Tai Ji Chuan's Nine-layer Kung Fu
It is difficult to practice the time of Taiji Biography to the point of legend, and people have a bigger question: Can the facts in Taiji Biography compare with the past? Emma Wu Tunan, a teacher who has been practicing Tai Ji Chuan for more than 90 years, said? Did Tai Chi push or not? It's better to fight, then why is it called? Boxing in the era of Yang Luchan, Hao Weizhen and others, even in the Yan period, Tai Ji Chuan could fight, so why today's Tai Ji Chuan can only push but not hit people?
The old boxing spectrum is too weak, and it is not easy to understand unless it is cultivated to a certain extent. Among the famous Tai Ji Chuan artists in the second half of the 20th century, apart from Hao Shaoru's boxing theory and Yan's, only He's works can be used as a yardstick for cultivation. Recently, my uncle Wu wrote an article introducing Zheng's works. Mr. Zheng Manqing has a saying: If you ask about the experience of more than 40 years, there are only two words: 12: Heaven: swallowing the air of heaven, grounding gas, longevity and softness. ? The specific training methods are discussed in detail in Mr. Zheng's masterpiece, which is worth learning by those who are interested.
I want to introduce some scholars' methods in various disciplines, which is a supplement to Ten Questions of Taiji Biography.
The first layer of time: the shape is upright and smooth.
Some people who think they haven't practiced much will say: what time is this! Take a look in the park. How many people can practice during this time? They either bow their heads or ass up. Don't look down on other people's professional competitive martial arts when practicing ancient times. At the Spring Festival party in 2007, the most wonderful program was Running Water performed by those Tai Ji Chuan champions. That should be a model of righteousness and smoothness, which is both beautiful and irregular. The champion's legs flew up, and he turned and flew lotus flowers one after another. He was not only light and detached, but also had a sense of stagnation. After landing, his spirit did not grow and his face did not change color. Which ancient practitioner has time! Athletes don't practice internal skills, martial arts and pushing hands. It takes years or even longer to practice a healthy posture, so they can spend so much time.
Why don't you go with the situation and think about what Mr. Wu Tunan said? The first thing to relax is to lift. The higher you lift, the faster you land. ? These words are the most important. So-called? A compliment? , what else? Virtual collar strength? There is a coincidence. Tai Ji Chuan must relax if he wants to practice lightness. Mr. Wu has a saying: casual work, such as holding a pearl high, breaks leisurely, like a broken pearl, and the grain falls to the ground, like a moving pearl. The round work is abnormal, wave after wave, innocent and without delay. ? Anyone who practices Tai Chi can only play slow boxing, so it is better to play fast boxing. Virtual collar strength? The gist, but I don't know? A compliment? After that, I felt very relaxed and boasted that I could fight for more than an hour with a set of fists. How much time is left!
So what? A compliment? How to practice? Lift the body with the skull, right? Just kidding, you have to push yourself out of high blood pressure! When the virtual collar is lifted, the head muscles should be absolutely relaxed, and Baihui point can only be relaxed. What are the skills? Swallow the breath of heaven? . So-called? Mention? , is it mentioned? Lots of work? The tendons on the back of acupoints connect all the links of the whole spine. If this tendon can be lifted, all the links in the spine will naturally become beads. People who used to practice Tai Ji Chuan or other internal boxing always let this tendon come up first, so they can use it? Elbows can fly gold crystals? Or? Thirteen piles? Like other methods, the pulling and grinding method of Bagua Palm is also the best way to screw the tendon out of the groove.
Waist is the key hub of Tai Ji Chuan's performance. The ancestors said: the waist strength should be heavy. What is the sinking method? The door of life should tilt back slightly, the tail should look forward and down for the fountain of feet, and the ass should slide to the heel. The waist strength is heavy, and the skill is covered by turning abdomen. Some people who practice martial arts and Tai Chi often uplift Jiaji points. It is rumored that it is related to practicing Qi and gathering bones, but this is not the case. Waist and top are the key to Taiji Chuan modeling, and the modeling is smooth.
The principle of harmony is pranayama, as Qiu Chuji said. Breathe to the roots, inhale from outside to inside, inhale. ? Inhale naturally, exhale to Tian Dan with your mind, and if you have a sword, descend to the perineum.
?
The second time: abdominal inversion.
Many practitioners list this as a good time, but it is not. In the authentic Taiji Gate, this is basic, and martial arts must first be transformed into the abdomen of the five elements. Turning to the abdomen has two functions. First, it makes the abdomen active, so that it can absorb gas. This gas belongs to mixed gas, and it is still tangible the day after tomorrow. However, it is the capital for cultivating talents. Practitioners of ordinary roots may not enter the state of lack of talents at the beginning, so they should cultivate mixed gas first. The second is to cultivate the folk custom of moving limbs in Dantian. Xiadantian is the center of Neijia Boxing. Some people say that dantian is the second brain of human beings, and tantric practice proves that the four fingers under the navel have bright spots, which can give the mind. The highest point of Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts is to be natural, but it is better to be out of the abdomen.
First of all, you should inhale with your mind, stand in the Tai Chi pile, take Tai Chi steps, then walk on the shelf and exhale, and the qi of the meridians will gather in the abdomen and gradually form an air dome. Turn this air dome inward and rotate the spine and midvein to form a boxing frame from the inside out, and then you can enter the internal boxing method.
The third layer of time: shot and shaking.
Those who want to agree to practice Tai Ji Chuan's kungfu must work hard. The time of pushing hands can only be used for the game of fighting deer, and the power of pushing hands is long power. However, it can be used in the cold and crisp shaking and frying of Taijiquan martial arts, which can only be achieved by shaking the big stick and practicing the secret boxing frame. For decades, the author has been looking for the original biography of Tai Ji Chuan which is practical for martial arts. In 2007, introduced by Mr. Jiang Tiesen, I got to know Mr. Wu Benping, a direct disciple of Mr. Huo Mengkui, and got to know Mr. Wu Yuxiang's Fifty-four Biographies of Tai Ji Chuan by Yang Banhou. According to the elders, Chen Qing and Yang Luchan both had the experience of hurting people, and the Wu family helped them settle it with the help of Zheng Hai, so the Wu brothers were able to get a glimpse of the boxing and training methods that could hurt people. However, after the boxing disaster, Yang Chen and his two families showed people by Tai Ji Chuan's method, which can subdue people without hurting others, leading today's Tai Ji Chuan learners to mistakenly think that thugs are pushers and pushers are Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts. Mr. Wu Tunan said that? Did Tai Chi push or not? , and the usual life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect themselves after a long time, what's more, come to blows with clever chess, such as Wu Gongyi and Mr. Chen of Baihemen, which is neither preemptive nor hurtful, which makes everyone surprised by Tai Ji Chuan.
People who can be called boxing at all times and all over the world must hurt people sometimes, and their strength must be lethal. The lethality of Shaolin and other sects depends on the iron sand palm, iron fist skill and iron finger skill, while the internal skills stipulate piling, guiding, meditation and shaking the big bar, cultivating yin strength and invigorating strength. Holding the idea of external injuries. After several years of practice, when the muscles of the arm are relaxed, they can gradually emit the power of bouncing and shaking, helping each other to practice posture and footwork, which can be used in martial arts. The specific practice method of shaking the big pole can be seen in the book. The appearance of full-body explosive force depends on the abundant mixed energy and the great success. In actual martial arts, when the opponent's fist approaches, the whole body spirals, and this explosive force can open the opponent's blow.
The fourth layer time: rapid stretching.
People who practice Tai Chi at ordinary times are determined by the middle, and when the martial arts door is in harmony with yin and yang, it should be quiet. What is the so-called? Moving is static, and static is moving? Yeah! In ancient times, the fixed training method was a bit like Gong Zhuang in an instant, with three or five breaths at a time. Therefore, some people practice Tai Chi more slowly, which is an understandable practice method. But we need to practice faster and faster, and our inner spirit is surging. It is better to pause a little. Wu-style small frame, Yang-style small frame, Yang-style long fist and Wu-style fast fist are all like this.
First of all, we should practice our time until the spirit surges inside. This spirit is still not talented, but it is still tangible and mixed. Walking the meridians and viscera can help martial arts and resist fighting. It's really a surge of internal qi, and walking will naturally get faster and faster. Moreover, after each exertion, the internal qi will be as soft as spinning thread, so that the boxing momentum will continue and the gas will continue. The choice of boxing frame is also very important. In his early years, he studied Wu-style fast boxing after school in Hewlett-Packard Normal School, and then he saw Yang-style small boxing in Beijing. I was deeply impressed by its rich skills and footwork. In 2007, Mr. Wu Benping learned Li's "Fifty-four Fast Boxing" before fully understanding the mystery of Tai Ji Chuan's original boxing.
Wu Yuxiang Li Chuanshi's old frame carefully rotates the midvein and spine to form the waist, legs and arms? Back thread? Take your hands off and form a circle. Your steps slide like the wind, and your strength is cold and brittle. Especially suitable for martial arts. But it's particularly difficult to practice. Without ten years of pure merit, you can never cultivate a taste. As Mr. Zhu Datong preached: You don't need to practice gas, strength, waist and posture, just use one? Loose? , one? Empty? You can practice time, it's pure fantasy. I think this is a unique aspect that he invented for himself because he didn't spend time when he was young and didn't formally enter Tai Chi Gate!
The fifth floor time: yellow through.
Mr. min xiaogen used tantric cultivation methods for reference to create? Straight through the yellow? I agree to practice the Chinese preserved egg method. Straight through the yellow? It is more practical to practice Dan Dao through Taiji Chuan than to run Ren Du Shang Mai. Many practitioners use ideas to guide the governor, which will lead to legacy. He looks radiant, broad and fat, but he used to suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure, but the method of cultivating midvein between Huang Zhongzhitou and tantric Buddhism is still different. Tai Ji Chuan's internal skill is to turn the abdomen with the four images first, and then to stimulate the limbs with the rotation of the midvein and spine as the central axis, so this internal skill can easily buy off the triple energizer. Many people practice Tai Ji Chuan for a year or so, and their food intake increases greatly, which is the biggest feature of fitness in Tai Ji Chuan. Straight through the yellow? It is more suitable for Tai Ji Chuan's internal cultivation than Xiao Zhoutian.
Someone wrote an article recently? Tai Chi Chuan's Theory of Three Veins and Seven Wheels and Tibetan Secrets? Coherence, this is not a breakthrough, but a certain consistency between the two overhaul certificate systems. Some people imagine that there are nine beads on the walker in Tai Ji Chuan, and the rotation of these nine beads forms the framework of Artest Tai Ji Chuan. It turns out that this is the same principle as seven turns to stimulate the whole body to do boxing. Tai Chi Chuan? Straight through the yellow? First of all, you should be angry on the silver bridge, which is the same as the cultivation principle of hiding secret fire, except that Tai Ji Chuan's anger depends on tai chi pile's achievement method, not the seven-sitting method. After getting angry, Yinqiao can gradually change the mixed vitality of the air dome in the abdomen and turn it into natural water. The abdomen will be as calm as a teenager, as if it has the effect of losing weight, while the internal organs and energy are facing melting before washing hands. Tianyi Zhenshui and Tantra? Bodhi Moon Liquid? Similarly, this is also the basis for the transfer of talents day by day, and it is also the basis for gathering energy.
I have written many articles about Tai Ji Chuan's internal cultivation, and most of them are my own experience in practicing according to the guidance of my ancestors and the ancient method of Dandao. I follow the rules and make profits, but I want to grow up in Tai Ji Chuan, but I can't learn from others. Many people in Shanghai secretly practice Tai Chi. They studied fingering taught by tantric monks in the early 20th century, and trained Tai Ji Chuan to a high level. We only know musicians and their sons, but there is more. Li Shu, my student, has many opinions during his five years in Shanghai Institute of Physical Education.
Tai Ji Chuan's Nine-layer Kung Fu
The sixth time: gather qi to the bone.
Uncle Hao Shaoru talked about it in his masterpiece "Kung Fu Taiji Biography"? Hold your breath at the waist? :? When the shoulders are relaxed, the air sinks to the back, and the shoulders are close to the spine and close to the waist, which is called the lumbar spine. ? What is lumbar vertebra? Uncle Hao has a theory: In Wushu Tai Ji Chuan, the individual spine is the main bow, the upper and lower ends of the Dazhui and spinal root are the tips of the bow, and the lumbar spine (at Mingmen) is the handle of the bow. ? In other words, Mingmen is the key to gathering qi. Who is the life gate? The root of life, the foundation of talent? However, although Mingmen has the effect of strengthening yang and tonifying kidney, it is regrettable that it can't collect qi. What is the first test for people who can gather gas? Bone yang? Bone marrow is warm. The secret method of this school is coccyx, which originated from the inner red heart method handed down by Chen. The coccyx has nine orifices and can absorb natural water.
At this stage of action, Jiang Tiesen's feet are as empty as water pipes, soft as bones, and qi and blood are like water, while internal forces, such as water pressure, can be injected with qi and blood at will with the change of boxing frame. My experience: when the spine is warm first and then hot, the skin on the opposite side will break out in a rash, which may be red and itchy for a long time. Hot to the phalanx, the upper limbs will send out when they move? Bone sound? Then if you inject boiling water into the lower limbs, the soles of your feet will be very hot, and you may have beriberi all year round. From then on, the body will be fond of cold and afraid of heat, and gradually cold and summer will not invade.
Xu Lecun, the son of Mr. Le Huanzhi, has eight articles on Tai Ji Chuan Studies, in which he talks about the opening and closing operation of internal qi, which is concrete, tangible and deliberate. What do you think of internal qi? Wheels usually rotate? ,? On the basis of it, it is already a talent level. . Stealing on this ground, improper, invisible talent, why not? The usual wheel spinning has reached the level of mixed elements at most, which is far from talent? , is that okay? Focus your breath on the bone? It's a sign of talent. Why not vaporize the mixed elements into an invisible image first? Is it really water? Talent can only be immersed in the nine strokes of the tail. Let me say a few more words about mixed yuan seven. 1989 when I was filming a Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan lecture for my former teacher, Mr. Wang Huipu, one evening, my teacher asked me to go to his expensive apartment alone. The teacher invited Zhang Sanfeng's self-portrait and an old Taiji biography book to give me a long look, and then chat? Tai Chi Dan? Yes, the teacher asked me to touch his abdomen. If there is table tennis equipment moving, the teacher says, This is Tai Ji Chuan. ? Then comment and explain:? The deeper the time, the smaller the ball. Master Wang Maozhai's Taiji Dan is only as big as a soybean, while Teacher Yang Yuting's Taiji Dan is only as big as a peanut. ? Now that I think about it, Mr. Wang's Taiji Dan is also a tangible thing, and it is a natural thing. The smaller it can be refined, the closer it is to talent!
When the boxing frame reaches the stage of gathering gas to the bone, the joints of the whole body should be opened, the boxing potential should be stretched and relaxed, and attention should be paid to seeking quietness while moving, so that the body and mind are consistent. If you can walk while your mind is still alive, you will become a genius the day after tomorrow!
The seventh layer of time: I feel lonely.
Practice? Straight through the yellow? ,? How fat are people? :? The most refined person has two characteristics. One is that he pays attention to energy, and his abdomen and back are as dry and slippery as bacon. The other is that he is energetic and his forehead and skull are as fat as powder. But blood vessels are prevalent, so it should be natural, and those who make mistakes don't go to school. ? And then what? Focus your breath on the bone? After that, people will become thinner, and it is better to activate the already weak nervous system in the body after the flow of hematopoietic stem cells increases. According to the teaching method in The Wheel of Time, there are 72,000 qi veins in the human body, and two are necrotic every day from the fifth month after birth? Pulse? 100 years later, all 72,000 qi pulses died. This state may be reversed after qi is absorbed into the bone. If you can activate the qi pulse of the whole body, it will happen naturally? Feeling lonely? The effectiveness of.
Time has developed into a unique organization, and it will walk very lightly. All over? Should the link be loose and the fur be attacked? Standing in the Tai Ji Chuan pile in summer, you may see the hairs on your arms stand on end. 1in the autumn of 996, I directed the film crew to shoot the large-scale documentary "Man and Island" in Changhai County, interviewing during the day and practicing at the seaside at night. When I fight, I sweat and provoke mosquitoes. Every time a mosquito falls, I know. I always shake myself. My brothers who accompanied me in Taiwan Province felt ridiculous when they saw me fighting. When standing in a pile, it's quiet inside, and you'll know when mosquitoes fall on your hair. That year, I went to Beijing, visited several ancestors and talked about these understandings. Some ancestors said: This is a lonely time.
Tai Chi Chuan? Feeling lonely? It's time to cultivate one's morality. I didn't know the taste of Zen until 1992, which is of great help to the spread of Taiji. If you don't meditate for half an hour every day, you won't get up early when you feel lonely. At this time, the heart of seeing the news suddenly dropped, so why not really realize it? There is stillness in movement, and there is movement in silence? . One punch can rob a room for a long time and forget the passage of time. It's easy to be quiet when standing on a pile, and it will soon produce talents. After the body gradually slims down, there will be bone-blood separation, and the muscles are as loose as hanging on the endoskeleton! When walking boxing, the muscles seem to have stopped working.
The eighth time: it should be natural.
The real relaxation is to let go of your body and mind, not to relax with your mind. At that time, every cell of the body can be its own master, and part is the whole, and the whole can also be transformed into parts. In martial arts, the real public, when they take over, don't change their minds, change their angles and fight for the future with their natural feelings. It is futile to think and judge with cerebellum. They have to rely on the touch of fur and the touch of nerves to react when they stop. The legend that the grandfather of Neijia Boxing beat the sneak attacker away without knowing it or not is not all false. I've been there. Some people have commented that the natural time to react to things is that when the body is hit, it can condense the true qi in the body at the hit place, thus generating great power. This statement is a bit far-fetched, but it seems reasonable.
It turns out that when things should let nature take its course, it is the end of cultivation. As far as epistemology is concerned, if Descartes says, I think, therefore I am? . Similar to the cultivation system of Tai Ji Chuan, Dandao and Zen. To cultivate the mind is to separate the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and front from the sixth sense, then separate the sixth sense from the seventh sense, and finally show Aryan knowledge, and then achieve dzogchen. For a long time, if you walk, stand and meditate in a state of knowing sometimes, people's first five senses will change from being forced to give and receive to being able to respond to objective things at the same time. At this point, the overall understanding of practitioners will be? According to basic knowledge, five senses follow fate, all or none, such as Tao Bo following water? . Although it is far from the original idea, it has reached the point where things should be logical. When the fist moves, the four elephants in Dantian District are no longer used to drive, and the whole body begins to blur. Only the bright spots under the umbilicus rotate and combine to form the boxing potential.
The ninth layer of time: void biochemistry.
This should be the highest state of physical cultivation, invisible and without image, sometimes without desire or desire, without the slightest affectation. Boxing potential does not come from hands, feet and body, but from the heart like a clear spring, and this heart is Aryan knowledge. Since the advent of photography, all the famous boxing photos are inferior to those that have been verified, only those of Zheng Manqing? White crane with bright wings? Might as well get close to this organization. This point is not loose, but loose, not empty and empty, the body and mind have merged, and the news is the same, as if. Body and mind are transparent, and there are no obstacles outside, just like the shadow in boxing. The practitioner doesn't know that I am practicing boxing, but he is still practicing boxing, and gradually he doesn't know boxing and me.
There are several topics to talk about. There are more and more people practicing Tai Ji Chuan now. When I practiced in Xiaoheyan and Luxun Children's Park in August of last century, not only squirrels were released, but owls also walked at night. There is nothing but people now. So many people practice Tai Ji Chuan, mostly for fitness, and Tai Ji Chuan does have the function of keeping fit and ward off evil spirits. However, people in their forties and fifties can never practice Tai Ji Chuan's real kung fu. In the past, our ancestors said: we should study in our twenties, practice in our thirties and forties, and raise in our fifties and sixties. I didn't think of learning from Tai Ji Chuan until I was forty or fifty years old. With a little understanding, I wrote a book and even denied the ancient practice of ancient noodles, which seems a bit like a mantis car! What's more, their surface usually replaces the whole cultivation process with staged experience, which has almost become the characteristic of Tai Chi spreading to the surface in this world.
One is the origin of Tai Chi Chuan. Some people say that the masterpiece of the body acts on the anklet, so where is the origin of the internal movement of the body? Some people take the glomeruli on both sides of Mingmen as the original moving point, which should have originated in Wang Peisheng? Six goals? On the surface, it's a pity that the kidney ball is located behind the midline, and insists on leaning forward when walking, which makes people can't help but say: bow your head is not high. ? It turns out that Tian Dan is a complete Tai Chi ball, which contains the image of four waters of Yin and Yang. Wudaomen warned Wang Zongyue to talk about Tian's one-sided fist, and to create his own internal four images and turn them into five elements and transport them abroad. Through more than one hundred years of practice, it has been verified that it can be used as the key to family cultivation.
The second is nonsense? Loose? And then what? Empty? Pine is the appearance of Tai Chi internal strength training to a certain temperature, not deliberately obtained. At the beginning of practicing boxing, if it is not tight, it will be loose. This is what my mentor HP taught me. After you practice your internal skills, you can't relax. Meaningful seeking for relaxation is not really relaxation. Don't you know that all tangible intentions are false? ? Empty? What's even more ridiculous is that reaching out and touching people feels empty. It's just that they are strong and leave at the touch. Not that his body is really empty. It's not Tai Chi Chuan that can really practice empty body. It has the know-how of the clean magic body of the big finger model and the rainbow body of dzogchen. Inner alchemy can reach this level to the extreme. Is that really a makeover? Empty? Yes
The third is to exaggerate the efficacy of pushing hands. Pushing hands is nothing but a game. This kind of game is beneficial to improve the stability of hearing and skin center of gravity, but it is powerless in dealing with actual combat. Try those children who practice boxing and Sanda. Don't think that people won't dare to hit you because you are old. Don't forget that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Can you really practice Tai Ji Chuan time? Void biochemistry? The point will appear? Sanyi? The image is as smooth as jade, as white as a crane, and the childlike innocence is still alive. Maybe you can cultivate the childlike innocence with green hair and even be thoroughly remoulded. Like Zheng Manqing's boxing photos, there is a feeling of physical discomfort. Really loose, a kind of harmony without obstacles, a kind of trance.
