Teacher Liu "giggled" and laughed: "Fur? Hehe...... Zhan Zhizhan, don't be too modest. Am I in the right place? You're welcome, tell me how I can improve my method of learning Simplified Taijiquan. ”

Zhan Zhizhan knew that he couldn't be polite anymore, so he said to Teacher Liu seriously: ""Simplified Taijiquan" is to facilitate the promotion of Taijiquan among the common people, in 1956, on the basis of "Yang's Taijiquan", the complicated and repetitive movements were deleted, and the 24 styles were selected and compiled into "Simplified Taijiquan". "Simplified Tai Chi" is easy to practice and is a good routine for fitness. However, there are too few boxing styles in the "Simplified Taijiquan", and the full set is only twenty-four styles. The amount of exercise is too small, the exercise time is too short, and you can't enter the state of Tai Chi by practicing a routine. I heard that last year, in order to meet the needs of the common people to practice boxing, the State Sports Commission also absorbed the strengths of Chen, Yang, Wu and Wu, and compiled the "Forty-Eight Simplified Taijiquan". ”

Teacher Liu smiled: "Zhan Zhizhan, I said that your Tai Chi kung fu is good!" Don't push me out with a single move of Tai Chi. "Forty-Eight Styles of Simplified Taijiquan" has not yet been popularized, and far water does not quench thirst. My 'Taijiquan Club' is not going to practice "Simplified Taijiquan 24 Styles" in the future, you have to talk to me about the disadvantages of "Simplified Taijiquan 24 Styles", I have to have a reason. ”

Seeing that he was misunderstood by Teacher Liu, Zhan Zhizhan scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "I don't dare to slack off on Teacher Liu's affairs, how can I push it out?" "Simplified Taijiquan Twenty-four Styles" is a move to deal with the enemy in front of the front with the "Progressive Split Exhibition" at the beginning, which violates the principle of learning martial arts first and then difficult. This 'Wild Horse Mane Split' is a more complex move in terms of technical strikes. It is also necessary to make continuous progress in three styles, which is more difficult for beginners. Besides, in terms of spirit, at the beginning, we should practice 'sub-exhibition potential', and if we go up and down, scholars cannot understand it without a foundation, and they cannot start to practice, let alone practice well. This kind of routine arrangement violates the principle of 'from simple to complex, from easy to difficult', unless it is practiced into 'Tai Chi Exercise' that has no technical significance and no mental movement, which is actually the practice method of the vast majority of people. Taking a step back, even if someone can practice the 'wild horse mane' movement at the beginning of the school, it still violates the principle that the beginner exercise should 'lower the heart fire first, and first make the heart and kidney intersect', which is very unfavorable for beginners' healing and fitness. ”

Seeing that Teacher Liu listened with relish and nodded frequently, Zhan Zhizhan came to his senses and said, "However, Yang's Taijiquan is different. Yang's Taijiquan has a total of 85 styles, the boxing frame is stretched and concise, the structure is rigorous, the body is correct, the movements are smooth, and the light and calm are both. The practice method is from loose to soft, rigid and soft, forming a unique style. ”

Teacher Liu smiled: "Zhan Zhizhan, don't rush to tell me the characteristics of Yang's Taijiquan first, can you tell me the story of "Yang-style Taijiquan" first?" I can deepen my impression, buy and sell now, show off, and tell my students about it. ”

Zhan Zhizhan smiled innocently: "Hehe...... Haven't I become a good teacher? Teacher Liu is from a professional class, and I am showing off in front of Teacher Liu, isn't there a suspicion that Guan Gong is slashing a big knife in front of him, and the class is getting an axe! ”

Teacher Liu smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a slit, interrupting Zhan Zhizhan's words: "Yes! Get! Get! Don't tell me you don't need it, okay? When did you become such a writhing person! ”

Zhan Zhizhan scratched his head and said with a smile: "That...... That's it! Yang's Taijiquan was developed and created by Yang Luchan, a Yongnian native of Handan, Hebei Province, and his sons Yang Banhou and Yang Jianhou, and grandsons Yang Shaohou and Yang Chengfu on the basis of Chen's Laojia Taijiquan. ”

Teacher Liu nodded and smiled: "I have read the villain book about the story of Yang Luchan's "Stealing Teachers and Learning Arts". Hehe......"

Then, Mr. Liu shook his head and told the story of Yang Luchan stealing the art of learning like a storyteller.

After Mr. Liu finished telling the story of Yang Luchan's "Stealing Teachers to Learn Art", Zhan Zhizhan smiled and said: "Teacher Liu is really studious!" When Yang Lu became a Zen artist, he was already forty years old. Later, Yang Luchan's grandsons Yang Shaohou and Yang Chengfu carried forward his mastery. In particular, Yang Chengfu was based on the big frame, and finally formed Yang-style Taijiquan, which is the popular "Yang Family Taiji Big Frame" today.

Teacher Liu opened his eyes and listened attentively to what Zhan Zhizhan said here, and asked, "Does Yang's Taijiquan have a boxing book?" ”

"Absolutely! Yang's Taijiquan Spectrum is an evolution of Yang Luchan's "Chengou Boxing Spectrum" brought back by Chen Jiagou when he returned to Yongnian. Zhan Zhizhan then wrenched his fingers and talked about the content of "Yang Lu Chan Taijiquan Spectrum" like a few treasures.

When Zhan Zhizhan talked about the acupoint method and the method of fighting, Teacher Liu asked in surprise, "What?" Can Yang's Taijiquan still point points? ”

Zhan Zhizhan nodded and replied solemnly: "Yes! "Tai Chi Point Point Method" is one of the high-level exercises studied and practiced by the Yang Tai Chi Fu School, and it is also the family kung fu of the descendants of Yang Tai Chi in the past dynasties, and they will never show it easily. ”

Teacher Liu was like an innocent and cute little girl at this time, and asked curiously, "Will you?" ”

Zhan Zhizhan smiled bitterly: "Since it is a secret that is not passed on, how can I do it." However, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and it is inevitable that I will bump and bump, but my father passed on to me a set of massage techniques made from the 24 mantras of "Tai Chi Point Acupoint Method". ”

Teacher Liu asked again: "Do you know a rough idea of the "Tai Chi Point Acupoint Method" after learning the twenty-four formulas?" ”

Facing Teacher Liu's questioning, Zhan Zhizhan smiled helplessly and said, "If it's that simple, it can't be called a 'unique secret'." There are a total of 108 acupuncture points in the human body, of which 36 are dead acupoints, and 8 acupuncture points can kill people instantly. When teaching the "Tai Chi Point Acupoint Method", it must be passed on to those who are kind and noble in martial arts, and it can be passed on to daughters-in-law rather than daughters. ”

Teacher Liu thought for a moment and asked, "That's ...... You always know the names of those 24 techniques, right? ”

Zhan Zhizhan didn't understand why Mr. Liu attached so much importance to these forms at first, and then suddenly realized. She wants to buy and sell now, showing that she is knowledgeable. Fortunately, these names are easy to remember, and Zhan Zhizhan said the names of the twenty-four techniques with his fingers straight.

Teacher Liu frowned and said, "I understand!" Yang's Taijiquan has strict requirements for the hand-eye-body method, practicing boxing and pushing hands, and the hand-eye-body method and step can be done correctly according to the requirements in order to receive good results. Are those of my students practicing appropriately? ”

Zhan Zhizhan smiled: "Suitable!" Suitable! Couldn't be more suitable! Because Yang's Taijiquan practice method is simple, the boxing frame stretches beautifully, the body is correct, the action is smooth, the straight is solid, from loose to soft, rigid and soft, in one go, just like boating in the lake light and calm both, so it is deeply loved by the people. Ordinary people practice Yang's Taijiquan very extensively. ”

Saying that, Zhan Zhizhan began to practice from the "preparatory style". "Tail of the bird", "single whip", "handle the style" and so on, one by one moves such as the Yangtze River, gushing endlessly. After practicing a set of Tai Chi, Zhan Zhizhan's face was not red or panting, but his forehead was slightly sweaty.

Teacher Liu watched Zhan Zhizhan's demonstration of the eighty-five styles of "Yang's Taijiquan" very seriously, and she pondered and forgot to applaud. After a while, Teacher Liu said with a heavy heart: "It seems that the 85 styles of "Yang's Taijiquan" are much more complicated than the "Simplified Taijiquan 24 Styles", can my students' physical fitness withstand it?" ”

Zhan Zhizhan replied, "Don't worry about this. The 85-style boxing frame of "Yang's Taijiquan" is divided into high, medium and low. If you are a beginner, you can use different levels of boxing to adjust the amount of exercise appropriately according to different ages, genders, physical conditions, and different requirements. It is not only suitable for those with good physical strength to enhance physical fitness, but also suitable for the infirm as a means of treatment and health care. ”

Zhan Zhizhan was addicted to lecturing to others, and he didn't care if Teacher Liu could understand it or not, just like his father gave him a lecture on boxing theory, his mouth was like a river, foaming at the mouth, and he was talking in the vernacular. After talking for a long time about the harmony of yin and yang, yang eliminates yin, yang is not born, and solitary yin is not long, he straightened out his breath and said: "Walking on the frame and the speed is even, which is the uniqueness of "Yang's Taijiquan". Although individual movements can be done a little faster, they are generally smooth. Even movements such as 'turning and swinging' and 'turning and pushing left' still emphasize even speed. This requires the center of gravity to be slowly reversed when the action is changed, rising and falling lightly, starting and falling from the point, and the speed is consistent, rather than advocating 'fast and slow'. 'Walking like a cat, moving like a thread'. ”

"Oh maa...... This is also troublesome! It sounded like my head was going to explode. Teacher Liu muttered in his mouth, as if he was not giving up, and asked Zhan Zhizhan again: "Then how do you understand 'the whole body is round and coherent'?" ”

Zhan Zhizhan replied: "The 'circle' in Taijiquan means that all the movements of Taijiquan are arc-shaped semicircles. 'Live' means that the movements are not sluggish. Up and down, step with the body, manual, waist movement, foot movement, eyes also move, nothing moving, nothing still. The circle of Tai Chi is like a sphere in three-dimensional space, touching any point will cause the entire sphere to rotate and displace, next to each other. Coherence means that the connection between the movements is very close, and there is no obvious disconnection phenomenon, such as flowing clouds and flowing water, surging Yangtze River waves, continuous. ”

Speaking of this, Zhan Zhizhan began to make a gesture: "Teacher Liu, you see, it's like 'left knee awkward step' followed by the 'hand waving pipa', when hugging the left knee and pushing the right palm, with the little finger of the right palm leading the side palm forward, with the inertia of the body moving forward, the right heel is naturally raised, and half a step forward is followed, and it is the beginning of the 'hand waving pipa'." Take the beginning and end of this action as an example, the "combination" of "left knee step" is also the "beginning" of the momentum of "hand waving pipa", and the action must be coherent and natural. ”

Teacher Liu nodded and said, "I understand. What about 'soft and slow movements'? ”

"This Teacher Liu is also so hungry when he learns Taijiquan, it is really a rare material for learning martial arts, but it's a pity that ......" Zhan Zhizhan muttered to himself, and still said: "There is no obvious vigorous action such as bouncing, jumping, and shaking feet in the boxing frame of "Yang's Taijiquan", forming his own unique style of Dasong and Rou. This is a unique practice method to increase the power from loose to soft, and to move soft into rigid. It is also a way to strengthen the body for all ages. This style of boxing and walking with big looseness and softness, and hidden needles in the cotton, is also in line with the philosophical thought of Lao Tzu, the originator of Taoism, that weakness is better than strength, and that inaction governs. ”
