Tai Ji Chuan is a movement that combines consciousness, breathing and movement closely. It's an internal boxing with "internal and external integration", which directs physical activities with ideas, coordinates movements with breathing, and integrates martial arts, qigong and guidance.

Pay attention to your mind, keep the air inside, concentrate on practicing Tai Ji Chuan, get rid of other thoughts, keep your breath inside, and don't be distracted by other things. If God is introverted, he will "have no thoughts", his spirit will be nourished and his body and mind will be cheerful; If you are calm and optimistic, your pulse will be smooth and your body will be healthy naturally. "

Regulate qi and keep your whole body healthy. Tai Ji Chuan cooperates with breathing to sink qi into the abdomen and stimulate internal qi to move in the body. Lung governs qi and regulates breathing; Kidney governs qi, and qi is the root of vitality. Zhang Jingyue Yun: When the lungs and kidneys cooperate with each other, breathing is smooth, even, long and slow. This kind of abdominal breathing not only enhances and improves the ventilation function of the lungs, but also benefits the kidney and protects the vitality. When the abdomen is full of qi, the internal qi will flow all over the body, and the viscera and body will be nourished.

Move the body to promote qi and blood. Tai Ji Chuan draws air with intention, transports the body with qi, and the internal qi originates from the abdomen, and drives the whole body by rotating the waist and spine, which is called "taking the waist as the axis" and "not moving". Qi passes through the four meridians of Ren, Du, Dai and Chong, up to the shoulders, arms, elbows and wrists, down to the hips, knees and ankles, and even the four ends of hands and feet. After qi circulates around the body, it returns to the abdomen, so all muscles, bones, joints and limbs have been exercised. It has the effects of activating bones and muscles, dredging meridians, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation.

Because Tai Ji Chuan combined heart, qi and form into a whole, his spirit, qi and blood, viscera and bones and muscles were nourished and exercised, reaching a balanced state of "Yin and Yang are all secret", so he can play a role in treating diseases and strengthening the body and ensuring human health and longevity. As "The Theory of Ancient Naivety" said: "Carry the earth, grasp the yin and yang, breathe the essence, and be independent. If the muscles are the same, you can live longer. " This is why Tai Ji Chuan can keep fit.
