First, comfort-oriented, happy self.
Many people who practice Tai Ji Chuan emphasize "hard work", but the more "hard work" they are, the more likely they are to be stiff, nervous and sluggish, so that not only can they not get the fun and proper fitness effect of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, but some people may even get physical injuries due to improper exercise.
Taiji culture advocates and spreads Taiji Chuan. Boxing practice pays attention to "finding comfort" and "finding comfort and practicing". Discomfort is the reason why you can't practice boxing. Therefore, the more you practice, the more comfortable you are, the more you enjoy it, the more you practice your body's qi and blood, and the happier you are. The life of contemporary people is tense. Therefore, popularizing this Tai Ji Chuan of "finding comfort and practicing comfort" is very beneficial for relieving stress, relaxing body and mind, promoting blood circulation and prolonging life.
Second, breathe naturally and leave no trace.
The Tai Ji Chuan we advocate does not require special breathing. During the whole practice, Tai Ji Chuan should be like the mountains and rivers of nature, without overemphasizing anything or setting up special breathing methods. If he puts too much emphasis on breathing when practicing boxing, it will violate Tai Ji Chuan's original state of natural inaction.
Breathing during boxing and walking is like water flowing into the sand without a trace. If you do this for a long time, you will naturally form a "deep, thin and even" breathing state, thus unconsciously entering the beautiful artistic conception of practicing Tai Ji Chuan. In this way, the body will naturally get healthy and the spirit will be nourished unconsciously.
Third, borrow the false to fix the true and temper the divine will.
The Legend of Taiji, which we highly admire, attaches great importance to the cultivation of truth by borrowing falsehood-through thinking in images, we "create" some, several and dozens of concrete images from daily life and natural scenes, and then cultivate our inner true meaning through these "nothingness" concrete images-the true meaning is "intentional or unintentional, with true meaning".
Tai Ji Chuan's unique way of thinking, with the distinctive characteristics of China's traditional culture, can not be summarized by simple sports events; It is even more operable than the "brain revolution" advocated by Japanese medical expert Maoxiong Chunshan (the author of the famous book "Brain Revolution"). Mao Xiong Chunshan thinks that the right brain exercise method of "creating image" is the best way to delay aging, because "the right brain has the essence of human wisdom".
Tai Ji Chuan's unique way of thinking, which comes from the wisdom of ancient people in China, is the best right brain exercise.
Fourth, stillness and motion are as wonderful as air.
The internal starting sequence of physical and mental kungfu, such as "moving in silence", "meaning first, posture is driven by internal qi", must be preserved and passed down, otherwise it will be a great loss not only in the cultural fields of Tai Ji Chuan and Taiji, but also in the traditional culture of China. Without these skills and concepts of "self-seeking" and "self-cultivation-oriented", the core connotation of Taiji culture will be greatly reduced.
In the Tai Chi culture system, Tai Ji Chuan's skill, the changing law of Yin and Yang, and his posture are all from static to dynamic, from the inside out. Otherwise, it is "putting the cart before the horse" and staying away from "Tao".
Fifth, get rid of illness and prolong life, and achieve physical and mental harmony.
In the Tai Chi culture system, the communication channels between boxing friends in Tai Ji Chuan are trained by pushing hands (also known as rubbing hands, linking hands and rubbing hands), piercing hands (Chuanshou) and Sanshou in turn. In this process, we should follow the three principles of "abstinence from wisdom". "abstinence" means abstaining from exertion and avoiding "wrestling and pushing"; "Setting" means being calm, feeling at ease, circulating freely, giving up who I am and going with the flow; "Wisdom" means giving birth to the wisdom of Tai Chi, integrating body and mind, and enjoying yourself all the time.
In Tai Ji Chuan's Kung Fu system, the communication channels between Tai Ji Chuan boxers, such as pushing hands (pushing hands is the kung fu training between internal disciples), are not a passionate struggle, not a win or lose of kung fu, but a victory over the habit of trying to exert oneself, so that one's mind can maintain a relaxed balance in the face of pressure, and the body can have a better circulation of qi and blood in the process of communication. In this way, we can test whether the spirit (the Yin of Tai Chi) and the body movements (the Yang of Tai Chi) become a whole. In addition, deep penetration massage with each other is also an effective way, which is very helpful to promote communication and physical and mental cultivation among Tai Ji Chuan fans. It is not only civilized and interesting, but also elegant, with obvious fitness effect, which meets the needs of modern civilized exchanges and the establishment of a harmonious society, and can achieve the effects of eliminating diseases, prolonging life, strengthening body, dredging qi and blood, and improving body and mind.
In a word, the purpose of communication between boxing friends in Tai Ji Chuan is not to be competitive, not to defeat others, but to overcome oneself, get rid of the shackles of limited life and secular interests, participate in the fate of Yin and Yang, and enjoy the pleasure of "prolonging life without rejuvenation", so as to comprehensively optimize body, mind and life.
Sixth, Zhongzheng Anshu regulates Yin and Yang.
Tai Ji Chuan in the Taiji cultural system does not take the beauty and difficulty of movements as the standard of practicing boxing, but advocates a high degree of harmony in the inner spiritual realm, which is loose, steady, slow, even, loose, empty, loose, complete, loose and clear.
Loose, steady and slow: loose, that is, you can't be nervous from expression to action; Stability means keeping balance from spirit to posture; Slow is slow; Uniformity means uniform movements, postures and breathing.
Scattering pervades the air: Scattering is a uniform dispersion and mixing, and consciousness drives the internal and external qi to fill the void evenly; Permeability is good, without stiffness, bumps and obstacles; Emptiness is the real physical and mental pathway.
Scattered and complete: only when it is empty can it be round and circular; Then, energy can be full and vitality can be revealed.
Dispersion and quietness: culture means mixing, blending, communication and integration; There is nothing hard in my heart, quiet and peaceful; Positive, neutral and virtual, the function is to regulate yin and yang and make it peaceful and balanced.
The above four approaches are the physical and mental realms achieved by practicing Taiji culture one by one-through internal strength realm, water realm and spiritual realm. Whether it can be done in this life or not, practitioners of Taiji culture must pursue it.
Seven, profound, China orthodox.
Tai Ji Chuan in the Taiji cultural system has no connection with the popular Tai Ji Chuan. Its vocabulary and terminology, connotation and realm, expression and means, and its own system all come from teachers' biographies and spread in a small scale.
Because the ideological pulse and spiritual temperament of Taiji culture come from the broadness of Buddhism, the subtlety of Taoism, the extremes of Confucianism, the gasification of medicine and the pursuit of martial arts, its traditional culture is profound and is the crystallization of the real Taoist culture in China.
China people's orthodoxy is a kind of outlook on life, world outlook and values handed down from generation to generation, and it is also a kind of wisdom and ideological system that seeks essence from within. This system is based on the unity of knowledge and practice-first, we should know life activities, optimize life through self-cultivation, and then we should know and transform the objective world, so as to "manage the family, govern the country and level the world". In this process, we mainly improve our wisdom and ability by understanding "reason" and "thing".
The reason of Tai Chi culture is Tai Chi mode of thinking; Taiji culture is the cultivation of Taiji Kung Fu (internal strength, boxing frame and thinking in one).
Eight, three of them are one and the other is clear.
"One is born, the other is born, the third is born, and everything is born", which is the universal metaplasia law of China traditional culture, and the core secret and mechanism of Taiji culture are buried. After mastering this core secret and mechanism, the tempering of Taiji Kung Fu will come naturally, and the doorway will be grasped.
"There are sun, moon and stars in the sky, and people are full of vitality", which is often used in China's traditional culture, and comes from China people's concern for the nature and life activities of the universe. Essence represents meat, tendon, bone and body fluid; Qi includes internal qi and external qi; God has two material connotations: God and mind. The ultimate goal of tempering and fumigation of Taiji Kung Fu is to push people's "spirit" to a more subtle and pure realm. How to achieve this state? If you take part in the research at the same time in the way of Tai Chi culture, you will be promoted clearly.
Taiji cultural system, trinity, trinity, is born of reason, advances because of existence, and comes from transmission. For the communication system of Taiji culture, the author combs out the effective ways to realize Taiji wisdom according to what he has learned, and realizes his Taiji Kung Fu and life realm through three fists, three skills, three teachers and three realms.
Only by clearly grasping these connotations of Taiji culture, being diligent in practice and practice can Taiji culture be "self-controlled".
General situation, order and spirit of September 13
The physical functions of Tai Chi-touching, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, stroking, elbowing, advancing, retreating, looking left and right, and centering-must be integrated into physical and mental training in an overlapping way, and cannot be separated for a moment; These connotations must form an automation-if you don't move, you will have it, if you come, you will have it-so that your temperament and wisdom are impartial, and the balance between righteousness and yin and yang is a temporary adjustment; In this way, we can step into the realm of "order and divinity" with a "neutral" way of thinking, life style and behavior-to realize "clear mind and see nature"
Some people may think that this is an "impossible task"; However, as long as we hold the mentality of "only seeking cultivation, not seeking harvest" and constantly "silently ponder", the joy of "being suddenly enlightened" will continue to emerge. The realm of "Tai Chi Image" of "Order and God" may come unexpectedly. Maybe all this can't be realized after all, but the happiness of body and mind and the happiness of health and longevity are bound to accompany the life of Tai Chi culture lovers. In this way, all efforts will also show special value and significance.
