LINEAGE OF THE Heart-Mind Six Harmonies
Xinyi Liuhe Fist (Heart-Mind Six Harmonies Fist) is a treasure of Chinese martial arts, recognized as one of the three major internal (Neijia) systems alongside Tai Chi and Baguazhang. This instructional DVD features Master Hu Xiuqun, a member of the standing committee of the Bengbu City Martial Arts Association and the Secretary General of the Xinyi Liuhe Fist Institution. Master Hu is a premier authority on the Bengbu lineage, which has historically preserved the art's fierce efficiency and deep internal alchemy. Xinyi Liuhe Fist is a system of both inner and exterior cultivation, emphasizing the 'Six Harmonies' between the internal intent and the external physical expression. This Technical Routine focuses on the 'Ten Shapes' (Shi Da Xing), which are the essential pillars of the system, each derived from the specific combat characteristics and internal spirits of ten distinct animals.
THE Ten Animal Shapes AND BIOMECHANICS
The Ten Shapes Technical Routine includes the Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, Horse, Chicken, Swallow, Bear, Snake, Eagle, and Sparrow Hawk. Rather than mere imitation, the practice focuses on 'Pictographic Intent' (Xiang Xing Qu Yi)—capturing the essential biomechanical advantages of each animal. For example, the Dragon shape focuses on spinal flexibility and spiraling power, while the Tiger shape emphasizes explosive pouncing and structural integrity. Master Hu demonstrates how these animal spirits are integrated into a Fluid Structure that is both light and flexible. The biomechanics rely on the principle of 'The Heart Applies the Mind, and the Mind Leads the Qi.' Each shape is a masterclass in using the Python Waist to generate internal pressure and release it through the extremities in sudden bursts of Explosive Force (Fa-Jin).
Internal Power AND PICTOGRAPHIC INTENT
The practice of the Ten Shapes is a profound method of Internal Alchemy. By mimicking the movements and spirits of these animals, the practitioner massages the internal organs and strengthens the nervous system. Master Hu explains the 'Clever Application and Concentration' required to master the art. The routine is designed to subdue the hard with the soft and the strong with the weak, reflecting the core Taoist philosophy of the Heart-Mind Six Harmonies. The movements are firm yet soft, harmoniously blending neutralizing transitions with high-impact strikes. In practice, the form moves like flowing clouds and running water, requiring the practitioner to maintain a continuous, unbroken flow of energy while transitioning between the different animal archetypes.
CULTIVATION OF THE SCHOLAR-WARRIOR
Beyond its martial utility, Xinyi Liuhe Fist is a comprehensive system for health preservation and disease prevention. The Ten Shapes are regarded as 'Treasures' because they provide a complete curriculum for physical and spiritual development. Master Hu’s expert instruction ensures that the student understands the 'Technical Routine' details and the 'Combat Applications' of each shape. The training improves balance, cardiovascular health, and mental focus, fostering a resilient and balanced temperament. This 101-minute instructional guide is an essential resource for anyone seeking to master the authentic animal forms of Xinyi Liuhe Fist, providing the tools necessary for both high-level martial performance and deep internal cultivation. It is a vital contribution to the global preservation of China's internal martial heritage.

Master Hu Xiuqun
Hu Xiuqun - Xinyi Liuhe Quan Hu Xiuqun is a highly esteemed master of Xinyi Liuhe Quan (Heart-Mind Six Harmonies Boxing), representing the Lushan (Lu Songgao) branch of the Shanghai lineage. He is recognized for his explosive power, deep understanding of the art’s internal mechanics, and his role in preserving the traditional "Muslim style" (Hui family) martial arts.
Lineage and Background
Hu Xiuqun is a prominent successor in the lineage of the legendary master Lu Songgao, who brought Xinyi Liuhe Quan from Henan to Shanghai. This style is known for being one of the most powerful and aggressive internal martial arts in China.
Lineage: Successor of the Lu Songgao branch of Xinyi Liuhe Quan.
Style Heritage: His practice carries the distinct characteristics of the Shanghai lineage—compact, fierce, and highly practical.
Reputation: He is known for his "Vibration Power" and his mastery of the "Ten Great Animal Forms" (Shi Da Xing), which are the core of the Xinyi system.
Instructional Media and Resources
Master Hu Xiuqun has produced several detailed instructional series (often found on DVD and digital archives) that are essential for practitioners looking to bridge the gap between form and combat application. His teaching materials include:
The Ten Great Animal Forms: Detailed breakdowns of the movements and spirits of the animals (such as the Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, and Chicken), focusing on the unique "shaking power" associated with each.
The Four Handles (Si Ba): Instruction on the most famous and critical set of techniques in the Xinyi curriculum, emphasizing structural integrity and explosive entry.
Internal Power Drills: Specific exercises for developing "Cushioning Power" and the "Six Harmonies" (internal coordination of heart, intent, and qi; external coordination of hands/feet, elbows/knees, and shoulders/hips).
Core Technical Characteristics
Hu Xiuqun’s Xinyi Liuhe Quan is characterized by its raw, unadorned efficiency and overwhelming force:
Explosive "Fajin": His movements demonstrate the signature "Thunder Power" (Lei Sheng) and the sudden, total-body vibration that accompanies every strike.
Practicality over Aesthetics: In line with traditional Xinyi, his technique focuses on "hitting the opponent like a gust of wind," emphasizing directness and the "chicken step" (Ji Bu) for rapid, stable advancement.
The Spirit of the Animals: He emphasizes that the "animal forms" are not just mimicry, but internal states—incorporating the "fierceness of the tiger" and the "agility of the monkey" into the nervous system.
