What can Tai Ji Chuan do best?
Master Yang Zhenduo summed up the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan from many aspects, among which the main benefits are: (1) Tai Ji Chuan has the function of health preservation, also known as health preservation. Many comrades exercised through activities in Tai Ji Chuan, and chronic diseases disappeared invisibly. This is also a medical treatment. When I went to Shanghai in the 1960s, the doctors in Shanghai suggested that Tai Ji Chuan should be the name when prescribing prescriptions for patients with chronic diseases. Because the effect of taking medicine by injection is not obvious, but the effect of practicing boxing is good. Now doctors also use this method to combine drugs with exercise. Young Tai Ji Chuan Association was founded in 1982, and it has been 23 years since then. At that time, there were only more than 200 members, and now it has grown to nearly 20 thousand people and more than 60 chapters. There are many patients with chronic diseases, such as hemiplegia, neurasthenia, bad heart, coronary heart disease and so on. Through Tai Ji Chuan's activities, her illness gradually disappeared and her physique became stronger. Some comrades not only benefit themselves, but also want others to benefit. Some patients with chronic diseases are now teachers of Tai Ji Chuan Association and the backbone of Yang Tai Ji Chuan Association. He has done a lot of work in Tai Ji Chuan and made contributions to the benefit of mankind. There are countless examples of this. Practicing Yang Tai Ji Chuan is like writing regular script with a brush. It pays attention to one stroke and one style, with clear thinking, and requires that every style is fixed. Therefore, its shelf is more upright, its posture is stretched, its connotation is strengthened, and its image is more beautiful in Wushu events. Not only China people like it, but many foreigners say it is an "oriental dance" and "treasure of oriental culture". It can strengthen the body, cultivate sentiment and treat diseases, which is unparalleled in western sports. (2) Tai Ji Chuan has the function of cultivating sentiment. Tai Ji Chuan asked for a combination of motion and static, and he should concentrate his thoughts and be in a calm state during the practice. People usually feel good through activities. If it was now confined to two-person combat, Tai Ji Chuan would not have developed into such a big adaptation. With the development of the times, it is necessary to develop from simple martial arts to multifunctional activities. More and more people are involved, suitable for all ages, regardless of gender, age, mental and physical labor, and have strong adaptability. Now many manual workers also take part in this activity, because it can play a regulatory role. General labor is local labor, and the mental system has not been adjusted. Through Tai Ji Chuan activities, both physical and mental work can achieve internal balance. "Balance" is the essence of China Tai Ji Chuan, which can dredge meridians in the body and promote blood circulation and metabolism. The most striking feature of Yang Tai's biographical style is his smooth and gentle movements and even figure. For example, patients with heart disease, the heart is very fragile, hepatitis needs fresh blood, and all exercise can promote blood circulation. But strenuous exercise is not suitable for them and can't be accepted. For example, people with heart disease can't practice long boxing in martial arts. The intensity and intensity of its movements are unacceptable to ordinary people. Tai Ji Chuan can be practiced, with slow, gentle and even movements. They can accept it. As long as you keep exercising, the effect will be obvious. "Running water does not rot, and hinges are not stupid", which means that running water will not stink, and the door shaft that rotates frequently will not be eaten by insects. This is a fact. Many comrades have symptoms of neurasthenia. The main reason is that the brain is too excited to restrain itself and often suffers from insomnia. The more I want to sleep, the more I can't sleep and the more excited I am. Medically, it is called autonomic nervous disorder and imbalance. Practicing Tai Ji Chuan can coordinate the nerves with unbalanced balance. Because Tai Ji Chuan wants to be "quiet", to concentrate, to concentrate, and to get rid of other thoughts, he just wants to practice boxing and concentrate highly. On the other hand, exercise increases physical fatigue, and gradually sleep becomes normal. If you practice before going to bed, the signal will come faster. Many comrades' neurasthenia is cured by regular activities. Practicing Tai Ji Chuan can not only cure neurasthenia, but also treat hypertension. Generally, hypertension is accompanied by heart disease and belongs to the circulatory system. Most of this disease is caused by mental factors. Because spirit and emotion are a psychological change of people, pulse, breathing, blood pressure and digestive juice will be secreted when they are in a happy mood. Metabolism and so on are in a state of balance and coordination. On the contrary, if you are in a bad mood and angry, your blood pressure will rise immediately. If you can always be cheerful and open-minded and have a stable mood, your blood pressure will be normal. This "mental factor" is difficult to obtain from drugs. But it can be obtained in boxing practice. This disease needs "peace of mind" and "quiet environment", as well as "peace of mind" and "physical relaxation" and "quiet environment" in boxing practice. The two are unified in "quietness" and carry out activities in "quietness". When the mind is concentrated and the qi sinks, the brain feels fresh. Generally speaking, it is calm and smooth, and the blood vessels are smooth and comfortable. On the contrary, when the blood is upwelling, I feel dizzy and upset, and my blood pressure changes. If qi sinks into the abdomen, qi and blood will be more comfortable, and the brain will be sober. Especially the head is straight and the neck is straight, all parts of the body stretch naturally, and the mind is always quiet. I feel relaxed and happy after practicing boxing, and my blood pressure is stable. I hope that old friends should not only practice martial arts, but also practice martial arts, that is, cultivate their minds, cultivate their sentiments and be open-minded and optimistic. Joseph Osseth, an American philosopher, famously said, "The tide of life rises because of happiness, but falls because of pain". Persistence is the key to practicing Tai Ji Chuan. Persistence is easier said than done. For example, it is well known that the intermittent exercise prescribed by the state is good, conducive to work and physical and mental health, and it is not easy to stick to it. Although it is the legal time, there are not many units that insist on it, so it flows slowly. In the current national fitness plan, all people should take part in sports and have a correct understanding of what kind of activities to choose. According to most people's families, they are not used to those exciting activities, such as football, which can touch the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of people. But only a few dozen people took part in the activity. So it's ok to watch some activities, but it's not easy to participate in them in person, so consider which sport suits you. I think Tai Ji Chuan is very good. Suitable for all ages. Simple site, simple equipment, quick effect and easy popularization. It's a little hard at first, but it can make your life sweet and your body beautiful. Even when you are old, it is beautiful. Some people say that Yang's Tai Ji Chuan is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, but it is more suitable for them to practice. But young people practice well, and not only young people but also teenagers can participate in this activity. Comrade Cheng Xiangyun, the vice principal, gives lessons to some primary school students in Xiyang Primary School in Taiyuan. I have been to Singapore, where the National Tai Ji Chuan Competition is held every two years, and young students also take part. In the future, China's national fitness program will start from primary school students to participate in Tai Ji Chuan exercise, and its advantages will range from primary school to middle school, university, even to work, until old age. Living conditions are better now. Old people in their eighties and nineties practice boxing a lot. Some projects can't be done at a certain age. For example, Wushu Changquan, some national or world Wushu champions, won the championship when their physical strength was good when they were young, but after their heyday, their physical strength was poor at a certain age, and many people were still injured, so it was difficult to practice as before. Tai Ji Chuan is plain and steady, and she is more suitable to accept when she is older. Some people say that Tai Ji Chuan is too difficult to learn. Actually, it's not difficult. No matter what we do, we should use our brains and think about it. Especially when we are old and don't have much to do, we have to use our brains. Brain training is not the same as work. Practicing the brain is relatively a kind of rest. Rest is good for neurasthenia, and the brain is relatively rested. It's good to use your head a little. Now scientists have a new saying: "Life lies in brain movement", which makes sense. When you are old, take some time to practice boxing. You can always learn to practice one or two styles today and one or two tomorrow. The action doesn't look good at first, but gradually it looks good. Practice makes perfect. Tai Ji Chuan is not only a martial art, but also a fitness regimen, which plays an important role as a medical means, but it is not absolute. Practicing boxing is not to cure all diseases and live forever. As mentioned earlier, it is effective for some chronic diseases. Its benefits can only be realized and enjoyed by long-term practitioners. Because of this, more and more people practice boxing, and many people practice boxing abroad. For example, there are more people practicing boxing in the United States and Europe, and Japan is Asia. They should learn from each other and take it seriously. I hope to practice boxing seriously and formally in the future.
