Traditional Chinese medicine believes that man is an organic whole, which is connected from top to bottom by meridians, with internal and external communication, internal organs and external limbs. Tai Ji Chuan's unique practice method is beneficial to dredge meridians. First of all, we know that the sudden, intense and lasting stimulation of the seven emotions will lead to the disorder of human qi, the imbalance of qi and blood of viscera, yin and yang, and Tai Ji Chuan's emphasis on the relaxation of the whole body can weaken, transfer and overcome the stimulation of the seven emotions of internal injuries, thus facilitating the dredging of meridians. Secondly, Tai Ji Chuan's moderate and appropriate exercise will make the whole body warm and harmonious, increase the speed and intensity of meridian conduction, help pulse and qi run in the meridian system of the whole body, make the meridians smooth, make qi and blood fill the whole body, nourish viscera, nourish yin and yang, maintain and protect the body function, and increase the ability of disease resistance, evil resistance and self-repair. Thirdly, in the Tai Ji Chuan movement, the winding movement composed of waist rotation and limb flexion and extension has different pulling, squeezing and kneading effects on more than 300 acupoints all over the body. This is actually a kind of self-massage, which can play a similar role to acupuncture, activate meridians, stimulate the qi of meridians, dredge meridians, regulate excess and deficiency, strengthen the maintenance and contact of physiological functions of various tissues and organs, and make them in a coordinated and orderly state.
Tai Ji Chuan pays great attention to the way of keeping in good health, which is the unity of nature and man, and the unity of form and spirit. Tai Ji Chuan's combination of movement and static makes Tai Ji Chuan more in line with the principle of moderate movement. At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan's unique intention of calming the nerves makes it easier for the mind to calm down, which can effectively block the interference and adverse effects of excessive seven emotions on qi and blood, and protect "Shen Yuan" from playing its normal role in regulating human physical and mental health.
Tai Ji Chuan is a science with a long history and rich contents, which contains rich and unique practice methods. Tai Ji Chuan not only inherited the traditional way of keeping in good health in ancient China, but also developed it on the basis of modern science, which made it obtain greater health care efficacy in fitness, treatment and anti-aging, with special efficacy beyond drugs. This special effect is not desirable, and the following aspects must be achieved in practice:
First of all, we should be standardized, that is, the body posture should meet certain sports standards, which is also the action requirement that all actions should follow, no matter how ever-changing. Only the standardization of body posture and movements is conducive to "obeying the will"; It is conducive to lengthening limbs, showing the characteristics of straightness, looseness, roundness and lightness more flexibly, and it is also conducive to "resisting movement with quietness", "seeking quietness while moving" and "keeping the spirit inside", so that boxing presents a virtual spiritual realm with only intentional movement and unconscious movement, and the practice enters a higher level, converging from the inside out, from the outside inside out and from the inside out, so as to skillfully practice both inside and outside. To reach the standard of action, we must first be natural and relaxed physically, and at the same time be relaxed mentally, so as to achieve "body quietness".
Tai Ji Chuan adopts abdominal breathing, which requires deep, even, thin, slow and long, but beginners should not deliberately pursue these, as long as they use smooth and natural breathing. Abdominal forward breathing is also the only way to realize abdominal reverse breathing, which will increase the regulation of somatic nervous system on breathing, thus having a better impact on the regulation of autonomic nervous system on visceral function. However, beginners should not blindly adopt this breathing method because of this, otherwise, they will not only lose sight of one thing, but also affect their exercise and even hold their breath. In fact, as long as the movements are skilled, the abdominal front breathing is more coordinated, and the realization of abdominal reverse breathing is only a matter of ripe fruit. Tai Ji Chuan's philosophy is natural and inviolable. Therefore, beginners must follow the principle of smooth breathing and avoid rushing for success.
Tai Ji Chuan's good health care function can only be brought into play through long-term exercise. First of all, like other sports, the appearance of Tai Ji Chuan's exercise effect is a cumulative process, with the law of quitting without exercising. In addition, physical recovery and physical improvement is a slow process. As the saying goes, "getting sick like a mountain is like reeling", which is the truth. Tai Ji Chuan has the function of strengthening the body and treating diseases, but it has no immediate effect.
Secondly, Tai Ji Chuan's health care function is the result of comprehensive exercise of "training body, mind and heart", and it is a long-term process to master the true meaning of Tai Ji Chuan. "Practicing 39 in winter and squatting in summer" just reflects the indispensability of practicing boxing.
Third, practice has proved that Tai Ji Chuan's health care efficacy lies in persistent practice. Everyone who is determined to keep in good health by practicing Tai Ji Chuan should learn from it the truth of perseverance.
The so-called "success is inevitable" is a process of self-defeating, and it is also a process of forming habits and becoming interested in playing Tai Ji Chuan. With this change, a sense of fullness, pleasure and happiness of physical and mental health will spontaneously arise, the quality of work and life will be unexpectedly improved, the fun of life will be enjoyed more, and people will have a deeper understanding and feeling of Tai Ji Chuan's three functions of fitness, treatment and anti-aging. Then strengthen the confidence and interest in practicing boxing, and finally let Tai Ji Chuan become a mentor on the healthy road for practitioners.
