Chapter 28: Morning Exercise
Wang Jinshan led Gu Yiming to Pear Blossom Square to exercise, and when the partners of the elderly fitness team saw Wang Jinshan coming, they hurriedly gathered around and gossiped for a while.
"Oh! Wang stubborn! I haven't been here for a few days, why did you go?"
"That's right, Brother Wang, since you had a minor operation, people have become squeamish, it's been three months, and I haven't seen you for a few days, this is the rhythm of living at home!"
The old lady in front of her is called Cheng Guihua, and she is still delicate when she is old, and Wang Jinshan is a little toothy when she hears it.
"I went to Jinan a few days ago for a gathering of comrades-in-arms, so I didn't come, I only came back yesterday, didn't I come early in the morning! Haha!" Wang Jinshan laughed out loud when he saw that he was still popular, and his heart was very useful.
"Come on, what time is it, it's still early in the morning!" Lao Zhou, who retired from the Price Bureau, deliberately went against Wang Jinshan as if he was specifically against him.
"Hey, I got up at half past four, but my grandson said last night that he was going to exercise with me today, and I couldn't shout if he didn't wake up!" Wang Jinshan disagreed.
"Oh, little handsome guy, you also like morning exercises, are you influenced by your grandfather!" or Sun Yumei can speak, which makes people feel happy when they listen to it.
"Hello grandma! Grandpa said that morning exercise is good for the body, and I want to participate in the Olympics when I grow up!" Gu Yiming's childish appearance is really pitiful.
"Yo! This kid has had great ambitions since he was a child!"
"Hahaha! That's my grandson, is that the grandson of ordinary people!" Wang Jinshan laughed, and Lao Zhou secretly pursed his lips.
Wang Jinshan and everyone started tai chi together, and Gu Yiming was bored and followed alongside.
Tai Chi movements seem simple, but in fact, Wang Jinshan looked at Gu Yiming, who was following the gesture with a board next to him, although the movements were rusty, but they were serious, how to look at this kid and how to like it! Wang Jinshan was not only overjoyed.
I think that when Wang Jinshan first retired, he was really uncomfortable, he was busy in the unit, and he suddenly had free time, and Wang Jinshan's heart was still empty.
After a few days at home, Wang Jinshan felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and he had to find something to do, so he got up every morning, and Wang Jinshan walked around and moved around by the way.
Wang Jinshan felt that this exercise was more suitable for the elderly, the movements were soothing, and it was very in line with his aesthetic vision, so Wang Jinshan learned from others in the square.
At the beginning, because he didn't understand the routines and planning, the seemingly simple and soothing Tai Chi made Wang Jinshan rush and practice for a month or two, but he didn't make any progress.
Wang Jinshan felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and he had to find someone to ask for advice, according to his temperament and character, it was really not easy to bow his head to people and ask for advice, but in order to learn Taijiquan well, Wang Jinshan restrained his arrogant and uninhibited personality, humbly learned from a few old men who practiced well, and under their guidance, he really made great progress.
But Wang Jinshan's personality is like this, either don't do it, you have to do the best, he is not satisfied with his progress, he still wants to do better, so Wang Jinshan came to Xinhua Bookstore, bought some books and cards about Taijiquan, and went home to study.
Gu Yiming watched cartoon DVDs when he was a child, and with the popularity of computers, it has slowly become idle, Wang Jinshan just took advantage of it, stuffed the card into the DVD every day, connected it to the TV, and waited for Gu Yiming to go to kindergarten, Wang Zhenhua and Wang Heli also went to work, and Wang Jinshan followed the practice in front of the TV.
After practicing like this for more than a year, Wang Jinshan finally mastered the concept and essence of Taijiquan, the eight main characteristics and eight main strengths, and the essentials such as the eight doors and five steps were also mastered very authentically.
During this period, Wang Jinshan also learned Tai Chi sword, Tai Chi knife, Tai Chi stick and Tai Chi fan, etc., and practiced for a few months, Wang Jinshan found that the elderly have limited energy and can not learn too much, they should be less and fine, and the fist and sword are the foundation, and the foundation is laid, and there is no problem with others.
If you practice Taijiquan and Taijijian well, knives, sticks, and fans will be no problem, therefore, Wang Jinshan summed up his experience and mastered various Taijiquan and Taiji sword routines and rules, no matter where you practice, who you practice with, and where you practice are the same.
When practicing, it is best to know a certain amount of music theory knowledge, because when exercising, most of them have to play music, and everyone is stretched and moved with the simple and melodious music like dancing, if there is no certain music theory knowledge, it is often either fast or slow, and it is very discordant.
This is no problem for Wang Jinshan, who has been very sensitive to the pitch of music since he was young, and often leads everyone to practice the chorus, which has made him a tiger in the process of practicing Tai Chi.
However, the human heart is complex, and no matter how good or average Tai Chi is, there is no perfection, including those teachers who have been fighting for decades.
In the process of exercising with everyone, Wang Jinshan summed up a truth, that is, don't easily "guide" others, unless someone else comes to ask for advice, if you take the initiative to guide, maybe others don't like to listen, they feel that they have played very well, why do you find fault with me? You are not as good as me!
Just like that year, Wang Jinshan enthusiastically gave Lao Zhou, who had just retired, to give him a roll of his eyes, "I can play whatever I like, what's your business!" made Wang Jinshan unable to get off the stage on the spot.
Since then, Wang Jinshan has learned a lesson, everyone is a retired elderly, it is not easy to get together to play, activity is better than inactivity, don't be entangled in the accuracy of the action, the pace is not uniform, I hope that people will be long, thousands of miles together, and there is no need for exams and upgrades, just do as you like.
After a set of punches, Wang Jinshan's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, his breath was stable, and his whole body was comfortable, and then he looked at his grandson Gu Yiming, who was studying on the side, his face was already so hot that his face was red, and the tip of his nose was sweating slightly.
"Grandpa! Tai Chi is so difficult! It's much more difficult than the radio gymnastics we did at school!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Jinshan couldn't help laughing, Tong Yan was unscrupulous, a while ago there was a new retired old man in the square, Lao Zhou also boasted to others that Tai Chi is one of the easiest exercises, he retired and studied for a few days as if he was like flowing water, which made Wang Jinshan shake his head behind his back.
"Let's come out late today, I won't practice after boxing, the sun is rising, and my grandson's little tender face will be tanned for a while!" Wang Jinshan pinched Gu Yiming's face with a smile, and threw the sword bag back in a chic manner, "Let's go! Grandpa will take you to drink grits and eat fritters!"
"Okay, I'm going to put eggs!" Gu Yiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand at Sun Yumei, "Goodbye, grandma!"
"Goodbye, goodbye, be careful on the road!" Sun Yumei smiled and waved her hand, looking at the backs of her grandfather and grandson, with a look of envy in her eyes.
