In 1980s, national leaders Liu, Song Renqiong personally visited Lao Tunan and asked him if he was cold or warm.
In the late 1960s, Tai Ji Chuan fans living in the crevice often went to Beijing Zizhuyuan Park to listen to the boxing match of Master Wu Tunan. After practicing boxing, the students went to the teahouse to have a rest. According to their personal situation, they take out a catty of food stamps every month and give Mr. Wu two or three yuan to live on. Senior intellectuals from various research institutes often go to the boxing ring or their home to financially support Mr. Wu Lao's life. With the care of many students, Mr. Wu Lao's boxer lives healthily and creates a miracle of life. There are many people praising Wu Tunan's old boxers, and there are countless articles introduced and interviewed by Chinese and foreign publishing houses. On the occasion of Mr. Wu's centenary birthday, the Beijing Institute of Literature and History held a special exhibition and interview articles by famous Tai Ji Chuan, which is very rare in Beijing.
So, what should we praise Mr. Wu Tunan?
Diligent and knowledgeable, dabble in a hundred schools. The old boxer is a scholar-like Tai Ji Chuan. When Mr Wu Tunan was young, he studied medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, human meridians, literature, archaeology and the Book of Changes. Wu Lao is good at Tai Ji Chuan studies, and he is proficient in qigong, riding and shooting, wrestling, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, Tongbei Boxing and Shaolin Boxing. He has a deep research on the accumulation essence of Xi Zhixue. As early as 1930s, Wu Lao, a boxer, was unique in the teaching practice and theoretical research of Wushu in China, and he wrote a book, which can be described as a warrior among the pioneers of Wushu theoretical research. Tai Ji Chuan, Neijia Quan, Xuanxuan Dao, Tai Chi Sword, Introduction to Bow and Arrow, Introduction to Wushu, Research on Tai Ji Chuan, etc. have been published.
Arousing Chinese Wushu is an advocate of Wushu going global. Wu Tunan likes martial arts since he was a child. He practiced boxing when he was nine years old. He entered Quanyou Boxing Room, studied Tai Ji Chuan with Master Wu, and joined Yang Shaohou. He got the essence of two schools of Tai Chi Kung Fu in Wuyang. After decades of hard training and careful consideration, his boxing method has been improved day by day, integrating health preservation and boxing learning, and has been clamoring for promoting Chinese martial arts: "arouse Chinese people, help each other in the same boat, and be martial;" Turn the tide. The flagging spirit of the past has gradually become a stubborn wind. The ability of Wushu to change customs can be seen in Sri Lanka. If we can restore the inherent spirit of our nation and achieve the status of international freedom and equality. "
Wu Tunan advocated the Tai Ji Chuan Movement. In his Introduction to Martial Arts, he pointed out that Tai Ji Chuan's "emphasis on internal and external cultivation, focusing on physical and mental benefits, enhancing wisdom and cultivating temperament is of great benefit. And it has a superior position in the way of keeping in good health. There is only one foothold, and that is exercise ability. However, in about ten minutes, practitioners can gain a happy interest. " Wu Tunan urged Tai Ji Chuan to stay healthy and stay healthy, regardless of the fighting skills. By practicing boxing, the body has a "natural and beautiful development, the ability to adapt to nature, so that all people can be fully developed and seek permanent health for life." As early as 1930s, Master Wu Tunan was famous for his martial arts. When I was engaged in martial arts in Nanjing, I often played with Mr. Wu. For example, 1933 In the first National Games in June, Mr. Quan Jian and I took a group photo at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Suzhou Tiger Hill.
During his stay in Nanjing, Master Wu Tunan expressed his indignation at the eve of the Japanese invasion of the motherland. He advocated martial arts to all his compatriots. Don't wait until "after the national disaster, it hurts the weakness of the nation and the country will not be a country." Arouse the Chinese people, "the same tree is martial, you can save the country, you can avenge." When the Japanese invaders were aggressive, Wu Tunan shouted loudly in 1936's Introduction to Wushu. "Take martial arts as fun and be proud of being strong. 100,000 cross grinds, broadswords have teams, charge from the front, break the array to kill thieves, use people's heads to get justice, and use blood to resist power. " How heroic this is, it shocked the Chinese people and frightened the thieves. In those years, discordant notes defamed Wu Tunan, Tai Ji Chuan master of Artest's older generation, appeared in Tai Ji Chuan Concerto. In fact, it is normal to have an opinion of someone in interpersonal relationships. Mr. Kong Lao once said: No one talks before people, no one talks after people, and the same is true in real life. However, for elders and individuals, speak objectively. Martial arts is very particular about martial arts, and speaking happily for a while is not necessarily harmful to the speaker. On the contrary, the speaker may pay the price of self-destruction. Mr. Wu Tunan has been engaged in sports for 70 or 80 years, and has made his own contribution to the inheritance, development, publicity and dissemination of China's traditional cultural heritage. Especially in the forty years after the founding of New China, the founders of the older generation of Tai Ji Chuan died one after another, and Master Wu Tunan became one of the fruitful representatives of modern Tai Ji Chuan. In his article, Mr. Zhou, Chairman of the Tai Ji Chuan Foundation of the United States, praised Wu Tunan as "leaning on the sky and turning around". It is indeed a strange peak in Tai Ji Chuan, with its peak ahead, and any slander is so powerless.
The Tai Ji Chuan Movement in China was not very well developed. Tai Ji Chuan people should follow the example of the older generation of master Tai Ji Chuan, strive to spread the traditional culture of China, improve the overall level of Tai Ji Chuan, and make our contribution to human health and scientific and technological development. Wu Tunan, who is over 100 years old, is still in high spirits, with a good face, clear mind, loud voice, bright ears and agile steps. He often goes to Tai Ji Chuan training classes for counseling and demonstration performances, and is also invited to give lectures in some units or universities. In order to spread the knowledge of longevity and Tai Ji Chuan, we have constantly received martial arts lovers from international friends and taught them martial arts, which has made positive contributions to promoting China's traditional martial arts and has been praised as a "Tai Chi master" at home and abroad. 1989 65438+ 10/0 died in Beijing. There are many students in Wu Tunan. The early apprentices are Ma Youqing and Shen Baohe (Singapore). Wu Tunan wrote Ma Youqing's A Study of Taiji Biography (The Commercial Press 1984). Disciple Leo Lee is the author of The True Solution of Taiji Chuan Racing (People's Sports Publishing House, 2005).
1974, the teacher officially accepted Yang Jiacang and Zhang as beginners to teach Tai Chi, back opening and swordsmanship.
After the death of Mr. 1989, in order to realize Mr. kloc-0' s last wish, carry forward Tai Ji Chuan's skills and inherit martial arts thoughts, his direct disciples Yang Jiacang and Zhang and their followers organized and established the Wushu Thought Research Association (hereinafter referred to as the Society) in May 1990. Mr. Liu Zhe, vice chairman of Chinese Wushu Association and chairman of Beijing Wushu Association, personally named the club and served as honorary president, with Mr. Yang Jiacang as the first president and Mr. Zhang as the first vice president.
