(VI) The arrogant dragon will regret

Moves: Steps can be real or fake, and can be used to retreat or advance. Raising the palm is like a king lifting a tripod, and advancing the palm is like a giant pushing a mountain.

Mental formula: Things will turn to the opposite extreme, and overconfidence will lead to regret. With the extremely yang force, wait until the end of the strong crossbow, regret will bring good luck, and stinginess will bring disaster.

Usage: If the enemy attacks from the top of your head, then stand in a bow stance and wait, as agile as a wheel, raise your palm to receive the attack, lift it over your head, wait until the enemy's force is exhausted, then turn your palm and slap it. When the two Yangs fight, it will be auspicious if you know how to repent.

Instructions: Draw an arc with both hands and push the palms upward.

Source: Qian Gua: Upper Nine, the arrogant dragon will regret. Xiang: The arrogant dragon will regret, and the fullness cannot last long. Wenyan: Upper Nine says: "The arrogant dragon will regret", what does it mean? Confucius said: "Noble but without position, high but without people, wise people in the lower position but without support, so they will regret when they act. "The arrogant dragon will regret, the disaster of poverty. A great man is one who is in harmony with the virtue of heaven and earth, the brightness of the sun and the moon, the order of the four seasons, and the good and bad fortune of ghosts and gods. He is in harmony with the heaven in the first place and does not violate it, and he obeys the time of heaven in the second place. If heaven does not violate it, how much more so will people? How much more so will ghosts and gods? The word "arrogance" means knowing how to advance but not how to retreat, knowing how to survive but not how to perish, knowing how to gain but not how to lose. It is only the sage! Only the sage knows how to advance and retreat, survive and perish without losing his integrity!

The second move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms: Flying Dragon in the Sky:

This move must first jump into the air and strike from a high position to show its extraordinary power. It must be combined with the skill of light jumping to strike the enemy from top to bottom, which should be considered a martial art with high skills.

(V) Flying Dragon in the Sky

Moves: Step back and split your palms, one in front and one behind, one up and one down, jump up, like a flying dragon in the sky, descend and strike.

Mental technique: A flying dragon in the sky stretches and rises, like a successful hero, and soars into the universe; if it is struck from below, it bends and sinks, carrying the power of thunder and lightning, with the potential for a river to burst its banks.

Usage: If the enemy attacks from the middle or lower road, and hits my body or tail, then turn sideways and press the palm to neutralize it, this is Yin; raise the palm and knee to hit it, this is Yang.

Description: Left foot independent right palm strike, right foot independent left palm strike.

Source: Qian: Nine-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, it is beneficial to see the great man. Xiang: The flying dragon is in the sky, the great man created it. Wenyan: Nine-five says "The flying dragon is in the sky, it is beneficial to see the great man". What does it mean? Confucius said: "Things of the same tone respond to each other, and things of the same spirit attract each other. Water flows to the wet, fire flows to the dry, clouds follow the dragon, and wind follows the tiger. When a sage acts, all things will follow him. Those who are based on heaven are close to those above, and those who are based on the earth are close to those below, so each follows its kind."

The third move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms - Dragon Fighting in the Wild (War Dragon in the Wild):

This is a very mysterious skill in the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing. The left arm and the right palm can be either real or fake, and there is no limit to the style. Using the techniques of real and fake, yin and yang to disturb the opponent, you can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, which is a strategy to lure the enemy.

Moves: Stand up, then move your palms from the sides of your body to the top of your head, lunge, and slap your palms downward and forward.

Heart Sutra: The earth’s position is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with thickness. The dragon fights in the wild, and the yin connects to the earth.

Usage: No way to retreat, Yin turns to Yang. Close combat method, hit the enemy's arm joints with both palms, or hit the ears, and then push forward.

Instructions: Put both palms through the ears and swing to the left; Put both palms through the ears and swing to the right; Press the middle with both palms and push to the left; Press both palms and push to the right.

Source: Kun: Upper Six, Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow. Xiang: Dragons fight in the wild, their path is exhausted. Wenyan: Yin doubts Yang and must fight, because it doubts the absence of Yang, so it is called dragon.

The fourth move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms: Hidden Dragon:

The right hand is bent with the index and middle fingers, half fist and half palm, hitting the enemy's chest, while the left hand hooks inward at the same time, right push and left hook, making it difficult for the enemy to dodge. This is a pincer attack, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide, and it is all under your control.

Qi flows from Dantian to Dadun, Xingjian, Taichong, Zhongfeng, Ligou, Zhongdu, Xiguan, Ququan, Yinbao, Zuwuli, Yinlian, Jimai, Zhangmen, Qimen, and meets at Qinglengyuan.

(1) Hidden Dragon (Dragon and Snake Hiding)

Moves: Quickly retreat, sink the Qi into Dantian, walk like a dragon with bow steps, and slap down with both palms.

Secret technique: When you first approach the enemy camp, find out their true strengths and weaknesses. With one yang at the bottom, you can hide from the world without any worries. Hidden and not seen, do not use your latent dragon.

Usage: When two people first join hands to fight, they are not sure about the enemy's situation. At this time, it is better to use stillness to control movement and wait for the enemy to tire. When the enemy advances, I retreat. I receive the attack with both palms, shake my wrist and hit out, like a dragon entering the water, to dissolve the enemy's attack and make it lose its center of gravity. Then I can turn my hand over to hit it. Turning your hand over makes clouds, and turning your hand over again makes rain.

Instructions: Roll the ball under your palms and push it outwards.

Source: Qian Gua: Chujiu, Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use. Xiang: Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use, Yang is below. Wenyan Zhuan: Chujiu says: Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use, what does it mean? Confucius said: "Dragon is a hidden dragon with virtue. It does not change in the world, does not become famous, and is not bored when it is away from the world. It is not bored when it does not see the truth. It acts when it is happy, and disobeys when it is sad. It is indeed unshakable, and it is a hidden dragon."
