This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beverages of the Chinese; Kung-Fu, or Tauist Medical Gymnastics: The Population of China; A Modern Chinese Anatomist and a Chapter in Chinese Surgery The Chinese mode of infusion is perhaps not so well suited for our teas, as in their preparation they are already Spoiled to delicate palates accustomed to the less highly cured, sun-dried teas of China and Japan. Tea which requires milk and sugar has been spoilt by repeated firing and fermentation. The infusion made from such tea is coarse and bitter, and so we find it necessary to disguise its bitterness with srrgar and neutralize its astringency by milk, a thin alburninorrs fluid, which forms in the stomach an insoluble albuminate of tannin. We thus rnollify and sweeten the black drarrglrt we are so fond of imbibing. In this way, we first make our tea unpalatable and semi-poisonous, and then minimize its nauseous and bad qrralities by additions which destroy the delicate flavour. Tea should not be infused and left to draw, so as to take the strength out of it, as it is termed, but the leaves should be subjected to a rapid percolation with hot water. This object is attained by using a cup with a perforated bottom, held over or fitting into the teapot while the hot water is poured upon the leaves. The leaves do not come into contact with the infusion after it has passed the strainer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why do some men live, others die? Why are some diseases light, others severe ? To answer these questions we must refer to the existence in sufficient or insufficient quantity of the original vital principle. The origin and foundation of the five viscera' depend upon and spring from the vital principle. It is here where the Yin and Yang reside, and from which these male and female principles emanate, and whence proceeds the breath in expiration and to which it goes in inspiration. There is no fire nor oven, and yet the body in its furthest parts is kept quite warm ; there is no water or reservoir, and yet the five viscera are kept moist." This is a professional reproduction of a book published in 1895. Kung-Fu or Taoist Medical gymnastics, the beverages of the Chinese, Chinese anatomy and surgery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first mention in Chinese history of a system of movements, proper to maintain health and cure disease, dates back to pre-historic times, the time of the Great Yü, when the country was inundated, and the atmosphere was nearly always wet and unhealthy, and disease overflowed, so to speak, the earth. The Emperor ordered his subjects each day to take military exercise. The movements, which they were thus obliged to make, contributed not a little to the cure of those who were languishing, and to maintain the health of those who were well. In this book are presented two exercises for each month, making 24 in all, arranged according to the 24 solar terms or periods (breaths) of the year, corresponding to the day on which the sun enters the first and fifteenth degree of one of the zodiacal signs. To each of these an appropriate name is given, which we have retained, as they are in popular use. The exercises are arranged according to the four seasons, and each season is prefixed and suffixed with some animal representing the correlated viscera. These we have also retained from their quaintness, excellency of design, and with the view of conveying an idea of the Chinese correspondencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago in ancient China, there were old Kung fu masters who had miraculous skills. Even in their old age, their bodies were like iron. When they struck back, it only took one hit and the enemy was dead. Now many centuries later we no longer see these skills. The basic martial skills once taught are ignored and more "modern" day training is used instead. If these new methods are better, then why does the modern martial artist not exhibit the same skills of the old masters? The answer is simple, they have no chi skills. In this book, Sifu Li tells you how to build chi. What herbs to take and the importance of sexual energy. Included is a 100 day plan to increase your internal energy or "chi" and learn the basics of internal striking methods.This book also includes instructions on how to make and use Dit Da Jow liniment for striking training.

Book excerpt: This book is a practice textbook for those who are going to perform fitness gymnastics effectively. Conventional fitness gymnastics uses muscular motion that twists the body strongly or lengthens it. In many cases, muscular motion via the conventional method produces aches caused by muscular strain and the feeling of fatigue after practice. Akio Nakae, a master in Indian yoga and Chinese Chi Kung has developed a new form of martial arts that eliminates muscle strain. By combining the graceful body movements of ballet with the skill of the qigong, a high kick can be performed without feeling an ache anywhere in the body. When practicing gymnastics this way, the body becomes light and flexible and is able to perform pliant and graceful movements. It is the best fitness gymnastics for all individuals who seek health and beauty.
