A group of Thai gold dealers recently completed a quest to find the original manuscripts of the famed School of Choy Siu Nghiem, the founder of the Thais' traditional and universal art form of Kinh Nghiem Choi Tai Xiu. The primary origin of Kinh Nghiem is attributed to the Choy Siu Nghiem, who originated it in the thirteenth century. This master of Choy Siu Nghiem Chi Kung was one of the most famous teachers of chan koan reading of his time, and the influence of him and his writing can still be seen today in the writing of Thai Shaolin Kuk Wing, a series of post-its made up of letter values and meanings. more
In order to provide a better understanding of this art form, Thai practitioners are said to have maintained a close relationship with the masters of Choy Siu Nghiem and the several Kinh Nghiem mime artists that followed his teachings. These lessons are said to have evolved from Thailand to other countries such as Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. So, what really happened? How did this art form come into existence?
The evolution of the Chan or Chi Xiu arts began after Choy Siu Nghiem Chi Nu (Choy Siu Nghiem's disciple) was discovered in 1649 by his friend and student Sun Young. He received the teachings of the master from a Siamese ship captain who later became one of the best masters of the art. This captain taught the art to the master's friend, Sun Young, from a family of goldsmiths. Sun Young passed down the knowledge of the art form from one generation to the next until he died in 1703.
It is recorded thatafter the invention of printing, a bookseller named Suwaima Beni brought Choy Siu Nghiem to Siamese. He described the art form as consisting of three moves: The basic Tai Chi stance, the broad stance, and the short stance. Choy Siu Nghiem had the unique talent of being able to compose the three stances into an unending series of movements, as well as having the ability to take various stances without moving his arms, legs, or body from its position.
To perform the basic Tai Chi stance, which consists of a wide stance and an ordinary stance, a person needs to focus his energy in the center of his body, while keeping his legs steady. He will use the broad stance by lying down on his back and raising his hands straight up in front of him, not bringing them down but maintaining their straight position. The short stance is to be performed by bending the knees and the feet, while taking the central position of the body.
Once one has mastered the basics of Tai Chi, they can move onto the broad stance to form the broadest movements of the entire art form. When coming from the broad stance, the Tai Chi practitioner can perform the two main sequences of movements; Ubon movement and Lung movement.
Ubon movement is performed by extending the leg and leaning it up over the shoulder, while taking the central position of the body. This sequence is known as the "'Knee" sequence, since the knee of the standing stance is straight, while the knee of the seated stance is bent.
Lung movement is also performed by the same principle, but from the narrow stance, where the torso and the legs are leaning forward and holding the position for anextended period of time. The motion in Ubon movement can be studied by looking at the sequence of Ubon movements with respect to Lung movements. to increase your understanding of the art form.
