi theory, the Imperial Altar Hexagram Qi Ming Interpretation provides valuable guidance and enlightenment for practitioners through an in-depth analysis of the nature and operation laws of Qi body. In today's society, people's demand for physical and mental health is increasing, and the practical value of Qi theory will continue to be further recognized and explored.
