Among them, Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into old and new. The old one was created by Chen in the early Qing Dynasty. There are five original routines, also called thirteen potentials, and 1 set of long fists and 1 set of artillery hammers. Since Chen, after more than 300 years of study, I have accumulated a lot of experience, and constantly processed and refined the original gloves, and finally formed Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan (figure 1) 1 road and 2-road gloves that have been circulated in modern times. These two sets of boxing moves are carefully choreographed, with different speed and strength, posture, amount of exercise and difficulty, but they all conform to the principle of gradual progress and combining rigidity with softness. There are 83 types of Chen 1 Road Boxing, the main features of which are as follows: ① The strength of silk winding is obvious, and it is required to pay attention to the waist source everywhere, with the intention of running through the four tips (that is, hands and toes), and the action is curved and spiral, and it is necessary to "move inside and outside"; (2) Combining rigidity with softness, that is, it can play an inner strength that seems to be rigid but not rigid, soft but not rigid, and heavy and soft; ③ Action should be combined with breathing luck, which means "sinking into the belly" and "turning inward to the abdomen" when practicing the action, and sometimes making sounds (such as ho, ho, hush and blow) when exhaling to increase strength; (4) Slow and fast, that is, the movement is fast in transition and slow in boxing; ⑤ There are three boxing stands: high, medium and low. People who are weak and sick can practice high shelf, while those who are healthy can practice low shelf. Chen Er gloves, formerly known as gun hammers, are 7 1 style, and their main features are as follows: ① more foot shaking movements; ② The movement is faster, harder and more explosive than 1 road; ③ There are many movements of "jumping, jumping, flashing and prancing", which are magnificent. The second way is only suitable for young and middle-aged people and does not spread widely. Chen's new routine also has two kinds. One was created by Chen Youben (Chenjiagou Boxer). The order is the same as the old routine. The posture is smaller than the old routine, and the circle is smaller than the old routine. Removed some of the original difficult moves. People in Chenjiagou village call it "small circle boxing", and the old routine is called "big circle boxing". This kind of boxing was later spread, and he wrote "Illustration of Chen Shi Tai Ji Chuan", expounding the boxing experience accumulated by Chen Shi in past dynasties. Another routine of the new frame was created by Chen Qingping, a disciple of Chen Youben. It is characterized by compactness, slow movement, and gradually adding circles after practice, which is extremely complicated. Because it first spread in Zhaobao Town, wen county City, Henan Province, people called it "Zhaobao Frame". Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan is an ancient boxing, and other schools in Tai Ji Chuan (such as Yang-style, Wu-style, Wu-style and Sun-style) are all developed on the basis of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan.
Yang Luchan (1800 ~ 1873), a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province, Tai Ji Chuan, worked as an employee in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province when he was young. He studied in Tai Ji Chuan, and returned to Tai Ji Chuan in his prime because he was able to avoid and subdue powerful enemies. At that time, it was called "Mianmian Boxing", "Soft Boxing" and "Hua Quan". Yang Luchan went to Beijing to teach boxing, and all the princes and nobles in the Qing Dynasty learned from him. Excellent martial arts, known as "invincible Yang" at that time. Later, in order to meet the needs of ordinary boxers, Yang Luchan gradually deleted the original vigorous, vertical jump, shaking feet and difficult movements, and changed them from his son to the middle shelf, which was repeatedly revised by his grandson Yang Chengfu, so it was shaped into a Yang-style big shelf. Because of its simple and upright practice, it became the most popular Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan in modern times (Figure 2). Three generations of Yang's grandparents and grandchildren are famous in Beijing. After 1928, Yang Chengfu worked as an apprentice in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Hankou and other places, and his boxing style spread all over the country. Yang-style big shelf is characterized by simple stretching, smooth movement, flexible content, lightness and naturalness, and the movement steps are from loose to soft, which naturally presents a unique style with great style and beautiful image. Its posture is also divided into high, medium and low. The amount of exercise can be appropriately adjusted according to the different age, gender, physical condition and different requirements of boxing learners. Therefore, it is not only suitable for medical treatment and health care, but also suitable for people with good physical strength to strengthen their physique and improve their skills. 1957 was compiled into Tai Ji Chuan movement (88 style) according to the biography of Yang Tai, and 1963 published the biography of Yang Tai.
Quan You, Taiji Chuan Manchu, was born in Daxing, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty. At first, I learned from Yang Luchan the great shelf of Tai Chi Chuan, and later I learned from Yang Luchan's second son the small shelf, who was famous for being good at softening (Figure 3). His son changed his surname from Han nationality to Wu, and his name was. Wu inherited and taught boxing with continuity and wide adaptability. Because Wu modified the boxing style, later people called it Wu-style small shelf. In modern times, it has become a widely circulated Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan.
Wu has been spreading boxing in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time. His boxing style is round and relaxed. Although his posture is small, it has a great foundation, and it stretches itself from development to compactness. When pushing hands, he is correct, rigorous and delicate. Wu Shi Tai Ji Chuan was published in 1958.
Wu Yuxiang, Tai Ji Chuan of Wushi, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty, learned about Tai Ji Chuan from Yang Luchan, and then learned about the new Tai Ji Chuan, and got the Tai Ji Chuan score in Wuyang County. Therefore, according to his own experience in practicing boxing, he summed up the essentials of sports as the ten essentials of body posture. Wushu Tai Ji Chuan is characterized by its rigorous posture, compact posture, slow movement, rigorous footwork and clear distinction between reality and falsehood. The forward and backward rotation of the chest and abdomen is always positive, and the shape is mainly the transformation of excess and deficiency and the "internal gas latent rotation". The left and right hands are in charge of half the body, but the hands are not toes (Figure 4). Tai Ji Chuan, a martial art, was introduced to Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China, and then to Nanjing and Shanghai. 1963 published the book Wu's Taiji Biography.
Sun-style Tai Chi Sun Chuan Lu Tang, a native of Wanxian County, Hebei Province in the late Qing Dynasty, loved martial arts. He studied Xingyiquan first, then Bagua Palm, studied hard and practiced hard, and his kung fu was profound. In the early years of the Republic of China, he began to learn from Tai Ji Chuan, synthesized the strengths of various schools, and created his own Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan, and wrote Tai Ji Chuan Studies. Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan is characterized by freedom of advance and retreat, stretching and moving, and agility. When reversing, it is often connected by opening and closing, so it is also called "opening and closing Taiji Chuan" (Figure 5). The biography of Sun Tai Chi was published in 1957.
Zhao Bao Tai Ji Chuan is light and flexible.
Although the above six kinds of Tai Ji Chuan's moves and postures are different, the routine structure and action sequence are basically the same, and the purpose of practicing boxing is to strengthen the body and treat diseases. In addition to gloves, Tai Ji Chuan has his own pushers and equipment routines, such as Taiji sword and Taiji knife.
All Tai Ji Chuan have the meaning of fighting, and they can also keep in good health. Fighting and keeping in good health are two directions of Wushu development, among which Chen Tai Ji Chuan has higher requirements for basic skills.
