Tai Chi is a martial arts event, a sports and fitness event, and has a long history in China. It originated from the marksmanship and long-handled sword skills of ancient cavalry. Its basic usage is: open, close, and send. It's like walking on stilts to use a spear or a long-handled sword.
Tai Chi begins with Wuji and is divided into two aspects. The two rituals are divided into three talents, and the three talents reveal the four phenomena, which evolves into the Bagua. Based on the principles of yin and yang in the "Book of Changes", traditional Chinese medicine meridian science, Taoist guidance, and breathing, we comprehensively create a set of boxing techniques that have yin and yang qualities, conform to the human body structure, and the laws of nature. The ancients called it "Tai Chi."
Since the rise of Tai Chi in modern times, the traditional saying is that Wudang Taoist Zhang Sanfeng created Tai Chi. Zhang Sanfeng was born in Yizhou, Liaodong. He was seven feet tall and could travel thousands of miles a day. In the early days of Hongwu, he went to Taihe Mountain in Shu to practice Taoism. In the 27th year, he went to Wudang Mountain in Hubei to chant sutras.
One day, a magpie bird was calling urgently in the courtyard. Zhang heard it and peeped out of the window. He saw a bird on the tree. His eyes were looking down. There was a long snake on the ground. His eyes were looking up. The two objects were fighting each other for a long time. Every time When the sparrow flew up and down to hit the long snake, the snake meandered lightly and shook its head to dodge without being hit. From this, Zhang understood Tai Chi's principle of using stillness to stop and using softness to overcome rigidity.
Tai Chi is born from the infinite, the machine of movement and stillness, and the mother of yin and yang. When it moves, it separates; when it stays still, it unites. No matter what is wrong, just stretch according to the song. When people are strong and I am soft, I call them walking away; when I follow people's back, I call them sticky. If you move urgently, you will respond quickly; if you move slowly, you will follow slowly. Although there are many changes, the principle remains consistent. From the familiarity of the moves, one gradually realizes and understands the strength, and from the understanding of the strength, one develops the level and becomes a god.
"However, it cannot be penetrated suddenly without exerting force for a long time." The virtual spirit is strong and the energy is sinking in the Dantian. Unbiased, flickering. If the left side is heavy, the left side will be weak; if the right side is heavy, the right side will be deficient. When you look up, you get taller, when you look down, you get deeper, when you advance, you get longer, when you retreat, you get faster. One feather cannot be added, flies cannot fall, people don¡¯t know me, I only know people.
A hero is invincible, and everything is within his reach. There are many different schools of martial arts. Although the strengths are different, they are all the same: the strong bullies the weak, the slow gives way to the quick. The strong will beat the weak, and the slow hand will make the hand quick. These are all innate and natural abilities, and they are not related to academic ability but to potential. Observe the sentence of four or two moves of a thousand catties, it is obvious that strength is not the best; observe the form of an old man who can control the crowd, what can be done with speed? Standing like a scale, moving like a wheel. If it is too heavy, it will follow, and if it is double, it will stagnate. Every time we see those who have been pure power for several years and cannot transform it, they are all controlled by others, and they have not yet realized the double disease.
To avoid this disease, you need to know the yin and yang; sticking means walking, walking means sticking, yang is not separated from yin, and yin is not separated from yang; yin and yang complement each other to understand the strength. After understanding Jin, the more you practice it, the better it becomes, and you will gradually learn to follow your heart's desires. The original intention is to sacrifice oneself and follow others, but many mistakes are made to sacrifice the near and seek the far. The so-called slight difference is a thousand miles wrong. Scholars must make a detailed analysis. It's a theory.
According to ancient legend, Tai Chi has no routines. The original skeleton is the thirteen postures, which are composed of the thirteen characters of Ding, Advance, Retreat, Gu, Pan, Sheng, Stroke, Squeeze, Press, Pick, Line, Elbow, and Lean. And this Zhou Yu When I decided to practice Tai Chi, I studied all the training methods of Tai Chi schools that I could find, and then deleted all the routines, leaving only the concentration, advance, retreat, Gu, Pan, and Sheng. The thirteen movements of , stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, rowing, elbowing and leaning are integrated with each other and adjusted according to the characteristics of one's own body, and finally the thirteen Tai Chi postures suitable for one's own body are combined.
In addition to Tai Chi, Baguazhang and Yiquan are also the same. Baguazhang was taught by Dong Haichuan from Taoism in the Qing Dynasty. After many developments and improvements, it officially appeared in China during an accident. In front of the world, it was later that Dong Haichuan and Yang Luchan, who practiced Tai Chi, were called the two masters of the capital, and Bagua Zhang was officially known to the world.
After years of development, Dong Haichuan's major disciples integrated the Baguazhang they learned into their own understanding, and finally formed many schools. After so many years, among these many schools, the most influential ones are now They are the Yin School, the Liang School, the Cheng School, the Zhang School, and the Shi School. They are an embodiment of Taoist Yin-Yang Palm for health preservation, fitness, and self-defense.
Although there are many schools of Baguazhang, they all use the eight major pile techniques as the turning palm technique, and integrate the eight major circle hands into one, with one to eight steps of pendulum, buckle and step steps as the basis. It is a basic movement route, with palm skills as the core. When walking and turning, the whole body moves together, and the steps are like flowing clouds and flowing water. The body method requirements: twisting and turning are coordinated and complete, walking like a swimming dragon, and turning like an eagle.
The main techniques are: penetration, insertion, splitting, teasing, horizontal, hitting, buckling, turning, supporting, etc. Baguazhang is a boxing technique that integrates health care and martial arts, and cultivates morality. Master Dong Haichuan integrated martial arts and internal strength into one, learned from the strengths of others, and added his own rich experience to create an original palm-based technical method. It is different from other boxing techniques by walking around in circles and "stepping through the mud, scissoring legs, being as steady as sitting on a sedan chair", buckling and breaking transitions, and avoiding and hitting diagonals.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Use the palms as the method, use walking as the use, and integrate kicking, beating, throwing, grabbing into one body, and the cycle is endless. If you avoid the right direction, you will go slanted. If you follow the trend and the force, you will be unpredictable. You will escape and become a shadow. If it is soft, there is a needle hidden in the cotton, and it will stick and melt; if it is strong, it will explode like a cold bomb, as fast as lightning and thunder.
At the same time, these palm techniques have also evolved from these eight palm techniques. These eight palm techniques are called the Eight Mother Palms by the Bagua sect, also known as the Old Eight Palms, namely single palm change, double palm change, and follow the trend. Palms, Back Body Palms, Turning Over Palms, Body Grinding Palms, Three Penetrating Palms and Turning Back Palms.
Since the contents spread in various places are not exactly the same, some are represented by the eight shapes of lion, deer, snake, harrier, dragon, bear, phoenix and monkey, and there are also double-bumping palms, body-shaking palms, piercing palms, lifting palms, etc. as the basic eight palms. Content. Each of these palms can be derived from many palm techniques. It is said that one palm can produce eight palms, or eight, eight, sixty-four.
Finally, there is Xingyiquan, also known as Xingyiquan, Xinyiquan, and Xinyiquan. In traditional Chinese martial arts, it is as famous as Tai Chi and Baguazhang, and it is also among the internal martial arts. The fighting style is mostly straight forward, and the Bagua is horizontal, there must be a significant difference in Tai Chi.
Xingyiquan's short and straight forward attack is most suitable for use in battle formations. There are no fancy moves, and long-term movement is also the fastest. When two armies are fighting, with thousands of troops and horses, it is not easy to have a place to dodge and maneuver. Only Go straight forward, fight as you go, and fight as you go. Just like the Yellow River bursting its banks, it rushes down in an endless stream. It is said that it was the general in the army who transformed the method of spear shooting into marksmanship. He used empty hands as fists and armed weapons as weapons. gun.
Xingyiquan is based on the Five Elements Boxing (split, collapse, drill, cannon, horizontal) and the Twelve-Shaped Boxing (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, harrier, swallow, snake, cat, bird, eagle, bear). , whose pile method is based on the three-body posture.
Among the famous Twelve Forms of Xingyi and Yi, the focus is to highlight the offensive skills of the animals. They do not seek images but seek true practice of the meaning. They also pay attention to the connotations of metal, wood, water, fire and earth in the five elements. This is the basic Five Elements Boxing in the foundation of Xingyi Boxing.
