Yang Tai Ji Chuan's action requirements are like the Yangtze River, which is endless. The completion of this action is the beginning of the next action, and the next action continues. Psychologically, it is also required to do it at one go.
Yang Tai Jichuan has a remarkable effect on neurasthenia, insomnia, dizziness, headache, fatigue and other diseases caused by sub-health of white-collar workers by improving our brain function and regulating the excitement and inhibition of cerebral cortex. Moreover, Tai Ji Chuan asked us to relax all over, so as to reduce the vascular resistance of the human body, accelerate our blood circulation, and reduce the burden on the heart. Tai Ji Chuan's breathing is abdominal deep breathing, which can calm the abdomen and has a good massage and health care effect on internal organs.
Specific fitness functions are embodied in:
First, improve the nervous system: Tai Ji Chuan asked for overall relaxation and relaxed performance, and practiced the methods of "seeking quietness while moving" and "not intentionally exerting force" to make the central nervous system fully rested and the nerve excitement and inhibition were constantly adjusted.
Second, improve the quality of breathing: Tai Ji Chuan requirements; "Guide qi with intention, and transport the body with qi". Gradually achieve uniform, deep, soft and slow abdominal breathing, so that the lungs and diaphragm do longitudinal relaxation and expansion, and improve alveolar ventilation function. As the saying goes, "Breathe into the navel, life is natural". Show the effect of abdominal breathing.
Third, improve the function of viscera: due to the relaxation and expansion of "abdominal breathing", autonomous visceral massage is formed, which effectively promotes the blood supply of various tissues and organs in the whole body and coordinates the functions between viscera. Because Tai Ji Chuan attaches great importance to the exercise of the waist, buttocks and spine, the exercise of deficiency and excess of the waist and back can strengthen the kidney. According to Medical Penetration, the kidney yin goes up, and the back brain is the marrow sea. Chinese medicine holds that the kidney is the innate foundation, and the strong kidney does not invade all diseases.
Fourthly, strengthen physical activity: Tai Ji Chuan demanded that "the potential moves in an arc and the force moves in a spiral", "the upper and lower parts follow each other, and the inner and outer parts blend together" and "the whole body moves without moving". Make all joints, bones and muscles of the whole body participate in this gentle, stretching and continuous movement. Make muscles elastic and improve blood supply and metabolism between joints and bones.
5. Dredge the Meridian Tunnel: Tai Ji Chuan requires the neck to be "empty" upward, "loose to the sole" downward, and "fall into a spring". The central part requires "qi sinks in the abdomen" and "mainly in the waist". This is an important way to exercise Ren Du's second pulse, as well as to pulse and pulse. The limbs should reach the four ends of the limbs with gentle, continuous and winding movements. So as to dredge the twelve meridians.
