It is said: "One way penetrates ten thousand arts".
There are already various works with quotations, guiding principles and anthologies for the Japanese martial arts. With regard to China, on the other hand, there are only isolated reports so far. This collection of wisdom, teachings, advice and secrets from the Chinese martial arts was written by martial artists who actually had to fight for their lives. Or have walked the long path of martial arts in the course of a painful training process, within a teacher-student relationship, or as part of self-disclosure. The aphorisms are divided into four categories: "Martial Arts", "Learning", "Martial Virtue" and "Life Cultivation", with a close connection between the individual areas; the user can thus start reading at any point.
Additional explanations by the author encourage reflection and further research. But the collection is not only a source for fans of Chinese martial arts, practitioners of Japanese arts will also find it, because the long history of Chinese martial arts also had a great influence on Japan.
