Chen Tai Ji Chuan, one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan, is divided into three types: old school, new school and small school. About 1600~ 1680 was created by Chen in the early Qing Dynasty. The following is what I arranged for you: Welcome to read!

1, combining rigidity with flexibility

Stiffness and softness are opposites. However, Chen Taiji's biography really achieved the combination of rigidity and softness in the whole routine. One move, one potential, both rigidity and flexibility, both rigidity and flexibility, reaching the standard of both rigidity and flexibility. Why should Tai Ji Chuan's strength be based on combining rigidity with softness? Because there is rigidity but no softness, it lacks toughness and is easy to break and brittle; Only soft but not hard power has no practical value because it has lost its explosive power. Only by combining rigidity with softness can we have higher practical significance. Chen: "This is art, and it can't be described as softness or rigidity. Can only be called Tai Chi. Taiji people are both rigid and soft, and there is no trace. "

2. Fast and slow

The alternation of speed and speed is a remarkable feature of Chen Tai Ji Chuan. In order to reflect Tai Ji Chuan's sense of rhythm, the boxing speed should be fast and slow, that is, fast and slow, fast and slow. Not only a set of boxing techniques is fast and slow, but also a boxing posture and even an action must be fast and slow. This boxing is neither tiring nor uneven, and it is easy to arouse interest, so that you can be lively, sweaty and not panting. From the point of view of attack and skill, this method of alternating fast and slow practice is conducive to strengthening the combination of buffering force and explosive force in the process of releasing elastic force and confusing the enemy. As Chen Xin said, "Deception and seduction are only for one round." Of course, in the process of learning and practicing boxing, the speed can be adjusted by the boxer himself. For example, one-way boxing is slower than two-way boxing; When practicing boxing, slow, strong, fast; Slow when practicing routines, fast when practicing singles. Practice boxing must be slow. Only when you are slow can you get your movements in place, your strength in place and show it everywhere. Practice the single style must be fast, you can practice speed and strength quickly to increase your skills. Moreover, we should pay attention to slow, fast and slow. Be slow but not dull, fast but not lost, fast but not chaotic, fast without losing the strength of silk, fast without losing the movement, light without forgetting the weight; Fast without losing composure, slow without interruption.

3. Combination of Yin and Yang

Everything in the universe has yin and yang, and they all have the properties of opposition, mutual root and growth and decline. This is the law of motion in which infinity begets Tai Chi, Tai Chi begets two instruments, two instruments begets four images, four images begets eight diagrams, and eight diagrams begets sixty-four hexagrams and even infinity. Everyone in the world is bound by this law. This law also exists in the human body and the relationship between man and nature. The regularity of this periodic movement exists in human physiology, pathology, growth and death. Yin and Yang and Five Elements are the theoretical basis of Tai Ji Chuan's creation, so in the process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, Yin and Yang will be reflected everywhere. Only by persisting in hard practice and achieving a balance between yin and harmony can we reach a truly high level and give full play to Tai Ji Chuan's real role. As Chen Xinzhi's incisive assertion said, "... only when the five yin and five yang are combined, the impartiality of yin and yang is the skillful hand, and Tai Chi disappears by hand. I don't know where it was attacked. "

4, both internal and external repair

Guided breathing is a long-standing fitness technique in China, which was recorded in the works of Laozi and Mencius as early as several hundred BC. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Liu An, the son of Huainan, edited Six Birds Play, while Hua Tuo, a famous doctor at the end of Han Dynasty, changed Five Birds Play. He imitated animals' movements, such as moving, shaking, bending, leaning, looking and jumping, combined with breathing movements, and exercised for health care, which was the predecessor of qigong and internal work and the basis of Taoist health care. Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan organically combines guidance, breathing, breathing with coordinated movements of hands, eyes, posture and footwork, and becomes an internal boxing with both internal and external exercises. This not only plays a good role in strengthening the body, but also is a creative development to improve boxing fighting skills.

5. Spiral winding

Tai Ji Chuan's power of winding silk refers to a spiral rotating power in the process of making an arc when hitting Tai Ji Chuan. Silk-winding strength is the essence of Tai Ji Chuan. Tai Ji Chuan can overcome great strength with small strength and slow down and accelerate because of silk-winding strength. Silk winding strength is a special training method of Chen Tai Ji Chuan. Chen's "General Song of Boxing Classics" begins with two sentences: "I don't know how to bend and stretch, it's all about pestering me." It means this winding force. Chen taiji combined the theories of mechanics and meridian science and adopted the luck method of spiral winding. In terms of attack and defense, we should take small measures against big ones and weak measures against strong ones. Physiologically speaking, meridians refer to the channels of qi and blood all over the human body, starting from the viscera and flowing to the limbs. If the qi and blood of zang-fu organs, meridians and collaterals are not in harmony, diseases will occur, and if the yin and yang are not in harmony, the qi and blood will be smooth, thus strengthening the body and prolonging life. Tai Ji Chuan combined the theory of meridians, taking boxing and guiding qi as the exterior and interior, and the boxing posture adopted the spiral winding silk-like telescopic rotation, demanding: "Breathe air with intention, transport the body with qi". The internal qi originates from the abdomen, runs through it with the waist as the axis, and rotates slightly, so that the kidneys in the lumbar gap are exchanged left and right, and it is distributed throughout the body by rotating the waist and the spine. Tongren, Du Mai, the upper movement turns wrist to arm, the lower movement turns ankle to knee, reaching four ends and returning to Dantian. The action is arc-shaped, round and coherent, with one stroke and one potential, connecting the preceding with the following, in one go. This systematic method of luck is very consistent with the meridian theory, and it is also not available in other boxing and sports.

6. the combination of consciousness, breathing and action

Chen and Tai Ji Chuan's internal and external skills are both internal and external, and the movements of internal boxing are all carried out under the guidance of consciousness. Chen Xin said on boxing: "Boxing is the main thing." "The wonderful machine comes from the heart." "It's really a trick to be lucky." "The heart is the mainstay, and the five senses are all from it." "Q: Executive Master? Say: the master is in his heart, and if he wants to change the execution from left to right in his heart, then the left and right hands will change the execution; If the heart wants to turn smoothly with the power of winding silk, the left and right hands should turn smoothly with the power of winding silk; The heart wants to sink the elbow and press the shoulder, and the elbow sinks the shoulder; The heart wants to close the chest and abdomen, the waist collapses and the crotch opens, while the chest closes, the waist stops and the crotch opens, which is not satisfactory; The heart should bend its knees, both knees should bend, the right foot should follow the right hand, the left foot should follow the left hand, and the left and right feet of both knees should follow, otherwise it will be full of flaws and exhaustion, and this official has to obey the heart. Therefore, I said, "The heart is the master of execution. "The above is the relationship between thought and action. Another cloud says, "Boxing regulates qi and blood, naturally breathes ... keep breathing, exercise solid internal strength, and pay attention to the entrance. ..... execute gently, stop silently, but execute consciously. "Therefore, there is a close relationship between consciousness, breathing and exercise. When walking on the shelf, every move is under the command of the nurse, and the coordinated movements of hands, eyes, posture and footwork are organically combined with breathing, so as to open the breath and let nature take its course, so that the mind will not make you angry and the movements will be gentle and become a unified internal boxing action. ?
