Chapter 35: Falling in love with Tai Chi

Hehehehe, Tingting laughed: "It seems that you are really a layman and don't know anything about Taijiquan." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Hehehehe.

Zhuang Zhuang was a little confused: "What's so funny about this, is there a problem with what I said?" ”

"Not only is there something wrong with what you said, but it's also that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth." Tingting put away her laughter and patted her heart again, "Tai Chi is the essence of Chinese martial arts, how can it be useless to learn this boxing!" ”

"Could it be that Tai Chi also has a technical effect?" Zhuang Zhuang asked hesitantly.

"Let's not talk about anything else, it's just that the name of this fist is very profound. Tai Chi, that is a word that can only be explained clearly by the theory of the I Ching. ”

Zhuang Zhuang nodded: "Really, why did this fist have such an esoteric name?" ”

"I can't say anything about Tai Chi either. But I know that this punch can not only strengthen the body, but also strike. Why do doctors always ask you to learn Tai Chi? It is to emphasize its fitness and strengthening effect. Why are there so many people practicing Tai Chi? It's also because it strengthens the body. But why it can be fit and strong, I can't tell. It is very likely that practicing this fist can drive the qi and blood of the whole body, so it is healthy and strong. Tingting said her understanding, "Don't look at its movements so slowly, but it can really strengthen the body." ”

"I can understand fitness and strengthening, because after all, it is a kind of exercise, and exercise is naturally good for the body." Zhuang Zhuang seemed to be thinking, "But to say that this punch is still useful for technical strikes, it is difficult to understand!" ”

"What is Tai Chi? Tai Chi is soft with hard, soft with rigid, you watch a hand slowly hit through, as if there is no strength, in fact, it brings a kind of internal force. Therefore, people say that Taijiquan is an internal boxing, which can fight big with small and use strength to fight hard, and dial thousands of catties in four or two. These are the essence of Chinese Kung Fu. Tingting told everything she knew.

"What?" Zhuang Zhuang said unconsciously, he couldn't believe that Tai Chi had so much energy. "Fight big with small, use strength, and dial a thousand pounds in four or two, this is exactly what I need." His eyes widened, "Does Tai Chi really have such a big effect?" ”

"Of course! This is the most basic function of Tai Chi. Tingting said angrily.

"Who invented such a magical boxing style?" Zhuang Zhuang wants to figure it out.

"There are many such sayings, some people say that it was invented before the Tang Dynasty, and some say that it was invented by Zhang Sanfeng, a Wudang Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, and the most basic saying is that it was invented by people in Chenjiagou, Wenxian County, Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 300 years now." Tingting said while thinking.

"Yes, yes, I seem to have heard of what is called Chen's Taijiquan, and that Chen is from Chenjiagou, right?" Zhuang Zhuang suddenly thought of a little thing about hearsay.

"You're right about this," Tingting smiled again, "Later, a person surnamed Yang in Hebei created Yang's Taijiquan on the basis of Chen's Taijiquan, and later there were Wu's, Wu's, Sun's, and so on, there were probably more than a dozen." But the most famous are the three types of Taijiquan of Chen, Yang and Wu. ”

"So what kind of tai chi are we going to learn?" Zhuang Zhuang wants to figure it out.

"The general ones are probably Chen's and Yang's Taijiquan, and there seems to be a simplified Taijiquan." Tingting said uncertainly, "It's all tai chi anyway, but the focus is different." ”

Until this time, Zhuang Zhuang's view of Taijiquan has fundamentally changed: after a long time, Taijiquan is really a big boxing! And it's very powerful. Zhuang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Why is Tai Chi so powerful? ”

Tingting thought for a while and said: "People who play Tai Chi will not fight hard with their opponents, but borrow the strength of their opponents, and they can defeat their opponents with a little more force at the right time." As she spoke, she stood across from Zhuangzhuang, "Come, you give me a punch to try." ”

Zhuang Zhuang looked at Tingting, raised his hand and punched Tingting's right arm. Tingting didn't block it, didn't move it to the side, and didn't dodge, but grabbed his arm and pulled it forward gently, and Zhuang Zhuang almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, I see!" Zhuang Zhuang seemed to have made a new discovery, "You are pushing in the direction I am exerting, so you don't have to work hard to knock me down." ”

Tingting grinned and said, "I only used four taels of force just now, but you used a thousand catties of force, and in the end you fell." That's four or two thousand pounds. ”

"Now I understand!" Zhuang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "It seems that Taijiquan is not about force, but about using skillful force, or in saying that the hand is quick and the eye is quick, and the force of the attack is instantly dissolved, so that the opponent's power to hit people becomes the force to bring down himself." ”

"It doesn't seem to be complete to say that," Tingting pondered for a moment, "Tai Chi also requires force, and the strength will be greater." It has not only the power of muscle, but also the power of qi and blood. That is to say, when exerting force, the qi and blood in the whole body should also be gathered at the place where the force is exerted, so that the force of the blow will be doubled. Therefore, when playing Tai Chi, you must use Qigong. ”

"Oh, I see!" There was light in Zhuangzhuang's eyes, and he seemed to understand Taijiquan, "So to learn Taijiquan, you must also learn Qigong." ”

"I can't say it either, that's what it means anyway!" Tingting told Zhuang Zhuang everything she knew, and she felt that Zhuang Zhuang should understand.

"Listening to what you say, then it's the most suitable for me to learn Tai Chi!" Zhuang Zhuang also became excited, "It turned out that I wanted to learn martial arts, but my father said that my body couldn't adapt to it, so I could only learn Tai Chi first, and then expand the scope of learning when my body was stronger." ”

"Yes! It is best to learn Tai Chi when you are weak, because it moves slowly and does not require a lot of physical strength. If you learn other types of boxing first, your physical strength may not be able to keep up, and if you don't do it well, it will cause a recurrence of old diseases. Tingting analyzed.

"Hey, it turns out that I want to learn martial arts, just to be able to enhance my physique and learn some self-defense skills, but my body can't adapt to it. Since Tai Chi also has these two functions, and my body can adapt to it, it is appropriate to learn Tai Chi. ”

"And when do you want to start learning?" Tingting asked eagerly.

"Dad said let me practice the basic skills first, and then study after a while." Zhuang Zhuang replied.

"You have a recurrence of your condition now, you should pay attention. Let's take our time! Tingting looked at Zhuang Zhuang and asked.

The two walked forward while chatting, and unconsciously came to the crossroads, as long as they turned to the left and walked a few steps to the gate of the compound in the south area of Shuiqiao.

Suddenly, Zhuang Zhuang accidentally found that at the northeast corner of the intersection, loaches and toads were standing on the side of the road chatting! So he tilted his head over there, lowered his voice, and said, "Look, the loaches and toads are standing over there!" ”

Tingting looked up, it was really! The two men were standing there with their schoolbags bowed and their heads down, whispering, as if they were talking quite speculatively. The two of them have been away from us for a long time, and they haven't returned home yet, and they are still chatting on the side of the road! "What are they talking about? I don't even want to go home. Tingting moved her mouth and whispered.

The southeast corner of this intersection is an electronics factory, and the main entrance of the factory is in the middle of the north wall, and across the north wall is a bungalow area, where loaches and toads live.

"Do they live in this bungalow area?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"By the way, they live in this bungalow area." Tingting seemed to remember, "There are four alleys on the north side of the crossroads, the loach seems to live in the first alley, and the toad seems to live in the second alley." She nodded as if she understood, "They don't want to go back when they get home." ”

"Then why don't they go home and talk?" Zhuang Zhuang pondered.

"If you can't figure it out, we're still talking about the two of us!" Tingting estimated, "Anyway, there won't be any good things, I don't know what bad ideas I'm thinking!" ”

"Ignore them, let's go!" Zhuang Zhuang pulled Tingting.

"Let's go! Let's go home. Tingting said and walked west with Zhuang Zhuang, and then turned into the south area of Shuiqiao.
