Nine-curved bead refers to a precious bead with twists and turns. Using the "nine bead beads" as a metaphor for the human body, the movement of Qi is like "a precious ant wearing a bead" (Confucius got a rare orb with a nine-turned hole in it. Confucius wanted to put a thread on the orb, but it was difficult to succeed. He thought that women might have a way of doing things like this, so he asked a woman who was picking mulberries nearby. But the woman asked him to think about it, and said to him &x27; Confucius thought about it, and finally understood what the woman meant. He turned around and caught an ant, tied a thin silk thread around the ant's waist, put the ant into one end of the orb hole, and rubbed it on the other end. Honey, teased the ants. Sure enough, the ants took the silk thread from one end of the bead hole to the other, so that the thread was smoothly threaded. Confucius thought of the bee's from the word "secret" that the woman told him. The word ;蜜&x27; has this method.), the whole body is penetrated without any obstruction, in order to solve the "qi all over the body without stagnation". Yang Chengfu said: "Nine-curved bead means that there are nine bends in a bead. The human body is like a bead, and all four bodies and hundreds of skeletons are bent. There is no place for the limbs to be able to move the qi. Nowadays, the "nine bends" are commonly called fist joints, wrist joints, elbow joints, shoulder joints, spine joints, waist joints, hip joints, knee joints, and ankle joints.
