The Thirteen Potential of Taiji is the basic skeleton of Tai Ji Chuan, which runs through all the moves of Tai Ji Chuan. In other words, all the moves of Tai Ji Chuan are made up of one or more of the thirteen potentials.
There are no fixed moves in the thirteen potentials, but certain moves and moves can be formed according to the thirteen potentials, which is the result of the movement against the enemy. Therefore, "Tai Chi is impossible, and exercise is regular."
Tai Ji Chuan's founder is based on the changes of the eight diagrams in the Book of Changes, and explored with the natural principles in boxing.
By observing the way that Yin eliminates Yang, Yang eliminates Yin, Yin does not leave Yang, Yang does not leave Yin, and the coexistence of Yin and Yang, as well as their endless and overly popular movement characteristics and significance, Tai Ji Chuan's "Thirteen Potential" was applied to boxing righteousness and boxing theory, and Tai Ji Chuan's "Thirteen Potential" was created. It is very important to clarify the overall meaning of the thirteen potentials, which will deepen the understanding of Tai Ji Chuan's connotation.

Matters needing attention in the thirteen potential of Taiji
1, major in psychology
When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, you should concentrate on it. You must concentrate, and your thoughts should be injected into all parts of your body, even your middle finger and abdomen.
A set of boxing takes about 15 minutes, 83 formulas and hundreds of moves. It is well arranged and coherent, so you must not think about it. Playing Tai Ji Chuan emphasizes the intention of concentration, and every action should be reflected in the boxing.
If you can't concentrate, you will have problems and you won't be able to fight. Some people say that walking is the best way to exercise. In fact, you can continue to think when you walk, and it is difficult to be quiet. Tai Ji Chuan is the best way to get quiet.
2. Loose and soft
The biggest feature of Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense is "turning attack into fight". I'll try my best to melt it when the other party comes to me. Be tolerant, let the other side lose balance, and don't kill the enemy.
Combine chemical and physical skills, especially the low rack passed by Chen Taiji, because the low rack has greater capacity. Chen Fake emphasized "conformity". Teacher Chen Zhaoxu said that the four pieces should be relaxed, that is, the shoulders and hips must be relaxed. The whole body can be relaxed, which is convenient to accommodate and melt.
3, light and heavy
Punch must be light and heavy, especially when the hand is up, the waist and crotch must be loose, that is, everything must be played, such as the golden rooster is independent, the right hand is raised, and the left crotch must be heavy, just like the tree must grow high and the roots must be deep.
Tai Ji Chuan contains many symmetrical relations, which are contradictory and unity of opposites. When practicing, we should master the movement law of Tai Ji Chuan, so that it is easy to practice.
If you change your center of gravity again, you must walk down the arc with your crotch and hold the ground tightly with your five toes. Forward winding becomes reverse winding, and reverse winding becomes forward winding. Be sure to collapse your hands when you go through customs. When the palm collapses, the elbows should droop, the shoulders should be heavy, and the hips should be loose. When setting the formula, you must spiral down and sink while exhaling.
