Hu Puan, a Master of Chinese Studies, on the Name of Tai Ji Chuan I. Tai Ji Chuan
Although there are sporadic records about the origin of Taiji Chuan and who founded it, people can't really believe it. There are many debaters on this point. This paper only explains the significance of Tai Ji Chuan's naming by Tai Chi action theory, and there is no far-fetched mystery, and there is no vague influence of popular terms or songs in boxing. Whether it is in line with the original intention of the founder's name of Taiji Chuan, for the time being. To understand the explanation is just a metaphor for everyone. What is the reason for taking the word Tai Chi? Zhouyi? A copula, a copula cloud:? Easy to have Tai Chi means giving birth to two instruments, two instruments giving birth to four elephants, and four elephants giving birth to gossip. ? Let's explain these four sentences in simple words. Two instruments, four images and eight diagrams are all born of Tai Chi, and they are the driving force. The movement of two instruments and four images and eight diagrams is called Tai Chi. The universe is Tai Chi, the human body is Tai Chi, the belly of the human body is Tai Chi, the two bellies are two instruments, the hands and feet are four elephants, and the hands and feet have two sections of gossip. The power of the universe lies in Tai Chi, and the power of the human body also lies in Tai Chi. So Tai Ji Chuan's action is not the action of hands and feet, but the action of the waist, nor the action of the waist. Is the movement of the abdomen, the whole body is moving, the whole body is moving. Other kinds of sports, whether for hands, feet or body, must be the movements of all parts or unbalanced control. Tai Ji Chuan's action is not moving, but the whole body is moving. Therefore, moving without moving the whole body is not Tai Chi. The abdomen is the most central part of a person's whole body. The abdomen moved, and the waist, hands and feet all moved, almost. Other kinds of sports are hand sports, foot sports or body sports. In a certain part of the action, you must use strong force in a certain part to achieve the purpose of a certain part of the action. Tai Ji Chuan's action is only a little in the center of the launch (that is, abdominal action). Without violence, the whole body moves everywhere, the outside is extremely soft, the inside continues to exert strength, and the interest rate increases. Therefore, seeing that the shape of a nervous movement is not Tai Chi, knowing that the whole body movements and gentle movements are natural trends is a natural trend. Tai Ji Chuan is named Tai Ji Chuan, that is, Tai Chi is everywhere, in other words, the central movement is everywhere.
Hu Pu 'an, a master of Chinese studies, on Tai Ji Chuan II. Tai Ji Chuan's action.
As explained in the previous section, Tai Ji Chuan is full of central movements. However, without a detailed explanation, it is not easy to understand how to realize the central movement. Learn from Tai Ji Chuan? Loose? 、? Solid? 、? Coagulation? Two-word formula. What is loose, the body should be loose; What is a solid, gas should be a solid; What is coagulation? God wants to solidify. The body is loose, the gas is solid, and the spirit is condensed, and gradually the central movement can be achieved, but the language is not fine. If you know why, you must learn some boxing and experience it yourself. Is this still the case? Loose? 、? Solid? 、? Coagulation? Three words, respectively, explain the reasons why the central action can be realized, for the convenience of readers.
(a) the body should be loose
The simple explanation of pine nuts is that if you don't use force, you can't move naturally. If you focus on the difficult part, it will be uneven. Without any effort, follow the natural movement of the body and the whole body will move everywhere. And the average is the same, moving slowly towards the center. Over time, the movement of the center was successful. Therefore, beginners of Tai Ji Chuan must relax. Relaxation is the first step to learn from Tai Ji Chuan. If forced, it will react because of excessive circulation, which is harmful to the body. It's hard to work hard, so-called self-reliance. Clumsy power, though great, is a part of power, not one of them; If you don't use force, you are soft. The so-called heavy strength, though small, is all the strength you can get. Learning from Tai Ji Chuan has a long saying:? From development to tight binding? Developer, the action is not hard, the beam is tight, and the action reaches the center.

(2) the gas should be solid.
The simple explanation of fixed characters is that they are not loose, but loose is true. But if you are relaxed, the sick man who can't wear clothes will also boast of being relaxed. Although the body is not hard but the gas is not loose, the whole body can be integrated, and natural movements will be centered. Being solid is the second step to learn from Tai Ji Chuan. How to make the gas solid, that is, to sink the gas in the abdomen instead of floating on it, is different from taking a deep breath to enlarge the lungs as much as possible and pressing the diaphragm. When practicing boxing, your shoulders should droop, your elbows should droop and your waist should collapse. Over time, the true qi naturally sinks, so does the so-called guilty belly. The abdomen is actually solid, and the body has a center of gravity. No matter how the hands and feet move, the center of gravity is always in the abdomen; If you get the center of gravity, you can move freely, so if the sun is solid, your body is stable.
(3) God wants peace
The simple explanation of coagulation is that internal and external combination can coagulate and relax the body. If the inside and outside don't match, don't go where your heart yearns. Only internal and external harmony is the harmony of body and mind. Coagulation is the third step of Tai Ji Chuan. What is the combination of inside and outside? Shoulder and arm, elbow and knee, hand and foot are called external triad; The combination of heart and mind, mind and qi, qi and force is the combination of inner three and inner three, and Liuhe is the healthy body. If the body is upright, God can lift it.
Hu Pu 'an, a master of Chinese studies, on Tai Ji Chuan III. The value of Tai Ji Chuan in sports.
The purpose of exercise is to keep fit, be full of blood and energy. If we can get the three effects mentioned above through sports, we can do our best in sports, but we must be discriminators. Strong is different from fierce, strong action is peaceful, fierce and rude behavior is different from satiety and anger, satiety is a lasting righteousness, and anger is a temporary ceremony; Enrichment is not the same as carrying forward. Enrichment is an external form of sincerity, and development is seen in external fatigue. Real exercise should make the body strong but not fierce, full of qi and blood, not angry with qi and blood, full of energy but not carried forward. Although other sports have achieved rapid results, a little carelessness will inevitably lead to the disadvantages of fierce development. Tai Ji Chuan's sports, these two disadvantages can be said to be absolutely not. The action of Tai Chi is firstly to loosen the body, which has been loosened for a long time. Naturally, as for being strong or not, it is definitely not fierce; Secondly, gas is solid, and it has been solid for a long time. Nature, as for filling, is not full and absolutely not angry. Again, naturally it is full, but it is not full, and it is never carried forward. It has the advantages of sports without its disadvantages, and is very suitable for sports as its purpose. It is very different from those who exercise for the sake of sports. As far as sports are concerned, Tai Ji Chuan's sports seem to be superior to all sports. Not only the advantages and disadvantages mentioned above, it is obvious that all sports should have spacious venues and equipment and gather many people. You can still exercise every day when you are at school, and you can only exercise a few times when you leave school. Tai Ji Chuan sports, regardless of the size of the venue and the number of people, can be played without equipment. Other sports, such as football and running, are too intense for everyone to participate in, resulting in only a few specialized athletes. Such a few specialized athletes, in school, pay no attention to other kinds of homework and specialize in sports. People in China are getting weaker and weaker, which seems inappropriate. Ordinary sports, it is impossible to rely on a few specialized athletes. Excellent performance in vertical sports can increase international prestige, but it can't enhance domestic people. No matter how intense the exercise is, only people in their twenties and thirties can participate, and they will retire at the age of forty or fifty. A person's working time is not only ten years, so the demand for sports is not limited to twenty to thirty years old. And exercise is too intense, which is harmful to your health. After every big sports meeting, there are always some big athletes who feel unwell. Therefore, sports in Tai Ji Chuan have three advantages: first, it is economical and does not need large venues and equipment; Second, everyone can exercise, which is universal; Third, you can exercise at all ages, which is permanent. Sports belong to sports, of course, other kinds of sports also have value of existence. In small and weak China, we should advocate increasing national glory and exercising for sports. Admittedly, there is something to be reckoned with in Tai Ji Chuan's sports, but it is still quite difficult for Tai Ji Chuan to learn. Although valuable in sports, it is actually difficult to develop. Major? One? Gradually? Sanning said, in order to learn the secret of Tai Ji Chuan, but it is not the scope of the topic, I won't talk about it.
