What is the importance of “lifting the head and rounding the crotch”?

Human extremities are fundamentally three-dimensional appendages. Some motions can be executed without thinking, such as moving forward or backward and turning the waist left or right. Gravity has given us the downward direction forever, and this leaves only the upward direction as vacant. As a result, it must be coordinated deliberately.

“Elevating the crown” is a fundamental axiom that is easy to ignore. The proverb states: “There must be a front and a back”, therefore we emphasize the reverse balance between the mind and the limbs. And “where there is left, there must be the right” leads us to emphasize the reverse coordination effect of the “tail 闾”. What is also necessary is to address “where there is a bottom, there is a top”, so “lifting the crotch” is particularly important as the coordination of all directions is required when training to seek ultimate, dynamic balance.
