The text that follows is a fragment of the work of Han xingqiao "Yiquan xue" ("The study of Yiquan" , personal translation) that I find particularly interesting. Recall that the master xingqiao Han was one of the first disciple of Wang Xiangzhai and he lived to the age of 96 years ...

The man has a body, which is the focus of ongoing exchanges between its internal environment and external environment.
