Basic skills of hanging money:
Hanging money is a way to train the ears and eyes to hear and see, and to prevent enemy attacks. You can take two old copper coins (those with holes) and tie them between the beams with thin silk thread, at eye level.
When practicing, first stand in front of a copper coin and push the coin with your hand so that it flies by in front of your eyes, and the practice will not be instantaneous. Then practice the practice of listening to the wind with your back, and the long-term effect will be great. When encountering the police or fighting, you can respond to the opportunity; if you use your unique skills and various kung fu, you will be victorious.
People who practice martial arts must practice one, two, or several types of hard and soft kung fu in addition to fists and kicks. The instruments of kung fu and boxing are like the ears and eyes. They should be used together and cannot be separated for a moment. Therefore, the proverb of martial arts masters goes: If you don't slip your legs in boxing, you will be a fool all your life. Another saying goes: If you don’t practice martial arts in boxing, you won’t become famous when you grow old.
