QuanPuSymbol8 (Q12207)

A Qin na technique, to pull the opponents arm while applying pressure on his elbow joint. Referring to the Hegemon King Xian Yu (see symbol "Ba Wang" ) and to the historic event 'Feast at the swan goose gate (HongMen Yan 鴻門宴" )': In late 207 BC, Liu Bang's rebel army conquered Wu Pass and seized control of Guanzhong and the Qin capital Xianyang. The last Qin emperor Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang, marking the end of the Qin dynasty. Around the time, Xiang Yu's force had just defeated a Qin army led by Zhang Han at the Battle of Julu. When Xiang Yu arrived at Hangu Pass, he was displeased to hear that Liu Bang had already occupied Guanzhong, so he attacked and conquered the pass, pushing on to west of Xishui (戲水). Liu Bang and his army were based in Bashang (霸上) then. The strengths of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's forces then were estimated to be 400,000 and 100,000 respectively. The following day, Liu Bang brought around 100 men with him to meet Xiang Yu at Hong Gate (鴻門), where Xiang had prepared a banquet to entertain him. Liu Bang explained that he managed to enter Guanzhong first because of sheer luck, and apologised to Xiang Yu for robbing him of his glory while extolling Xiang's valour in battle. During the banquet, Fan Zeng made signals and hinted many times to Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang ignored him. Fan Zeng then summoned Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang, instructing him to pretend to perform a sword dance to entertain the guests and find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang started dancing after Xiang Yu approved, but Xiang Bo offered to join the performance and he blocked Xiang Zhuang with his body whenever the latter thrust his sword towards Liu Bang. Liu Bang later said that he needed to use the latrine so he left the banquet with Fan Kuai. Shortly after, Xiang Yu sent Chen Ping to call Liu Bang back to the feast. Liu Bang felt that he should bid Xiang Yu farewell but Fan Kuai opposed his decision. "They are the cleaver and chopping board, and we are the fish and meat." (Fan Kuai) (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_at_Swan_Goose_Gate) *The term overlord treats (or overlord invite guest, overlord invite to dinner) is today an allegory meaning: "you have to eat if you eat, you have to eat if you dont eat" (may refer to "you dont have a choice") *Also the feast at swan goose gate is today a symbol for a trap or something that seems joyful but is in fact dangerous. * in the 72 Chin Na techniques of Shaolin, the technique name is "(70)太祖約客手如敵出一手擊來，可用一手握抓敵手梢，另一手握抓敵肘炎，兩手上托下壓■，即可制服敵人。" ((70) Taizu treat guest If the enemy strikes with one hand, you can use one hand to *grasp the enemy's hand, the other hand to grasp the enemy's elbow, and hold down both hands to press to subdue the enemy.) simplified name: ba wang qing ke / baawong cenghaak
