In order to have a deeper understanding of the fitness effect, the author only makes a brief review and discussion on Tai Ji Chuan's theory, essence, training methods and development sources based on what he has learned in boxing practice.
It has existed since ancient times, especially in Taoist classics. There is a saying in the first volume of Taoist Collection, a wonderful book of Mount Taishan Lingbao, that "the immortal way is precious, and there is no limit to people". Taoism is happy to live, nurture, be good at living and nurture because of its "emphasis on life". In a sense, it can be described as "teaching". Specifically embodied in the regimen is the "combination of Taoism and surgery." "The essence of Taoism lies in the refining process of vigor and vitality, aiming at achieving the unity of vigor and vitality and the balance of physical and mental life" (Ma Hongyu). The reason why it can become a good health care product for contemporary people is that its Dantian internalization method originated from the ancient Taoist health care culture. As Chen Xin summarized in the chapter on Ren-mai Du-mai in the first volume of Chen Taiji Zhuan Shuo, Taiji Zhuan is "taking Yi as the meridian, taking reason as the latitude, going in and out of Huang Lao", and "those who are in the middle, as the Taoist says, gather qi and return to God". If a person is full of spirit, his heart, hands and eyes will reach him. In any case, he is spiritually self-sufficient and never tired.
The author thinks that the biography of Taiji, a treasure of boxing taught by Mr. Ma Hong, a family biography of Chen Zhaokui, is the introduction. Its efficacy, as a paragraph in the eighth issue of Qigong Journal 1989 said:
"Tai Ji Chuan is the perfect coaching skill. It combines the advantages of guidance, combining rigidity with softness, and combining static and dynamic. When you breathe, you spit out the foul air in your heart. When you breathe, you swallow the clarity of heaven and earth, and you bend over and stretch. How carefree is it? If you practice Tai Ji Chuan with static kung fu, each has its own wonderful things. It is really the beauty of bear's paw shark fin. "
Unfortunately, I see that some people lack understanding of the subtleties of abdominal techniques. They only know Tai Chi and Gong Zhuang, and they practice for hours at a time. Undeniably, in Gong Zhuang's static state, people can really feel upright, the consistency of consciousness, movement and breathing, and a sense of balance, but the effect is still very different from boxing. The effects of abdominal transformation on refining qi, nourishing the mind and strengthening the brain are manifested in the boxing frame combining static and dynamic. Just standing still, how does the true qi in the body rotate with the abdomen, and how does the vitality of the three treasures condense? It's really not advisable to ignore the boxing frame combining dynamic and static when practicing internal qi and boxing, and to have insufficient understanding of the meaning of this living Gong Zhuang.
Moreover, no matter how pious you are to Zhuang, you can't fully master boxing, pushing hands and Sanshou when standing on a stake. The correct practice method is to strictly follow the essentials of boxing, take boxing as the center, and make the gas run smoothly, which is better than those who only practice static piles and don't practice boxing or less, and also lays the foundation for learning to push hands and Sanshou. After a long and rigorous boxing practice, the author has gained the following experiences: relaxed mind, clear thinking, refreshing, energetic, happy at work, and keeping a good mood every day. These magical things come from Chen's Tai Ji Chuan's internal mind method, which can refine qi, replenish qi and nourish the brain, thus enhancing vitality.
Traditional meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine is the basis of Tai Ji Chuan's strong law. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the overall consciousness, not only to the symptoms, but also to the root causes. At the same time, people who can't adapt to the changes of natural, social and interpersonal environment will be in an unbalanced state of exterior and interior, excess and deficiency, cold and heat, evil and righteousness and psychology. In order to turn all these unbalanced opposites between body and mind into a balanced unity, we must follow the principle of "balance of yin and yang" in addition to the overall concept.
Tai Ji Chuan also talked about the overall concept and the balance of Yin and Yang. There is a cloud in the boxing classics: "Remember not to move, not to be quiet, not to be quiet." "The combination of Yin and Yang is the only way to understand." When practicing boxing, we should embody the unity of form and spirit of boxing. Practitioners should have a sense of boxing, boxing skills modeling, boxing skills integration, martial arts awareness. With these "four consciousnesses", combined with the ten relationships of up and down, inside and outside, left and right, front and back, successively, reality, opening and closing, rigidity, obedience and speed, we can grasp the integrity and balance of Tai Ji Chuan's Yin and Yang in boxing practice. As Teacher Ma Hong said: "When boxing, we should establish a holistic view of the whole body, and practice both inside and outside to prevent' single pendulum floating' (local body movements, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, uncoordinated and independent, do not take the waist as the leading factor and drive the whole body, but manually fix the waist or legs instead of the whole body). This should pay attention to the unity of opposites in a series of spiral forms "; "And in mind, in god, in rhyme, in work, to achieve the unity of beautiful shape and artistic conception. A boxer should have a pure heart, a neat fist, a combination of yin and yang, a lively cat and a magical line. " Four consciousnesses and ten relationships are interdependent and indispensable. If it can be fully implemented in boxing practice, it will solve the integration of internal (mental) and external (physical) of boxing potential and the integrity of yin and yang balance, which is consistent with the holistic view of TCM treatment and "yin and yang balance" On the other hand, if there is a lack of consciousness and relationship, it will be a "single pendulum floating" disease in boxing theory, which will lead to the destruction of the integrity of boxing and the balance of Yin and Yang. As Master Chen Zhaokui said: "There is something wrong with one part of the fist, which may be the whole body, not one part." "One part is wrong, and the whole body is wrong." And the wrong boxing posture has no value or significance.
Vitality is the precious substance of a person's vitality. If you ingest a lot because of the pressure of work and life, there will be symptoms such as insufficient essence, blood stasis and qi deficiency, qi and blood imbalance, and meridian obstruction, which will lead to the decrease of brain cells, the gradual decline of liver and kidney functions, the decrease of essence and blood, and then the decline of memory, confusion, decreased vital capacity, shortness of breath, muscle relaxation, abdominal fat thickening, and decreased absorption function of small intestinal villi. Although drugs can be used for treatment at this time, common sense tells us that any drug has bad side effects on the body and is not the best way.
1988 10, just enrolled in Shaolin Wushu College of Henan University. Due to careless diet, sudden illness, diarrhea and dehydration, my weight dropped from 60 kg to 40 kg. After the injection and taking medicine, the condition improved and the body recovered. Perhaps the effect of drugs is limited, not completely eradicated, leaving inflammation. Teacher Chen Youze, who later taught Tai Ji Chuan, said, "Tai Ji Chuan can be treated. As long as you persist, it will have an effect. You might as well try. " At that time, I just entered the content study of Tai Chi Chuan. Because of Tai Ji Chuan's action, I have to relax the joints, ligaments and tendons in all parts of my body like a spring under the action rules of "motionless and motionless" and "completely complete", especially when the internal qi sinks into my lower abdomen, I want to be full, walk with clear fists and feet, breathe naturally, curve down my crotch and relax and bounce. At the same time, combine the field list
Internal rotation exercises make internal qi full, qi and blood guide each other, and connect up and down, so that the five internal organs can be regularly refined with each other in the movement of combining static and dynamic, and refined with boxing, thus achieving the balance between qi and blood and body and mind. Because I practiced in strict accordance with the requirements, once in the morning and once in the evening, I was basically integrated inside and outside, full of energy, enhanced the detoxification function of the liver, and promoted the secretion and absorption of villous glands in the small intestine. After three months of examination, I completely eradicated the residual inflammation and my body completely recovered. It also strongly proves that more people who persist in practicing Tai Ji Chuan for several years have ended the pain of hyperlipidemia. According to the author's experience, it is the most scientific method and the most wise to combine scientific drug therapy with scientific Tai Ji Chuan movement. If everyone, especially teenagers, learns from Tai Ji Chuan wisely, masters this scientific fitness method and persists for several years before getting sick, it will not only prevent problems before they happen, but also help teenagers develop healthily and exercise in a new way. Therefore, those who master Tai Ji Chuan or professor Tai Ji Chuan are the most knowledgeable doctors themselves or others. As the saying goes, "you don't get sick when you go to work."
As the saying goes: "The general rule does not hurt, but the pain will not work." It means that from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, if the human body is unwell or numb with soreness, it proves that this part is caused by the occlusion of qi and blood meridians. If there is no such phenomenon, it proves that the whole body's meridians and qi and blood are smooth. People will naturally be full of energy and energy. According to the theory of physiological mechanism in Neijing, it is considered that meridians are an important system of human balance. It is shown that the veins of the human body are drawn forward and backward, and the meridians between the hands and feet are interconnected, indicating that the qi and blood of the human body "belong to the five internal organs and the external collateral branches." Internal and external communication, such as "yin and yang intersect, such as endless cycle." The function is that luck promotes blood circulation and balances the yin and yang of the internal and external environment of the human body.
Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "silk-winding strength". When practicing boxing, it is required that no matter the range, speed, rigidity and softness of movements, the opening and closing of hands, legs and postures all appear in a spiral form. For example, Chen Xin said, "Tai Ji Chuan is also obsessed with the law". This kind of movement characterized by "winding" can make the human body turn left and right repeatedly during the winding process, from the inner alchemy to the trunk, limbs and even capillaries, which are not round or arc, and spiral everywhere, playing the role of dredging meridians and qi and blood. Completely conforms to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, regulates the balance of qi and blood, promotes qi circulation and removes blood stasis.
Now the food and articles on the market, as well as all kinds of qigong books in bookstores, have a certain positive effect on people's health. But I believe that more and more people will try all kinds of health care products and those effortless exercises, and then experience the health and pleasure brought by Tai Ji Chuan, especially Tai Ji Chuan of Chen Zhaokui's family. There will definitely be "looking in the crowd, suddenly looking back, scientific practice, Tai Ji Chuan."
Spiral, walking,
