Chapter 47 Innovation

Yuanfeng and Zhang Wentao, who came with the group, did not return to the capital with the bus, and they had to play at Tian Chuan's house for a few days. Liu Meiting also had to stay at Tian Chuan's house for a few days to practice pushing hands with Tian Chuan. Qi Gang followed Liu Meiting's footsteps closely and also stayed. Liu Qi and the others didn't know Zhang Wentao and Yuanfeng, but Zhang Wentao knew them. After Tagawa introduced several people to each other, he took them home to choose a room.

Zhang Wentao's father has just been transferred from Shanghai to Beijing, serving as the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, as a new member, he first learned about the big names in the Beijing circle after arriving in Beijing, the Liu family and the Qi family are both red families handed down from the early days of liberation, far from being comparable to the son of a new small hall chief like him. Since the last time he saw Tian Chuan and Li Qiluan together at the Xishan Guild Hall, he had already been impressed by Tian Chuan, but he didn't expect Tian Chuan to be so close to Liu Meiting, the legendary princess of the Liu family.

Yuanfeng's grandfather Yuan Guoqiang is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an authoritative expert in national agronomy, and has a great influence in the field of international agronomy. In terms of level, Yuanfeng also belongs to the first-class son, but his family is engaged in science and technology, and he can't play with the children of those families who are really in politics, and the family controls him strictly, so Yuanfeng is not familiar with the circle of high-ranking officials in the capital, and he has only heard of the names of the Liu family, the Qi family, the Li family, etc. After listening to Zhang Wentao quietly introduce the identities of Liu Meiting and Qi Gang, he couldn't help but feel that Tian Chuan was even more mysterious, how did he know these high-ranking big people?

When they came to Tagawa's house, several people already knew Tagawa's parents, and after saying hello, Tagawa took a few people to the second floor to choose a room. To Tian Chuan's surprise, Liu Meiting and Qi Gang actually slept in separate rooms. Yuanfeng and Zhang Wentao have one, Liu Meiting and Qi Gang have one each, there are enough rooms, and after a few people move in, there is still a surplus.

After choosing a room, everyone drank tea and chatted in the living room on the second floor. Tian Chuan took out the tea set sent by Liu Meiting and asked Liu Meiting for tea advice: "Sister Ting, since you sent this tea set, I have been put into the storage room. ”

Liu Meiting was not polite, first opened the packaging of the tea set, asked Tian Chuan for a new big steamer, boiled a large pot of boiling water, put a full set of new tea sets into the water and scalded it, saying that it was to remove its fire. After looking at the several tea industries that Tian Chuan took out, he couldn't help frowning: "Your tea may not be cheap, but it is really not a good tea, and it is not worthy of this tea set." After several hesitations, he finally chose a green tea without a label and said: "This green tea is still in harmony, without adding those messy spices, it should have been given by others." Tian Chuan thought for a while and said, "This was sent by Liu Xiaojun, who is from the county government guest house." It's the thin man who took care of everyone at the table next to the alumni when he lived in Wen last time. ”

Liu Meiting still had an impression of Liu Xiaojun, nodded, and began to taste several kinds of water provided by Tian Chuan, including bottled drinking water, bottled mineral water and tap water of the Tian family. Liu Meiting tasted it and said: "Xiaochuan, the tap water in your house is not the water of the water plant, it is the water of a deep well, right?" Tian Chuan nodded and said yes, the tap water in Tianjia Village comes from a deep well in the village, and is supplied by a water tower in the village. Liu Meiting said: "This deep well water is good, much stronger than your messy commercial water, sweet and sweet, almost comparable to mountain spring water, just use this." ”

The Tian family does not have a small tandoor for cooking tea, only a stainless steel electric kettle. Liu Meiting used this electric kettle to start cooking tea. Her movements were like flowing water, although the utensils were unfamiliar, she still coped with them easily, as if in just a blink of an eye, cups of fragrant tea were delivered to everyone. The tea fragrance is fragrant and elegant, the tea color is clear and bright, slightly green, and it has not yet been entered, which makes people feel refreshed. As soon as the tea is entered, the whole person seems to be drenched clearly by this tea from the inside out, which makes the whole body refreshing and long-lasting aftertaste.

After Tian Chuan drank the tea, he asked curiously: "Sister Ting, this tea fragrance is still charming, but it doesn't have the Tai Chi charm from last time, what's going on?" Liu Meiting said angrily: "Do you think that the Tai Chi charm can be integrated into the tea ceremony every time, if that's the case, can you still hold on to me for so long when pushing your hands?" and then explained, "The right time, the right place and the right people are indispensable." In your place, the environment, tea sets, tea leaves, and water are not familiar, and the clothes are not comfortable, so it is difficult to achieve that artistic conception. As he spoke, he brewed the tea in the pot again, and the artistic conception of the second tea was different from the first one, which still convinced everyone.

After drinking tea, attracted by Tian Chuan's Tai Chi sayings, Liu Meiting invited Tian Chuan to push his hand. Tian Chuan found his own set of practice clothes and handed it to her: "Sister Ting, you are tall, my practice clothes should be able to be put together and worn." Liu Meiting made a look of disgust and said, "Your clothes are dirty, I don't wear them." Miss Ben came this time, and she was going to push hands with you, so she brought clothes. With that, he went back to his room to change his clothes. Tagawa also returned to his room and changed into his practice clothes.

After changing clothes, Tagawa led everyone to the terrace on the third floor. The insulated roof on the terrace has been unfolded in winter, and all kinds of green plants in it grow very luxuriantly, lushly, full of spring, which makes people feel relaxed and happy at first sight. There is a stone table and stone bench under the rattan trellis in the middle, and Tagawa moved the table and bench to the side to vacate the middle space, which is about 4 meters by 6 meters in size. Others also came to help, but found that they couldn't move the heavy stone bench at all, so Tagawa had to do it alone. Qi Gang couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Tian Chuan's strength. Liu Meiting comforted him and said: "The advantage of having a lot of strength when pushing hands is not too obvious, the key is the ability to listen." ”

Tian Chuan has been very busy since that competition, and the practice of pushing hands is also intermittent, and when I joined Liu Meiting today, I felt a little raw, and my reaction was always half a beat slower, and I was released several times in a row. After slowly getting acquainted, he barely reached a tie with Liu Meiting. After a few minutes of sparring like this, stopping and discussing for a few minutes, then sparring and discussing again, it lasted for about an hour, and it gradually got dark.

Yuanfeng and Zhang Wentao watched interestingly next to them and wanted to try it too. Tian Chuan and Liu Meiting were both sweating, so they stopped, and Tian Chuan instructed the two to practice. The action of pushing the hand is not complicated, and the main action is only to squeeze and press the four righteous methods, and the elbow to lean on the four strange methods, which are collectively known as the "eight laws". In fact, the "Four Wonders" method is only the deformation of the "Four Positives" method, in the final analysis, it is only a few techniques of the "Four Positives", Tian Chuanguchi said that the hand ratio, only a moment of kung fu to teach the four methods of Tai Chi to the two, and teach the two according to the Yang style "Bird Tail" method for circular pushing, familiar with the feeling of action and listening. The two of them are the same as ordinary beginners, and as soon as they are familiar with the movements, they want to actually practice against each other. Tian Chuan didn't object, so he let the two practice and compete, and as expected, the "top cow" soon happened, Zhang Wentao's strength was relatively large, and Yuanfeng was pushed away. This was repeated several times, and the two guys fought with brute force like wrestling, and finally felt bored and asked Tagawa to hand in order to find the feeling of a real pusher.

Tian Chuan was also not polite, and held hands with the two of them a few times, so that they could feel the feeling of being sent out by the "Eight Methods" and experience the power of the real Tai Chi technique, and the interest of the two guys who had just been hit began to germinate again. Taking this opportunity, Tian Chuan told the two: "Tai Chi push hand is the application of Tai Chi Kung Fu, usually through the repeated practice of routines and basic kung fu, familiar with the way of action, as well as the method of experiencing 'listening to strength', until the end of the 'listening strength' and 'response strength' form an instinct, in order to achieve a certain ability to fight with others." This feeling will not be formed too quickly, so there is a saying that 'Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, and Xingyi kills people in half a year', in fact, as long as you practice more, there will always be results. Generally, after a few months, you can barely practice together. ”

In fact, after the last competition, after Tian Chuan made a speech on the development direction of Taijiquan, he has been thinking about ways to improve Taijiquan practice methods, and formed some preliminary ideas, at this time, seeing that Yuanfeng and Zhang Wentao were interested, they wanted to test it on the two of them to see if it was possible to make a simple practice method of Taijiquan "outer door", so that practitioners can form a certain combat effectiveness in a relatively short period of time.

Seeing that Tian Chuan's teaching method was different, Liu Meiting also watched with interest, and finally she secretly asked: "This is your new new practice method, is it feasible?" Tian Chuan said: "It's not a system yet, I want to test it on them first, and gradually improve it in application." Otherwise, with the two of them nearly twenty years old, how can they practice boxing according to the traditional method. ”

At this time, Tian Ma came up and called everyone downstairs to eat, and Tian Chuan agreed to take a few people downstairs.

Tian Chuan and Liu Meiting were both sweating, and their practice clothes were sticky and uncomfortable. The two of them went back to their rooms to take a shower before coming to the restaurant in the west wing.

The dinner was made by Tian's mother and sister Tian Li together, and it was completely home-cooked. Boiled hairtail fish, stir-fried meat with chili, stir-fried lettuce with garlic, stewed mutton, mixed vegetable core, shredded potatoes with green peppers, plus a pot of shredded sea rice and radish soup. There are not many dishes, but the amount is sufficient. Several of the guests were born in wealthy families, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were not rare, but they lacked resistance to this common meal, and each of them ate a lot.

On winter nights, there is no entertainment in the countryside, and after dinner, a few people go to the study to sit idly. Tagawa also has a large collection of books in his hometown, and he has a copy of the commonly used books in the house in the capital so that he can use them at home. At this time, everyone was looking for books to read, Liu Meiting proposed to read the boxing scripture of the patriarch Yang Luchan, and Tian Chuan took out this handwritten rare book and the manuscript of the old man Sun Zhenying from the treasure room and read it with her.

Yang Luchan's handwritten fist scripture was written in the middle of the nineteenth century, and it has been nearly 150 years since then, and the paper has become a little brittle. Liu Meiting carefully turned the page, the paper still made a clicking sound, Tian Chuan said: "Sister Ting, don't read it like this, otherwise this book will soon be broken." I'm looking for someone to photocopy this book and protect it. When the time comes, we will look at the photocopy, and the original book will be returned to Master Liu for collection. After all, this is the ancestral treasure of your Yang family. ”

Liu Meiting also knew this truth, so she had to reluctantly put down the book and asked Tian Chuan to send it back to the treasure room for collection.

After collecting the book, Tian Chuan and Liu Meiting discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Taijiquan as a technical means. Liu Meiting asked Tian Chuan: "Xiaochuan, you have used Tai Chi to move with people, how do you feel the power?"

Tagawa said, "Although I fought a few times, I never fought against a real master. The strongest person I have encountered is probably Lin Hu during the pusher competition, and he is not a master. In addition, he tried a few tricks with a Baguazhang heir, but his kung fu has not yet started, and there is no comparison. ”

Liu Meiting said: "In Taijiquan, we should be regarded as the strongest among the younger generation. Walking outside, at least having the strength to fight with other people who practice other kung fu shows that our Tai Chi still has a practical effect, and it is not as unbearable as you said in your speech that day. ”

Tagawa retorted, "Not really. So far, all I have dealt with is just one person in each sect, and we don't know how strong they are in their sect, not a sure master. The two of us are among the strongest young people in Taijiquan, so there is not much reference for such results. Speaking of this, Tian Chuan smiled slightly, and said: "It was a physical education teacher from our school a few days ago who was in the top eight in the Beijing Sanda Tournament and was easily defeated by me, which can show that we are not at a loss in Shangsanda." Sanda is like this, it is estimated that the general traditional sects in China will not be too strong, and they have too few actual battles. ”

"Yes," Liu Meiting echoed, "In fact, our main opponents will be boxing, karate, judo and other types of boxing that focus on actual combat, and maybe Chinese-style wrestling is not weak." ”

In the end, the two came to the conclusion that if they want to expand the influence of Taijiquan and promote this type of boxing, they should focus on showing the public the actual combat ability, health preservation effect and national cultural attributes. At the same time, we should start to set up an outer door as soon as possible, create a learning system, and formulate relevant regulations. Liu Meiting suggested that Tian Chuan take the lead to do this, but Tian Chuan was worried that he had too many things to do and couldn't spare enough time. In the end, they decided to report this matter to the Yang family's master Liu Mingtang, Mr. Sun Zhenying, after returning to Beijing, and ask the masters to come up with big ideas.
