Tai Ji Chuan's good health care effect can only be achieved through long-term exercise. So what health care functions does Tai Ji Chuan have? Let's find out!
First, Tai Ji Chuan is very particular about the unity of nature and man, and the unity of form and spirit.
Tai Ji Chuan's combination of motion and static, seeking quietness in motion, resisting motion with quietness and seeking quietness in motion, make Tai Ji Chuan more in line with the principle of moderate exercise; At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan's unique intention of calming the mind makes it easier to calm down, which can effectively block the interference and adverse effects of excessive and intense seven emotions on qi and blood, and protect Shen Yuan from playing its normal role in regulating human physical and mental health.
Second, Tai Ji Chuan advocated "drawing air with intention and transporting the body with qi", emphasizing the relaxation of the whole body.
The internal boxing method of "training the mind, training the spirit and training the body" is unified inside and outside, forming a unique boxing method with the combination of rigidity and softness, moderate speed, mutual change of storage and development, and internal strength control, which is conducive to dredging the meridians. If the meridians are blocked, there will be unhealthy places, slow movements and poor blood flow, which will easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Third, Tai Chi has the function of self-massage.
In Tai Ji Chuan's movements, the twisting movement and virtual-real transformation formed by the rotation of the waist and the flexion and extension of limbs will have different pulling, squeezing and kneading effects on more than 300 acupoints all over the body. This is actually a kind of self-massage, which can play a role similar to acupuncture, dredge meridians, stimulate the internal qi of menstruation, strengthen the maintenance and contact of physiological functions of various tissues and organs, and make them in a coordinated and orderly state.
Fourth, Tai Ji Chuan's self-counseling and self-repair function.
Tai Ji Chuan's moderate and appropriate exercise will warm the whole body, increase the speed and intensity of meridian conduction, help pulse and qi run in the meridian system with endless internal and external circulation, help the meridians to be unblocked, make qi and blood fill the whole body, nourish viscera, nourish yin and yang, maintain and protect body functions, and increase the ability of disease resistance, evil resistance and self-repair.
Fifth, Tai Chi raises body and mind!
Tai Ji Chuan not only emphasizes physical relaxation, but also requires mental relaxation in the whole process of practicing boxing. Combining brain inhibition with excitement is also beneficial to psychological balance. So practicing Tai Ji Chuan is a very reliable way of health. As long as you keep practicing boxing every day, it can keep you healthy for a long time.
Six, Tai Ji Chuan attaches great importance to the human footwall skills training, which is conducive to the downward flow of qi and blood and the adjustment of the ups and downs of the human body.
"Excess in the upper body and decline in the lower body" refers to the symptoms of liver and kidney deficiency, yin deficiency and yang floating in the middle-aged and elderly people, such as increased blood pressure, insomnia and guilty conscience, chills and cold limbs, food stagnation and constipation.
As the saying goes, "people start from their legs when they are old", and people often have various ups and downs in middle age. Tai Ji Chuan is to strengthen the abdominal and lower limb movements. Because between the abdomen and the vital gate (that is, the lower abdomen) of the human body, it is the most critical and fundamental part for the human body to absorb and circulate qi and blood into refined blood.
Therefore, strengthening the movement of the lower abdomen, waist, crotch and lower limbs is the most basic link to promote digestion, absorption and blood circulation. Strong waist and legs, smooth natural blood flow, vigorous spirit and long duration, thus eliminating or avoiding the symptoms of "upper prosperity and lower decline".
