    4 Directions and 4 corners of Taiji

    Dr John, Bob, Scott and anyone else,

    I was reading the classics of taiji and i stumbled upon these i was thinking do these 4 direction and corners use different Jings for the stated below like wind, thunder, lake, mountain such as like bagua would with there triagrams?

    Maybe this has been asked 1000 times but very interested in the differences of these forces/jings if they are used or just directions and nothing to do with force?

    Regards
    Garry



    The first four are the cardinal directions;
    Ch'ien [South; Heaven],
    K'un [North; Earth],
    K'an [West; Water], and
    Li [East; Fire].
    The second four are the four corners:
    Sun [Southwest; Wind],
    Chen [Northeast; Thunder],
    Tui [Southeast; Lake], and
    Ken [Northwest; Mountain].

    wardoff, rollback, press, push --4 primary directions
    pluck, split, elbow strike, shoulder strike--4 corners
    all different energies, different applications.
    john, bob, scott, SPJ, bamboo leaf may be able to elaborate further.
