Book Reviews of Qigong, The Secret of Youth: Da Mo's Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Classics
Book Review: Good research but over-promised
Summary: 3 Stars
Dr. Yang is certainly a prolific reader of classical Chinese literature on meditation, chi kung and internal martial arts. Though he sometimes confused himself and over-simplified matters (like his "modern" interpretation of kan and li as a simple balance between heat and cool, which everybody can appreciate without the "confusing" concept of kan and li!), he did a good job in translating these to the west, in particular to western folks who teach the stuff to westerners and need to back-up their teaching with more background information of their practice.
Having said that, I find the practical content of this book quite disappointing, because it over promises. As a proficient martial artist, Dr. Yang is more than qualified to introduce and teach Yi Jin Jing. That practice however is readily available in many literature if one cares to search the web. Learning from Dr. Yang is of course a good choice but treating the practice as esoteric or hidden secret will be quite another matter.
Xi Sui Jing is actually a lost art (only being mentioned in some old classical Chinese literature without adequate instruction, as one can appreciate after reading Dr. Yang's book, not without some disappointment as I read one reviewer here felt) . It is therefore, to say the least, an over-promise for a book claiming to teach the stuff to its readers. According to available classical writings, Xi Sui Jing is very similar, if not the same as, Taoist practice of immortality. For readers interested to understand this practice, I would suggest them checking on Taoist Yoga: Alchemy & Immortality, the only Taoist classic on the subject (and an excellent one too) having been translated into the English language.
