One: the heart is empty and quiet.

"Practicing boxing must start from infinity, and the opening and closing of Yin and Yang is serious." This is a highly summarized and profound summary of Taiji Yin-Yang philosophy and Tai Ji Chuan theory by senior Tai Ji Chuan scholars, which is of universal guiding significance for how to practice Tai Ji Chuan well.

Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of movement that seeks motion in stillness, seeks quietness in motion, and combines motion with motion, with virtual quietness as the noumenon and virtual quietness as the extreme. Whether it is to seek infinite static and dynamic first, or to seek static in the movement of boxing and walking; Whether it is the spiritual root of health preservation or the dynamic and static factors of pushing hands, it is inseparable from the word "virtual quietness", which runs through the whole process, that is, it begins with quietness and returns to quietness. It can be said that the degree of quietness reflects the level of Tai Chi Kung Fu practitioners, and the improvement of Tai Ji Chuan Kung Fu depends on the depth of quietness. In this sense, Kongjing Kung Fu is Tai Ji Chuan Kung Fu, which is all-encompassing and all-encompassing. As the Boxing Classic says: "It is not surprising that when the spirit of Taihe is quiet, it is not quiet."

Virtual silence, first of all, the mind can be virtual silence. The heart is the master of the whole body. If the heart can be quiet, everyone will be quiet. If the heart is empty, the whole body is empty, and the five senses are free. Only when the body and mind are quiet can God be at peace, and God is the God in the heart. When you are calm, you will stop thinking and return to your qi. There is no thought and nothing. There is an ethereal body inside and outside, with qi in the middle and ethereal in it, waiting for it to move.

Waiting for it to move has three meanings: first, waiting for the "machine" to move, in the static state without poles or before boxing, that is, the innate machine starts, and the pneumatic is too healthy. At this time, it is best to start practicing boxing. Second, when boxing, when one situation is over, wait for the "potential" of the next situation to move, that is, it will be very quiet when moving, and there will be a pre-action trend in the static. If the internal gas can be transported to a sufficient degree, the next situation will naturally jump, there will be circulation and circulation; Pay special attention here, don't give up halfway. The third is to wait for the "other" to move when pushing the hand, that is, to give up and follow others and not move; He moved a little, but he moved first. When pushing hands, if the body and mind can be calm, the spirit will be solid, the spirit will not be scattered, and the spirit will be United, which means that people are the first, and they will feel sensitive. People don't know me, but I know some people alone, so they will be the first to arrive.

Tai Ji Chuan's practice is not only to seek quietness in motion, but also to seek quietness in motion, that is, to move and be quiet, depending on the motion. After the fist moves are skillful, smooth, coherent and coordinated, you should calm down, plan to take a chance, start gently, execute slowly, stop silently, meditate on the opening and closing of Yin and Yang, listen to the secrets, watch the heroic spirit, and feel all your limbs. "I don't know if I am for myself, but I am for myself", and gradually reached the beginning.

Tai Ji Chuan's kungfu includes two aspects, one is the health-preserving kungfu of getting rid of illness and prolonging life, and the other is the martial arts of strengthening body and self-defense. Only by unifying them can the effectiveness of Tai Ji Chuan be brought into play. The fundamental reason why Tai Ji Chuan has a remarkable health preserving effect is that he always keeps the emptiness of his mind. Whether it is standing pile, living pile, individual exercise or routine exercise, we should concentrate our thoughts, keep calm and calm, and concentrate on "naturally opening and closing of Yin and Yang, secretly and naturally executing", so as to gradually achieve the effect of training people to stay still in sports. The more you practice, the more you forget yourself, the more active your spirit will be, so that your brain can get a full rest and eliminate fatigue. Therefore, boxing and practice are always the first. It can also be called "general program".

The second part is an introduction to Chen Tai Ji Chuan's theory: without hesitation.

The way of Tai Chi is the doctrine of the mean, impartiality and transcendence. Although boxing is a way, it is based on the right path of Tai Chi. No matter from the inside out, from the spirit to the shape, from the body to the use, all yin and yang should be selected, selected when opening and closing, starting from it when closing, and changing from it when it is actual or false. In short, they should do it in a neutral way, so that the whole body can be connected with Qi and the whole body can communicate with the inside and outside. If you are impartial, you are not afraid of being pushed down by others. If you don't override everything, you won't be guilty of coping, plaque and resistance. If you are full of gas, everything will fit.

Impartiality, without exception, is called "righteousness" "Boxing is originally a physical preparation method", and the embodiment of body posture is upright and unbiased. From top to bottom, inside and outside the body level.

Among them, the meaning of the body is the main one, supplemented by the meaning of the limbs, which affects the meaning of the body. Therefore, it is the righteousness of the whole body. The human body is divided into three segments, the upper limb is the tip segment, the body is the middle segment and the lower limb is the root segment; Five bows in the whole body, two bows in two arms, two bows in two legs and one bow in the whole body. If the three energy-saving devices are combined into one section and the five bows are integrated, the whole is impartial.

One is "the head is weak." The head is the head of the six yang, the master of the whole body, and the normal body of the head naturally condenses; When the neck is vertical, the two ribs in the back of the head are naturally vertical, and between the two ribs in the back of the head is the way to assist the upper and lower circulation of middle qi; If the top strength is empty, the whole spirit will naturally be drawn up and the gas will be absorbed at the top. Deficiency leads to deficiency, which has nothing but meaning. If it is excessive, the qi stays in the brain; If it is insufficient, qi will stay in the chest and become ill over time.

The second is "chest deficiency, upper deficiency and lower deficiency". The heart should be empty, the chest should be empty, the guilty heart should be empty, the diaphragm drops, the left and right ribs sink, and the abdomen is naturally full; When the qi sinks in the abdomen, the upper body is empty and the lower body is solid, and the upper body is loose and round, while the * * * is rock-solid but calm, then the turbid qi naturally falls to the soles of the feet, and the clear qi naturally rises to the top of the heart, clear and turbid, and distinguishes yin and yang.

The third is to "close the waist and hips and make the spine vertical." The waist is the hinge of * * *, and it should be loose and empty, and it will collapse only if it is loose and empty; If you break down, you must fold your hips. If your hips don't converge, you won't collapse. Don't forget to mention the perineum when you are near your hips, so that it won't leak when you lift it; Bend down and close your hips, your waist will be strong, your upper body will be weak, your lower body will live, your * * * will be calm, and all your strength will be put into your abdomen; When the buttocks are closed, the sacrum is strong and the tail is centered. With the virtual collar jacking up, the spine is naturally aligned vertically, and the life gate of the lower back is naturally opened. The middle qi enters the spine and goes up to the perineum. When the first thread is worn, the body is ready.

The fourth is "two shoulders loose, shoulders sink and elbows fall". Whether the two arms can turn in circles on the two shoulders, which are the hinges of the two arms, can't be loosened, and customs clearance will not work; Shoulders should be relaxed and drooping. After working for a long time, the seam will open itself and the arm will hang on the shoulder. If the neutral gas is injected into the seam between the two shoulders, the shoulders sink, and if the seam between the two arms is removed from the seam between the two shoulders, the two arms are calm and weak; If you sink your shoulders, you must put down your elbows. Don't drop your elbows, don't sink your shoulders, and you're lifeless. The strength of your whole body cannot be combined, which will affect the center of your body. Elbow dropping helps to sink shoulders, and the three energy-saving aspects of shoulders, elbows and hands are connected. When reaching the fingertips, the arms are arched. In short, no matter how your arms and hands exert their strength, you should sink your shoulders and bend your elbows up or down, left or right.

The fifth is "sitting on your knees and facing vertically". The hinge of the leg is in the crotch. The importance of two hips goes far beyond this. Whether the waist strength can be penetrated, whether the whole body can be combined, whether it can follow up and down, whether it can be penetrated by middle qi, whether it can be true or false, whether the whole body can be straight, and whether it can be flat from left to right, are all on both hips.

Hip is related to waist, so it is called "waist and hip". First, loosen the two crotch parts, and then the crotch will be round. That's what the so-called open crotch means. Loose hips are not forks. If the crotch seam is not loosened, the crotch will not be round even if the legs are bifurcated. The information of the crotch is on both sides of the scrotum of the external kidney. The crotch is round and elastic, and the upper and lower parts can also be together. Sit with your legs relaxed. If you can sit on your legs, you can step on the ground and grasp it naturally, and the breath naturally and steadily falls to the soles of your feet. The so-called "sitting without sitting" is right here. If the feet can't dry, they must be adjusted from the crotch. It is also necessary to be able to fall, sit on the hip for the truth, fall on the hip for the emptiness, be located for the truth, and be neutral. The center of gravity is tied here first, and then to the soles of the feet. Kneeling is sitting in the crotch. If your crotch can sit, you can bend your knees naturally. Don't just bend your knees without sitting on your hips. The height of the knees depends on the sitting posture of the hips. They must always be vertically opposite, leaving room for stretching and bending. Don't bend your knees, your hips and hips are lower than your knees, and the tips of your knees are beyond your toes. If there are too many, it will be unfair and easy to be controlled by others. After that, the customs clearance is invalid and I am at a loss; If you pass, your knees will be damaged, and if you pass, you will get sick; If you pass, you will hold your breath and it will be difficult to penetrate the soles of your feet; If you cross it, the road will be broken and you will not be complete. In a word, three legs must be "six broken". Hip, knee and foot seem to be broken and connected together, and the shape is broken and inline. If the neutral gas is injected into the bone marrow of the lower limbs, the legs will arch.

Chiang Kai-shek was impartial. In fact, "what is invisible is what God naturally wins." The middle qi permeates the heart and kidney, passes through the spine and travels in the bone marrow of the limbs. The integrity of the heart is naturally impartial, and the strength is naturally unattainable. Timing is also positive, and oblique time is also positive. For example, the formula of "hitting the ground and slapping" is inclined, but the legs form an inclined straight line from top to bottom, and the gas runs through, and the inclination is positive. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek is impartial. "With the lofty spirit in my heart, it is transported to everything. Although my body sometimes leans, it has the spirit of Chiang Kai-shek to kill it." One breath up and down, one breath of air inside, naturally impartial. Boxing practice should be based on this principle, regardless of standing pile, living pile, walking position and walking position, it should be impartial and impartial.
