1, source and flow direction

Wudang Taiyi five elements boxing (formerly known as Wudang Taiyi Wuxing Dun 23) is one of the main boxing types of Wudang Wushu.

1929, 24-year-old Aisingiorro Puhuan (Chinese name Jin Mi) lived in Zixiao Palace for more than seven months, and inadvertently spied that Li Helin was practicing Taiyi five elements boxing and wanted to learn from him. Due to the rules and regulations, Li Daochang flatly refused. However, Mr. Jin Zimao's attitude was sincere, he burned incense and worshipped the teacher, and knelt down in front of the statue of Emperor Xin, vowing never to teach his lessons. Finally, he moved Li Helin, the head of Zixiao School, and let him learn this set of boxing, and practiced it all his life, and realized the true meaning.

1980 and 198 1, teacher Jin Mi of Zhejiang team practiced this boxing twice in Taiyuan and Shenyang, and made it public, which aroused widespread concern in martial arts circles and won high praise. In order to explore, sort out, study and popularize this set of roads, Wuhan Sports Commission set up a sorting group and invited Mr. Jin Zimao to give lectures in China. During this period, danjiangkou city Sports Commission invited Jin Lao to Wudang Mountain for many times to visit Wang Jiaohua, talk about wudang boxing and hold classes to teach.

The five elements of Taiyi are indispensable, and there are successors who follow the previous biography and revive Wudang fitness, which is better than the teenagers in Huangshan. "

2. Working principle

The ancient sages of China abstracted five kinds of substances with different properties from the material world, namely, water, fire, wood, gold and earth, which are called "five elements" as the elements of all things. Then, through the relationship between the five elements, the law of interdependence and mutual restriction between things is explained.

Taiyi, the vitality is also. A person's life depends entirely on his true qi. Wudang Wushu predecessors are based on traditional cultural theory. With the concepts of yin and yang, five elements, eight diagrams and nine palaces, this paper combines the five elements with boxing style and human body to explain its boxing theory and exercise law.

First, the basic boxing is based on the shape, performance and orientation of the five elements, forming a five-element system, which is the basic element of each boxing shape, such as the five orientations of the human body. The five elements of "advance, retreat, left concern, right look and middle determination" are defined as the five elements. Taiyi five elements boxing followed closely the theory of five elements in action arrangement and action route, and walked through Jiugong in an orderly way.

Second, combine the human body with the five elements. Commonly used is the five elements with five internal organs, and the internal and external five elements are interrelated, which is also related to martial arts. "The inner five elements should be combined and the outer five elements should be smooth." "Heart and interest depend on each other, let it go naturally", and adjust the balance of Yin and Yang according to the number of five elements. People have yin and yang, forming five elements, taking reason as the guide, taking health preservation as the purpose and martial arts as the final learning. It embodies the Taoist view of "harmony between man and nature" and is intended to pursue nature and return to simplicity. "Taking quietness as the foundation, taking softness as the shape", the organic combination of health preservation and martial arts is the basic guiding ideology of Taiyi five elements boxing.

Third, standardize boxing with the principle that the five elements are mutually generated and mutually restrained. Taiyi five elements boxing grinds around the ring, looking around, dividing into five elements of yin and yang, stepping on gossip and wearing Jiugong. "make the force go, the posture follows; Where is the posture, the strength is the note. " One stroke and one potential permeates Yin and Yang, changing in the Eight Diagrams array, changing in the Taiji circle and the four directions, forming a pattern of nine palaces passing through; Embrace your hands, hold your feet up, rotate your waist with your hips, shoulder to hip, and twist your hips and arms. At the abbot's place, the flowing water is endless, and according to the meaning of the five elements (circulation), the vitality is spread all over the body, so that the internal qi is smooth and convergent, which is conducive to the formation of internal forces. This internal and external unity is the refinement and sublimation of the unity of man and nature. This is the purpose of cultivation, that is, to keep fit and defend yourself from the enemy.
