Chapter 19 comprehends the essence of Taijiquan
Zhang Sanfeng said that he was optimistic, and then got up and played Tai Chi in the courtyard.
I saw Zhang Sanfeng's hands drooping, the back of his hands outward, his fingers slightly relaxed, his feet separated and parallel, and then his arms were slowly lifted to his chest, his left arm was half a ring, his palm was facing into a yin palm, and his right palm was turned over into a yang palm, and he said: "This is the starting style of Taijiquan." "I followed the performance of one move and one style, and called out the names of the moves: holding the bird's tail, single whip, carrying the hand, white crane wings, kneeling hook, waving the pipa, progressing to move the hammer like a seal, cross hands, hugging the tiger and returning to the mountain......
Everyone looked at Zhang Sanfeng's boxing intently, and at first, everyone thought that Zhang Sanfeng was deliberately playing very full, so that they and others could understand it.
But after one move, everyone present knew that this set of martial arts is to fight slowly and fast, and to brake quietly.
I saw Zhang Sanfeng's hands turning around, and every move contained the changes of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.
Zhang Sanfeng finished a set of boxing techniques, and hugged a Tai Chi virtual circle with both hands. explained: "The trick of this set of boxing techniques is 'Void Spirit Strength, Chest and Back, Loose Waist and Hips, Heavy Shoulders and Elbows' Sixteen words, purely with intention, the most taboo force." The unity of form and spirit is the gist of this way. ”
After speaking, everyone who looked at the people who closed their eyes and comprehended and pondered waited patiently.
After a stick of incense, everyone present basically opened their eyes, and only Song Qingshu was still pondering.
Song Qingshu watched Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi boxing, and listened to Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, and had an epiphany in his heart.
The core of Taijiquan's ability to strike backwards is that Taijiquan only focuses on its meaning, not its moves.
After the enemy makes a move, find the best move to crack the opponent's attack.
But there is a time lag in this, and there is a difference between people's thoughts and physical reactions, and although there are only ways to deal with them in their minds, they can't react physically to them.
Therefore, Tai Chi requires the unity of form and spirit, that is, to match the body with the mind, and to be able to react as quickly as possible.
In other words, it becomes instinctive to let the body move, and it does not need to reflect time.
This requires years of obscenity in Tai Chi.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at everyone and asked, "How many percent have you all appreciated?" ”
Song Yuanqiao replied first: "Master, Taijiquan is too profound, and the disciple can only comprehend about forty percent. ”
Yu Lianzhou also replied: "The disciple can comprehend fifty percent. ”
Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, and Mo Shenggu also appreciated three or four percent.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhang Wuji with anticipation.
Zhang Wuji respectfully said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Master Tai, the disciple has comprehended seven or eight points. ”
Zhang Sanfeng is naturally clear about the talent of the registered disciples, so he can also know how much they can understand.
But Zhang Wuji's words made Zhang Sanfeng happy in his heart, it was really rare that his little apprentice could comprehend seven or eight points.
Thinking of this, he looked at Song Qingshu, who was still pondering, and was also looking forward to it.
Song Yuanqiao looked at Song Qingshu who was in deep thought and didn't see the master's eyes, so he coughed and said, "Qingshu, hurry up and tell your master, how much have you comprehended?" ”
Song Qingshu came back to his senses at this time, looked at the expectant eyes of the audience, and said, "The disciple didn't comprehend it. ”
Everyone present, including Zhang Sanfeng, was stunned, even if this kid said that he had comprehended eighty or ninety percent, everyone would not be surprised, and he didn't expect to say such a thing.
Could it be that Song Qingshu didn't have the talent to learn Tai Chi?
Thinking of this, the Wudang Five Heroes were very disappointed.
After all, in their hearts, Song Qingshu is the hope of Wutian, although Zhang Wuji is also a disciple of Wudang, but after all, he is the leader of the Ming Sect.
After all, Zhang Sanfeng is a generation of grandmasters, first stunned by Song Qingshu's words, and then first came to his senses and asked for everyone: "Qingshu, what do you think of Shigong's boxing method?" ”
Song Qingshu told Zhang Sanfeng about his understanding, and after listening to Song Qingshu's words in Zhang Sanfeng's state of mind, he also felt agitated and high-spirited. I couldn't help laughing again: "Wonderful." ”
Although everyone listened to Song Qingshu's words and felt that it was very reasonable, they still didn't know what the master of the others said was wonderful.
After Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, everyone knew that the Tai Chi created by Zhang Sanfeng was based on this principle.
If a person's moves can achieve the unity of divine action, he will naturally be able to truly achieve all the unsatisfactory and arbitrary results.
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.
I'm afraid that in today's martial arts, except for Zhang Sanfeng, there is no second person who can reach this height.
Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng created Tai Chi, so that everyone can reach this state by practicing Tai Chi.
Therefore, Song Qingshu said that he did not comprehend it at all, because Taijiquan can only reflect his greatest value by constantly practicing.
Therefore, Taijiquan was actually created by Zhang Sanfeng for his disciples and even the entire Wudang. Strictly speaking, Tai Chi is no longer a martial art, but a practice. As for Zhang Wuji, being able to defeat Ah Er and Ah San by relying on Tai Chi is completely due to his own deep internal strength.
Taijiquan is very similar to Dugu swordsmanship in this regard.
It seems that there are all the laws in the world, and they have the same end.
In the future, as long as Wudang disciples continue to practice Taijiquan, they will slowly move closer to the realm caused by their hearts.
If a person has reached the realm of self-indulgence through Tai Chi, then his moves and styles are completely spontaneous, and there is no trace to be found.
However, in the process of practicing Tai Chi, the speed of personal perception is related to each person's talent.
