Brief introduction of Zhang Sanfeng Tai Ji Chuan

Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts is well-known in the Wulin. Zhang Sanfeng not only invented Tai Ji Chuan to prolong life, but also summed up a set of boxing methods that are quite beneficial to modern people.

Zhang Sanfeng was a famous Taoist in Wudang Mountain in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. According to historical records, Zhang Sanfeng's real name is Zhang, Zi and Sanfeng. People from Yizhou, Liaodong. Tall posture, turtle-shaped crane bone, big ears, round eyes and long beard like a halberd. In cold and hot weather, the only thing that disappears, either in poor mountainous areas or downtown areas ... The scriptures are not forgotten, and all words and deeds are based on virtue, benevolence, loyalty and filial piety.

Therefore, heart and divine power, God and Tao are one, and everything is prescient. Or a meal on the third or fifth day, or a meal in February or March; When you are happy, you walk over rocks. When you are tired, you lie in the clouds and snow. You are impermanent. "People are different, and salt thinks that people are between gods."

Wudang Taoist alchemy has a long history and pays attention to the cultivation of inner alchemy. Inner Dan is to breathe and inhale, and to practice qi into Dan medicine, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

Zhang Sanfeng has great attainments in Inner alchemy. In Song of the Avenue, he said, "Don't make an alchemist, first refine your nature, don't cultivate great doctors, first cultivate your mind, and your mind will be convinced, and your temperament will be born."

It vividly describes the formation process of Inner Dan from refining essence, returning gold liquid to Dan, collecting medicine and sealing Dan. Zhang Sanfeng's works on Inner alchemy published in the Ming Dynasty include Essence of Then, Song of Then Returning to Dan, Twenty-four Directives of Rootless Tree, Song of Immortality of the Earth, etc. Later generations compiled The Complete Works of Mr. Zhang Sanfeng, which consists of eight volumes.

Zhang Sanfeng not only has high attainments in Neidan, but also has high martial arts, and is good at Tatsu Yamashiro. He combined, created and evolved the inner alchemy of Taoism, the guidance of health care practitioners, the boxing of martial artists and the art of war of military strategists according to the theories of Taoism, such as "Taoism is natural" and "observing softness and beauty".

He has made great contributions to the creation of Wudang Neijia Boxing, which takes Inner Dan as the body, technical attack as the purpose, health preservation as the first priority, self-defense as the most important, combining rigidity with softness, static braking, exertion as the top and attack as the bottom, and has a unique martial arts and sports system and form. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wulin often called Zhang Sanfeng the founder of Wudang Neijia Boxing and Tai Ji Chuan.

Wudang Wushu has become an important school of China Wulin through the inheritance and development of past masters, and gradually spread among the people, with far-reaching influence.

Zhang Sanfeng entered Wudang Mountain in the early Ming Dynasty, worshipped Emperor Zhenwu of Xuan Di at Tianzhu Peak, and set up a thatched cottage in the north of Zhanqi Peak to offer incense to Xuan Di, and set up a thatched cottage in the Loess City, named "Huixian Pavilion". He once said to the old man in the mountains, "My future in the mountains is very different from today."

Later, Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty overhauled Wudang Mountain, making it the first of the five mountains, and called it "Da Yue".

In the twenty-second year of Ming Hongwu, Zhang Sanfeng left Wudang Mountain and disappeared. At that time, Bai Zhu, king of Hunan Province, visited Wudang Mountain, but did not find Zhang Sanfeng. He wrote a poem praising Zhang Zhenxian, which said, "Zhang loves the immortal. Drink the clean stream of Jiudu in the morning and the purple smoke of Sunanyan in the evening. We have known each other for several years, so we don't follow the scenery.

I'm so sad that I can't find the empty mountain! In the lonely pine forest, only the old people are sleeping. "

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, sent envoys from Sanshan Gaolu to clean up Taoism. Because Zhang Sanfeng's reputation spread far and wide, he specifically told the envoy: "If there is one, please come." But I never found Zhang Sanfeng.

Judy, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, joined the Great Unity and wanted to invite Zhang Sanfeng, a "true fairy" who had great influence among the people, to visit for many times. There is also Zhang Sanfeng's Imperial Book: "The emperor worships Mr. Zhang Sanfeng, and the book is really immortal. I've heard a lot about Zhen Xian, and I'm eager to learn from him. Taste the envoys send incense and books, and ask all over the world. The true fairy is noble in morality, transcending all things and mysterious. I am a simple person, but I sincerely want to see you in the evening. I want to ask Xiang Fengshu for a special envoy. I want to pay tribute to the book with the power of fists and fists. I will ride on the phoenix for a while and come later. The tenth day of February in the tenth year of Yongle. " This shows his eagerness and admiration for Zhang Sanfeng.

After searching for a long time, Judy, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, went to Wudang Mountain to build a "Yingzhen Palace" for Zhang Sanfeng, carved a bronze statue for people to worship, and sent officials to sweep it. Emperor Tai Shang built a temple for a Wudang Taoist, which is unique in the history of Taoism in China.

Master Zhang Sanfeng.

Before Zhang Sanfeng, there were Taiji Shengong and Taiji Secret Law written by Ge Hongchuang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is the "Taiji Biography, Xiao Jiu Prototype" created by Han in the Southern and Northern Dynasties; There is Xu Xuanping's "Lan Seventeen Style Taiji Biography" on the secluded road in the Tang Dynasty; Li Daozi created "Yu Tai Chi Kung Fu".

There is the "innate boxing" created by Yu Lianzhou in the Ming Dynasty; There are "sticky boxing", "fishing boxing" and "mianquan" among the people. Zhang Sanfeng refined and sublimated the above boxing methods, integrated Taoist philosophy into Tai Ji Chuan's techniques, and created a set of Wudang Neijia Boxing, which combined theory and practice represented by "Thirteen Tendencies of Taiji".

It, together with Shaolin Boxing, is called the two wonders of China Wushu, which makes Tai Ji Chuan famous in the Jianghu and spread all over the world, forming a situation in the history of Wushu that "Wudang is respected in the south and Shaolin is worshipped in the north". From this point of view, in the history of Tai Ji Chuan, Zhang Sanfeng played an important role. These historical materials can be found in the context of Tai Ji Chuan's inheritance, which is the origin and clue of Zhang Sanfeng's original creation of Tai Ji Chuan.

Zhang Sanfeng and Tai Ji Chuan Theory

Zhang Sanfeng's Life and the Creation of Boxing School.

There are different legends about Zhang Sanfeng. According to the Biography of Zhang Sanfeng in Ming Dynasty, he was born in Yizhou, Liaodong, now Yixian, Liaoning. His name is Quan Yi, his name is Junbao, his name is Sanfeng and his name is Zi Xuan. My ancestral home is Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi. He is "tall and powerful, with a turtle-shaped crane back, big ears and round eyes, and he must be like a halberd."

Usually unkempt, the only thing that withers in hot and cold weather is called "sloppy". His whereabouts are erratic, his behavior is weird, his books are unforgettable, he is good at playing, and he is harmonious. I have been to Wudang Mountain many times, where I "built a straw house to live" and practiced alchemy and boxing. Later, he went to Qingcheng and heming in Sichuan to seek the truth.

Zhang Sanfeng wrote many works in his life, among which the most credible works handed down from generation to generation are On the Avenue, Talking about Mystery, and Mystery Brief. Zhang Sanfeng and his disciples practiced monasticism in Wudang Mountain, and Ming Taizu Cheng Zu built his martial arts as an official for him, so his alchemy was handed down from generation to generation, and he was called "Wudang Taoist School".

It has five characteristics.

1. Worship "Zhenwu Emperor" and regard Zhenwu Emperor as its founder.

Zhenwu Emperor is the God of the Seven Nights in the North, whose image is tortoise and snake, and he is a great northern god believed by Taoism. Wudang Mountain has been the Dojo where Taoism worships the God of Zhenwu since ancient times.

2. Take the "Taiji" theory as the fundamental theory.

Zhang Sanfeng's thought of Dan Dao originated from Chen Tuan School and was based on the theory of "Infinite Taiji". In the article "On the Avenue", he systematically expounded the idea that Tai Chi can be divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang can be used in reverse, so that people can be born if they go with it and become immortal if they go against it. He believes that heaven and earth are full of Tai Chi, and the human body is also the spirit of Artest. If you know Tai Chi in heaven and earth and Tai Chi in human body, you can practice boxing and alchemy to prove Daoguo.

3. The cultivation process of double cultivation before inner alchemy.

Zhang Sanfeng's Dan method belongs to the double cultivation system of Inner Dan, represented by Xuan Ji's blood, mysterious pills and rootless trees. Its refining method is called "immortal grafting method", which adopts double-repair "external medicine" and clear-repair "internal medicine" External medicine is produced in the caves of nature, and internal medicine is produced in Guanyuan's own air bag. Internal medicine is refined and external medicine is smoked. Internal medicine is sexual, external medicine is life-saving, and life is double-cultivation, which is in line with the way of becoming immortal. After the mid-Jiaodai period, Wudang Taoism was merged into Quanzhen Longmen Sect, and the double cultivation method was lost because it did not conform to the purpose of Quanzhen Beizong Sect. Since then, cleaning has replaced double repair.

4. Create "Wudang Neijia Boxing" and form a Taoist martial arts school.

There are many people who practice martial arts in Taoism, such as Taoist Wang Zhongyang and Bai Yuchan Ren Xia, who is good at martial arts. However, it was not until the rise of Wudang Taoism that the Taoist martial arts school was formed. Wudang Neijia Boxing is one of the stunts in the history of Taoism, and its first achievement is to popularize Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest in Wudang in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhang Sanfeng's understanding was suddenly aroused when he saw a fight between a magpie and a snake, so he made it a biography of Tai Chi. In Qing Dynasty, Huang Baijia's Neijia Boxing Law, Wang Zhengnan's epitaph, and the Annals of Ningbo-Biography of Zhang Songxi all think that Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of Wudang Neijia Boxing.

5. Taking Tao Te Ching as the theoretical basis of planing boxing.

Zhang Sanfeng absorbed the philosophical thoughts of Taoism and Confucianism, and absorbed the knowledge of traditional medicine and art of war with Taoism as its main task. He used Taiji Theory, Yang Gang Theory, Five Elements Theory and Eight Diagrams Theory to highly summarize the boxing theory, boxing skills, strategy and tactics of Wudang Neijia Boxing, and formed a unique Wudang Neijia Boxing concept. ?
