Although their routines, postures and qigong are different, their movements are soft, slow, coherent and round, and their effects of dredging meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, nourishing viscera and strengthening muscles and bones are the same.
One of China's boxing methods was called "Long Boxing", "Mianquan", "Thirteen Potential" and "Soft Hand" in the early days. It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1736 ~ 1796) that Wang Zongyue, a Shanxi martial artist, wrote an article on The Legend of Taiji, which made it named. The word "Tai Chi" comes from the Book of Changes, which contains supreme, extreme, absolute and unique meanings.
Between heaven and earth, above heaven and earth, all things and opportunities are constantly changing. Trees, flowers and mountain terraces all seem to be static and are gradually aging. As the saying goes, only "change" is constant. Tai Ji Chuan is putting all kinds of changes in boxing practice. Dynamic and static opening and closing, combining rigidity with softness, up and down, left and right, winding up and down, flickering, virtual and real, endless, all over the body, motionless, full of momentum, disappearing, with strength, melting into the whole body, breaking hard, and then gently starting, writing freely. One thought, one thought, one line and one person's free will are all under self-control, achieving the effect of health preservation and self-defense. This is Tai Ji Chuan.
origin
There are different opinions about the origin of Tai Ji Chuan, including Xu Xuanping in Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18 ~ 907), Zhang Sanfeng in Song Dynasty (AD 960 ~ 1278), Zhang Sanfeng in Ming Dynasty (AD 1368 ~ 1644) and Zhang Sanfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD 6544). The founder of Chen Tai Ji Chuan is Chen Wangting, who is an original martial artist.
source
The source of Tai Ji Chuan has the following three aspects:
(1) Fully absorbed the famous boxing of the Ming Dynasty. Wushu was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, and many famous artists, monographs and new boxing styles appeared. Taiji Chuan learned the advantages of various boxing methods at that time, especially Qi Jiguang's 32-potential long fist.
(2) breathe in combination with ancient guidance. Tai Ji Chuan is known as one of the "family-handed boxing methods" because he pays attention to guiding the spirit into the abdomen, relaxing the mind and strengthening the body.
③ China's ancient theory of Yin and Yang and the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine were applied. "Chen Shi Taiji Zhuan" requires spiral winding of meridians, purposefully activating qi, connecting Ren and Du meridians, and practicing chong pulse. Various traditional Tai Ji Chuan also used the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements to summarize and explain various contradictions and changes in boxing.
basic approach
Tai Ji Chuan takes "giving up, hitting, squeezing, pressing, bending, leaning, advancing, retreating, supporting, looking and deciding" as the basic method. The movements are slow and comfortable. When practicing boxing, the waist is required to be straight, the jaw is closed, the back is straight and drooping, which has the artistic conception of floating clouds. In the Qing Dynasty, the Boxer Rebellion called "Boxing is like the sea, endless". At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan also attaches great importance to practicing. The so-called "Qi" is to cultivate the human body's own spirit, which is also one of the characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan's Neijia Kung Fu.

Essentials of practicing boxing
(1) Meditation, breathing naturally, that is, practicing boxing requires quiet and concentrated thinking, concentrating on guiding movements, breathing smoothly, deeply and naturally, and not holding your breath;
(2) Moderately comfortable, gentle and slow, that is, keeping the body relaxed and natural, impartial, flowing, gentle and even;
(3) The motion is arc-shaped and circular, that is, the motion should be arc-shaped and spiral, and the transformation of circular motion is not stagnant. At the same time, with the waist as the axis, the whole body forms a whole;
(4) Coherence and coordination, with clear distinction between reality and reality, that is, actions should be continuous, the connection should be smooth, the reality and reality should be clear everywhere, and the center of gravity should remain stable;
⑤ Be light and calm, combining rigidity with softness, that is, every movement should be light and calm, not floating or stiff, soft outside and rigid inside, and the strength should be complete and elastic, and clumsy force should not be used.
Tai Ji Chuan's posture requirements for all parts of the human body are as follows: head-keep "virtual collar pushing strength", have dangling thoughts, don't sway, look straight naturally, close your mouth lightly, and hold your tongue against the upper jaw; Neck-natural vertical, flexible rotation, not nervous; Shoulders-flat and relaxed, without hunchback, bending or stretching backwards; Elbow-naturally bends and sinks to prevent rigidity or rising; Heavy wrist "flat wrist", full of strength, not soft; Chest-slightly loose, not protruding or deliberately shrinking inward; Stretching your back is called "pulling your back" and you can't bow and camel; Waist-loose downward, flexible rotation, no bow forward or backward; Ridge-straight and upright, keep your figure straight and natural; Hip-slightly inward, not outward, called "sliding hip" and "converging hip"; Hip-relaxation is full of contraction, and the lower limbs are difficult to penetrate. Do not stand forward with a twist; Legs-stable and firm, with proper bending, slight rotation, smooth movement and relaxed knees, which can distinguish between true and false soles.
Playing Tai Ji Chuan requires relaxation and naturalness, so that a part of the cerebral cortex enters a state of protective inhibition and rest. At the same time, boxing can activate the mood and regulate the brain, and the more skilled you are, the more you should "put your mind first, then put your body" and concentrate on guiding the action. This long-term persistence will restore and improve brain function and eliminate various chronic diseases caused by nervous system disorders. Tai Ji Chuan called for "Shen Dantian" and deliberately used abdominal breathing to increase the depth of breathing, which is conducive to improving respiratory function and blood circulation. Through easy and gentle exercise, the elderly and infirm can have comfortable meridians, vigorous metabolism and enhance their physique and function. Tai Ji Chuan has the function of preventing and treating diseases, and has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on chronic diseases such as neurasthenia, heart disease, hypertension, tuberculosis, tracheitis, ulcer, etc., which has been gradually popularized at home and abroad in the past hundred years. Patients with serious illness should exercise under the guidance of medical staff.
Tai Ji Chuan has a unique style and distinctive features in attack and defense. It requires static braking, combining rigidity and softness, avoiding reality and being empty, leveraging strength, and advocating that everything should be carried out objectively, coexist with others, and be dull. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan pays special attention to "listening", that is, accurately feeling and judging each other's arrival, so as to respond. Don't get ahead before the other party starts. You can use tricks to induce the other party to test its reality first. This term is called "the leading hand". Once the opponent starts, you should quickly get ahead of him, "he didn't move, he moved first" and "the latecomers came first", which will drag the opponent in, make him lose weight, or distract his strength, take advantage and fight back with all his might. Tai Ji Chuan's principle of attack and defense is embodied in the training of pushing hands and routine movements, which can not only train people's physical qualities such as reaction ability, strength and speed, but also has very important significance in the training of attack and defense fighting.
school
There are many schools in Tai Ji Chuan, such as Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, Wu, Wudang and Zhaobao. According to legend, in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Chen, an old boxer in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province, founded the Tai Ji Chuan, which was handed down from generation to generation. Yang Luchan, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province, studied under Chen Jiagou Chen Changxing, and with his son Yang Jianhou and grandson Yang Chengfu, he created "Yang Tai Ji Chuan" on the basis of Chen Tai Ji Chuan. Wu Yuxiang, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty, loved skills after returning from Chenjiagou, Yangluchan. He studied under Old Taiji Biography, and later under Chen Qingping's Zhao Bao. After revision, he created "Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan". Sun Lutang, a native of Wanxian County, Hebei Province, studied under Li, then under Li's master Guo, and then under Cheng. Later, he studied Tai Ji Chuan from Hao Weizhen, and then added the essence of three boxing methods, namely, Bagua Palm, Xingyiquan and Taiji, to create a "Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan". The so-called "Tai Chi waist, gossip step, both form and spirit" is here.
With the development of history, Wushu has gradually changed from fighting on the battlefield to keeping fit, which is exactly the case in Tai Ji Chuan. /kloc-more than 0/00 years ago, the taijichuan family had a saying in the Song of Thirteen Forces called "What is the meaning in detail, prolong life and never return to spring". After a long period of circulation, Tai Ji Chuan has evolved into many schools, among which the following five schools are widely circulated or have obvious characteristics.
1. Chen Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into old and new. The old routine was created by Chen in the early Qing dynasty, and there are five routines, also known as thirteen potentials. There are also 1 sets of long fists and 1 sets of gun hammers. Since Chen, after more than 300 years of study, I have accumulated a lot of experience, and constantly processed and refined the original gloves, and finally formed Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan (figure 1) 1 road and 2-road gloves that have been circulated in modern times. These two sets of boxing moves are carefully choreographed, with different speed and strength, posture, amount of exercise and difficulty, but they all conform to the principle of gradual progress and combining rigidity with softness. There are 83 types of Chen 1 Road Boxing, the main features of which are as follows: ① The strength of silk winding is obvious, and it is required to pay attention to the waist source everywhere, with the intention of running through the four tips (that is, hands and toes), and the action is curved and spiral, and it is necessary to "move inside and outside"; (2) Combining rigidity with softness, that is, it can play an inner strength that seems to be rigid but not rigid, soft but not rigid, and heavy and soft; ③ Action should be combined with breathing luck, which means "sinking into the belly" and "turning inward to the abdomen" when practicing the action, and sometimes making sounds (such as ho, ho, hush and blow) when exhaling to increase strength; (4) Slow and fast, that is, the movement is fast in transition and slow in boxing; ⑤ There are three boxing stands: high, medium and low. Weak and sick people can practice high shelf, healthy young people can practice low shelf. Chen Er gloves, formerly known as gun hammers, are 7 1 style, and their main features are as follows: ① more foot shaking movements; ② The movement is faster, harder and more explosive than 1 road; (3) "Bouncing, jumping and prancing" has many movements and is magnificent. The second way is only suitable for young and middle-aged people and does not spread widely. Chen's new routine also has two kinds. One was created by Chen Youben (Chenjiagou Boxer). The order is the same as the old routine. The posture is smaller than the old routine, and the circle is smaller than the old routine. Removed some of the original difficult moves. People in Chenjiagou village call it "small circle boxing", and the old routine is called "big circle boxing". This kind of boxing was later spread, and he wrote "Illustration of Chen Shi Tai Ji Chuan", expounding the boxing experience accumulated by Chen Shi in past dynasties. Another routine of the new frame was created by Chen Qingping, a disciple of Chen Youben. It is characterized by compactness, slow movement, and gradually adding circles after practice, which is extremely complicated. Because it first spread in Zhaobao Town, wen county City, Henan Province, people called it "Zhaobao Frame". Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan is an ancient boxing, and other schools in Tai Ji Chuan (such as Yang-style, Wu-style, Wu-style and Sun-style) are all developed on the basis of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan.
2. Yang Luchan (1800 ~ 1873), a native of Yongnian, Hebei, Tai Ji Chuan, worked as an employee in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province when he was young, studied Tai Ji Chuan, and returned to Tai Ji Chuan in his prime. It was called "Continuous Boxing", "Soft Boxing" and "Hua Quan" at that time because it could avoid and subdue the strong and fierce force. Yang Luchan went to Beijing to teach boxing, and all the princes and nobles in the Qing Dynasty learned from him. Excellent martial arts, known as "invincible Yang" at that time. Later, in order to meet the needs of ordinary boxers, Yang Luchan gradually deleted the original vigorous, vertical jump, shaking feet and difficult movements, and changed them from his son to the middle shelf, which was repeatedly revised by his grandson Yang Chengfu, so it was shaped into a Yang-style big shelf. Because of its simple and upright practice, it became the most popular Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan in modern times (Figure 2). Three generations of Yang's grandparents and grandchildren are famous in Beijing. After 1928, Yang Chengfu worked as an apprentice in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Hankou and other places, and his boxing style spread all over the country. Yang-style big shelf is characterized by simple stretching, smooth movement, flexible content, lightness and naturalness, and the movement steps are from loose to soft, which naturally presents a unique style with great style and beautiful image. Its posture is also divided into high, medium and low. The amount of exercise can be appropriately adjusted according to the different age, gender, physical condition and different requirements of boxing learners. Therefore, it is not only suitable for medical treatment and health care, but also suitable for people with good physical strength to strengthen their physique and improve their skills. 1957 was compiled into Tai Ji Chuan movement (88 style) according to the biography of Yang Tai, and 1963 published the biography of Yang Tai. Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan and Er-Road Gun Hammer are only practiced among a few people, mainly for the purpose of attack and defense.
3. Quan You, a Manchu from Taiji Chuan, was born in Daxing, Hebei in the late Qing Dynasty. He first learned about the great shelf of Taiji Chuan from Yang Luchan, and later learned from Yang Luchan's second son that his second son was famous for his softness (Figure 3). His son changed his surname from Han nationality to Wu, and his name was. Wu inherited and taught boxing with continuity and wide adaptability. Because Wu modified the boxing style, later people called it Wu-style small shelf. In modern times, it has become a widely circulated Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan.
Wu has been spreading boxing in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time. His boxing style is round and relaxed. Although his posture is small, it has a great foundation, and it stretches itself from development to compactness. When pushing hands, he is correct, rigorous and delicate. Wu Shi Tai Ji Chuan was published in 1958.
4. Martial arts Tai Ji Chuan Wu Yuxiang, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty, learned about Tai Ji Chuan from Yang Luchan, then learned about New Tai Ji Chuan, and got the Tai Ji Chuan score in Wuyang County, so he summarized the essentials of sports by practicing boxing. Wushu Tai Ji Chuan is characterized by its rigorous posture, compact posture, slow movement, rigorous footwork and clear distinction between reality and falsehood. The forward and backward rotation of the chest and abdomen is always positive, and the shape is mainly the transformation of excess and deficiency and the "internal gas latent rotation". The left and right hands are in charge of half the body, but the hands are not toes (Figure 4). Tai Ji Chuan, a martial art, was introduced to Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China, and then to Nanjing and Shanghai. 1963 published the book Wu's Taiji Biography. The story of Ge Shuncheng, the descendant of martial arts Tai Chi, goes like this: Wu Yuxiang's family is a famous family in Yongnian and Han Mo's family, but Wu Yuxiang himself is addicted to martial arts and has never been an official. Chen family business in Yongnian County, Chenjiagou rented Wu Yuxiang's house property. Wu Yuxiang saw that Chen Ren had practiced a brilliant fist and loved it very much. However, due to his own status and position, he was unable to learn from the teacher, so he entrusted his fellow countryman friend Yang Luchan (with a high martial arts background) to go to Chenjiagou to learn from Chen Changxing, and gave it to himself when he came back to support Yang Luchan's family. Yang Luchan went to study in Chenjiagou and gave everything to Wu Yuxiang every time he came back. In the end, Wu Yuxiang was not satisfied with what Yang Luchan had learned, so he went to Chenjiagou for advice. Chen Changxing was old at that time and introduced him to learn boxing from Chen Qingping. The consequences are great. The main descendants of early Wu Yuxiang were Yang Banhou (the son of Yang Luchan, who studied literature with Wu Yuxiang and later became a great martial artist, far exceeding his cultural level) and his two nephews, named Mr. Li Da and Mr. Li Er respectively. Mr. Li Da, Mr. Li Erchuan, Hao Weizhen, Ge Shuncheng and others. Hao Weizhen's martial arts is the highest, and his boxing was revised by later generations, and was designated as the standard boxing frame in Tai Ji Chuan. The whole family was handed down from generation to generation by Ge Shuncheng and others, and it still retains its original style.
5. Sun-style Taiji Sun Chuanlutang, a native of Wanxian County, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty, loves martial arts. He studied Xingyiquan first, then Bagua Palm, studied hard and practiced hard, and his kung fu was profound. In the early years of the Republic of China, he began to learn from Tai Ji Chuan, synthesized the strengths of various schools, and created his own Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan, and wrote Tai Ji Chuan Studies. Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan is characterized by freedom of advance and retreat, stretching and moving, and agility. When reversing, it is often connected by opening and closing, so it is also called "opening and closing Taiji Chuan" (Figure 5). The biography of Sun Tai Chi was published in 1957.
Although the above five moves and postures of Tai Ji Chuan are different, the routine structure and movement sequence are basically the same, and the purpose of practicing boxing is to strengthen the body and treat diseases. In addition to gloves, Type 5 Tai Ji Chuan also has its own pushers and equipment routines, such as Taiji sword and Taiji knife.
develop
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tai Ji Chuan developed rapidly, and people who beat Tai Ji Chuan spread all over the country. At present, there are hundreds of Tai Ji Chuan tutoring stations in Beijing's parks, streets and stadiums alone, attracting a large number of fans. The health, education and sports departments have listed Tai Ji Chuan as an important project, and have published millions of Tai Ji Chuan books and wall charts. Tai Ji Chuan is also very popular abroad. Tai Ji Chuan activities are held in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Japan and other countries and regions. According to incomplete statistics, the United States alone has published more than 30 kinds of Tai Ji Chuan books, and many countries have established organizations such as the Tai Ji Chuan Association to actively carry out exchange activities with China. Tai Ji Chuan, as a unique national sports event in China, has aroused the interests and hobbies of many international friends.
Tai Ji Chuan is the perfect combination of dialectical theoretical thinking of the Chinese nation and the guidance of Wushu, art and Qigong, and it is the advanced culture of human beings. His boxing theory comes from the classic works of China, such as Yijing, Huangdi Neijing, Huangting Jing and Ji Xiao Shu Xin. In the long-term development process, Tai Ji Chuan has absorbed the reasonable contents of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and other cultures, so it is called the "national quintessence".
The characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan Movement are: standing upright and comfortable in the middle, light and round in spirit, gentle and even, orderly opening and closing, combining rigidity and softness, and moving like "flowing water, continuous". This kind of movement is natural and elegant, and you can experience the rhythm of music, the connotation of philosophy, the beautiful shape and the artistic conception of poetry. In the advanced enjoyment, let the disease disappear and make the body and mind healthy.
At present, many scientific research departments are studying Tai Ji Chuan. Through the research of medicine, physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, psychology, mechanics and other disciplines, it is proved that Tai Ji Chuan has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of senile wrestling, hypertension, heart disease, lung disease, hepatitis, arthropathy, gastrointestinal diseases, neurasthenia and other chronic diseases.
Tai Ji Chuan is a martial art. Its characteristics are: "combine rigidity with softness, wait for action, be round and straight, win the big with small, win the strong with weak". It is an organic combination of martial arts and Sun Tzu's art of war. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan, especially Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan, is loved by people all over the world for his simple boxing posture and unique charm of easy learning and practice.
Origin and branch
Tai Ji Chuan has been handed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, with many famous artists and schools (including Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun). Tracing back to its source, it originated in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan.
Chenjiagou, located in Dongqingfengling, wen county, Henan Province, became Changyang Village 600 years ago. In the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), Chen Bu, a native of Zezhou (now Jincheng) in Shanxi Province, led his troops to move from Hongtong County, Shanxi Province to the north of Wenxian County and set up Chen Buzhuang Village. Two years later, because of the low terrain, he moved to Changyang. Later, due to the reproduction of Chen people, the family martial arts was very prestigious nearby, and there was a north-south gully in the village. Over time, Changyang was easily named as Chenjiagou. Chen summed up many boxing routines. There are five sets of fists, five sets of hammers, fifteen red guns, fifteen cannons, red gun hammers, one hundred single eight-style long fists, double pushers and other unique drill methods. According to this principle, Wushu equipment routines such as knife, gun, sword, stick, mace and double gun were created. These boxing routines are based on Tai Chi theory, from infinity to Tai Chi, from non-physical to physical, from static to vivid, and each move is divided into yin and yang (i.e. virtual, real, soft, rigid, static and dynamic). ), formed the prototype of Tai Ji Chuan machinery, passed down from generation to generation in the Chen family, and formed the Chen Tai Ji Chuan.
Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen, built another milestone on the basis of his ancestral Tai Ji Chuan. He refined and summarized Chen's Taiji Biography from Bo to Wu, and creatively formed a complete set of routines, which became the first and second road of Chen's Taiji Biography, and was later called "Old Frame". He also boldly broke the rules and passed on the family line, and studied under Yang Fukui (Lu Chan) of Guangpingfu (now Yongnian County) in Hebei Province. After returning to his hometown, Yang Fukui taught boxing in Beijing. Because of the need to teach boxing, he gradually abandoned the difficult moves in the old fake Tai Ji Chuan, and later his descendants modified and shaped it, becoming the popular Tai Ji Chuan in Yang Tai. After all the Manchus helped Bunyan, the son of Yang Fukui, learn from Tai Ji Chuan, he passed it on to Quan Jian, his son, to practice martial arts in Shanghai, and modified Tai Ji Chuan into another family. Because after that, the Han dynasty changed its surname to Wu, so it was called Wu.
Taijiquan, martial arts, light body.
The first three sentences in Wu Yuxiang's On Tai Ji Chuan, the founder of the Five Schools of Tai Ji Chuan, are: "When moving, you should be light all over, especially through it." This fully illustrates the significance of Tai Ji Chuan's light body method.
Hao Shaoru, a former teacher, pays special attention to the requirements of body posture in teaching. He pointed out: "Learning Tai Ji Chuan must be complete and rich in accordance with Tai Ji Chuan's principles everywhere, and both teaching and training must pay attention to body posture, which is the key to practicing Tai Ji Chuan well and must be strictly required." Fitness can be roughly divided into two stages. The first stage is posture training, that is, learning the posture of boxing frame, taking the tail center as the benchmark (the trunk center must be maintained when moving forward, backward, left and right), emphasizing the strict distinction between reality and reality in footwork, taking the center as the premise, and using internal strength completely when changing, rather than relying on the body to lean forward and lean back, swing left and right, or ups and downs of the body to borrow money; The upper and lower limbs must be well coordinated with the posture. If the coordination is not good, it will directly affect the posture. It is difficult for a novice to support the stability of his body, and it is also difficult to distinguish between true and false. But it takes eight movements to refresh the muscles and bones of the whole body.
Live in harmony, act in unison, and do whatever you want. Only by being light-hearted can we further master the ability of Qi-moving. The second stage is to practice inner shape, also called inner strength. First, under the guidance of consciousness, practice the unity of heart, qi and fist, from appearance to inner shape. Body posture is the key link of internal form and internal strength of an organization. Therefore, on weekdays, every move should be made from the inside out, so as to achieve internal and external integration. This is the truth that "everything is motionless, everything is not static, and everything is not static". Body, hands and footwork must be coordinated with each other, so as to achieve the purpose of dominating the shape from the inner shape.
(1) Taiji Chuan, martial arts (Hao style), runs through four aspects: "starting, bearing, opening and closing". Therefore, the phenomenon of continuity cannot be caused by the relationship between starting, bearing, opening and closing in practice. It is necessary to strive for the center of the tail, and gradually master the laws of holding the chest, pulling back, wrapping the crotch, protecting the buttocks, lifting the top, hanging the crotch, loosening the shoulders and sinking the elbows, and distinguishing between reality and falsehood. Then ask the waist to gather gas and let the gas inject into the waist. The qi in the spine can be injected into the waist, and the whole body will be dominated. A body can be dominated, and body, hands and footwork can be integrated. Only by combining them can the muscles and bones of the whole body achieve flexible coordination and further master the kung fu of qi circulation. If you can do these essentials well, you can breathe into your abdomen with your heart, and if it is inconvenient to float, you can sink into your abdomen.
(2) When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, be sure to breathe naturally and never hold your breath. From the beginning, we should concentrate our thoughts, concentrate on boxing and empty our bodies, so that our strength can be positive. Never use the movement of the respiratory system to dominate the opening and closing movements of Tai Ji Chuan. The technique should be vigorous, with the trend of forward movement, without carelessness; God gathered in his eyes, where I wanted to go, my eyes were direct, my whole body was direct, and then my whole body turned in the blink of an eye. See still, see still. It is always necessary to gather from the gods, so that the technique can achieve momentum and breathe through the fingers.
(3) Be calm and steady, light and agile at ordinary times. Every boxing situation should be divided into four words: "starting, bearing, opening and closing", but the four words should not be completely intermittent, and must be coherent and free, not rigid, and should be integrated in opening and closing. Learn the skills of meeting friends while walking. When you move, you should first ask yourself what is not enough or what your requirements are. Only by constantly correcting can we make continuous progress. Walk slowly, but avoid dullness. The so-called posture is light and smart, and it must be implemented in walking. The purpose of walking is to use. When walking on weekdays, it should be regarded as a fight with others, and when fighting, it should be regarded as walking. If the two complement each other, the boxing can be continuously improved. When the walking frame is mature, the whole body looks like a balloon, and the body seems to be suspended. Hands can stretch freely, legs can move back and forth, rotate left and right, and change between reality and reality. Tai Chi is the whole body, and the whole body is Tai Chi. With the passage of time, Tai Ji Chuan's exquisite art won the victory.
(4) Tai Ji Chuan is the most labor-saving art of hitting people, so it is the most essential feature of Tai Ji Chuan to hit people with strength without quoting. To master the ingenious skill of "one thousand catties and four strokes", we must understand the principle of lightness of body posture, so as to strike people with luck and intention. Over time, body posture is all-encompassing. The strength of the whole body lies in the whole, the qi of the whole body lies in the convergence, and the posture can be paired, light and flexible, so as to achieve "static without moving, static without moving". As soon as people get close to me, the next one will get the opportunity, and the next one will get the motivation, and I can do it right up and down. If you can get the chance, you can give up yourself and follow others; Know yourself and know yourself, and you can change because of the enemy; Only when the enemy changes, can we have the superb skills of "the introduction fails, and the four or two dial a thousand pounds."
In short, if the entry fails, the whole body must be completely unified, and the moving will be fully moved, and the static will be completely static, and the power will continue to erupt, so as to have explosive power. Traction in the world, transport in the chest, in the legs, dominate in the waist, save and then send. You must have five bows to accumulate strength and shoot an arrow like a bow. The strength of the whole body lies in the whole. Focus on one side, be punctual, and be targeted. Strength starts from the heel, from the feet to the legs and waist to the fingers, and must be complete without any interruption.
Over the years, it has been common that pure merit can not be changed, double diseases can not be eliminated, motivation can not be like archery, and even people are out of shape. All this is due to the lack of a wise teacher's guidance at the end of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, and scholars can't tell the difference.
