Simple prime numbers, due to their patterns of reoccurence, sometimes lead to interesting studies. The number six
(6) and eight (8) or rather the patterns that exit as 6 of or 8 of can be surprising. ie. 8-fold geometrization and the 6-fold
ricci flows.
An amusing
part of 'martial' exercise is that martial is not an exercise; it is overcoming your need to survive and your misgivings
about killing. There is no 'brotherhood' of 'warriors'... 'war does not make one great', it makes dead. It
is also not an exercise, it is a self-instruction about your inner-structure.
Also, each person views his own view as correct and names it
uniquely; akin to baseball being stickball being batball being the 'neigborhood' game, being an 'imported, foreign pasttime
with a wooden stick and leather sphere' Note, 'boxing' day in Hongkong, is the day after Christmas when the
gift wrappings are burned.
It is easy to say, but complex to demonstrate that here is a numerical
basis and coupling effects and hierarchies resulting underlying either Kaos, Bios, Languages, and all else that exists or
that 'humans' have thought about. The theory-stories about creation, diversification, collapse-fini ...all are told
by numbers. Match the numbers correctly and learn why the great wheel of the universe turns.
These topics have already been reviewed comparing pre-bible-source
epics to chinese concepts and language symbols.
Chinese exercises names are many, virtually all of the so-called 'inner'-source exercises follow the same teaching
idea: unify-join, be 'one' with a greather 'uni-verse', or empty and join-return to a proto-source 'verse' Way;
by zen-mindedness.
It would be simplistic to say that the idea-pattern series is 0-1-2-3-4...6...8
and so on; or that practice is simply the rejoining of 8-to-6, to then 4, to the three-way trinary union of 2,
to get to unity, one, and then to 'nothing' zero.
Each of the so-called inner exercises developed and named by the
chinese can be shown to each play this numerological puzzle encoded in their names.
Partly, due to chinese reasoning, has to do with geometric-symbolism
and cosmic-numerology. The chinese 'universal' view was terrestrial-sky based: the earth was 'square'-4-sided while
heaven-sky above was circular-round, 'perfect'.
The inter-communion-support between them was explained as a doubling to
the 8-posts, a mathematical convenience. However, esoteric application of this theory, led to an 8-fold immulation
of heavens' circle.

The 6x8 + He~Fa is a simple, but deep numerical code,
linking to cosmology and medicine of the times. the 6-diseases, required the 8-cures; the 6-dimensions of space were
connected to the 8-dimensions of time.

Liu He Ba Fa: the 6x8 encoding. The idea of groups
of numbers is a simplistic method to view and to codify-remember either cosmos, world, or a collective knowledge; convenient,
but unrealistic.
Nothing, zero, yields unity,...one, which divided, yielding two, ...divided
again yields four, from which [in both the chinese mind and its ideopictograms], yields the numbers six and eight; 6 and 8
are each just adaptations from and joined to the number 4. Reality may 'appear' this simple, but often, it is not; even if
a connection found. The mind of man is not the 'mind' of the universe.
To the chinese, six collects: 6-adverse influences: ie. the environment,
weather, and temperature; 6-internals of exercise kinesthetics.
To the chinese, eight collects: 8-beneficial remedies, 8-buddhist
principles, 8-symbolic joining and separations: bagua.

Tai-Chi: the Extreme, center-'post' of 'heaven+earth', the
universe; the pole-position around which the seen photonic parts of the 'uni'-verse rotate and spin. Being 'central'
and supportive to everything, it represents highest-extreme-limit.
Tai-Chi is an epicenter and axis-center : being in the middle,
it is both origin and around which other methods must orbit, traverse, or spin.
Tai-Chi theory begins in ancient chinese thoughts about numerology and cosmology; even though later corrupted
to shaman's use, the simiple couplings of binary/triplex concepts was carried with/into the 8-patterns of pa-kua.
The principles can be found in the exercises said of Xu XuanPing of Tang Dynasty; many others however
go with the staid story that Chang SanFeng in 1400's formulated them even though there exists no bonefide records of his existence.
It is known that taoist turned neo-confucian Zhu Xi [1130-1200] enpictured the Tai-Chi as the circulating interwoven orbs,
yin/yang; this symmetry concept also goes back to earlier conceptualisations. At Hua Shan, an earlier version using the water
and fire trigrams within a circle are used; this being the first symbolic representation known; the swimming fish icon comes
later.

Ba-Gua: the
multi-fold patterns turn around the center, divide and join ..in a dual-triplet appearance; the planets and stars of
the universe, rotate or spin; the ether of the cosmos itself, does not. The lighted 'stuff' you can see, is less than
4%. The relation of binary to trinary symbolic-numerology is credited to the mythic Fu Xi; the interpretation of their
'meaning' is entangled in the unclear general elborations of the Change Classic, the YiJing, which appeared later and is as
much to ideas of neo-confucians as neo-taoist.
Ba-Gua is the pericenter, it orbits and/or spins and/or crosses back
and forh around the center, the tai-chi; as an idiotic-idiom, it could be said that ba-gua runs circles around the tai-chi
competition. In truth, they are interlinked and is is more likely that where part of a joined teaching {suggested as
a basic and an advanced set of wutang exercises}
As for names, it also should be said that the ba-gua name, although current, was unlikely first
used; a pre-name was xian-tian-wu-ji, before heaven, nothing, a more cosmological term closely linked to circle-orbit-walking
meditation; a later naming was
yin-yang-pa-pan; the ba-gua-palm name appears during its public teaching in beijing.

Xing-YI, Xin-Yi, Yi-: xingyi is Form-of-the-mind, xinyi is Heart-center-feelings-Mind-aware, innermost-Intuitive-response; the first is form-originating,
the later is intuition-originating; the xinyi-principles are basic to the mind-intent or original-intent concept of yiquan,
lhbf, waterstyle, and wunyun- or aikido. All of these titles/names are joined and are similar, each view is deeper, none
is whole correct.
Xinyi is direct but cursive, advancing but corner-cutting; as an idiot-idiom, it
could be said that xinyi runs 'corners' around its' competion. In reality, it is central in form and principles to both the
taiji and its' bagua-circling.

Hun-Yuan Yi-Qi-Zhang (PinYin) = Wan-Yun
Yat Yei Jeung (Cantonese)
'blended, original, singular, aether-Qi-energy, hand-palm' 渾元 or 混元
The named Hun-Yuan Yi-Qi, Primodial Unified-Non-Dual Qi Palm',
could easily be used as a more esoteric cosmological name for any exercise. Hun-yuan or Wan-yun appears in connection with
swirling, torqueing, twisting, turning over exercises said exiting from various sources: WuTang-hun-yuan, Chen TaiChi hun-yuan
[silkreeling] and is applied also to the mobility-sensitivity ball-rolling exercise Hun-Yuan-Liu. It is a central concept
and patterning of exchange.
Liu-He could become the Yi-He, singular-unified
harmony or reversed to He-Yi, harmony as/to one. Ba-Fa, could easily be said as eight-methods, standard
methods or methods ...to a standard, a standard of the universe or to a proto-original cosmos. Similarly, Ai-Ki-Do
could be said as He-Qi-Dao, 'unified' harmonious Qi, or Yi-Qi, unified Qi, to the standard of Dao, the guiding
path, alternately to the standard of the proto-original, the Yuan.
Aikido=HeQiDao: Harmony of Qi-flow with the flow of the 'Way' of Nature; the spirit is expressed and the qi is inspired to join.
The name and concept of aiki-do are said similarly as he-ba 'harmony' by 'methods', when the liu-he, the six-harmonies are
one, it flows united, he-qi or he-shen 'harmonious-spirit'.
How this is done or to what standard? Other schools say blah-blah-chuan, by
boxing; blah-blah-chuang, but palm-change-waving, blah-blah-dao, buy understaing 'fate' and making a fortunate-way, a dao.
The counter-parrallel concept entering here is, you can conform to the situ-nature of your environ-universe as it is...will
be...or ...as it was, yuan 'original'. This concept of get back to basics, original, by change, by turning things around is
useful, but dangerously misleading due to its' simplicity also.

The earlier Sung Dynasty water-fire
trigram inner-alchemy symbol inscribed at the base of Mt.Hua in Shensi Province predates the later yin-yang spiral-orbit symbol
ascribed to a Neo-confucian scholar Zhu Xi [1130-1200].
The differences are more than just image-symbolic, their symbolic-content and subject-intent widely differs. The early water/fire
symbol gives a chemical methodology; the swirling spiral reversal of the tai-ji-tu informs that to reverse direction, you
need to transform [hua] by turning thing over and around [hui], to switchback.
