| <blockquote>Zhàn zhuāng, literally: "standing like a post", is a training method often practiced by students of [[neijia]] (internal kung fu), such as [[Yiquan]], [[Xing Yi Quan]], [[Bagua Zhang]] and [[Taiji Quan]]. //Zhan Zhuang// is sometimes translated //Standing-on-stake, Standing Qigong, Standing Like a Tree, Post-standing, Pile-standing,// or //Pylon Standing//. It is commonly called a form of Qigong, despite the differences from other Qigong methods in Zhan zhuang's orientation.<cite>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhan_zhuang</cite></blockquote> | <blockquote>Zhàn zhuāng, literally: "standing like a post", is a training method often practiced by students of [[neijia]] (internal kung fu), such as [[Yiquan]], [[Xing Yi Quan]], [[Bagua Zhang]] and [[Taiji Quan]]. //Zhan Zhuang// is sometimes translated //Standing-on-stake, Standing Qigong, Standing Like a Tree, Post-standing, Pile-standing,// or //Pylon Standing//.

| All of the //Neijia// arts *ex. [[Taijiquan]], [[Xingyiquan]] and [[Baguazhang]], etc.) agree that standing meditation leads to internal energy development, but they differ in the relative importance of that energy development and how the resulting energy is harnessed and used. | All of the //Neijia// arts *ex. [[Taijiquan]], [[Xingyiquan]] and [[Baguazhang]], etc.) agree that standing meditation leads to internal energy development, but they differ in the relative importance of that energy development and how the resulting energy is harnessed and used. In particular, Tai Chi may not even practice standing per-se, despite some masters endorsing it. While yi quan and xingyiquan likely promote it as part of their art. |

| Taijiquan calls the resultant energy as the first (public) definition of //[[peng jing]]// and uses it to create [[chan si jing]] (see: [[jin vs jing]]). | It is possible that standing is not a part of traditional tai chi training. I will try to find a place to discuss that later. In schools which promote it, it appears as if taijiquan calls the result of the training a kind of energy; likely a kind of //[[peng jing]]//. Note that [[chan si jing]] is different, and also see see: [[jin vs jing]]. |
