You realize of course that
"seven star" or "Qi Xing" does not
refer to the planets, but the seven
stars that makes up the big dipper
hence the name "Bei Dou Qi Xing"
Where "Bei Dou" refers to the North star
Sorry mate, can't help ya :) Just wanted to say we also have a qigong form called '7 stars opening gong' form out dayan qigong syllabus :)
good luck!

Here you go:
Tian shu (Celestial pivot)
Tian xuan (Celestial jade)
Tian ji (Celestial pearl)
Tian quan/guan (Celestial balance (or jade))
Yu heng (Jade sighting-tube)
Kai yang (Opener of heat)
Yao guang (Twinkling brilliance)
I have the characters, but I can't seem to post them on KFO. If you want them, start a thread at cyberkwoon, I can make them show there.
But if it is the planets you want, I believe there are actually five planets plus sun and moon.
muxing - Jupiter (wood star)
huoxing - Mars (fire star)
tuxing - Saturn (earth star)
jinxing - Venus (gold/metal star)
shuixing - Mercury (water star)
Hey, thanks, guys.
Actually it's the planets. The form was invented before 1930, so they didn't have a name for Pluto, and had to make up new names for Uranus and Neptune...in the form, there are two movements called "Tien Wang Xing" and "Hai Wang Xing" (Uranus and Neptune)
I was wondering if anyone could help me translate the following words into Mandarin. Muchos thanks to anyone that can help me!
Way Of The Progressive (or ever changing/constant changing/ if that word isn't directly translatable) Fist
Progressive Boxing
If someone knows any way I could get the characters for these I'd be eternally grateful! I want to get a tattoo with these symbols on my arm in this order.
Dicipline
Humility
Courage
Honor
Wisdom
Strength
Luck
I really appreciate any help.
Try here.
that may do it! :) thanks man!
I hope it helps your kungfu! :rolleyes:

Another meaning for this character commonly used in Wing Chun Kuen is
'pornographic'
'lewd'
And, yes, with the same tone...!
Making the alternate translations for Wing Chun Kuen:
Recite Pornographic Style; or
Praise Lewd Style...
Sticky hands indeed...
All of which, of course, helps my kungfu no end...:rolleyes:
Back to lurking/wurking...!:D
Just curious I am need something translated.
First of all, there's no such thing as "Beijing Mandarin" unless you want to count pronouncing all your final 'n's as 'r's.
Second of all, ANYONE literate in ANY dialect of Chinese can do you translation since the written language is all the same.
3rd of all. Yes. I can read Chinese and depending on the content may be interested in doing some translation. What is it?
Thank you for correcting my ignorance. :)
Its actually pretty stupid, but I need to know how to pronounce "Iron Monkey"
Like the movie. If possible would you be able to tell me the correct intonation placement as well.
Thanks again.
You see I just started learning, some people tell me that its different depending on where you are, but I dont really know all that yet.
I suppose Ill learn as I go.

What's this for? If your looking for the movie, I don't think it's just "Iron Monkey" in Chiense because in Cantonese it's called "tit ma lao" I am sure "tit" is Iron but "ma lao"? Tie Hou is just 2 syllables. The Cantonese title is clearly 3 characters. I saw it back in the states with no Mandarin audio and before I could really read Chinese.
Edit: I assumed you had studied pin yin but you may not have.
"tie" is pronounced. "teeyeh" and "hou" is pronounced, "ho" as in I gots more ho's than Grandmaster Flash....
PangQuan,
Isn't it a good thing we have people like Mr Fish around to rebuke the ignorant from his lofty perch? :D
