Third, the key technique to this form is the '''Poise of the Guqin Sage Stance'''. This must ''always'' be the first kung fu secret that any character can learn from this sheet, and the other techniques cannot be used unless in this stance.

			==Tactics==

			A masterful Guqin-fighter will use a mix of different attacks, enhancing them as necessary with channelled trigrams or with kung fu secrets from other sheets (such as Eight Trigram Wushu), then pull back a little Yang Chi and Yin Chi with ''Thousand Echoes Chi''. If he plays his combos smart, he might even be able to get enough flow to end up with a net gain in chi that turn! He then turns to other martial arts for defence, employing the surfeit of yin chi he has gained. He also appreciates the utility of the ''powerful fingers'' technique, as being able to knock an enemy out of their stance is probably the most tactically effective technique on this Lore Sheet!
