Bagua Zhang is Like a Dragon – Advanced Levels

1. Level Two: Bagua 64 Palms – The Trunk of the Bagua Tree

We move into level two of Bagua Zhang training from level one, the fundamentals. Level two focuses on the Bagua 64 palms, probably the most familiar form of Bagua Zhang to most people. However, there are many versions, and almost every Bagua school has its own unique set. Many (including myself at one time) even believed it was the only form of Bagua Zhang.

The height and straightness of a tree depend on its trunk, which determines its future and is very important. The 64 Palms are like this. Their importance lies in practicing how to handle changes and enhancing this ability. However, if a student sees only the trunk and not the whole tree (roots, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits), knowing only the 64 Palms without understanding the entire Bagua Zhang system is a narrow view and doesn't equate to a proper understanding of Bagua Zhang.

In the Wutan School of Chinese Martial Arts, the Bagua 64 Palms include solo practice and partner drills. Just as Ba Mu Zhang (Eight Mother Palms), Xiao Kai Men (Small Opening Door), and Si Xing Ba Zhang (Four Animals Eight Palms) involve same-trigram pair drills, the 64 Palms involve changes between upper and lower trigrams. Grandmaster Liu Yun Qiao once reminded me that in Bagua Zhang, besides practicing steps in circular arcs, one should find partners for drills and frequently change partners to adhere to Bagua Zhang's concept of seeking novelty and change. Master Adam Hsu and our Jason Tsou Kung Fu Academy have both promoted the paired practice of the 64 Palms, with sides A and B engaging in two-person drills where offensive and defensive techniques and positions continuously change, making it more complex than the mirror-image practice of Xiao Kai Men and Ba Mu Zhang. The saying "Han Xin commands troops, the more, the better" applies to Bagua Zhang in that more varied practice aids martial progress.

The principles of partner drills are no more than Tian Shi (timing), Di Li (position), and Ren He (coordination), which means adeptly seizing the right timing, constantly adjusting to advantageous positions, and sharply coordinating with the opponent's force. This stage requires full-body tactile awareness, emphasizing sticking to the stake with all body parts and focusing on the twisting and coiling energy of "rolling, turning, Thrusting, and wrapping."

2. Level Three: Bagua Chuan Lin (Through the Forest) Palm– The Branches of the Bagua Tree

A tree's branches are dense and complex, even more so in a dark forest. This stage aims to train how to enter and exit the forest unharmed.

Most people may be unfamiliar with Bagua Chuan Lin Palm. Its full name is Long Xing Bagua You Shen Chuan Lin Lian Huan Palm. It's too long to remember easily, so it's simply called Chuan Lin Palm or Forest Palm. As the name suggests, practicing this palm is like entering a forest where one must constantly avoid branches and other obstacles while continually seeking a way out. Similarly, when practicing the routine, although there is no forest ahead, one should imagine it in their mind, constantly changing direction, speed, and height to move freely, using twisting energy throughout. It's best to set up multiple stakes for this palm, practicing like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Besides practicing on the stakes, one should also practice off the stakes, not indeed leaving but practicing the ability to sense from the body's external magnetic field.

Why leave the stakes? In each stage, Bagua Zhang trains in combat techniques. In the first two levels, we focus on one-on-one fighting. However, this level advances to dealing with multiple opponents, pushing changes to the extreme, making "neither close nor distant" necessary. Facing many opponents, one should avoid entanglement, practice with fellow students, fend off many with few, hit and then run, and not linger in battle. Escaping unscathed is not about luck but speed, intuition, wisdom, and experience. Forest Palm is highly challenging and demanding, and mastering it signifies becoming a Bagua Zhang expert.

Next time, I will introduce how our school strengthens Bagua Zhang in various ways.

八卦猶龍－進階篇

第二階 八卦64 掌：八卦樹之樹幹

第一階為基礎，進入第二階就是一般人最熟悉的八卦64掌了，然而其版本眾多，幾乎每一個八卦教室都有它們的專屬，還被許多人(包括當年的我) 認為它是八卦掌唯一的套路。

一顆樹長得高不高，直不直當然看樹幹，它決定了樹的未來，十分重要，64掌亦复如此。其重要性是磨練如何應付變化，並將此能力提昇。不過學者如果只見樹幹不見樹的全貌，(樹根，樹枝，樹葉，花，果子). 只知64 掌而不知整個八卦掌體系，以偏概全那就不算對八卦掌有真正的了解。

武壇的八卦64 掌套路不只是單練還有雙人對練。如同八母掌，小開門，與四形八掌是八卦同卦的對練，而64掌是上下卦的變化，師爺曾經提醒我八卦掌除了要以圓弧練步，要找人對練套路。更要經常更換對手，此乃八卦掌求新求變的觀念。徐紀師伯與我們龍驤武壇均有推動64對掌，分甲乙兩方雙人對練，兩邊攻防技術與位置不斷變化，比起小開門八母掌的鏡像對掌當然更為複雜。成語 “韓信將兵，多多益善”，對八卦掌而言，越多變化的練習對武術的進步越有幫助。

雙人練習的原則不外乎是：天時(時機),地利(位置), 人和(協調). 也就是要有機靈地掌握適當時機，不斷地調整有利位置，敏銳地的協調對方的力道。此階要有全方位的觸覺， 因此，此階段的上樁功要強調全身各部位與樁的貼靠並強調滾鑽爭裹的纏絲勁。

第三階 八卦穿林掌：八卦樹的樹枝

一顆樹的樹枝密密麻麻地，已是複雜，更不用說到了黑壓壓的森林裡。進入後如何全身而出就是訓練此階的目的。

一般人對於八卦穿林掌可能陌生， 其全名是龍形八卦游身穿林連環掌。 太長了，不容易記得住，故簡稱穿林掌。顧名思義， 練習此掌就如同進入森林除了要不停躲避樹枝等障礙物，還要不斷找尋出路。同理而言，練習套路時前方無林但心中有林，要求不斷地改變方位，速度，高低， 要練到進退自如， 以纏絲勁貫穿全局。此掌上樁訓練最好能設立多個樁，練習如穿花蛺蝶般地在樁間游走。上樁之餘尚不忘離樁。然非真離，乃若即若離。練得是我們身外磁場的感應能力。

為何要離樁呢？ 八卦掌每階都是訓練打法， 第一二階， 我們還停留在一對一的打法， 此階更上一層樓， 要做到對付多人，將變化推向極致， “若即若離”成了必要。面對眾多敵手絕對不可纏鬥，與同門操練，以寡禦眾，打了就跑，不可戀戰。 能衝出重圍全身而出不是靠運氣，靠的是速度，感覺，機智，與經驗。穿林掌難度甚大，要求極高，練就了即是八卦掌高手。

下回我會介紹本門如何以不同方式來強化八卦掌。

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) Masterpost

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

10/24/2024 updates:

I know this is an active month as far as me posting. I'll probably disappear for a few months after this, you know how it goes. But for now, I am going to want these notes in the future.

Japanese: I'm 4700 sentences into glossika japanese now, out of 6400, so ~73%. I will get through the new sentences by the end of the month hopefully, and then just do reviews in November.

My hopes that increasing listening comprehension/knowledge of words would help my reading skill is actually working out: when I read manga, I am finding it easier and if there's a lot of furigana then that helps fill in the gaps for kanji words I guess (based on hiragana) but don't know the pronunciation for. I tried reading my japanese translation of Guardian by priest today, print copy, and I can understand everything on the page (except one use of 'yoku' hiragana which I am not sure what it was conveying). Unfortunately, my print novel does NOT use furigana on a lot of kanji, so a weird thing happened where the words I know the pronunciation of I could mentally 'hear' the japanese pronunciation of those kanji words, but the kanji words I didn't know from listening... I just mentally 'heard' chinese. So I'm going to need to read novels, or anything without furigana, WHILE LISTENING TO AUDIO. Otherwise I'm not going to pick up kanji pronunciations properly. So my plan to move to Satori Reader after glossika, is going to work well.

It's interesting to me just how many words in a novel... look just like the hanzi words in chinese (some kanji are slightly different but they're still recognizable if you know hanzi). So like... "try on" is 試着 shi-chaku (compared to chinese shishi 试穿 shi-chuan) which are quite similar pronunciations and shi is the same character and rough pronunciation, and if I saw 試着 in chinese I'd assume it means try-ing. Basically, it's recognizable as a word clearly related to 'try'. But "try" is 試す (tamesu) versus chinese 试试 shishi or 尝试 changshi, quite different pronunciation, still an ability to guess meaning. But then words like human resources, Special Investigations Division, Gate Guardsman, human-realm, Shen Wei's soul cutting title in the novel, souls, black-cat, are all similar kanji to the hanzi I would expect when reading chinese. So a LOT of words are quite easy to guess the meaning of but I'm lost on their pronunciation unless I already learned the japanese pronunciation of those kanji-words. This happens a lot with ALL kanji words (as in no hiragana conjugation).

This is just interesting to encounter, some kanji have super similar pronunciations like xiang-xin 相信 believe compared to japanese shin-jiru 信じる with the 信 pronounced roughly similar as xin and shin. While others are like guarantee 保证 bao-zheng in chinese, hoshou-shimasu 保証します in japanese use the same characters but totally different pronunciation. You can't be certain the japanese kanji pronunciations will be similar to the chinese. Kanji-only words seem to more often be similarly pronounced, but that is not true enough to rely on. One of the comparisons I made early on lol was japanese 時間jikan and chinese 时间 shijian for time. To my mind, ji and shi are similar enough sounds to notice, but kan and jian aren't. I suppose everyone will make those distinctions a bit differently. I just know seeing 時間 and hearing jikan the first time, it made sense that would be the japanese pronunciation to my mind from what I knew about the characters, but also threw me off for being the amount different that it was.

I'm curious what other language learners who knew hanzi before learning japanese words feel about picking up kanji pronunciations... I should go search some forums...

I do 100% think knowing hanzi makes figuring out the meaning of kanji words much easier. And for me, since Heisig and mnemonics never worked for me learning kanji (I think because I mentally NEEDED a sound to tie with the kanji but Heisig's book and suggestions didn't provide that or have a solution for that for kanji since kanji have multiple pronunciations, whereas when I studied hanzi I immediately tied a pronunciation to each new hanzi I learned so they stuck easier in my mind), learning hanzi was much easier. Once I had a bunch of meanings tied to characters in my head (thanks to learning hanzi), then seeing kanji presented only the issue of 'how do I pronounce it' and no longer the double issues of both figuring out pronunciation And meaning.

I also went through 2 songs yesterday, Hikari by Utada Hikaru and Doctor by Chanmina, and learned the meaning of all the words in the songs. The combo of romaji/listening for pronunciation plus the kanji-hiragana lyrics worked well. I finally get what my friend meant when they said Utada sings japanese... different. The pronunciation's clear, it's not that. It's that syllables I don't expect to be elongated when singing sometimes are, and the part of the word Utada decides to elongate is not always what I'd expect. I do, however, know the tune of that song intensely well lol as I've heard it since I was 11, so it wasn't hard to adjust. Chanmina raps mostly, and so probably as expected in rap, syllables were all around the same length.

tldr: the approach of listening-focused study has been helping the way I've hoped, and I'm seeing noticeable improvements in reading skill and listening skill, moving onto Satori Reader next will work well I think.

Chinese: so frustrating lol. But I just need to stick with it. Getting myself to commit to listening to 8 hours of audio... never mind 20, or 50, or the 200+ I REALLY need to listen to see the kind of significant improvements I'm hoping for? It's harder than you'd think. You'd think I could just put on audio, let it play in the background, and be good. But I get so frustrated I don't understand every word (or even just the words that SOUND familiar and I know I should recognize), so then I feel the urge to Replay certain sections, to re-listen to the same 5-10 minutes over and over, to focus harder and try to catch what I'm not quite getting, to look up the words I am getting frustrated by. And then before you know it, I spent 1 hour on my phone's translation app, constantly replaying audio in 30 second chunks, and was not able to multi-task at all. Instead of playing it in the background, I focused on it totally and tried to transcribe a bunch of words into a translator app, and then exhausted myself, and then don't feel up for doing another hour of that kind of intensive listening. The solution, of course, is for me to just fucking let go of being a perfectionist and LISTEN IN THE BACKGROUND. But then I feel irritated with myself for not looking up "just a few words" (a lie, I'll look up dozens) because I 'almost get them' and just want to quickly know what they mean instead of waiting several minutes for my brain to figure it out gradually.

I am TRYING to listen in the background. My perfectionist tendencies kick in a lot, though.

Despite it all! I am already seeing small progress, which will hopefully convince me to STOP intensively listening and looking everything up, and accept that background listening while working or walking WILL also result in progress.

Last night I listened to a podcast a friend shared with me, about Chinese supernatural stories. I could understand probably 90% or more of each word they said, I was just a bit puzzled by if in those first 7 minutes the podcasters were summarizing the several supernatural stories they'd be delving into for the rest of the hour, or if they were listing off several different supernatural stories SUPER fast. I noticed progress, because I listened to that podcast last week and could barely understand anything. So clearly, in part I just needed to train my listening skills more to hear what I already know. I also felt a bit of assurance, because I recognized nearly every word the podcasters said, so I do know a LOT of conversational words. In audiobooks, sometimes the words used are a lot less common than the words in dramas or conversations... since the words people say (unless they're giving lectures or educating or delving on a niche subject) tend to be a bit more commonly used. Knowing that, at least when it comes to conversational words, I do know around as many words as I expected I knew, was comforting.

Also, now I know I can listen to that podcast for 'easier' listening practice, when audiobooks are frustrating me.

Spanish: hahahahaha haaaaaaa. Should I be doing anything with Spanish right now? No, not really. I've got no time (I'm allotting an hour to Japanese and Chinese study each, with 2 hours for each a day if I can fit it in). I do not need to learn it, there's no pressing need in my life or things I'm directly involved in that require me to understand more Spanish. I'm just procrastinating my actual goals in other study, apparently.

My little attempt to use Dreaming Spanish got me curious. 1. About Comprehensible Input learning (without word lookups), and 2. about how much Spanish I could just 'pick up' with exposure, given the French I know, the ~2000 Spanish words I'm vaguely familiar with, and that 1 summer of Spanish cram study I did. Does it help that I have any easier time listening to Spanish and picking out words compared to when I listen to French? It sure does. Out of curiosity I looked up some of the beginner podcasts Dreaming Spanish learners were recommending on the r/dreamingspanish subreddit (which has great general study suggestions, if studying any language tbh). One of them was How to Spanish, so I looked that podcast up and listened to an episode. It was understandable, which was cool. So I may listen to more. Now, it is for beginners, so it's probably made to be understandable even if you know nothing or almost nothing. Still, it felt cool to understand! I also tried listening to a Spanish audiobook of a kid's book I've read before in English, listened to maybe 20 minutes, and had no trouble following the main plot based on the words I was catching. Now, to be fair, I was probably relying heavily on proper-nouns to place what scene and paragraph was about what. But still, interesting.

If I start trying to watch a Spanish show, well. I'm probably just doing more sidetracking and having fun. I really want to watch Elite, regardless.

Learn Chinese in Chinese stories｜Chinese legends｜Nuwa mended the sky

Human always like to live by water. The Yellow River Basin in China also gave birth to the earliest Chinese culture, and China's floods seem to be quite frequent, the  five thousand years of Chinese history also was a history of water control.

In the Chinese legend, the water God Gonggong fought with the fire God Zhurong, Gonggong damaged the Buzhou mountains which supported the sky and earth, the water came out of the sky river, flooding the world. This was the first great flood. Finally, the human creator Nu WA made a multicolored divine stones out of hot fire

and mended the sky.

人类总是逐水而居。在中国的黄河流域也诞生了最早的华夏文化，而中国的水灾似乎特别多，中国人五千年历史，也是一部治水的历史。

传说水神共工与火神打架，一怒之下撞坏了支撑天地的不周山，天河的水流出，人间洪灾泛滥，这就是人类第一次大洪灾。最后，人类的创造者女娲娘娘炼成五彩巨石，终于修补了天空的漏洞。
