First, the basic attitude of the downward trend:

Starting posture: downward movement is usually a transition from other movements or movements, and you may be in another posture at the beginning. The most common thing is to start with a left squat or a right squat.

Footsteps: Downward footsteps are the key. Be steady and keep balance. Generally speaking, one foot moves slightly sideways, the other foot moves slightly inward, and the center of gravity naturally sinks.

Body posture: when squatting, the body sinks, but it does not squat excessively, maintaining a natural stretch state and keeping the body stable.

Second, the role of the downward trend:

Body Sinking: With the leg as the fulcrum, the body sinks naturally. Don't exceed your toes, so as not to put too much pressure on your knees.

Hip tightening: the hips are slightly inward, which helps to stabilize the center of gravity.

Keep your back straight: keep your back straight but not stiff, breathe naturally and smoothly, and maintain a comfortable state.

Arm movements: The upper arm is relaxed and natural, and the lower arm can make different gestures or turn around according to Tai Ji Chuan's expression to convey the strength and momentum of the body.

Third, the details of the action:

Physical coordination: the downward trend requires the upper and lower bodies to maintain coordination, and do not lean forward or backward too much to maintain overall balance.

Pay attention to the stability of the body: keep your feet in contact with the ground when squatting, keep your body stable and avoid losing your balance.

Smooth movement: try to make the movement smooth and natural, and the transition between movements should be coordinated and smooth, without sudden feeling.

Fourth, exercises and precautions:

Repeated practice: Tai Chi Chuan requires constant practice, and only through constant practice can we realize the inner mystery and skills.

Breathing regulation: pay attention to breathing naturally and smoothly when descending, and don't push too hard or hold your breath.

Be careful of your knee joint: If your knee joint is in trouble or injured, pay attention to the strength and angle of your knee when descending, so as not to aggravate the pain.

The downward trend of 85-style Tai Ji Chuan is one of the key movements in Tai Ji Chuan's routine, which requires meticulous skills and constant practice to master. It is important to be comfortable, relaxed and natural, and at the same time pay attention to the balance and stability of the body, so as to achieve the inner balance and power transmission that Tai Ji Chuan stresses.
