When practicing boxing, the mind is required to experience "empty collar and top strength" and "qi sinking into the abdomen" "Empty collar jacking strength" is air rising, while "air sinking in the abdomen" is air sinking, which obviously embodies "balance". If the practitioner achieves these two points, the spine of the practitioner will be elongated;
On this basis, rotating and folding will strengthen the functions of muscles, ligaments, tendons and other tissues around the spine over time, and naturally prevent cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis. In addition, Tai Ji Chuan's every movement embodies the "balance", which requires echoing up and down, distinguishing between reality and reality, giving consideration to both, and developing in an all-round way.
2, adjust the function of the respiratory system
Because when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, after being exposed to outdoor cold air and sunshine and being tempered by severe cold, the body's immune function is enhanced, its ability to adapt to the external environment is strong, its metabolism ability is enhanced, and its body temperature regulation function is correspondingly enhanced, so the incidence of colds is obviously reduced.
Regular practice of Tai Ji Chuan can improve lung respiratory function, make respiratory muscle fibers such as intercostal muscle thicker, make muscles stronger, improve lung profile activity, reduce ossification rate of costal cartilage, and increase vital capacity, so that the lungs can exchange gas better. Taiji Chuan emphasizes that the essence of abdominal conversion is the combination of abdominal breathing and lung breathing.
The physiological significance of abdominal breathing is that the diaphragm moves up and down to a great extent, which can massage the organs in the chest and abdomen, such as lung, heart, spleen, liver, kidney, stomach, small intestine and large intestine, and make these organs circulate vigorously and have active vitality. In addition, the rise and fall of abdominal pressure caused by abdominal breathing is of great benefit to blood circulation, so that the body and internal organs can obtain more adequate blood nutrition.
3, adjust the function of the circulatory system
Therefore, it can relax the nervous system, improve the regulatory function of the central nervous system, regulate endocrine imbalance and autonomic nervous function imbalance, reduce the tension of sympathetic nerve, relax spasmodic small blood vessels, not only strengthen blood circulation, but also reduce peripheral resistance, thus naturally lowering blood pressure.
Tai Ji Chuan doesn't do much exercise, and the muscles undergo aerobic metabolism, so there is no problem of oxygen debt, which will not aggravate myocardial hypoxia. Long-term practice of Tai Ji Chuan can make the myocardial fibers strong, reduce the number of heartbeats, increase the cardiac output per stroke and increase the myocardial reserve.
Only about 20% of the capillaries in a person are usually open, but long-term practice of Tai Ji Chuan can promote the opening of capillaries and increase the blood flow of coronary arteries in a reflective way. Tai Ji Chuan can also accelerate venous blood flow through contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle, and change abdominal pressure through diaphragm activity, so that blood can flow to the heart through the inferior cavity as soon as possible, and at the same time, it can reduce congestion and edema of liver, stomach and intestine.
4. Adjust the function of the motion system
The effect of practicing Tai Ji Chuan on bones and muscles is that Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of motionless exercise, which requires coherence, fluency and coordination. So muscles and joints in all parts of the body can be exercised. Tai Ji Chuan belongs to aerobic exercise, and the amount of exercise can be adjusted by posture, which can meet the needs of all kinds of people.
By practicing Tai Ji Chuan's thigh muscle thickening, the stretching and contraction of the muscle group itself plays an auxiliary role in pumping heart blood, just like adding several small pumps to the lower limbs. Therefore, practicing Tai Ji Chuan can greatly promote the sports system. Playing Tai Ji Chuan requires an upright posture. From Baihui point to Yin Hui point, the whole spine should be upright as far as possible, and the intention should be emphasized to make it long and picturesque. mountain range
The column and its two sides are the Du Meridian and Yang Meridian of traditional Chinese medicine, and the central nervous system of western medicine extends to all parts of the body through both sides of the spine. Nowadays, many people suffer from lumbar disc herniation and hyperosteogeny of cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, which are generally caused by standing upright, sitting up straight and bending over. However, people who often practice Tai Ji Chuan generally have strong lumbar vertebrae, and the spine is generally not a problem.
Because of frequent exhaustion and qi stagnation, the whole spine will have a good adjustment effect on the traction length and the whole movement system.
5. Tai Ji Chuan can promote physical and mental health. Tai Ji Chuan emphasized relaxing nature, guiding actions with consciousness, and required "heart moving with you", "internal and external integration" and "physical and mental cultivation" to make people enter a carefree and carefree state. Make people eliminate psychological fatigue, cheerful and optimistic.
Tai Ji Chuan requires attention, unity of form and spirit, even and slow movements, like running water, continuous, seeking quietness in movement, seeking movement in quietness, combining reality with reality, combining rigidity with softness, and full of philosophy everywhere.
Therefore, regular practice can turn impatient, irritable, anxious, suspicious and stingy people into stable, open-minded, calm, easy-going and optimistic people. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan is not only a boxing method to strengthen the body, but also has a rich and profound Taiji spirit, which can not only improve people's self-cultivation, but also improve their personality and cultivate their sentiments.
