As we enter March, the weather is gradually getting warmer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe ice water on East Lake has completely melted, all kinds of trees have begun to sprout, willows have turned green, wild grasses on the ground have also emerged, and the breeze blows with a layer of warmth, making people feel that spring is coming.

On the afternoon of the first Sunday, in the grove northeast of East Lake, Master Chen was practicing Tai Chi with Zhuang Zhuang. Teacher Chen was in front, Zhuang Zhuang stood behind, starting from the eight styles, practicing one style at a time.

Eight styles, sixteen styles, twenty-four styles, thirty-eight styles, forty-six styles, these five styles of Taijiquan have been learned.

When he finished practicing the 46 styles, Teacher Chen paused his boxing practice, turned around and said to Zhuang Zhuang: "At the end of March, we will have a Tai Chi competition in our training class. To do a good job in Taijiquan, we should also pay attention to the practice of the basic skills of Taijiquan. Chen's Taijiquan has a set of special basic skills called Silk Winding Gong, which is specially compiled for people who practice Taijiquan. ”

"Really? There is such a set of exercises! It's the first time Zhuang Zhuang has heard of it, "Then you can teach me!" ”

"Yes, I'll teach you this set of basic skills today." Teacher Chen said very seriously, "In the past, the basic skills we talked about were the basic skills of martial arts, and the silk winding skills were the basic skills of Taijiquan. There are hand shapes, body shapes, leg shapes, foot shapes, eye shapes, and god shapes, and when you are proficient in this basic skill, you will be able to do the movements in Tai Chi. ”

"If you are always familiar with the basic skills, the movements in Tai Chi will get better and better." Teacher Chen said about the importance of basic skills, "The reason why I teach you silk winding skills now is to let you understand the importance of this set of basic skills." After learning the basic movements of Taijiquan, we will experience the use of basic skills to improve the accuracy of Taijiquan movements. ”

"How do you understand this silk winding skill?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

Teacher Chen said: "It's like holding a spool in one hand, holding a lot of silk threads in the other hand and wrapping silk threads around the spool. The strength of the winding can not be large, the silk thread is easy to break when the strength is large, and the strength is small and it cannot be entangled. But also to maintain the coherence of the silk thread and the circular trajectory of the silk thread. These are all indicative of the style of Tai Chi. Okay, let's talk about silk winding skills. ”

Teacher Chen explained while making movements: "The thirteen methods of silk winding, the first method is the starting method. Take a step across your left leg to shoulder width, relax your hands and hang them down, raise your arms up to your chest, and press your palms down to your sides. Just do eight. ”

Zhuang Zhuang stood next to him and followed Teacher Chen to do this action, and did eight at once.

Teacher Chen continued to explain and demonstrate the second, third, and fourth methods?????? Until the thirteenth law. Zhuang Zhuang learned and practiced at the same time, and soon mastered these thirteen methods. In the end, I followed Mr. Chen to do the silk winding gong again. Teacher Chen said: "Next, I continue to practice Taijiquan, and you will come to practice Silk Winding Gong, and when I finish boxing, Silk Winding Gong will be finished." After speaking, he began to continue to practice Tai Chi again, and Zhuang Zhuang practiced silk winding on the side.

Fifty-four, sixty-two, seventy-one, eighty-three, one hundred and twenty-five, Mr. Chen also played these five styles of Taijiquan. After the beating, his face was shining red, and his hair was steaming, giving him a feeling of prosperity.

Teacher Chen turned around and said, "I'll take a look at you if you do the silk winding gong again." ”

Zhuang Zhuang went through the thirteen methods of silk winding again. Those movements are lingering, sleek and soft, like winding silk. Teacher Chen felt good and encouraged him, "Yes, that's how it is." It is necessary to apply the movements in the silk winding gong to the taijiquan, so that the movements in the taijiquan are done in accordance with the essentials of the silk winding gong, so that the taijiquan will be played well. ”

Zhuang Zhuang nodded and said, "I understand!" After a pause, he said, "But I still have one more question that I haven't been able to figure out." ”

"What's the problem?" Teacher Chen said with a towel wiping his sweat.

"Is the style of Tai Chi all like this, very slow and soft? Is there a stronger way to play? Zhuang Zhuang finally expressed his confusion.

"Of course!" Teacher Chen did not hesitate at all, "Taijiquan also has a strong style of playing on the outside and soft on the inside, and Chen's Taiji's old frame and second way are this way of playing. It's just that there aren't many punches left in this style of fighting, so it's relatively rare. ”

"When will this old frame be learned?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"When we finish learning the one hundred and twenty-five styles, let's learn the second road of our hometown." Teacher Chen said his plan, "Because this style of play is different from others, it can't be mixed with learning." He hung the towel on the branch, "I'll give you a look now!" With that, he stood in the middle of the field.

Teacher Chen played the old frame two-way twenty-four style, the action was strong and powerful, and the one move was majestic, as if with the sound of the whirring wind. One moment on the three roads, one moment down the three roads, one moment left rush, one moment right hit, really alive, fierce and abnormal.

A few minutes later, Mr. Chen made a closing ceremony. The old frame is over.

Zhuang Zhuang said excitedly: "This kind of Tai Chi is more interesting, it is exciting to look at, and when I finish learning the outer soft and the inner rigid, I am learning to learn the outer rigidity and the inner softness, which is called really learning Taijiquan."

"Don't be in a hurry!" Teacher Chen said, "It takes at least 15 years from learning Tai Chi to really doing Tai Chi well, and learning for three or five years is just the beginning." He glanced at Zhuang Zhuang, "Come, let's push the hand." ”

Teacher Chen and Zhuang Zhuang set up a shelf and pushed their hands. After a few laps, Mr. Chen said, "Your pusher kung fu has grown very quickly, and this is the result of practicing every day." Note that kung fu is accumulated, so you must practice it every day, and if you practice for one more day, you will accumulate one more day, and if you accumulate one more day, you will have a deep kung fu for one day. ”

Zhuang Zhuang pondered Mr. Chen's words and felt that it made sense.

Suddenly, Mr. Chen exerted his strength, and Zhuang Zhuang felt that he could no longer dodge, so he planted backwards. Just when his body was about to fall, his hand was grabbed by Teacher Chen.

Teacher Chen said, "Do you know how I pushed you down? ”

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head and said, "I don't know! I'm also a little puzzled, I've been guarding against you, how can I still be pushed down? ”

"In the process of pushing the hand, as long as there is a sudden downward force, the opponent will be pushed down." Teacher Chen smiled and said, "On the contrary, as long as you suddenly retract the force downward, the other party will also fall down." ”

"What you're saying is a secret, I never thought it could be like this." Zhuang Zhuang shook his head and said.

"Take your time! The secret of pushing hands will have to be mastered later. Teacher Chen patted his strong shoulder, "That's all for today, let's go home!" ”

Zhuang Zhuang helped Teacher Chen pack his bag, then took it and followed Teacher Chen to the north gate.

The sun had already hidden behind the western mountains, and only a yellow light showed its head, and soon it shrank back, and the sky quietly darkened.

Walking out of the north gate of the park, Mr. Chen pushed out the bicycle from the storage area and walked to the road and said, "You sit on the back shelf, and I will take you home." Zhuang Zhuang looked at Teacher Chen embarrassedly. Teacher Chen continued, "Come on! Don't hesitate! Zhuang Zhuang sat down on his legs.

At this time, a Great Wall Harvard off-road vehicle stopped in front of them, and Li Nan pushed the car door and got out of the car: "Teacher Chen, it's time for me to come, right?" ”

"Hey, that's right, you're here just as we are leaving," Mr. Chen turned to Zhuang Zhuang, "Then you can get out of the car and go home on four wheels!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Zhuang Zhuang said and jumped off the bike and ran to his father's side.

"Let's take our car with us!" Li Nan said politely to Teacher Chen.

"No need! I'll only be riding for five minutes, so let's go! Teacher Chen waved his hand.

Li Nan and Zhuang Zhuang said goodbye to Mr. Chen and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the south area of Shuiqiao.
