沾粘貼控

沾 (stick), 黏 (adhere), 貼 (paste), and 控 (control)

沾之以皮，黏在月奏 理，貼在筋膜， 控在古骨底

To explain the push hands techniques based on the concepts of 沾 (stick), 黏 (adhere), 貼 (paste), and 控 (control), you can break down each idea as follows:

 

1. 沾 (Stick) Stick on the hair and skin

   This technique involves making initial contact with your opponent. The goal is to "stick" to your opponent's movements, creating a connection that allows you to sense their force and intention. This is like having a light touch that allows you to feel what they are doing, preparing you for further interaction.

 2. 黏 (Adhere) Adhere to the layer between the skin and flesh

   After sticking, the next step is to "adhere" to your opponent's movements. This means staying close and maintaining contact, allowing you to follow their movements smoothly. Adhering involves a level of flexibility and responsiveness, ensuring that you remain connected even as your opponent tries to move or change direction.

 3. 貼 (Press) Press on the flesh

   "Paste" refers to maintaining a consistent and seamless connection with your opponent. This technique involves being so closely connected that your movements become an extension of your opponent’s, allowing you to smoothly flow with their force rather than resisting it. It's like having an invisible layer of connection that sticks and moves with them. 

4. 控 (Control) Control the bone

   Control is about managing and directing the force and movement in push hands. This involves using your body’s structure and alignment to guide and influence your opponent’s force. Control is achieved by maintaining proper alignment and leveraging the connection to direct their movements, ensuring that you can lead the interaction rather than just react.

 

In summary, the push hands techniques based on these concepts involve:

 - Sticking to make initial contact.

- Adhering to maintain close, responsive contact.

- Pasting to ensure a seamless connection.

- Controlling to guide and manage the interaction effectively.

 

These techniques ensure that you are not merely reacting but actively engaging with your opponent’s movements, allowing for smooth, controlled interactions in push hands practice.
