Chapter 13 Tai Chi (1)

After returning home, Jiang Jiujiu calculated, how much money was left this time?

A total of 256 taels and 168 dollars. In addition to the money for daily necessities, food and clothing, plus books, the ten taels used were still 246 taels and 168 yuan.

"Dad, we're rich now!" Jiang Haochen said on the side.

"Well, we've got money now! You can't go out and talk nonsense. Beware of being looked down upon. Jiang Meng looked at a few people and admonished.

"Well, we got it, Dad!" A few people should arrive.

After eating, Jiang Meng called a few children around. "Now that there is another war, it is estimated that the days in the future will not be easy, so you will get up early tomorrow morning and practice with me."

"Yes"

"Alright, that's it! Wash up and go to sleep! ”

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Jiujiu got up, boiled the multigrain porridge in the pot on the fire, and went to the yard to play Tai Chi in September.

Jiang Meng woke up when he arrived in the courtyard in September, and when he walked out of the door, he saw such a scene in front of him.

The girl was dressed in short brown and combed a ponytail, her movements were stretched, she was free to retract, and her demeanor was natural...... Practice boxing with great dedication and dedication.

I saw Jiang Jiujiu standing in the middle of the field, the whole place seemed to have a majestic momentum, her hand seemed to be touching an invisible ball, when touching, it seemed to merge with the wind, becoming soft and soft, but it also made people feel that there was infinite power hidden in it, and it could rush out at any time and make a loud noise. She lifted her hands up, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to be sublimated because of this, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, a little proud, but not too high. September's foot drew a clear arc on the ground, although it seemed very light, but if someone was kicked, it would inevitably fall on his heels.

"Good, good, that's great! Subtle and introverted, continuous, soft to overcome rigidity, rapid and slow, flowing clouds, rigid and soft. Jiang Meng clapped his hands after watching September's Taijiquan. Then he came again: "Girl, this punch method is also taught by the immortal in the dream?" ”

"Daddy! You're up. ”

"Well, get up and punch! At the beginning, I said that you would learn from me in the future, but now I find that your boxing technique is better and exquisite.

Your punch is more suitable, but unfortunately it can't play the greatest effect without the support of internal force. Jiang Meng said regretfully.

"You're a good punch. What is a punch? Jiang Meng asked.

"Tai Chi!"

"Taijiquan ......" Jiang Meng repeated this, looked at Jiujiu and pondered. After a while, he was a little embarrassed to speak: "That, girl, this Tai Chi, um~ I ...... Can you learn? ”

"Yes!" Jiang Jiujiu agreed.

"That's good, in the future, you will learn the practice of internal force with your father, and I, ah, will also learn this Taijiquan." Jiang Meng said with a smile.

It didn't take long for a few small ones to get up......

"Dad, big sister, morning!"

"Dad will teach us to practice martial arts!"

"Well, after eating, it will start."

"Okay, is the eldest sister's meal ready?" Jiang Haochen asked.

"I'll take a look!" September turned around and went into the kitchen. In September, I took a spoon and scooped it, and when I saw that the porridge was ready, I took it in a bowl and served it.

"It's time to eat!" September now shouted at the kitchen door. Then bring the meal to the table in the cubicle.

"It's coming!" A few people should go into the house to eat.

Meal......

"Taijiquan is subtle and introverted, continuous, with softness to overcome rigidity, rapid and slow, flowing water boxing style so that the practitioner's mind, qi, shape, and spirit gradually tend to the supreme realm of harmony, and its requirements for martial arts cultivation also make practitioners improve their own quality while enhancing their physique, and enhance the harmony and harmony between man and nature, man and society. At the same time, Tai Chi does not exclude the training of physical fitness, and pays attention to both rigidity and softness.

The basic content of Tai Chi includes Tai Chi health theory, Tai Chi boxing routines, Tai Chi equipment routines, Tai Chi push hands and Tai Chi auxiliary training methods. Its boxing routines include a large frame one, two roads, a small frame one road, and two roads. The instrument routines have the characteristics of single knife, double knife, single sword, double sword, single sword, double sword, gun, big rod and Qinglong Yanyue knife.

Taijiquan is unique in terms of technique and distinctive characteristics. It requires static braking, overcoming rigidity with softness, avoiding reality and emptiness, leveraging strength, advocating that everything should be based on objectivity, living with others, and stagnation by oneself. "If he doesn't move, he will move first", "the last to strike, first to come", bring in the opponent, make him weightless and miss, or disperse and transfer the opponent's strength, take advantage of the weakness, and fight back with all his might. This principle of Taijiquan is embodied in the training of pushing hands and the essentials of taolu movements, which can not only train people's physical qualities such as reaction ability, strength and speed, but also have great significance in offensive and defensive combat training.

Taijiquan techniques all follow the principle of yin and yang, with "induction, transformation and combination" as the main technical process. In the technical hit, the strength of the listening force perceives the size and direction of the opponent's force, "follow the trend and change its path", and then use the force to dissolve, and then use the force to exert force.

The eight kinds of strength of Taijiquan: 掤 (used to resolve or force people together), 捋 (used to use force to gravitate backwards), squeeze (to the lower plate of the external force), press (to the upper plate of the external force, or to do the reverse joint holding method), Cai (to force the opponent to force, or to do the method), 挒 (to destroy the opponent's balance with the strength of the side of the force), elbow (to hit people with the tip of the elbow), leaning (to hit people with the front and back of the shoulder). Its characteristics: "to overcome the rigid with softness, to wait for the movement, to round the straight, to win the big with the small, to the weak to defeat the strong".

Strong adaptability, Tai Chi movements are soft, the speed is slow, the boxing style is not difficult to learn, and the high or low posture, the size of the exercise can be different according to the individual's physique, can adapt to different ages, the needs of the physique, not the old and weak. Whether it is theoretical research or hands-on practice, whether it is to improve skills and kung fu, or to maintain longevity, whether it is an individual who improves himself in life, he can participate in Tai Chi and obtain his own needs from it.

Good safety, Tai Chi is loose and supple, round and smooth, and the intention is not to use force, which can not only eliminate the original clumsy stiffness of the practitioner, but also avoid the damage of muscles, joints, ligaments and other organs. It can not only change people's exertion habits and instincts, but also avoid the possibility of chest tightness and tension caused by improper exertion and improper breathing, and obstruction of qi and blood. ”

Jiang Jiujiu explained the characteristics of Taijiquan, and then talked about the main points of practice.

"The general song of the boxing scripture

Indulgence and bending and stretching people don't know, and I rely on all entanglements.

Splitting and pushing progress is made, and it is difficult to beat the cross-mining.

The hook shed forces everyone to know, who knows?

Feint to lose and deceive whoever loses, and lure backlash to win.

The rolling tie is subtle, and the horizontal slash is even more strange.

Intercept and block through the elbow, and take the red envelope in the wind;

Second, change the sweeping pressure hanging noodle feet, and the left and right hairpins and legs;

Seamless lock after the front and press, the sound of the east and west to be familiar;

The top and bottom baskets must be remembered, and the attack is not delayed.

There is a hidden head cover in the world, and it is rare in the world to chop the ribs.

Teachers don't know this reason, and it is difficult to judge martial arts.

Essentials

False collar top strength: the head and neck seem to be lifted upward, and maintain integrity, to be loose but not stiff can be rotated, the strength is upright, the center of gravity of the body can remain stable.

Chest and back, shoulders and elbows: Refers to the posture of the chest, back, shoulders and elbows, the chest should not be straight, the shoulders should not shrug but should be heavy, the elbows should not be lifted but drooped, and the whole body should be naturally relaxed.

Hand and eye corresponding, with the waist as the axis, moving like a cat, distinguishing between virtual and real: finger punching must echo up and down, integrated into one, requiring the action to be out of intention, hair in the waist, move in the hand, eyes with the hand, two lower limbs lunge and virtual step clear and alternate, practice to the leg on the strength, light move slowly without sound.

The intention is not forceful: it must not be one-sided to understand without force. If the boxing is soft, the body does not heat up after a set of punches, does not sweat, and the heart rate does not change, which loses the effect of boxing. The correct understanding should be to use the mind to draw out the body movements, and use force at will, although the strength is great, but the appearance cannot be seen, that is, the meaning of secretly exerting strength with the will.

The will and qi are in harmony, and the qi is sinking into the dantian: that is, the intention is matched with the breathing, and the breathing should be used to breathe in the abdomen, and the inhalation and exhale are just matched with the opening and closing of the action.

Seeking stillness in motion, combining movement and stillness: that is, the body moves and the brain is quiet, and the mind should focus on boxing.

The style is uniform and continuous: it refers to the uniform speed and slowness of the movements of each move, and the various styles are continuous, and the muscles of all parts of the body are relaxed, coordinated and closely connected.

Tai Chi requires relaxation and naturalness, which allows a part of the cerebral cortex to enter a state of protective inhibition and rest. At the same time, boxing can activate emotions and play a regulating role in the brain, and the more skilled you are, the more you must "first in the heart, then in the body" and concentrate on guiding the movements. Such long-term persistence will restore and improve brain function, and eliminate various chronic diseases caused by nervous system disorders. Tai Chi requires the "Qi Shen Dantian", and the intentional use of abdominal breathing increases the depth of breathing, which is conducive to improving respiratory function and blood circulation. Through easy and gentle exercise, the old and frail people can be comforted by the meridians, the metabolism is vigorous, and the physique and function can be enhanced. In the past 100 years, Taijiquan has been gradually promoted at home and abroad because it has the function of preventing and curing diseases, and has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on neurasthenia, heart disease, hypertension, tuberculosis, tracheitis, ulcer disease and other chronic diseases. Patients with severe conditions should exercise under the guidance of medical personnel.

Live coordinated, move consistently, do as you like. Only when the body is light and agile can you then master the ability to exercise qi. The second stage is to practice internal form, also known as internal strength. First of all, with consciousness as a guide, practice the integration of intention, qi, and boxing, from the appearance to the inner shape. Body style is the key link in the internal shape of the organization and the generation of internal strength. Therefore, every move must be from the inside and outside to achieve the unity of the inside and outside. This is the principle of "nothing is moving, nothing is still". The body, hands, and footwork must be coordinated with each other to achieve the purpose of dominating the shape with the inner shape. ”
