Tai Ji Chuan, a national intangible cultural heritage, is based on the core ideas of Tai Chi and Dialectics of Yin and Yang in China's traditional Confucianism and Taoism, and integrates many functions such as temperament, physical fitness and fighting. The following is my carefully prepared Tai Chi and life sentiment. You can refer to the following!
Page 1: Tai Chi Chuan's philosophy of life has been fond of Tai Chi Chuan for many years, but it has been a pity that there is no teacher to guide him. I have benefited a lot from attending the study class in the past six months. The deeper you go, the more you can feel the broad spirit of Tai Ji Chuan. However, compared with the traditional culture of our nation, Tai Ji Chuan is just a drop in the ocean. Traditional culture is like a sea, and Taiji Chuan is just a grain of water. How can one not have a sense of national pride and a sense of mission to link the past with the future? In my study, I found that Tai Ji Chuan is not only an excellent fitness method, but also a better method of nourishing the heart. Not to mention these, Tai Ji Chuan also contains a profound philosophy of life.
First, relax and be natural and harmonious.
Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "moving without moving" and keeps pace with the whole body. This means that when a part of the body moves, the whole body moves with it. There can't be a rigid place. How can we achieve this harmony? By softness. Relaxation is Tai Ji Chuan's most important achievement. At first, the teacher asked the whole body to relax, and the whole boxing process should be completely relaxed, and no force is allowed. The teacher said that Tai Ji Chuan was different from Waijiaquan. Waijia Boxing exercises strength, but Tai Chi should be relaxed first. I don't want to lose my stiff strength, but my weak strength. Only when clumsy power is purified can real power be born. It seems unreasonable. But I have carefully realized that this is exactly the same as the way we deal with people. Persistence and greed are like rigidity in us. The more persistent we are, the farther away we are from what we pursue. On the contrary, if you let go, you will get what you want. For example, the persistent pursuit of a lot of wealth, by hook or by crook, must be empty in the end. On the contrary, don't be greedy and give alms. Must be rewarded with wealth. For another example, there are some leaders everywhere who want to control others, treat others and use others to achieve their goals. In the end, they must alienate Germany and betray others. On the contrary, if you can put yourself down everywhere and achieve others, you will be respected and supported by everyone. Many times you will find that the road is just across the street. This is not difficult to understand, first relax and then strength.
Moreover, our bodies are a whole. As long as each part is not rigid, it reaches the ideal state of moving without moving. So we are a group, aren't we? If everyone doesn't stick to themselves. Such a small social unit is a harmonious whole. We are all part of this whole, moving without moving, losing without losing.
Second, the tail is in the middle and the drawing is long.
No matter what you do, Taiji Chuan requires the tail to be in the middle, and the tail is the coccyx. To require the tail to be upright is actually to require the whole body to be upright, unbiased and oblique, and the center of gravity to be stable. If you miss, you will be led by your opponent and lose your balance. This is related to the length of drawing. The so-called anti-stretching means that there must be an anti-stretching force when doing the action, that is, the opposite force to contain it. Keep your balance without losing your center of gravity. For example, when punching or slapping, the fist punches forward and the shoulder is pulled back, as if to lengthen the arm. Sometimes the arms and legs are pulled, and the front legs and rear legs are pulled. This is actually the principle of yin-yang balance. Boxing is like life, and I think there is a lot of wisdom in it. For example, if you don't obey the rules, you will feel at ease. Extreme dependence, evil is born secretly, and will eventually fail. Treating colleagues equally is more fair and just to students. We have biased thoughts in our hearts, which is equivalent to losing our focus. How can we be invincible? Leave room for everything, and don't try your best. Be kind to people around you, be principled and don't go too far! In the face of people with different or even opposing views, we must have principles, and we must not break our hands or use too much force. If you don't choose to break your hand, it means that your figure is not straight, and you use too much force, which means that there is no tension. They all fell.
Ashamed, boxing is a beginner, the theory is still unknown, and the language is not beautiful. We will wait and see.
Chapter 2: Feeling Tai Chi "Life lies in exercise".
Life lies in stillness.
Behind the right and wrong of the two diametrically opposed arguments, there seems to be no philosophical meaning that is difficult to explain. But for a while, I really puzzled many people, including myself, about the quality of life. Today, there are still some people who insist on the former based on their own personal experience, and some people use such an interesting saying to prove that the latter is an irrefutable fact, that is, this "classic saying"-"A thousand-year-old turtle is a thousand-year-old turtle".
In fact, anyone with a little common sense and judgment knows that absolute exercise and absolute stillness are harmful to life. Only when a certain amount of "movement" and a certain degree of "quietness" are properly and harmoniously unified in different individuals with different adaptability can material life be full of vitality. Annotation and reflection are so simple, there is absolutely no need to quote the brilliant research results of modern medicine. Avenue to Jane. The ancestors of the Chinese nation who lived in ancient times have long explained their understanding of the law of the existence of all things in the world on that beautiful "Taiji Map"! Here we can find the answers we want.
Taiji is an ancient philosophical term in China, which means to deduce the origin of everything. Taiji diagram vividly expresses its philosophical thought, and the rotation of Yin and Yang, on the contrary, is the root of the emergence and change of everything.
Tai Chi map is a perfect circle outside and a black-and-white comma-like part inside, which is called "Yin-Yang fish". Black and white, representing Yin and Yang, heaven and earth, are called Yin and Yang. Black dots on a white background indicate that there is yin in yang, and white dots on a black background indicate that there is yang in yin. Because left, up, up, floating and white are positive, the chess pieces with white and upward floating on the left represent "Yang"; On the right, a black downward depression represents "Yin"; An inverted "S" shape is formed in the middle, and the dividing line between black and white is the body part that divides the yin and yang of heaven and earth. This is Artest's Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram (Yin-Yang fish in Tai Chi diagram correct each other). corporate vision
Taiji diagram is an important image to study the principle of Zhouyi. Extreme meaning, extreme meaning, that is, as for the limit, it doesn't make any sense. It includes not only extreme principles, but also time and space restrictions from big to small. If you let it go, you will be six in one, and the volume will be hidden in your heart. It can be greater than any quantity but not beyond the circumference and space, or less than any quantity and not equal to zero or zero. These are the meanings of Tai Chi.
Taoist taiji diagram and Gan Kun are isomorphic: the so-called Tao gives birth to one, two, two, three and three things; That is, infinity gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and Yin and Yang combine to give birth to everything. The universe is infinite, so it is called Tai Chi, but the universe is tangible, that is, it has substantial content. According to the viewpoint of Yi-ology, tangible things come from the intangible, so they are infinite, which is Tai Chi. Taiji is a dynamic entity, that is, the universe is in motion. When it moves to a certain extent, it will be relatively static, and when it is static, it is yin. Therefore, when it is moving and stationary, the qi of Yin and Yang is the root of each other and runs in infinity.
Everything lives according to this law! Touching signature
It's funny to say. When I was young, I didn't know the world. Once in a remote village, I saw a pattern of yin and yang fish with strong black and white contrast. I don't understand what this is, but I feel completely shocked. With the growth of my age, I gradually realized the world, and gradually understood that the pattern of Yin-Yang fish was not taken for granted, and its origin was magical. I came into contact with Tai Ji Chuan by chance in recent years, and I fell in love with him, paying attention to Tai Chi and Tai Chi map. Since then, my understanding of the world has opened a broader perspective. Just like the big bang of the singularity of the universe, Xinyu's vision has been "redshifted", expanded and infinitely extended. ...
My mother-in-law with extraordinary nature and tireless practice gave me a set of "cloak" boxing clothes and led me to join the team of practitioners in Tai Ji Chuan. My mother-in-law is over 70 years old. Although she practiced boxing late, she learned boxing, knives and swords from Sun, Yang, Chen and Wu from Tai Ji Chuan fans in Yangquan. Her spirit of practicing boxing and chanting, her perseverance of studying hard, make our younger generation feel ashamed.
Tai Ji Chuan is rich in connotation and profound. It is a wise invention of ancient ancestors and a treasure of China traditional culture!
The connotation of Taiji Biography is precisely the principle of understanding the universe, establishing the sky and cultivating people, which is similar to the so-called "the movement of six hexagrams and the way of three poles". The Biography of Taiji dynamically demonstrates seven meanings of Taiji diagram: structure, rules, rotation, balance, harmony, change and direction.
Tai Ji Chuan's fists are interlocking, round, yin and yang are combined, the reality is clear, and both rigidity and softness are combined. Tai Ji Chuan emphasized that the body should be transported with the heart, the limbs should be loose, the whole body should be coordinated, the movements should be light, the inside and outside should be reconciled, and the energy should be unobstructed. Its beauty also lies in "taking off physical strength and giving birth to divine power, not because of weakness;" Removing turbidity and changing qi are not without qi. The Art of Taiji Biography can embody the impartial mean of Confucianism, the true practice of Buddhism, and the wonderful way of natural inaction of Taoism. It is "the fist of unity of opposites, the fist of mutual deterioration, the fist of negation of negation, and the three pillars of philosophy".
The ancients created Tai Ji Chuan for fitness and practical purposes. As the saying goes, "No martial arts, no boxing", the essence of Tai Ji Chuan is attack and defense, and the role of martial arts in self-defense is the first. Tai Ji Chuan is good for health because Tai Ji Chuan conforms to the laws of human physiological movement and human skeleton folding. Under the principle of flexibility, Tai Ji Chuan takes circular movements as the action basis, which is also a good kung fu for practicing body and regulating qi. In a word, Tai Ji Chuan is different from other sports. It stretches slowly and relaxes the muscles of the whole body. Through slow, slender and even abdominal breathing, through the coordination of thinking, breathing and movement, the nervous system and circulatory system can be improved, heart disease can be prevented, people's balance ability can be improved, and osteoporosis can be prevented, which is beneficial to lumbar vertebrae. In addition, Tai Ji Chuan's posture requirements, such as hanging himself, sinking his shoulders and hanging his elbows, pulling out his back with his chest, pulling in his abdomen and opening his hips, etc., enable practitioners to fully exercise their whole body muscles, keep a good figure and have a bodybuilding effect.
The most common significance of practicing Tai Ji Chuan is that it can make people experience the process of internal work accumulation under the condition of relaxing and suitable exercise, thus enhancing the whole body constitution; It can also make people realize the law of movement and change of things and understand the simple philosophical truth in the process of exercise, which is a process of gathering positive energy from both material and spiritual aspects. Of course, a higher-level' practitioner' can gain a deeper level of martial arts in the refreshing and pleasing Tai Ji Chuan action, and complete the aesthetic expression and philosophical understanding at the spiritual and spiritual levels.
Teacher Mei is an authentic descendant of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan founded by a generation of martial arts masters, Yang Luchan and Sun Chengfu, and studied under Mr. Zhao Jifu. Teacher Mei's hands, eyes, body, movements and steps are very orderly and quite regular, which perfectly explains the characteristics of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan's quietness, stability and uprightness. His posture is static and dynamic, static and dynamic, steady and deliberate, carefree; Its boxing is continuous, continuous, non-stagnant, and in one go. Seeing Miss Mei's stretching posture and deep internal strength in boxing, you will naturally sigh that it is extremely important to practice boxing to this extent! Her boxing is as exquisite as writing regular script and drawing meticulous painting, and it is a model for practitioners to learn. Every time Mr. Mei teaches a move, he should seriously study the boxing method, the theory of frame, strength and intention, demonstrate the significance of attack and defense in detail, and take pains to explain the matters needing attention in practice to ensure that every beginner has an impartial grasp of kung fu. Listening to her talk about Tai Chi, everyone can get the fastest and most accurate progress and understanding, and I always benefit a lot!
Teacher Sun is my first coach. Although he is over 60 years old and his hair is gray, he is full of youthful appearance, vigorous spirit and vigorous old age because he keeps practicing boxing every day. His lectures are full of jokes and fun, and he is especially good at combining Tai Ji Chuan's profound wisdom and fun with his practice and understanding, practice process and even life care. When I first heard these rare words, my head was swollen, let alone my upper body. However, under the vivid teaching of Teacher Sun, dozens of practitioners can experience it easily, without fear of hardship or annoyance. Old men and women soon got benefits, enjoyed it, and became more energetic and younger! My affection for Tai Chi Kung Fu began with his class.
Master Yang, though called Master, is not an old man. He and I are real colleagues. He interprets Chen's mixed heart Tai Chi, like Ozawa dragons and snakes galloping in rivers and lakes, and like mountains and rivers hanging down thousands of feet; Quiet is like a mountain, and urgent is like lightning. The wind becomes immortal, mixed with yuan, and natural charm. Not a bit stiff! He often requires practitioners to have a very broad mind and broad consciousness, so that "Tai Chi is everywhere". Appreciating his boxing is like seeing a dynamic "Taiji Diagram", which shows the fundamental laws of Tai Ji Chuan's movement, development, change and unity of opposites to the fullest. If Mei's Tai Chi biography is written in regular script and meticulous painting, then Yang is crazy about writing, free and easy, free and easy, and harmony between man and nature.
Brother Yi Tai also practices Tai Chi. At first, I was a little surprised. When did Han learn it, and how was his kung fu? Until one day I saw his casual gesture, I couldn't help but give him a high five. Yi Yi's brother's identity is a bit special. Although he is not an expert in this field, he was orally taught by Master Yang Zhenduo. His boxing frame has the personality of a great master, standing upright, stretching moderately, soft and lively, light and calm. If you work hard for a long time, you must be a direct descendant who deeply understands the artistic conception of Taiji. Yi Taige's boxing routine is different from mine, but I call him Yi Taige because of his reclusive bearing and persistence in Tai Chi. One day, I saw that he could still stretch his fist in a cramped place. Although I was impressed by his determination, I felt different from myself. He said with a smile, if I practice boxing, I will be on cloud nine, wearing a boxing suit and occupying a square area of 100 meters. He smiled and asked, "Are there similarities and differences between doing work and dancing?" His philosophical wisdom is very infectious.
Brother Yi Yi is right. Boxing is really different from other sports.
There are many people who practice Tai Ji Chuan in China, but few people really practice Taiji Wushu, which is "controlled by internal strength, unpredictable in form and spirit, unknown and self-evident". "The change of body, shape and meaning is a small fish for Taiji Chuan. Thinking and artistic conception are the claws of Taiji Chuan. The change and improvement of body, shape and mind can be achieved through Tai Ji Chuan's practice, while the improvement of thinking and artistic conception can only be achieved through years of accumulation of philosophy and art. ".
However, in my opinion, boxing is not about realm. I practice, so I am!
In the process of reaching the highest level of Taijiquan, kung fu skills can be described as endless practice for life. The vast majority of ordinary people have the simple feelings of "although they can't come, they yearn for it". Even though Tai Ji Chuan was trained as "Tai Chi Gymnastics" in the lowest physical exercise, it played a positive role in inheriting the traditional cultural treasures of the Chinese nation. Especially when mankind is in an era of increasingly prosperous scientific and technological development, extremely rich material life and rapid changes in life behavior, the spiritual world has been hit and impacted unprecedentedly, and it is necessary for Chinese excellent traditional culture to wash away spiritual pollution, repair the cultural desert, enhance spiritual morality and rebuild the oasis of life!
Practicing Tai Ji Chuan has the power of happiness and understanding.
Choose a quiet and transparent place with beautiful scenery, see the clouds, smell the flowers and birds, relax your limbs, separate the turbid air, and feel relaxed and happy. What kind of life realm is it? As the ancient poet Mr. Wu Liutao said:
Building a house is human, and there are no horses and chariots.
What can you do? The heart is far from being self-centered.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.
The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back.
That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say.
