81. Pa-kua Tung is regarded as the modern father of Pakua. By defeating the great Hsing-i masterKuo Yun-shen in a duel, he effected a merger of the two similar systems. http://www.taikyokuken.co.jp/english/einfo/infopa.html

Pa-kua Chang Pa -kua Chang arose out of the ancient Chinese philosophy surrounding the concept of the Eight Trigrams (from the I Ching ); together with T'ai-chi and Hsing-i, it completes the trinity of 'internal' martial arts. Legend has it that near the end of the Ch'ing dynasty, Tung Hai-ch'uan met two Taoist sages deep in the mountains from whom he learned the secrets of the art. It is known as an art that is practiced by the unique technique of "Walking the Circle," but its true martial applications are surrounded by a veil and cannot be discerned by those who are not students of the art. Because it is an excellent system of such a high level, students at the AJSMAF are allowed to begin training in Pa-kua only after they have practiced both T'ai-chi and Hsing-i for a considerable period and have become quite proficient in both arts. Pa-kua is based upon the theory of Yin-Yang and the Eight Trigrams, and its rudiments include "eight palms": 1) standing, 2) carrying, 3) supporting, 4) cutting, 5) piercing , 6) thrusting, 7) grasping, and 8) ox-tongue. In addition, these eight palms are combined in eight basic forms: 1) Single Change of Palm (

History and Lineage of Kai Sai (Christopher G.

While pursuing a diverse assortment of boxing arts, he came to realize that they shared a abstract their common essence in the form of ten core principles. Casey was thus like Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician who discovered that all the geometry known in his day rested on five axioms and five postulates. Although we owe our highly formalized understanding of the principles to Mr.Casey, he did not discover them on the practical level; they were discovered centuries ago and were handed down from generation to genera- tion, always to a privileged few. But Casey, should be recognized as one of the

Ba Gua Zhang AN INTRODUCTION TO BA GUA ZHANG B a Gua Zhang is recognized as one of the three orthodox "internal" styles of Chinese martial art (the other two being Xing Yi Quan and Tai Ji Quan). Ba Gua literally translates to Eight trigrams. These trigrams are symbols which are used to represent all natural phenomena as described in the ancient Chinese text of divination, the Book of Changes (Yi Jing). Zhang means palm and designates Ba Gua Zhang as a style of martial art, which emphasizes the use of the open hand in preference to the closed fist. Ba Gua Zhang, as a martial art, is based on the theory of continuously changing in response to the situation at hand in order to overcome an opponent with skill rather than brute force. A lthough there are several theories as to the Origins of Ba Gua Zhang, recent and exhaustive research by martial scholars in Mainland China conclude without reasonable doubt that the Art is the creation of a single individual, Dong Hai Chuan. Dong was born in Wen An County, Hebei Province about 1813. Dong practiced local martial arts (which reportedly relied heavily upon the use of open hand palm techniques) from his youth and gained some notoriety as a skilled fighter. At about 40 years of age, Dong left home and traveled southward.

Magnetstein, Magneteisen, Magneteisenstein, Magneteisensand, Magneterz, Magnetit Lodestone, Loadstone, Magnetite In diesem Abschnitt wird vor allem die Geschichte des Magnetsteins und dessen seltsames Verhalten beschrieben. Mythen, Sagen und Erzählungen der "alten" Völker beinhalten eine Fülle von Mitteilungen zum Magnetismus. In altägyptischen Hieroglyphen, Tempelschriften und Keilschrifturkunden von Euphrat und Tigris finden sich Hinweise; Legenden der Mayas berichten darüber. Hier wird nur ein wenig über die wichtigsten "magnetischen Ereignisse" aufgelistet, die in China und Europa stattfanden. China Der erste Kompass Wahrscheinlich sind Magnetsteine mindestens seit 800 v. Chr. in China bekannt. Bis sie zu einer praktisch-technischen Anwendung genutzt wurden, vergingen etliche Jahrhunderte. Der usprünglich wichtige Magnetstein wurde immer unwichtiger, oder sogar überflüssig. Der "Schwimmende Fisch" (Thermo) wurde erfunden, dann die "Schwimmende Nadel". Außerdem gab es spitzengelagerte Südzeiger mit einem Kern aus Magnetstein sowie fadengehängte Eisennadeln. 1044 erschien das Buch "Wu Ching Tsung Yao", eine Sammlung mit militärischen Schriften, die sich u. a. mit dem "Finden des Richtigen Weges" beschäftigen. Truppen in finsterer Nacht oder bei schlechtem Wetter nahmen den schwimmenden Fisch zu Hilfe. Es handelt sich um einen kleinen eisernen Fisch, der dank seiner Bootsform auf der Wasseroberfläche in einer Schale schwimmen konnte und die Himmelsrichtungen anzeigte.

Regenbogen / Geschichte von Claudia Hetze In der Bibel wird berichtet, daß der Regenbogen erst nach der Sintflut am Himmel sichtbar geworden sei (Matth. 16,2 u. 3). In der griechischen Mythologie war der Regenbogen Kennzeichen der Götterbotin Iris. Auf ihm stieg sie zur Erde nieder. Zugleich wurde der Regenbogen als Teil ihres farbigen Gewandes angesehen. Poseidonios (135-51 v.u.Z.), ein Philosoph der stoischen Schule in Athen und anderen griechischen Orten betrachtete den Regenbogen als Teilbild von Sonne und Mond, das durch Hohlspiegelwirkung an Wasserwolken erzeugt wird. Bei den Inkas (13.-16. Jh) waren die Sonne und der Mond (als Schwester der Sonne) die Hauptgottheiten. Der König selbst, der Inka, galt als Gott und verkörperte die Sonne. Die Erhabenheit der Sonne und ihre Ausstrahlung äußerte sich im Regenbogen, den man als eine Gottheit betrachtete. In der chinesischen Literatur findet man ebenfalls eine Erklärung des Regenbogens oder des "Regendrachens" vor. So sagte Sun Ssu-kung, Astronom des Astronomischen Büros, im 11. Jh: "Der Regenbogen ist ein Bild (literarisch "Schatten") der Sonne im Regen und erfolgt, wenn die Sonne darauf scheint. (nach N. Sivin). Diese Bemerkung wurde von dem bedeutenden Gelehrten und Verwaltungsexperten Shen Kua (1031-1095) überliefert, der z.B. bei einer diplomatischen Mission in Kensu 1070 einen doppelten Regenbogen beobachtete. Der chinesische Philosoph Chu Hsi (1130-1200) erweiterte diese Feststellung von Sun Ssu-kung und schrieb: "Das ch'i des Regens [d.h. der atmosphärische Wasserdampf bzw. die Wassertröpfchen] ist ausgedünnt worden, das wiederum erfolgt, weil das Sonnenlicht darauf scheint und das ch'i des Regens schwächt.

B (2/2) de BIOLOGIE à BOUSSOLE BIOLOGIE RECHERCHE REFERENCES Terme adopté par le savant français Lamarck en 1802, pour désigner l'ensemble des sciences qui s'intéressent aux fonctions des organes des êrtes vivants. A Florence, vers 1485, il arrive que LÉONARD DE VINCI , abandonnant ses pinceaux, ses ciseaux et ses planches à dessin, quitte discrètement son domicile certains soirs. En grand secret, il gagne les combles de l'hôpital. Seul dans une pièce, il se livre à l'étude détaillée du corps humain sur un cadavre. A l'époque, on connaît à peu près tous les organes qui composent un être vivant, mais leurs fonctions demeurent encore mystérieuses. Par exemple, on croit que l' AIR que nous respirons passe des poumons dans le coeur et qu'ensuite les ARTÈRES conduisent cet air dans toutes les parties du corps. Petit à petit, cependant, grâce à des esprits curieux comme Léonard de Vinci, les fonctions d'organes comme le coeur, les REINS , les intestins feront l'objet d'études de plus en plus approfondies. Ces recherches donnent le JOUR à une nouvelle science à laquelle le savant français LAMARCK donnera définitivement le nom de biologie : du grec "bios" ( VIE ) et "logos" (science).
