POST 10 VCDO December 2021 - TUE MON Wisdom - TUE TU Vietnamese Calligraphic Alphabet

 

 

TUE-MON and TUE-TU     In this Post No 10, December 2021 you will find two important subjects: The form Tue-Mon Quyen and The Art of Tue-Tu.   THE TUE-MON QUYEN. Tue-Mon Quyen (kata) is one of the most important forms in the system of Viet-Chi disciplines. This quyen consists of 26 movements related to the 26 Tue-Tu characters. Each movement carries its deep martial technique and strategy, its meaning for life philosophy and social behavior. The meaning of each movement of Tue-Mon, inspired by the Sacred Book Dhammapada, is an important teaching for our Vietchidao Educational Martial Art. In this Post No 10, December 2021, you will find attached all the 26 movements presented in the postcard format.     THE ART OF TUE-TU WHAT IS TUE-TU. TUE-TU Calligraphic Alphabet is a set of 26 letters called “characters Viet-Linh –wise writing” to be used for developing one’s inner-strength, self-healing power and artistic skills. This art of Tue-Tu often uses the brush and some techniques of calligraphy. There is no special skill in painting art needed to start and no need to learn all the 26 characters of Tue-Tu alphabet. The beauty of brush-calligraphy art helps practitioners gain greater balance and self-confidence. The attached Tue-Tu Table of 26 characters is the updated version 2021 replacing the version 1990 and all others to date. You will utilize it as model for characters.   ORIGIN. The art of TUE-TU, created by Grand Master Phan Hoang, after a long period of testing in the 1980’s made its debut in 1990, official date of its creation. Two years later it was published for the first time in August 1992 on the occasion of the Vietvodao International Summer Training at the University of  Sherbrooke, Canada. Today it is a highly regarded discipline in the eight disciplines of the Viet-Chi System. Each stroke of Tue-Tu carries the power of a sword, the immensity of the sky, and the deep sense of life.   APPLICATIONS. Through the practice of brush- calligraphy or by doing the related 26 body-mind exercises of Tue-Mon Quyen, there are several applications of “Tue-Tu”, such as: -Self-development (expression of true-being) -Integration with Martial Art -Art Therapy (self-help) -Integration with five Sounds: A, O, I, E, U   ESSENCE. The Essence of Tue-Tu can be pointed out as follows: 1.    Subject and Object as “One” 2.    A Holistic Way: Body, Mind, and Spirit as a Whole 3.    For Body: Physical Health -“Be Healthy” 4.    For Mind: Confidence -“Be Happy” 5.    For Spirit: A respectful individual   CHARACTERISTICS. Unlike the traditional calligraphy which requires many years of practice to perfect the writing, Tue-Tu utilizes the general alphabetic system used by many countries in the world to encourage people to learn and to communicate. Tue-Tu is not only a writing of calligraphy, but also shows the wisdom of self-healing power within. It can help any individual, regardless of age, educational level, ethnicity, gender, profession, races, to develop. Moreover, it can be used to facilitate others to discover their potentials and make the world better. (Blog VCDO, Post 10, December 2021, Phan Hoang)

            HOANH SON quyen

    

Blog VCDO, November 2021   The form HOÀNG SƠN  (SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN)    (Source: Post 172 www.clubmasterhoang.blogspot.com) In this Post VCDO November 2021 you will find all the nine parts of this important form: HOANH SON Quyen created by G.M Phan Hoang in 1914. This quyen/form could be executed in both styles: gentle and slow or dynamic and clear cut. Historical facts. During the last part of the 16th century Vietnam was in chaos situation: King Mac, Lord Trinh, and Lord Nguyen were fighting against each other for gaining the power. On that background a great master appeared: Master NGUYEN BINH-KHIEM (1491-1581). He was the master for all the three antagonists, author of many writings, and especially a book called Sấm Trạng Trình which is considered by some people a book of advices on strategy while many people believe, so far, it is a Vietnamese equivalent book to ‘Nostradamus’. Up to our time NGUYEN BINH-KHIEM is venerated as an Immortal in the Buddhist Sect CAO-DAI.  Story and legend. NGUYEN HOANG  was a brilliant officer serving in the army of Lord TRINH-KIEM who was his brother-in-law. Lord TRINH-KIEM was aware of the possibility that later NGUYEN HOANG  will challenge his authority, therefore Lord TRINH was awaiting for an opportunity to eliminate his potential opponent. Facing this great danger NGUYEN HOANG  called on master BINH-KHIEM for advice. On that meeting the master did not say a word but pointing his forefinger to the south, beyond these mountains, then waved his forefinger three times before stopping and drawing a lateral line.  NGUYEN HOANG  then understood that the master told him to go far away to take refuge behind the Lateral Mountain Hoanh-Son. And then after what will he have to do? The master still did not say anything, he just gave him a book and motioned him to go. Following the advice of his master NGUYEN HOANG went south with his family and a number of followers. He seriously applied the knowledge and strategy gained from the book of the master and later became a Lord NGUYEN.  Generations after, one of his descendent became King GIA-LONG founder of the NGUYEN Dynasty (1881-1945).      According to popular oral-history the advice of master BINH-KHIEM was in this saying:  “Hoành Sơn nhất đái, vạn đại dung thân’ = One Transverse  Mountain can protect many generations.  It is believed that the original copy of his book is still to be preserved at a pagoda known under a code name ‘CHUA MAI’, somewhere in North Vietnam./.

Therefore, the priority should be given to those who come forward asking for knowledge -with sincerity and honesty, and with good intension of learning. So with observation -of the stances, the gestures, the behaviour, the mind- a master could see how deep, how sincere a new comer is.   Hoành-sơn nhất đái is a high chain of mountain in central Vietnam which makes the pass difficult. So the first required quality for those who want to learn Hoanh-Son Quyen is the willingness to overcome difficulty, to be determined, and to be persistent. In other words, at first step, Hoanh-Son aims to train the learner in this way.   Viễn kiến vô ngại . Successful and happy people are those who develop vision at any situation, they are trained to foresee and to be determined. They will quietly opt for the best solution.    Nguyệt ảnh thâm tuyền.  In a night of full moon, looking up to the sky, people can see a beautiful moon; and they see only one moon. But the wise observer, looking down to a river, can see many moons reflected through thousands of waves. The water, for not having rigid form, can provide surprising power. The mind of a wise learner is beautiful like a moon and deep like water; moving slowly but surely. /.

		VCDO Post 08 , October 2021   From VIETCHI TEACHERS SCHOOL
		Dear Friends, for most of us September represents the resumption of practice after the summer break, the reopening of schools, and the return to the gym. These last two winters have been truly challenging for all of us and have tested our resilience, our courage, our willingness to continue on a path that is not always easy. But now we are here, recharged for an even more determined restart. Even more convinced that what we do is good for ourselves and for others, for our bodies and minds, for society. If we are here, it is all thanks to GM and its enduring vitality. Let's not forget all the encouragement and teachings he has sent us through TS in this last period. TS wants to continue its mission thanks also to your interest, curiosity and contribution that you will show. We remind you that there are always available the different courses provided on-line to increase your personal knowledge but also your teaching skills. We are an open place where everyone can ask for and provide help, with a view to collaboration at every level. If you have questions or proposals to make, write, launch an appeal through our platform. In the meantime, we wish everyone a new academic year full of achievements and reconquests for everyone, new and old students and teachers. Have fun and see you soon.
