Taoist hand tactic:

Hand tactic is one of the basic components of Taoism. It plays the role of inspiring ghosts and gods and eliminating evil spirits, which is an inseparable part of the performance of spells. Hui Yuan of Daoism 16 1 said: "Those who know the purpose are born in the magic machine, cultivate immortality and refine truth, and control evil, all of which are based on this."

Another cloud said, "The master's heart passes on the tactic, leading to a secluded cave, and the trick to attract gods and resist ghosts lies in holding the tactic." This is the basic "body movement" of Tao, as well as stepping on and locking teeth.

Tactics, as far as actions are concerned, are also called "grip tactics", "twist tactics" and "pinch tactics". There is a cloud in the second volume of the Imperial Jade Book: "Those who pinch the tactic, therefore, preach the truth to control evil, and they will cure things." There is a cloud in the Golden Wing Forbidden Sutra: "Fourth, it is forbidden to turn your eyes, which means that there are fifteen eyes on your hand." There is a cloud in Volume 14 of "Golden Lock and Flowing Beads": "Forbidden, that is, twist the left finger, untie it, that is, twist the right finger".

Because the basic hand tactic is rooted in the fingers (specific positions or special acupoints), it is also called "hand tactic" and "eye tactic". There is a saying in Hui Yuan of Taoism 160: "Those who are kind-hearted are born by magic machine, cultivate immortality and refine truth, and control evil by this. ..... The ancestors taught the tactic to his mind, leading to a secluded cave, calling God to resist ghosts, and the key is to hold the tactic. A tacit imaginary element, because the purpose is a trick. "
