Tell me about the real Tai Ji Chuan.

Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of boxing. In ancient times, boxing was a technique used in combat. Boxing can be divided into inner family and outer family; There are many kinds of boxing, but in the past, the same thing was that it had to mean fighting. If it can't be used in martial arts, it can't be called boxing. Boxing is a carrier, which can carry different ideas and cultures and become a unique boxing. In today's society, boxing has been endowed with a spirit and a culture. Boxing is a technique, not just a shelf or routine. It must be distinguished from gymnastics or dancing. It must have a perfect action curve on the basis of human physiology in order to reflect the charm of boxing. Therefore, there is a saying that any kind of boxing is "a thousand miles away".

Taiji is a philosophical concept, the crystallization of human civilization in China and the foundation of traditional culture in China. Taiji diagram is an apt summary of Taiji image. From the Tai Chi map, Tai Chi is a black and white circle, commonly known as "Yin and Yang fish". The two fish embrace each other and go back and forth. White fish have black eyes, while black fish have white eyes, which means "Yin has Yang, Yang has Yin". It maintains the balance of yin and yang. Therefore, in Tai Ji Chuan, we must be able to embody the theory of Yin and Yang of Taiji, and we need to know how to keep the changes of Yin and Yang in all parts of the body and how to realize "Yang in Yin, Yin in Yang". Tai Ji Chuan's Tai Ji Chuan is a combination of Taiji thought and boxing. He takes boxing as the carrier and shows Tai Chi culture and thoughts with actions. So it is not unreasonable for some people to call Tai Ji Chuan "Zhequan". Therefore, since she is called "Tai Ji Chuan", she must have two meanings: "Taiji" and "Boxing", that is, the theory of Yin and Yang of Taiji must be integrated into Boxing, so that she can be called the real Tai Ji Chuan. Instead of slowly doing something that looks like boxing, it's Tai Ji Chuan.

According to all Tai Ji Chuan's classical boxing theories, Tai Ji Chuan was founded on the basis of "Taiji Yin-Yang Theory", combined with the theory of meridians and bones of traditional Chinese medicine, and combined with Taoist techniques of guiding qi and breathing. Therefore, the real core of Tai Ji Chuan is a life double-cultivation boxing based on the theory of Taiji Yin and Yang, the theory of meridians and bones in traditional Chinese medicine as the physiological basis, the guided breathing method in Taoism as the practice method, and the martial arts boxing frame as the carrier. In addition, let's take a look at the classic theory of Taiji Biography. The characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan Movement are: running through, not losing the top, combining rigidity with softness, avoiding reality and being empty, and so on.

According to the above, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan or teaching Tai Ji Chuan, you must understand several principles:

First, every movement should fully meet the requirements of the classic boxing theory and principle when Tai Ji Chuan was founded, that is, every movement and every move should have the principle of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and the whole body, hands, feet and back should be clear from reality, from virtual to real, from virtual to real and from real to real. Even the simplest hand is open, in fact, both open and closed. If you don't know the principle of yin and yang, you can't call it Tai Chi.

Second, every movement must conform to the principle of the best stress point of human bones in order to ensure the patency of meridians. Tai Ji Chuan, a famous master, said in his book Chen Shi Tai Ji Chuan Commentary that it is very important to practice Tai Ji Chuan. "Joint alignment" is actually to match the best stress state of human bones. Because the best stress state matching the human skeleton in the boxing frame is to directly integrate Gong Zhuang into the boxing frame, which is consistent with Tai Ji Chuan's previous statement that he should practice step by step. At this time, the position of the hand, the position of the foot and the direction of the body are sometimes less than one centimeter. As the saying goes, "thousands of miles away". Only with these specific requirements of position, angle and direction in the boxing frame can we explain that boxing is essentially different from gymnastics and dance! The so-called boxing 10 thousand times shows its magical power, that is, hitting the right fist, and the radio exercise can't turn the fist for a lifetime.

Third, every action should reflect inheritance, because inheritance is the most striking feature of Tai Ji Chuan. Many people know that there is a saying in "On Boxing" that "it is rooted in the foot, originated from the leg, dominated by the waist, and shaped by the finger", but it is not a simple matter to integrate knowledge with practice. First of all, we should know the true meaning of these two sentences, which are rooted in our feet. The key is how to have roots. If you don't match the best stress state of the bones in the boxing frame, it is difficult to have roots. At the same time, because the joints are wrong, there is no way to penetrate one by one, so there is no way to reflect continuity. In addition, the key points of thorough work are paragraph by paragraph, that is to say, there is a real change when thorough work is done. For example, when the elbow is solid, the shoulder should change from solid to virtual, and when it runs through the hand, the elbow will change from solid to virtual. On one arm, real and virtual, real and virtual, virtual and real, conform to the principle of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is everywhere, which means that it is constantly changing in fiction and fact. It is consistent with the statement that Tai Ji Chuan is a contradictory and unified movement.

Fourth, in every movement, we should show that we can't lose our minds and be soft-hearted. What to do is the key! As we all know, practicing boxing is actually coordinating a person's actions beyond instinct in a special way, and then combining the coordinated actions into a person's conditioned reflex. If the boxing action fails the test and the boxing principle is unknown, it may be doing exercises. There is a proverb in practicing Tai Ji Chuan: "Don't treat people as people when practicing boxing, and don't treat people as people when pushing hands". It means that I feel someone pushing me in the process of practicing boxing, but in fact, it is useless to rely solely on imagination. To learn Taijiquan, you must first understand it. Why are you doing this? And we must test, take apart each movement, and let people push the boxing movements over. In this process, we can't fight with each other or be pushed out by the other side. But at this time, if it does not conform to the best stress state of human bones, it will be easily pushed out by the other side. If there is no perfect action curve in the boxing frame, no continuous penetration, and no change of reality and reality, it is impossible for the pusher to make a forceful action. Therefore, although "no one should practice boxing", when learning boxing, someone must come first. If someone really pushes, he can make use of perfect lines and changing techniques to make the pusher finish the boxing line effortlessly, which shows that this action is right. When a set of boxing has passed this test, why do you do this to this set of boxing? How to practice accurate boxing? It will feel very clear. Don't be careless when practicing boxing, but also imagine someone pushing you and practicing boxing clearly. This is the process of "no one is there when practicing boxing". Because when testing and practicing boxing, you must make the pusher not use force, and then you will continue to practice the tested boxing frame until you encounter strength, which will turn the action of not using force into a conditioned reflex. When you encounter a force in the back, the first reaction is to ask the other party not to use force. Only in this way can we achieve "someone is pushing the hand." If the boxing frame is unreasonable and fails to pass the test, even if the training time is longer, the strength will still be top-notch. Therefore, a radio practice cannot be a lifelong boxing. There is no boxing frame that can't fall off the top after being tested, and it won't be Tai Ji Chuan for a long time. Therefore, every movement of Tai Ji Chuan should have a clear and accurate running route and sequence, so as to conform to Tai Ji Chuan's principles and sports characteristics, to have good health preservation and Tai Chi attack and defense functions, and to achieve the effect of applying both hard and soft tactics when recruiting.

5. As we all know, Tai Ji Chuan is a family-run boxing method, and the family-run boxing must generate internal qi, but now almost all Tai Ji Chuan books rarely talk about the method of generating internal qi. Therefore, many practitioners have lost their way, even after practicing all their lives, they don't know what Qi is. Below I will focus on the principle and practice method of Tai Ji Chuan's "refining gas and practicing gas":

According to the formula of "practicing essence, practicing essence and practicing deficiency of spirit" in China's ancient Taoist concept of health preservation, we can know that practice will change essence, qi and spirit, in other words, essence, qi and spirit are different in composition and function, essence is not equal to qi, and qi is not equal to spirit. It also tells us that after the essence is cultivated, it can be turned into qi, and then from gasification to god. Literally, this formula contains two key points: (1) the word "practice" means reproduction and improvement, so we should study the process and method of refining qi and transforming spirit; (2) "Transformation" means change and transformation. Whether it is qualitative change or quantitative change, there must be a difference between the former and the latter.

Let's talk about the premise of practicing gas first. Song Kou Zongxuan's Materia Medica said: "A wife's life is based on qi and blood, and she will not hurt her qi and blood first if she is ill. It means that people's qi and blood have problems first, and then diseases will follow. Therefore, Lingshu Pulse says: "Qi can't move, like water. That is to say, qi, like water, must flow, otherwise it will be dirty and corrupt and become the source of disease. "Neijing Lingshu Meridian" said: "Meridian can decide life and death, treat all diseases and regulate deficiency and excess, so it is indispensable." "He also said:" Stagnation of qi and blood leads to all diseases, and universal qi and blood can cure all diseases. It shows that qi must rely on meridians and qi veins to run. If the meridians are blocked, the circulation of qi and blood will be blocked. Therefore, getting through the meridians is the primary task of practicing Qi. Of course, it takes a specific shape to get through the meridians. The accuracy of the first system of Yi Tai Chi is to make the meridians unblocked. If the meridians are blocked, it is difficult to gather qi and promote qi.

Say "refining gas", then what is "refining"? In life, when we are in good health, we are called "full of energy" and when we are in poor health, we are called "exhausted", which means that "essence" is the energy to supply physical activities. Can increase or decrease, it is an element that is often consumed and needs to be supplemented. Huangdi Neijing said: "When a person is born, he becomes refined first. He also said: "A man with a good husband is the foundation of his body. It is further pointed out: "Life is tangible and cannot be separated from Yin and Yang. Judging from the relationship between these three sentences, essence is the basic element of the body; Essence is the product of the combination of yin and yang; Essence is the element of physical fitness; Essence is the basic element of human viscera, limbs and muscles. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that essence exists in all internal organs, so essence is a kind of qi, which is related to the health of limbs and internal organs and the spirit of six fu organs. Neijing said: "Those who are really angry are influenced by heaven, and those who are full of grain gas are also. "That is to say, people can absorb the true qi from heaven and earth, and can blend with the' grain qi' in food to enrich the essence of our body." Neijing also said: "The true qi runs, so does the menstrual qi. In other words, the essence walks in blood vessels and meridians, and it contains kinetic energy. It has the kinetic energy of propulsion, so this gas belongs to essence.
