Angeregt durch Naguals guten Beitrag zu den Unterschieden bei Inneren Stilen, hier mal als Aufhänger eine nette Geschichte (auf Englisch, habe keine Lust die zu übersetzen):
A HsingI, Taiji and Bagua masters are all walking down a valley road small talking chating about which style is most complete, on there way to a party... They all have there opinions and are open minded of course (sarcasm here)....
A ways down the road they come to a blockage (a big Rock) that has fallen on the road, and are unable to pass....
The Taiji guy just stops and waits, so the HsingI and Bagua guy says hey your Taiji can´t move the stone, and the Taiji guy replies I will wait for the stone to move first before I can use my internal power, but you Bagua can find a solution by looking around to see if there is another way... The Bagua goes in circles trying to find a way to pass... Then the HsingI guys says hey guys I have the solution I will just destroy the rock with my, Deng Bu - stomping heel - and Pi and Beng Chuan - Metal and Wood strikes- and puff they are on there way again...
Another ways down the road another blockage but this time it is a huge tree, the HsingI guy says stand back again, puff and nothing happened,,, the tree absorbed the blow by pivoting back then foward again rocking back into the place and blocking there way... The Bagua guy tried to push it and circle around it but again it was to big and heavy... So the Taiji master said I can do this one, while the tree was rocking backing and forth the Taiji master attached his hands to the tree and starting moving with it and before they saw him move the tree pivoted and toppled over to the side of the Road and they where on there way again...
Aother ways down the road another blockage this time it was a mud slide and the ground was very loose and moveable, the Hsingi guy was unsteady and couldn't move without getting his feet stuck by to heavy stomping , the Taiji guy was astonished that he always uses solid ground to root his energy and could't step because his feet went backwards... But by the time they realized it, the Bagua guy was already on the other side cleaning his feet, he said come on guys its easy just use, Tang Ni Bu - or mud stepping... He mud slided back and showed them how to slide there feet without pressing into the earth or stomping the ground...
They all continued on there journey until they reached there party but all the way still arguing who style is more complete...
