Therefore, the balance and coordination between the health of five zang-organs and the physiological functions of zang-organs is the key to maintain the relative stability of the internal and external environment of human body. At the same time, maintaining a good emotional state can stabilize the normal activities of the internal organs. Tai Ji Chuan sports use guidance, pranayama, psychological exercise, etc. Maintain the normal function of viscera, coordinate the internal and external relations, and achieve the purpose of health care and disease prevention.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the blood vessels and the mind, and poor operation and insufficient blood will affect the function of the heart. And Tai Ji Chuan is talking about taking the heart as the conductor, guiding the qi with the body, and letting the gas go, so as to promote blood circulation, that is to say, "qi stagnation in the whole body" in the theory of boxing. On the other hand, meditation is good for nourishing blood and calming the nerves.
According to the research of modern people, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, the action of cyclic stretching makes the muscles of the whole body contract and relax rhythmically, which makes the blood flow smooth and the venous reflux increase, thus speeding up the blood circulation, reducing the burden on the heart, and playing a health care role for both the human body and the heart.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the functions of spleen governing transport and transformation, stomach governing reception and liver governing discharge affect the normal movement of qi and the normal digestive function of human body. Tai Ji Chuan made the muscles in the chest, diaphragm, abdomen, back and waist contract and relax regularly and rhythmically through centering, lifting, expanding rotation and the coordination of internal qi. This guiding method not only makes the internal organs get "self-massage", but also guides the ascending and descending of qi, thus regulating the transportation and transformation of spleen, the intake of stomach and the excretion of liver. Other digestive systems also have the function of preventing and treating diseases.
At the same time, the spleen controls muscles, digests and absorbs normally, supplements the nutrition of musculoskeletal, exercises muscle joints through exercise guidance, and recovers the pain of the exercise system.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lung is responsible for breathing, taking the pulse, and has the function of dispelling depression. If you have lung disease, it will cause cough, excessive phlegm, poor breathing, Su Xuan's dysfunction and weakened external defense function. At first, Tai Ji Chuan asked for "deep, long, thin and even" natural breathing, and then he had to "sink into the abdomen", so as to exercise respiratory muscles, improve chest activity, maintain the elasticity of lung tissue and increase vital capacity.
Tai Ji Chuan's requirement of "relaxing and purifying abdominal qi" may increase pore ventilation and develop defensive qi, which is beneficial to dispersing lung qi and promoting pulse function.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence, controls water and qi, and the renal function is out of balance (mainly yin-yang qi-blood imbalance), and Yuan-yin and Yuan-yang are damaged, which affects human growth and reproductive function. If the kidney's function of controlling water is abnormal, the whole body water will be replaced abnormally. Taijiquan requires "pay attention to the waist gap". First of all, the kidney should be "self-massaged" through action guidance. After exercise, digestive function is enhanced and metabolism is accelerated. Through breathing and practicing qi, the acquired essence and ancestral qi will be fully supplemented, and then Yuan Yin and Yuanyang in the kidney will be supplemented, which is the so-called innate power of nurturing after practice.
At the same time, it is beneficial to the main water function of kidney transpiration and gasification by guiding the rise and fall of triple energizer. Taiji's practice of cultivating and storing qi is itself a practice of accepting qi from the Lord. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan can also play a very good role in physical therapy for patients with kidney disease as mentioned in Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine studies meridians, including meridians, collaterals, the twelve meridians and twelve skins. Taiji Zhuan is based on the two veins of Tongren Governor, which requires that "qi should be transported to the whole body, such as nine curved beads", and also says that "qi should be transported to the whole body and originated from the hair". Therefore, under the guidance of Tai Ji Chuan, the qi and blood in the meridians are naturally regulated, making it run smoothly without stagnation.
This can eliminate pathogenic factors such as meridian qi and blood disorder and meridian qi and blood disorder. People who have practiced boxing for many years can make qi from meridians-meridians-skin, from inside to outside and from outside to inside. Over time, it can improve the relationship between human microcirculation and viscera, accelerate human metabolism, and thus achieve the goal of good health.
