After twenty minutes, the boat had sailed a certain distance, and the sky outside was beginning to lighten.
Song Xiaodong called everyone up and they all went to the bow of the boat.
Watching the sunrise at sea is quite a unique experience. While most people may not grasp the essence that Mr. Ba Jin described, there is something about watching the sun slowly rise from the sea horizon.
You can indeed feel more directly that light is brought by the sun, which is a different kind of awe, one that cannot be experienced on land.
Watching this scene, Song Xiaodong had a different feeling, and there was a unique realization in his heart.
The sun is the root of life, everything comes from the sun, and one's True Qi, all its foundation lies in the Dantian, which is like the sun of True Qi.
With that realization, Song Xiaodong imagined the Dantian as a sun, continuously burning, with True Qi constantly produced from the Dantian, then flowing to the limbs and torso.
