On Tai Ji Chuan's "Attention"
As far as uprightness is concerned, uprightness can be impartial and natural. Upright is good for relaxation, so it is a vertical line of the body. No matter the external force or the force, it is easy to be exact. To be perfect, you must be in it, because knowing that relaxation to nothingness is concentration can have the effect of propping up all sides. It can be seen that the eight sides are not hard or intentional, but it is really a manifestation after loosening, which is a natural feeling.
The key of Zhong Zheng lies in God's intention to raise his head in vain, let his feet touch the ground in vain, and his limbs are naturally vertical, so he can turn around without hindrance and advance and retreat with others. Standing is the foundation of supporting eight sides, and supporting eight sides is the embodiment of standing, which is righteousness! So as long as you start from an upright posture and do the right thing for a long time, you can get the right result!
To practice Tai Ji Chuan, attention is always required. But teachers who guide you and classmates who can point out mistakes will not always be around. How to self-verify and master without the correction of teachers and peers, and every move of walking should be engraved with an upright posture that needs attention? There is an extremely simple, easy to master and effective method: after each movement, put down your hands and arms, and don't move any part of your body, remember! At this time, the boxer can easily detect and test whether he is upright, that is, whether he leans forward and backward, and leans left and right. If you feel poor breathing, you are in a state of leaning forward. You can pay attention to the empty collar to straighten up. If you feel that you are breathing smoothly, as relaxed and casual as ever, it means that you are upright; If you wave your hand like before, it will naturally not affect your figure, and then you will do the next action. The next action is still so easy to check and you think it is a rule.
If you feel chest tightness and heavy waist when your hands droop, this is a backward phenomenon, and your breath will be vented to your chest. At this time, as long as you take a long breath, you will naturally reduce your breath and restore your body shape. In short, every movement, whether excessive or fixed (in fact, Tai Ji Chuan is a transitional movement except the beginning and the end), makes his body feel the same below the shoulders and above the hips as when standing naturally, and it is correct. This method is simple and practical, and you can detect any slight discomfort by hanging your hands backwards. It is really simple and easy to verify itself, and the result is in an instant.
Standing is a very principled requirement, and supporting eight sides is the kung fu produced by long-term practice on this requirement. Simply put, if you hold up all sides, you will not be afraid of external forces invading from anywhere in your body. Theoretically, on the basis of standing upright, you can embrace Yin and Yang inside and outside your body to form a harmonious whole (a complete family). When an external force touches any part of me, it will be soft, which will naturally produce changes in yin and yang, resulting in a dynamic division of reality and reality, which will turn with his strength. Is this called it? I'm just soft-hearted? I don't need to stop him, but naturally he can't enter my circle, that is, he can't pose a threat to me. It's easier to get out of the circle than into it. Meaning. In other words: whether you can hold up eight sides is the standard to verify whether you have achieved integrity.
The above self-test method is only a helper for beginners, and it is only the first time for scholars to know that any wonderful method can not be separated from nature. In order to further support the Eight Faces, you need to practice your head, shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, waist, knees, feet and other parts one by one according to the training method of Taiji internal strength. Jurisprudence and requirements of acrobatics in various parts. The explanation in the book is too detailed to add anything. When I act in accordance with the law, I can only use pen and ink to carry out my own experience and understanding, in order to give some reference to scholars or help me understand talk.an excellent course!
In practice, the head, feet and waist are the key points.
The head is where the advanced central nervous system (brain) is located. All human actions are directed by the brain; Anyone who advances, retreats, cares, hopes and decides must obey orders. For example, eyes and ears, breathing and breathing are also determined by the brain. Keep your head straight when walking. There seems to be a little connection at the top, but it is empty and suspended. Natural and refreshing, light and round has its own taste. Head drooping? That's what it means. What are the requirements for the top of the head? Virtual spirit is strong? As we all know. Virtual spirit means to lift your head up in a virtual way, so that your body will be elongated and your feet will land in a virtual way. Of course, this all means that if your feet are empty and light, your body will naturally turn around and live, so that your head can really play the role of a program.
Eyes should be straight, thoughts should be restrained, mouth and teeth should be slightly closed, that is, head should be straight and neck should be straight. The head is straight, the neck is straight, and it is natural. It is not easy for the head to feel biased at first, so Yang Chengfu mentioned it? The jacking force is not forced to jacking. Be ethereal and upright! ? Reentry? One step? Virtual spirit top? It makes it easier for beginners to master the relevant requirements of the head. ? The gyro should be empty and relaxed. The empty state of the gyro is to put the spirit on it? The theory of Yin and Yang is one of Tai Ji Chuan's epoch-making contributions in the field of cultivation! The distinction between yin and yang is not the words of the former sages, but it conforms to the laws of nature. ? Top leakage, whole body stiffness, why top leakage? If there is no yin and yang in the world, there will naturally be no change of yin and yang, and qi and blood will naturally drain. So what is qi draining and blood stasis, and the whole body is not stiff?
In Tai Ji Chuan's jurisprudence, the waist can reach below the shoulder and above the knee, which requires the trunk to be as empty as a lantern. Does this requirement conform to the classic boxing classics? Invisible without image. All the people are empty? Described by the field. But the rest is easy to say, but? Waist empty? Many fighters can't accept it. Because there are the most important indications about the waist in boxing theory, such as: Its roots are in the foot, knee rotation and main waist? 、? Waist like an axle? 、? The waist is the axis? 、? Like wheels? Wait, because? The source of fate lies in the waist gap? So what? Watch your waist? Can you do that? Is your stomach loose and empty? In particular, there is a song that points out the importance of waist more deeply: Is it necessary to have a figure, a waist and a coat? Why need one!
Such an important waist in natural Tai Ji Chuan? Don't think about it Crown, no wonder people are hard to understand! That's right, hips. Physiological anatomy makes it clear to us that the human torso is supported by the pelvis, and when the pelvis is straight, the body will naturally be straight. The correctness of the pelvis depends on whether the two hips are flat, and often the movement of the legs affects the balance of the two hips. By analogy, the reason for the unbalanced movement of legs must be the instability of feet, so Yang Yuting said? Your feet should be flat and loose, and you can't touch the ground? Why not step on the ground? Down-to-earth, contribute strength. There will be a reaction force along the leg, which is enough to affect the balance of body support.
To sum up, we can understand that the foundation of uprightness still lies in the feet, so we sum up the mystery and point out that Tai Ji Chuan's internal cultivation must start from the feet! Feet clear, feet empty and clean, feet solid. What is that? Column one-legged center of gravity? In other words, it has reached an upright position. It also completely solved the double problem. Speaking of duality, what does boxing say? Every few years, those who can't practice pure skills will create their own! (the reason is) double illness is not realized? Everyone thinks that "double" means to push your hands together. In fact, this is also a double range, but the most important thing is that the feet are unclear. A circle can only have one center in the movement of Taiji seeking a circle. If there are two centers at the same time, how can it move? On this point, Yang Chengfu has made an incisive exposition: The first essence of Tai Ji Chuan's art is to distinguish between reality and falsehood. If the whole body is sitting on the right leg, the right leg is solid and the left leg is empty; Sit with your left leg, your left leg is solid and your right leg is weak. Virtual can be divided, and then turn light and effortless; If it can't be divided, it will be depressed, unstable and easily influenced by others.
What I said above is not the highest level, although it is all placed in the form of body, which is also guided by mind and knowledge. It is natural to observe the experience of sages and individuals on Kung Fu, without any signs of movement or artificial integrity. It can be seen that excellent Kung Fu is really single-minded, calm and unbiased. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, first of all, don't forget that you are here to entertain yourself and enjoy the physical and mental comfort brought by reasonable exercise. If you can't enjoy this beauty in the process of practice, it must be wrong.
There will be many mistakes, and the biggest mistake is that you are not honest enough. Therefore, it can be said that Tai Ji Chuan is practiced to get an upright position. Be impartial, not biased towards any side, and not dependent on any place. Being able to stand in the body is the embodiment of impartial thinking; Impartiality, natural awe-inspiring Ideologically speaking, standing in the body is a program and a career; With honest ideological requirements, there will be impartial methods to guide, and this is the result. From the legal point of view of performance, justice is the method and reason of performance; Justice has been achieved, and the result seems to be just. Both cause and effect each other, and vary from thought to thought.
Upright, qi and blood naturally flow up and down. This truth is comparable to that of people who recite scriptures. Although they sit all day, they can also get physical and mental comfort. This is because all Chinese characters can be pronounced correctly, which will produce different fluctuations, thus producing the effect of dredging qi and blood.
There are very clear instructions on how to stand upright: if the spirit can afford it, there is no danger of delay. What is the so-called immediate pause? . Procrastination is considered firm, that is, it is not light and flexible. Spiritual leadership means immediate suspension, which can also be understood as the function that the practice of spiritual leadership leads to immediate suspension. What is the description of the song? Standing on top of your body, hanging over your head? ! Standing in the body is precisely because God is on it, but it is only because the head is hanging.
It can be seen that the key to walking upright is spiritual guidance.
God penetrates the top: watch your head. Head Hanger: God is hanging in the air.
The top floor can afford it, and the bottom floor naturally follows; The top is straight and the bottom is straight. This is clear in theory.
The understanding of behavior also depends on thinking: find the existence of the three lines of the body, vertical on an facade, and you can achieve the upper body (refer to the theory of the three lines of the body).
When acting, you use your feelings to complete it: imagine yourself as these three lines, and show a line when separating the virtual from the real. In other words, there is only this line, nothing else! Straighten this line ideologically, just as it looks when it is in a fixed position, just as it is still in motion; In fact, practitioners need to keep this body line vertical forever, which is equivalent to keeping upright. Because the spirit is brought up, up and down is a whole, so that we can move up and down and everything goes with the fate. Pay attention! The following yourself, there is no need to follow actively! Self-following, unconscious; Active, intended to follow. The head is the outline, the body and limbs are the eyes, and the outline is open, which is what it means.
The body is like a line, convergent and easy to soften!
Beginners seeking lines, regardless of thickness, are true; Then refine it into emptiness. If there is nothing in the end, you need to be comfortable from time to time, and you don't need emptiness from time to time. The so-called flickering, applied to a heart, also shows that people are ignorant and inaction, so you can do it? People don't know about me and? I only know people? !
