Because of its profound philosophical origin, the function of cultivating temperament and body and mind attracts millions of people to have a strong interest in practice and research. The following is what I arranged for you: Taiji philosophy and Taiji biography.

Taiji Philosophy and Tai Ji Chuan

The word "Taiji" named in The Legend of Taiji comes from the Book of Changes. "It is easy to have Tai Chi, that is, two instruments are born, two instruments are born with four elephants, and four elephants are born with gossip, which determines good or bad luck and good or bad luck." On this basis, critics often think that the philosophy of Taiji Zhuan originated from Yijing. It is true that Taiji Zhuan absorbed the dialectical view of Yin and Yang in Yijing. However, judging from the contents and characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan's theoretical works and boxing, Tai Ji Chuan actually used Taiji philosophy, which is the result of the development of philosophy for 3,000 years since the pre-Qin Dynasty and the Song and Ming Dynasties. This philosophy of Taiji originated from the Book of Changes and was developed by Chen Tuan, a Taoist health-preserving practitioner. It merged with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to form the Infinite Diagram, which was later inherited and interpreted by Zhou Dunyi, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and clarified the mystery of Neo-Confucianism. This philosophy penetrated into Wushu culture and produced Tai Ji Chuan. Therefore, the Taiji theory embodied in Taiji Zhuan is a valuable ideological achievement in China's ancient philosophy.

Taoism, which is characterized by cultivating immortals in ancient China, has been absorbing nutrition from ancient philosophy as the theory of inner alchemy since it came into being at the end of Han Dynasty. Wei Boyang's classic of alchemy in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhouyi Shentongqi, explains alchemy with the principle of the Book of Changes. Chen Tuan, a famous Taoist health care practitioner in the early Song Dynasty, inherited the early alchemy theory such as Zhouyi Shentongqi, and got works such as Zhengyi Heart Method, which was handed down by Taoist in Mayi. On this basis, he studied the theory of Yin and Yang of Taoism in Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi in the pre-Qin period, and drew a Taiji diagram, which had a great influence on later generations. This picture means: "The one outside is Tai Chi. Black and white are yin and yang. There is a little white in black, and there is yang in yin; There is black in white and yin in yang. Interaction between yin and yang, combination of dynamic and static, thorough and lively, and natural fun. " Chen Tuan took Taoism as the core and improved the traditional Yi-ology. Drawing lessons from some Buddhist meditation theories, he formed his inner alchemy theory and drew an infinite diagram to illustrate it. The main point of "The Infinite Map" is that "harmony gives birth to people, but vice versa". Through three stages: self-cultivation, gas refining, gas refining and spiritual refining, we finally reach the realm of being born into a fairy. Of course, the purpose of "cultivating immortals" in Taoist Inner Elixir can't be achieved, but the process of Taoist Inner Elixir objectively plays a great role in health care, disease elimination and longevity. By the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi, one of the founders of Neo-Confucianism, completely adopted Chen Tuan's Infinite Diagram, but added different explanations as Neo-Confucianism's cosmology. The book Influence Tai Ji Chuan written by Wang Zongyue, a famous Tai Ji Chuan theorist, not only absorbed Zhou Dunyi's thought of Taiji Graphics, but even directly adopted some languages of Taiji Graphics. Tai Ji Chuan's theory is deeply influenced by Taiji theory. Mainly manifested in three points of view.

Taiji Philosophy and Taiji Biography 1. The universe ontology (generative theory) of Wuji Taiji is regarded as the ontology of Tai Ji Chuan.

The thought of Taiji Wuji is originally a Taoist philosophy, and the "Taiji Wuji" in Taiji theory comes from the thought of Laozi and Zhuangzi. The origin of Taiji Chuan is also "the promise". There have been many different explanations and debates on how to understand this philosophical concept of infinity, or idealism or materialism since the Song and Ming Dynasties. Let's stop here. However, judging from the Wuji Map and Taiji Map, the ancients all used hollow circles to represent "infinity", indicating the boundless universe where heaven and earth were not opened and yin and yang were not separated. Reflected in the biography of Tai Chi, that is, when the boxing situation has not yet begun, you hold the yuan and keep one, and have no change of yin and yang. At the same time, it also shows the basic characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan potential circle. The arc of Tai Chi transmission comes from the circle, constantly drawing the circle, the change of the big circle and the small circle, and the continuation of the circle and arc, all of which are the image embodiment of infinity. This "promise" requires Tai Ji Chuan practitioners to have an incomparably broad mind, purity and no distractions, broad consciousness, tranquility and emptiness. This is the similarity between Taiji Chuan and Taoism, and between Taiji Chuan and Buddhism, which is also the source of spiritual cultivation. The concept of Taiji Infinity is the fundamental concept of Tai Ji Chuan. Only by grasping this point can we grasp the essence of Tai Ji Chuan.

The concept of Yin-Yang change in Taiji philosophy, Taiji Zhuan and Taiji Zhuan is influenced by Taoist philosophy, and directly comes from Taiji Illustrated.

Tai Ji Chuan's movement, rigidity, advance and retreat, opening and closing are all manifestations of yin and yang changes; In particular, the combination of rigidity and softness in Tai Chi transmission, such as cotton wrapped in iron, moving silently and combining yin and yang, can also be explained by the interaction of yin and yang and the intersection of five elements in Zhou Dunyi's Tai Chi map. The five elements theory in Taoist Neidan holds that the most important thing is fire and water, the heart belongs to fire and the kidney belongs to water. Internal training needs a combination of fire and water, and the key is to nourish the heart and kidney. Zhou's Tai Chi Diagram says "five elements and one yin and yang". The five elements belong to yin and yang, especially water belongs to yin, fire belongs to yang, and Shui Rou fire is just right. Therefore, Taijiquan combines rigidity with softness, which is completely connected with the heart and kidney of Taoist Neidan. Therefore, when Tai Ji Chuan is used for keeping in good health, it can cure diseases and prolong life, and when it is used for fighting, it combines rigidity with softness to force the enemy.

Taiji philosophy and the "unity of form and spirit" embodied in the theories of Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Ji Chuan are also related to Taiji diagram.

As the spirit of all things, man is a combination of "shape" and "god". The relationship between form and spirit is an important issue in the study of ancient philosophy for more than two thousand years since the pre-Qin period, and the view of "the unity of form and spirit" has been produced as early as ancient times. Huangdi Neijing has recognized people's health from the perspective of unity of form and spirit: "In ancient times, people ... ate moderately, lived regularly, and did not do reckless things, so they could live in harmony with God for the rest of their lives and died at the age of 100." Persuade people to realize the martial arts with human flesh and blood as the object in martial arts, but they must put human spirit (heart, mind, etc. ) in an important position. Only in this way can we achieve the success and perfection of Wushu. Emphasizing the function of mind is also a prominent feature of Tai Ji Chuan's theory, which is influenced by the ancient traditional concept of unity of form and spirit, such as Neijing, and is also closely related to Taiji theory. Zhou Dunyi's "Tai Chi Map" wrote, "Form and life, God knows, five permanent movements, good and evil are divided, and everything is destroyed." "The self-note in Taiji Illustration points out:" One needs Yin Qi to form his body, and Yang Qi to give birth to his spirit. "People think that form and spirit are inseparable, and spiritual consciousness plays an important role. When discussing the three elements of Tai Chi: mind, qi and body, Wang Zongyue said, "With heart qi, with static energy, bones are gathered. It is convenient to bring gas carriers to make them smooth. " "First in the heart, then in the body." "Although the body is moving, the heart is still, the gas should be gathered, and God should be comfortable. Heart is the command, Qi is the flag, God is the coach and he is the driver. "These essentials and formulas think that the role of heart and meaning is in the first place. Yang Chengfu's Ten Essentials of Taiji expounds the principle of "meaning is not hard", pointing out that "meaning means how to get qi ... and then gain inner strength". Emphasizing the role of spiritual ideas is not only true in Tai Ji Chuan, but also in the whole martial arts. This is because ancient martial arts culture and health preservation culture are closely related. Taoist Neidan and physician Daoqi both emphasize the functions of "observing the mind", "observing the mind" and "observing the mind", while the internal strength of Wushu is the same as that of Neidan and Daoqi, with many similarities in theory, which is essentially the different applications of the same culture in different fields in ancient China. Taiji theory became the theoretical basis of Tai Ji Chuan, which is a typical example.
