In order to deepen our understanding of Tai Chi, let's take a look at a sentence in Zhuzi school: "Tai Chi is like a tree. Branches, peanut leaves, endless. When you get the fruit, there is another truth. Life is not lacking, and life is going out, and it is an infinite Tai Chi that never stops. "
This tells us that Tai Chi is just like the growth of trees in nature. Its root is Tai Chi, Tai Chi forms fruit and Tai Chi is endless.
Tai Chi and Health Care As mentioned earlier, Tai Chi is the beginning of the universe, from which everything in the universe evolved, which is also inseparable from the health care of the human body.
As we all know, nothing in the world will happen for no reason, and the root cause is related to "fertilized eggs". Only when the external conditions are met can we develop ourselves. This is precisely the original motive force for the birth of new things. The Book of Changes calls this power "the vitality of Taiji", that is, "vitality".
There are too many such cases in life. Fertilized eggs, duck eggs, turtle eggs, snake eggs, insect eggs, eggs of humans and all animals, or fertilized corn seeds, cotton seeds, rice seeds, tree seeds and various strains will bear rich fruits under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. And the "essence" here is what we often call "Tai Chi Qi".
This "Tai Chi vitality" is not only the direct cause of the birth of new things, but also the basis and motivation for the development of new things.
Since it shoulders the role of motive force, this vitality must have certain energy, and its energy is directly related to the size and speed of new things. However, no matter how strong the driving force is, it will run out one day. When the vitality of Tai Chi is exhausted, it is also a time when new things are going to decline.
Another important feature of Taiji vitality is that it is invisible and has no image, and it will be manifested as different carriers in different things. However, no matter what the final performance is, it is still a fluid. For example, the blood (primary energy) in the human body never stops between arteries and veins, and the essence (primary energy) in the human body also gurgles. If once the blood stagnates, jams or regresses, or once the transmission stops, it is not conducive to physical and mental health, and even the living human body itself does not exist.
Enlightenment of taiji diagram on health care For taiji diagram, the circle with arc trend is probably the most familiar one. The human body is a unity with extremely precise and complicated structure. The circle wrapped in the outer layer tightly wraps the viscera, bones and muscles and blood of the body like the skin of the human body. When the human blood circulation is smooth and free, the skin will swell up like a leather bag. It is this arc movement that makes the life movement of human body in the best state.
Tai Chi Pisces has another feature. Black becomes white to the extreme, and white becomes black to the extreme. In the world, everything has this truth. In other words, if the human body wants to live a long life, it must reconcile the yin and yang in the body. Only in this way can the small universe of human body live in harmony with the external environment of the big universe.
Tai Chi Eye is the starting point of exercise. Whether you are walking with your legs crossed or sitting on the floor, all the movements of your whole body are driven by the movements of a certain part of your body, just like the gears on a clock, one ring is buckled with another. The key to all movements is to grasp the timing of Tai Chi eye transformation. As long as you do it with your heart, you will naturally achieve the purpose of reconciling yin and yang.
Looking at the Taiji diagram carefully, another feature is the Taiji curve, which is a two-way spiral, which is related to the strengthening of exercise and the growth of skills. How to understand it? Two-way spiral stretching can not only increase the amount of exercise, but also involve the outer skin and muscles, twist to the deep bones and muscles, and then further relate to various organs of the body, so that the whole body is in a state of motion, thus achieving the functions of activating the bones and muscles of the whole body and activating the organs of the whole body.
