Qi Gong and Taijiquan is full of numbers. 8 brocades, 108 form movements, 3 treasures etc. Thus I want to show you the numbers from China!
Let’s start with the Chinese number 1-10; 100 and 1000. And I added some examples from my Taijiquan & Qi Gong Dictionary!
Chinese numbers 1-10; 100; 1000
1 一 yī Yi Lu (First Form in Chen style Taijiquan)
2 二 èr Er Lu (Second Form in Chen style Taijiquan)
3 三 sān San Bao (Three Treasures)
5 五 wǔ Wu Qin Xi (Five Animals Qi Gong)
6 六 liù Liu Zi Jue (Six Healing Sounds)
8 八 bā Qi Jing Ba Mai (Eight Extraordinary Meridians)
10 十 shí
100 百 bǎi Bai Hui (“Hundred Convergences”, acupoint Du Mai 20)
1000 千 qiān Qian Jin Zhui (Thousand Pound Sinking)
I know that the strangest thing about the Chineses language is the pronunciation. If you want to learn counting in Mandarin Chinese, have a look at this video and repeat what he says:
Or you can also go to this online dictionary and listen to 100 or 1000 or any other Chinese word!
Happy Qi!
