Fourth, historical sources.
1. Heluo culture
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the fifth longest river in the world. In the history of China, the Yellow River and its coastal basins have brought great influence to human civilization. It is one of the most important cradles of the Han nationality and is called the "Mother River".
Luohe has a prominent position in the history of China. First of all, "Hutuluo", which is closely connected with ancient Chinese characters, has pushed the vast ignorant society onto the ladder of civilization.
The confluence of Luohe River is a natural phenomenon. The Luohe River is clear, the Yellow River is turbid, and the two rivers meet, forming a huge whirlpool that is clear, turbid and blended with each other.
According to legend, this is the place where Hetu, Luo wrote books, Fuxi realized Tai Chi and painted gossip. "Yi Chuan Jie" contains: "The river paints, Luo writes, and the sage makes it." Fuxi, the ancestor of the Han nationality, saw the phenomenon of intersection with Luo, and was inspired by the information in He Tu and Luo Shu, thus creating the Book of Changes and producing Taiji culture. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been known as "Tai Chi Tong He Luo in the world".
Since ancient times, the intersection of Heluo has been flowing with the blood of Taiji culture, which is connected with the context of Heluo culture, forming the root of Central Plains culture and containing the soul of Chinese culture. She is the cultural belly of the Han nationality! According to historical records, emperors such as Huangdi, Yaodi, Yu Xia and Shang Tang all made sacrifices to heaven here when they ascended the throne.
Wenxian County is located at the intersection of Heluo and is the core area of Heluo culture. Wenxian County is one of the earliest settlements of human activities, with dozens of Yangshao cultural sites and Longshan cultural sites. In Xia Dynasty, Wen was called Wen Guo. In Shang Dynasty, Wang Zuyi moved its capital to Wenzhou in the first14th generation, which made it prosperous. At the beginning of the week, Su Fensheng, the viceroy, sealed the Soviet Union, taking Wen as the first of the twelve cities sealed by Su. According to the records in The Theory of Salt and Iron, from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Wenxian County was already a "famous city in the world".
Wen county magistrate is an excellent man. Its geographical position is superior, with Mangshan and Yellow River as natural barriers in the south and Taihang natural graben in the north, which is the traffic artery connecting Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Jiaozuo Yellow River Highway Bridge is connected with Lianhuo Expressway, Jiaowen Expressway runs through the north and south, and other highways extend in all directions. National key projects such as the West-to-East Gas Transmission Project and the South-to-North Water Transfer Project pass through the territory, 40-60 kilometers away from Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Jiaozuo respectively. It is bordered by the Yellow River in the south, Qinshui in the north, Wuzhi County in the east, mengzhou city in the west and Qinyang in the northwest, belonging to the alluvial plain of the Yellow River and Qinhe River.
Wen county is the hometown of Qin Boyi, the designated heir, and also the hometown of Bu, one of the ten sons of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. Many historical celebrities such as Sima Yi and Guo emerged. Wenxian county is a treasure of things. With a total area of 462 square kilometers, it governs 10 townships and 262 administrative villages with a total population of 446,000. Wenxian County is located at 34 52'-35 02' north latitude and east longitude112 51'-kloc-0/313'. It has a continental monsoon climate with distinct seasons and abundant sunshine. The annual average temperature is 14.3℃, the annual precipitation is 552.4mm, and the frost-free period is 24 1 day. The southern part of Wenxian County is the Yellow River beach area and the northern part is the low hilly plain. Wenxian county is developed in agriculture, rich in wheat and corn, and is the origin of four major Huai medicines (Dioscorea opposita, Rehmannia glutinosa, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Achyranthes bidentata).
2. Hometown of Wushu
Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan, is located in the middle of Qingfeng-xiangguang fracture, six kilometers east of wen county. South of the village, across the Yellow River, there is the confluence of Hulao Pass, Fuxitai and Heluo. Not far from the northwest of Chenjiagou, there is the Taoist holy land "Erxian Temple", and there is Shaolin Temple in the southwest 100 km. Taoist culture, Buddhist culture and Confucian culture all converge here, forming a thick Central Plains culture that promotes the development of Chinese civilization. In the early Ming Dynasty, Chen Bu, the ancestor of Chen family in Chenjiagou, immigrated here from Shanxi, and he carried the martial arts of his family. There are ravines here, soldiers and bandits are rampant, and they often disturb the people. In order to defend mulberries, a Wushu club was established in the village, and Chenjiagou people practiced martial arts. The special human geographical environment and the heavy traditional culture of Han nationality here have had a far-reaching influence on Chen's creation of Chen Tai Ji Chuan.
Chen (Zi Zuting, 1600 ~ 1680), the ninth generation of Chen family in Chenjiagou, was born in the 28th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, in Ming Dynasty and in Qing Dynasty.

He is knowledgeable, both civil and military, good at boxing and martial arts, with profound kung fu and superhuman flying skills. When I was young, I rushed around Shandong, sweeping away bandits. When the robbers heard about "fame", they were very scared. In his later years, Chen lived in seclusion in the village, accompanied by Huang Tingjing, devoted himself to studying Yi-ology and collecting and sorting out folk martial arts. He was rooted in Taiji, inherited China's traditional thought of "harmony between man and nature" and the theory of Yin and Yang, combined the advantages of various martial arts on the basis of family boxing, and combined his life-long study of martial arts with the breathing and breathing guided by Taoism to create a martial arts boxing-"Tai Ji Chuan".
Chen Chuanshi's five-way boxing, five-way boxing, 108 long boxing, double pusher, knife, gun, sword, stick, hammer, double gun and other instruments. Among them, double pushers and double guns have unprecedented unique styles.

The overall characteristics of verbs (abbreviation of verb)
1. Overview
Tai Ji Chuan has a unique style and distinctive features in attack and defense. It requires static braking, combining rigidity and softness, avoiding reality and being empty, leveraging strength, and advocating that everything should be carried out objectively, coexist with others, and be dull. "He doesn't move, he moves first" and "the latecomers come from the top", which leads to the weightlessness and failure of the other party, or disperses the other party's strength, takes advantage of it and fights back with all his strength. Tai Ji Chuan's principle of attack and defense is embodied in the training of pushing hands and routine movements, which can not only train people's physical qualities such as reaction ability, strength and speed, but also has very important significance in the training of attack and defense fighting. Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense methods all follow the principle of Yin and Yang, and the main attack and defense process is "induced compound development". In Wushu, we can perceive the strength and direction of the opponent's coming force by listening, and "change the way with the trend" to induce the future force and then exert it.
Tai Ji Chuan's eight forces: flexion (for resolving or Qi Xin's concerted attack), sliding (for taking advantage of backward attraction), squeezing (footwall bending), pressing (footwall bending or anti-joint grip) and pulling (combining the opponent's strength with force or grip). Its characteristics are: "there is rigidity in softness, waiting for action, straightness in circle, strength in small, and strength in weak".

Whether it is theoretical research or personal practice, whether it is to improve one's technology and skills, or to prolong one's life and preserve one's health, one can participate in Tai Ji Chuan and gain one's own needs from it.
4. Security
Tai Ji Chuan's relaxed and supple movement features smooth movements without exertion, which can not only eliminate the original stiff strength of boxing practitioners, but also avoid the damage of muscles, joints, ligaments and other organs.

1. Stretch generously, combining rigidity with softness.
Tai Ji Chuan fully embodies the word "slowness", which means slowness gives birth to softness, softness has rigidity, and both rigidity and softness are combined.

2. Coherence and consistency, round and natural
The whole set of Tai Ji Chuan exercises, with uniform speed, strong continuity and seemingly continuous flow, requires the upper limbs to bend everywhere, avoid going straight, and keep the joints naturally bent. Practice has proved that exercising through circular activities is beneficial to the roundness and naturalness of movements, and also embodies the characteristics of softness.
3. Internal and external training, coordination and integrity
Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to the integration of inner (thoughts, breathing) and outer (trunk, limbs movements), and uses consciousness to guide movements, that is, intention to follow, strong hands and coordination of all parts of the body. At the same time, according to the requirements of inhalation and exhalation, the breathing and movements are naturally coordinated, so that the whole body is coordinated and complete, and all parts of the body develop evenly.
