Preparatory Posture Corrections. Xingyiquan’s main efficacy is in training the qi. Thus, when standing erect, one must first close the mouth, clench the teeth, curl the tip of the tongue up to the palate, and inhale and exhale using the nose. Only while resting after completing one or several sequences should one start to again open the mouth. Closing the mouth ensures that the qi will not leak out, and simultaneously prevents inhalation of unclean air. The reason for this is that when breathing during training, although the breaths are more short and rapid than normal, the lungs will be open and this is the easiest time to inhale microbes. The tongue curling to the palate is so that the jinye fluids are produced. When jinye fluids are produced and swallowed, this causes the mouth to not be dry.
