About This Course

Course Introduction

Bian Que Shengyuan Eighteen-Qiao Method is taught by Guo Desheng. Drawing on traditional concepts cited from the Nanjing, its framework comprises eighteen shengyuan gateways. Topics center on consolidating shengyuan and releasing qi knots, with regional study of the head and face, trunk, and limbs to introduce the system's structure and terminology.

The materials also list eighteen guanqiao sites and the scope of two days of in-person study. Distinguish the guanqiao framework from body-region topics, then use demonstrations to understand how the course organizes observation and discussion. This helps learners first understand the system's structure. Traditional terminology does not replace modern diagnosis, and actual manual techniques require appropriate professional supervision.
