Essays such as Treatise on Entering through the Gate, Treatise on the First Hand, Second Hand, Front Hand and Back Hand, and Treatise on Pointing Qi mainly discuss techniques, emphasizing striking the root of the enemy's arm, moving an inch away from a foot, advancing straight into close quarters, and using elbows and shoulders continuously. They advocate that "qi is emitted like a cannon firing" and "like a spark igniting unintentionally on the skin, like shivering from cold invading the muscles"—such insights could only be put forward by a master.
It should be pointed out that the internal strength methods described in this book originate from the ancient Daoist techniques of breathing and nourishing life. For example, the theory of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon can be found in the Daozang (Taoist Canon).
