Chinese numbers (1-10, 100 & 1000) for Tai Chi and Qi Gong people

Chinese numbers (1-10, 100 & 1000) for Tai Chi and Qi Gong people

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!
