2. Action essentials

> When practicing this pose, both arms must be stretched flat, but you are not allowed to look with your eyes. The way to check whether the arms are flat or uneven is to relax the shoulders and arms. If the hands feel heavy and the shoulders feel loose, the hands are too low; if the hands feel light and the shoulders feel heavy, the hands are too high. Adjusted in this way, it can maintain its straight position. The finger opening and closing movements of this posture must be in order and rhythm, and cannot be opened and closed at the same time. Also bend the wrist, bend the fingers, extend the wrist, and extend the fingers, mainly the middle and slight sections of the fingers. Pay attention to the movement of each small joint. After mastering it, you will gradually be required to do the pupa-like movements.

3. Function

There are "well points" on the fingertips of the six meridians of the three yin meridians of the hand and the three yang meridians of the hand. The "well point" is an important point for the qi of the meridians and the qi outside the meridians to enter and exit the body. This is the focus of this exercise, so it can strengthen the function of the "well points" and promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the meridians. Among them, segmented movement 2 mainly moves the three yin meridians of the hand, so the qi machine is under the arm (there is a sense of soreness and swelling there). The wrist bending and finger bending movements in segmented movement 3 mainly move the three yang meridians of the hand, so the Qi machine is on the upper part of the arm (there are sore and swollen fingertips there, so Qi is obtained quickly. Careful practice is of great benefit to acupuncture and massage. Can be used for the treatment of upper limb diseases.
