In the grove in Donghu Park, Mr. Chen and Zhuang Zhuang were playing Tai Chi, and they were playing the 125 styles created by Mr. Chen. In the last few exercises of the master and apprentice www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", Mr. Chen has played this set of Taijiquan with Zhuangzhuang, the purpose is to make him proficient in this set of the latest boxing methods, so that he can use them flexibly.

After more than ten minutes, this set of punches was finished. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Chen took Zhuang Zhuang to fight the old second road. This set of Tai Chi also requires strong and proficient mastery, and soon this set of Tai Chi Boxing was completed.

Zhuang Zhuang handed the towel hanging from the branch to Teacher Chen, who wiped his sweat and said, "Why do you need to be particularly proficient in these two sets of Tai Chi?" The main purpose is to combine the qigong you practice with tai chi. Now that your Qigong has opened up the big and small weeks, it's time to apply it. ”

Hearing what Teacher Chen said, Zhuang Zhuang immediately became excited: "Do you still need to practice the combination of qigong and tai chi?" ”

Teacher Chen smiled and said, "Of course! Now your qigong and tai chi are separated, practicing tai chi is just practicing tai chi, practicing qigong is just practicing qigong, the two are not combined, so the effect of tai chi can not be fully played. Of course, sometimes when you are doing one or two Tai Chi movements, you can also deliberately use Qigong, but you need to use your mind to direct the Qi in your body, and then exert force, which is very slow to use and does not meet the needs of actual combat. ”

Zhuang Zhuang does have this experience, when playing the white plank, you need to lead the qi of the dantian to your hands first, and then you can exert your strength. He said excitedly: "Is it possible to let the qi in the body follow the fist technique after training?" ”

"That's right! The purpose of our training is to let the qi follow the boxing method, every move and every style can exert force, and if you want to exert force, you can exert force at any time, which is the real Taijiquan. As he spoke, Mr. Chen made two 125 movements, and moved to a small tree, and struck the small tree very casually, and the whole tree trembled and dropped a few green leaves.

Teacher Chen didn't exert any force, but the little tree shook very much.

Zhuang Zhuang also made these two movements and moved to the side of the small tree, and then struck the small tree with his palm, and the small tree only shook slightly. Zhuang Zhuang said: "I understand! Although you didn't exert yourself just now, but with the power of Qigong, the little tree still shook dramatically. And I don't borrow the power of qigong quickly, I just hit the small tree normally, so the small tree is not shaken. ”

"You're right, that's what it means!" Teacher Chen affirmed, "If you want to combine boxing and qi, you must be very proficient in both. ”

"Then why didn't you get the two of them together sooner?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

Teacher Chen smiled and said, "When you don't practice qigong, you can't combine it, because your big week is not connected, and your qi can't be transmitted to your hands and feet, so you can't combine it." ”

"Then why use one hundred and twenty-five styles to combine with qigong?" Zhuang Zhuang asked again.

"It doesn't have to be 125 styles, 83 styles are OK, that is to say, the longer the fist style, the better it is to practice the combination, and the faster you can master this combination. The fist style is short, and it is impossible to practice the combination at all, and it is difficult to master. Teacher Chen explained.

Zhuang Zhuang nodded, and then asked: "Does that mean that a person who can't practice Eighty-Three Style Taijiquan will not have qigong in his boxing method at all." ”

"Yes, that's usually the case!" Teacher Chen nodded, "Now, among the people who practice Tai Chi, there are very few people who can combine Qigong to do Tai Chi. The first is that they have not practiced qigong, and the second is that even if they know qigong, they have not practiced a combination of the two, so they cannot bring qigong in tai chi. ”

"I see!" Zhuang Zhuang nodded, "Is it also difficult to learn the combination of Tai Chi and Qigong?" ”

"I can't say it's hard, but it's not easy. It's like practicing calligraphy, it's not easy to write according to the calligraphy and write it like it, but it's even more difficult if you throw away the calligraphy and write it yourself. The same goes for practicing Qigong! Teacher Chen made an analogy.

Zhuang Zhuang didn't have any experience of this metaphor, because he had never practiced calligraphy, and he didn't know the relationship between entering and posting. But he understood what that meant, that is, it was not so easy to combine the two.

No matter how easy it is, if you have practiced qigong and have already practiced qigong, then you must master the combination of qigong and tai chi, if you don't master it, then you will become a person who can only fight boxing and can't use boxing! He went on to say, "I see! Teach me! It's not easy, but I have to master it completely! ”

"Good! From next time, I will teach you the combination of Qigong and Tai Chi. When you go back this week, you have to practice the 125 postures well, and you also have to practice qigong well, and the more proficient you are in both, the better it will be for you to master the combination of the two. Teacher Chen gave the order.

"Teacher Chen." A crisp and loud voice came, Zhuang Zhuang and Teacher Chen looked in the direction of the lake together, and the sea flower ran over.

Teacher Chen looked at Haihua, thought for a while and said, "I know you, your name is Haihua, the women's all-around champion of Taijiquan in the Young Games." He laughed, "Your Tai Chi is very good, especially that Wu Tai Chi is very authentic." ”

"Her master is the one who beat the Wu family!" Zhuang Zhuang looked at Teacher Chen and interjected.

"Oh, is your master from the city?" Teacher Chen thought for a moment and asked with a smile.

Haihua nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Isn't it almost seventy?" Teacher Chen seems to have guessed it.

Haihua nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Your master's name is Wu Quanhai," Teacher Chen smiled, "He is my senior brother." ”

Haihua was stunned and asked, "Didn't you learn Chen's Tai Chi?" But my master doesn't know Chen's Tai Chi! How did you become brothers? ”

"Twenty-five years ago, I studied Wu's Taijiquan for a few years, and I was with your master." Teacher Chen continued to laugh, "He's a great guy! I have long heard that he came to Hengzhou City, but I have never seen him, this time it is okay, I can see him go. ”

"That's great! I'll go back and tell my master, and he'll be happy. Haihua said excitedly, "I just said that Uncle Chen wants to see you." ”

Haihua spoke very smartly, and skillfully said Mr. Chen's seniority, and at the same time naturally narrowed the relationship with Mr. Chen.

Zhuang Zhuang was also surprised, how to say that he said an uncle, it was really interesting. He thinks it's a good thing to be able to have such a little intimacy with the sea flower. So he said, "Then I and Haihua are also related!" What is this called? ”

"It's not a relative, it's a family relationship." Teacher Chen corrected with a smile and said, "You and Haihua are cousins. After saying that, he laughed.

Haihua looked at Zhuang Zhuang and smiled. (To be continued.) )
