Chen was a very important military general in the Ming Dynasty. He is good at martial arts. After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in seclusion at home and taught his children and grandchildren martial arts as a pastime in his later years. On the basis of Qi Jiguang's boxing classics, he created the boxing paths of thirteen potential, long fist and cannon hammer, and then combined with Wang Zongyue's Tai Ji Chuan theory to evolve into today's Tai Ji Chuan. Thirty-two postures in Qi Jiguang's Boxing Classics are woven into gloves as the content of training. Chen got twenty-nine potentials from it, and created a routine of thirteen potentials and five roads in Tai Ji Chuan, where he shot all the way and punched all the way. The thirty-two potentials in the Classic of Boxing are all called "lazy to tie clothes", and the seven sets of boxing methods created by Chen are also called "lazy to tie clothes". The so-called "laziness in tying clothes" means that when facing the enemy, you can casually pull your clothes and fight, which shows that you have high martial arts and are unhurried.
Chen's creative achievement in boxing is to combine Tai Ji Chuan's guiding and breathing techniques, and apply the theory of meridians and yin and yang. When practicing boxing, you sweat instead of breathing, and the explosive force of softening rigidity is the combination of guidance and breathing; The principle of winding silk is to apply the meridian theory; The theory of yin and yang adopts the combination of reality and excess, and combines rigidity and softness.
Tai Ji Chuan's two-handed pushing hands and two-handed sticking marksmanship were pioneered by Chen. It is a unique martial art method in Tai Ji Chuan. You can practice unarmed combat skills without using protective gear. This is an epoch-making innovation in the history of China Wushu.
Since Chen, the Chen family in Chenjiagou has been learning Tai Ji Chuan from generation to generation, all the way to the 4th generation of Chen Changxing (177 1- 1853). Chen only specializes in Taiji Chuanyi Road and Cannonball Road, that is, Chen Taiji Chuanyi Road and No.2 Road, which have been passed down to this day.
Chen is an outstanding figure in sorting out folk martial arts after Qi Jiguang. As military commanders, both he and Qi Jiguang have to learn martial arts and have actual combat experience, so there are many people who come into contact with martial arts, so it is beneficial to learn from others and inherit and innovate.
Now, Tai Ji Chuan has been popularized in China, and it has become the most popular sport. His health care function has been recognized by the masses and attracted the attention of the international sports and medical circles. Tai Ji Chuan is popular not only in China, but also in the world. Tracing back to the source, Chen made outstanding contributions to Tai Ji Chuan's creation. It can be said that Chen is not only the founder of Chen Tai Ji Chuan, but also the founder of Tai Ji Chuan Movement in China.
