Chen and Tai Ji Chuan's theory of Yin and Yang, the theory of opening and closing of motion and static motion, and the method of combining rigidity with softness are all techniques of mutual practice. Boxing moves are spiral forward and backward, which is called silk-winding strength. It is Chen's original mystery, passed down from generation to generation, and there are not many written records. In Chen's Boxing Score, there are only two books about the treatment of the law, The General Song of Boxing Classics and The Song of Boxers, which were written by Chen, a descendant of the ninth generation in chandy. These two paragraphs show that vertical flexion and extension, relying on winding, using winding force, and futile introduction still depend on our own principles. Chen's original "War Hero Song" was four sentences, which was later developed into six sentences by his descendants. Hereby, I record "Song of Boxing Classics and Generals" and "Song of Boxers" twice:
General melody of boxing classics
I don't know how to bend and stretch, but I rely on entanglement.
There is progress in cutting and pushing, but it is difficult to lose when moving.
Hook shed forces everyone to know, but who knows,
Pretend to lose, cheat away, and lure back to win.
Rolling and sweeping the spirit is more subtle, and horizontal splitting and vertical splitting are more bizarre.
Cut into the block, pierce the elbow, and catch the red gun in the wind.
Second, change your feet and leggings on the left and right sides.
Seamless lock before cutting and after pressing, familiar with diversion.
You must remember that when you are in a cage, you must not delay the attack and retreat.
There is a hidden skull in the world, and it is rare to save your heart.
If a teacher doesn't know this truth, it will be difficult to speak martial arts.
Percussion songs
Four exact words?
It is necessary to be serious about squeezing talents and friends, but it is difficult to follow people up and down.
Let him fight with great strength, which will affect four or two. ?
Future generations into six sentences?
Only friends should be careful when they are crowded, but it is difficult to get in with others all over the body.
Let people attack vigorously, affecting four or two thousand pounds,
If the import fails, it will come out, and if it sticks, it will bend and stretch.
In the ninth generation of Chen Wangting, Chen Taiji had compiled seven sets of gloves besides Sanshou, bun and two-person sparring hands (or thugs, now commonly known as pushers). ) After years of research and training, and then spread to the 14th generation of Chen Changxing, Chen Taiji has already made an appointment with Bo, leaving the past behind. Tai Chi Changquan, various postures, is no longer practiced. There are five sets of thirteen potential boxing frames, only the headgear is practiced, and the other four sets are also abandoned. A set of artillery beats, which complement each other with the thirteen potentials; The thirteen potentials are more flexible and less rigid, the cannon is more flexible and less rigid, and there are jumps, leaps and flashes, which make up for the shortcomings of the thirteen potentials. However, the basic kung fu still lies in the proficiency of thirteen movements, so some Chen surnames are not used to sex, and the study of foreign surnames focuses on fitness or is difficult to practice when they are old. As for two people's hands, it's just a step (such as A's right foot and B's left foot). Or a left foot and b right foot. ) the type of moving hip. When two people go up, put their hands on each other and stick them together from top to bottom. First, they use the method of squeezing their friends instead of squeezing them. After they were proficient, they mixed in the elbow rest method and various methods in gloves, and gradually moved towards eclecticism. The so-called big talents are scattered, that is, among them. This method is simple and changeable. ?
From Taiji to Chen Changxing in the 14th generation, Chen has simplified the stereotypes and only practiced two sets of thirteen-potential headgear and cannon hammer as gloves. Therefore, headgear boxing and cannon hammer are referred to as two sets of boxing. Chen Changxing's thirteen boxing sets were compiled by his nine ancestors, which has been more than 300 years since. Let's look at Chen Taiji's ancestor Chen Bu, which passed to Chen in nine years and was integrated, and then passed to Chen Changxing in five years (177 1, 1853) to simplify the stereotypes. Over 470 years, it can be said that it has been studied for a long time and strives for perfection. ?
Chen taiji passed on thirteen styles of headgear, combining rigidity with softness, but there are still some techniques that are difficult to practice. As a result, Chen Changxing's contemporary Chen Youben deleted the posture he had worked hard to practice and replaced it with a new one, calling the original boxing frame old. Later, in the15th generation, Chen Qingping changed a set of small, compact and small-step shelves from the new shelf, which was referred to as "small shelves" for short. Because Chen Qingping's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in Zhaobao Town, the neighboring town of Chenjiagou, Qingping was teaching boxing in Zhaobao at that time, so it was also called Zhaobao Frame. ?
There is no difference in the glove combinations of the old, new (as wide as the old) and small boxing rings in the Thirteen Dynasties of Chen and Tai Ji Chuan, with the same name and different names, or with a slight change in the same name; But the method remains the same, just the difficulty of the technique and the size of the silk thread winding. As for the management style, it is exactly the same. There is no difference in depth between these three kinds of racks, and those who learn the old rack need not learn the new rack or the small rack. Those who learn the new rack don't have to learn the old rack. If you study at the same time, you can do it. At that time, Master Yang Lu was invincible from Chen Changxing; This can be seen from Wu Yuxiang's study of Chen Qingping's deification skills. ?
Chen taiji's biography, handed down from generation to generation, experienced nine generations from 10 to 225 years of the Republic of China, and celebrities came forth in large numbers. Since the 14th generation, there are old, new and little finger joints due to the practice of thirteen potential finger joints, thus forming the old frame system, Chen Youben's new frame system and Chen Qingping's small frame system. In modern times, Chen Fake was the main representative of the old shelving system and the new shelving system, and the small shelving spread in Zhaobao.
Boxing is the same, it is important to learn the source. Textual research and textual research are bound to spread and evolve in the Ming Dynasty. There are different legends about the origin and development of Tai Ji Chuan, which have been corrected by predecessors under the guise of supporting the society. The Tai Ji Chuan studied now comes from Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province, which is recognized by Tai Ji Chuan practitioners today. Mr. Chen, a senior martial arts scholar, has already spoken. (See the third section of the first chapter of Tai Ji Chuan Textbook by Mr. Chen, saying that modern Tai Ji Chuan came from Chenjiagou. Therefore, the historical facts of Biography of Chen Taiji are important materials of China Wushu. Mr. Zhong has detailed textual research and incisive exposition on the thirteen strokes of Chen's Tai Ji Chuan Changquan influenced by Qi Jiguang Boxing Classics, the names and contents of Chen's thirteen strokes are different from those of Yang's eight doors and five steps, and the evolution of the beater song, which are scattered in the first and second series of China Wushu Historical Materials published by the Ministry of Education. For example, The Origin of Tai Ji Chuan Principles, A Brief Introduction to Tai Ji Chuan's Historical Materials, and Detailed Explanation of Tai Ji Chuan Yangpai Boxing Spectrum published by Chinese Cultural Renaissance Monthly. According to the records of Chen's descendants and the teacher's hearing, this paper expounds the emergence and development of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan, from the appointment of Bo to stereotypes, as well as the distribution of boxing strength and pedigree, for reference.
The inheritance of Chen Taiji;
Chenjiagou in wen county, Henan, and Tai Ji Chuan handed down by Chen, taking the theory of Tai Chi opening and closing of Yin and Yang, are the best martial arts in China. Its roots can be traced back to more than 600 years ago. In the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1374), Chen's ancestors moved to Changyang Village, wen county City, Henan Province from Dahuaishu in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. Later, Changyang Village was renamed Chenjiagou because of its descendants.
When Chen people lived in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, they were used to practicing Changquan. After they moved to Wenxian, their ancestor Chen Bu studied boxing according to the theory of opening and closing of Yin and Yang, so as to teach it to future generations. Legend has it that Jiuzu Chen participated in Qi Jiguang Boxing Classic and made gloves; With its unique winding strength, combined with the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist breathing-guiding techniques, it forms the internal boxing method which combines consciousness, breathing and movement.
Chen's boxing is handed down from generation to generation, and there is no surname. It began in Chen Changxing, the 14th ancestor, and spread to Yang Luchan, and was introduced to Beijing by Yang, and the boxing method was changed to Yang's Tai Ji Chuan, which was widely circulated. Later, several different factions were derived. It was not until the autumn of the 17th year of the Republic of China that Chen Fake, the 17th ancestor, was hired to teach boxing in Beiping, and Chen Tai Ji Chuan was known to the outside world.
Chen Bu, the ancestor of Chen, has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 600 years, during which it has been improved. By the time Chen Changxing, the 14th founder, Chen's boxing had been finalized by Bo Heyue.
Chen Changxing, the 14th ancestor, passed on thirteen heads and two sets of guns. /kloc-another new rack introduced by Chen Youben, the grandparent of the 4th generation, is made by removing the vibration in the headgear and changing the posture that is difficult to practice. Chen Qingping, the fifteenth ancestor, introduced a new small frame, also referred to as Zhao Baojia. This set of boxing courses is changed by the new frame, which is more compact.
In this trip, the three postures, the structure of boxing posture and the rules of using silk-winding force are exactly the same, but the techniques are different. The old frame is wide, and there are difficult movements such as shaking feet and jumping; The new frame omits the difficult-to-drill action, and the frame is as wide as the old frame; The trolley frame is more compact and there are more ways to release the shock force.
There are seven sets of Tai Ji Chuan by Chen Chuanshi. For a set of long fists, thirteen imposing manners, two, three, four, five sets, and one set of cannon hammers, it was spread to Chen Changxing, Chen Youben, Chen Taiji, and Chen XIV, and Bo made a promise to specialize in thirteen-potential helmets and two sets of cannon hammers. So now there are only two sets of Tai Ji Chuan by Professor Chen. One set is a thirteen-potential old rack, and the other is a cannon hammer. There is also a new box modified by 14th Chen chen and a small box modified by 15th Chen Chen Qingping. The following is a brief description of each glove:
Actor's headdress
native place
The old box was handed down by Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen. Its movements are sensitive, stiff and flexible, with jumping, energetic and shocking feet. This picture frame is wide and gorgeous.
New framework
The new frame was modified by Chen You, the 14th Chen, according to the boxing method of the old frame, which reduced the difficulty and jumping, but its frame body was still spacious and magnificent.
Small frame
The small rack is a new rack, which was modified by Chen Qingping, the 15th Chen. The fist structure is the same, the action circle is small and fast, the momentum is fierce and the frame is compact. This kind of boxing is popular in Zhaobao, the neighboring town of Chenjiagou, so it is also called "Zhaobao Frame".
Ertao
Cannon hammer
The spear hammer was circulated by Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen family. Supplemented the thirteen potentials of the hood. It was hit hard by the potential method, fierce as a gun, quick in action, full of jumping and vigorous, and magnificent.
The difference with other Tai Ji Chuan.
Chen Shi Tai Ji Chuan In recent years, due to the efforts of Chen Shi's disciples, more and more people are learning, but some people always have the illusion that their appearance is too rigid, with movements such as shaking their feet, pushing and jumping, and moving faster at the same time, and some are not like Tai Ji Chuan.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Chen Taijichuan has always believed that it is not suitable for the elderly, or that it is a women's sport for fitness. Even some young people think so, thinking that it is not authentic Tai Ji Chuan. Only by studying Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan can we understand Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan, and only by practicing for many years can we know the mystery.
There are three points to explain here:
One, Chen Tai Ji Chuan moves fast and slow, and the hair accumulation is obvious, while Tai Ji Chuan moves evenly and the hair accumulation is not obvious.
Second, Chen Tai Ji Chuan's limb movement is spiral winding, which is a kind of winding power, while the general Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of drawing power, and the limbs move in an arc and simply turn around.
Three, Chen Tai Ji Chuan's breathing method is mainly abdominal breathing method, which is a compound abdominal breathing method, that is, reverse breathing method. Generally, Tai Ji Chuan adopts single abdominal breathing.
The three differences mentioned above are great, but there are many other plates, so I won't discuss them. Chen Shi-Tai Ji Chuan takes internal and external skills as the exterior and interior, pays equal attention to fitness and technical attack, and his exercises focus on the operation of internal qi, which is what Chen Xin called "neutral qi".
This qi originates from the abdomen and spreads to the whole body. When it opens, it reaches the four tips (toes), and when it closes, it still belongs to the abdomen, which means it opens and closes, which means it moves quietly.
Chen's Tai Chi Chuan is really based on the theory of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, eliminating excess and deficiency, practicing flexion, extension, opening and closing, winding and spinning, breathing naturally, moving gracefully, and taking impartiality as the foundation.
Therefore, it has the function of strengthening the body and treating diseases, while in martial arts, it has the effect of fighting with small fights and defeating the strong with weak ones. In fact, it is an extremely excellent, profound and mysterious fist in Chinese Wushu!
