A trace of excitement and anticipation flashed in Lin Pingzhi's eyes. He decided to try again and use this new way of power to fight against him. Take a deep breath, gather the strength of your whole body, and then gently raise your arms, as if you are leisurely waving a willow catkins.

Xuan Cheng looked up at Lin Pingzhi's movements, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Are you still going to continue playing?" Do you think this kind of move can deal with me? ”

Lin Pingzhi smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence: "I'm not playing, I'm exploring new ways to fight." It's a mule or a horse, but I'm sure this time, I'll make you understand once and for all that strength doesn't depend solely on the strength of your muscles. ”

Xuan Cheng sneered and mocked loudly: "Okay, I want to see how useful your new tricks can be!" ”

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly, and a surge of determination surged in his heart. He gathered the strength of his whole body again, and then gently swung out a palm.

With a loud bang, the air seemed to explode, and the invisible force spread rapidly. Xuan Cheng's body was instantly shocked and flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Pingzhi stared at the scene in front of him with joy in his heart, and he knew that he had found a new way to exert power, which would become a powerful weapon for him in future battles.

He began to compare the bird's tail moves used by Zhang Sanfeng with his own thinking. At the same time, Lin Pingzhi also recalled the thirteen styles of Tai Chi in his previous life, and he suddenly found that these thirteen potentials are the basic structure of Tai Chi and are widely used in various moves. In other words, the various movements of Tai Chi are made up of one or several of the thirteen potentials.

Originally, there were no fixed moves for these thirteen potentials, but specific movements and moves were formed according to actual needs. This is like the result of movement to defeat the enemy, so there is a saying: "Tai Chi is impossible, movement is the law." So, what exactly are these thirteen potentials? And according to what standard do they move?

Lin Pingzhi began to study the principles of Taijiquan in depth. The founder of Taijiquan created the "Thirteen Potentials" of Taijiquan according to the concept of Bagua in "Yi Xue". Understanding the overall meaning of these thirteen potentials is the key to a deep understanding of the connotation of Taijiquan.

Although the creators of Tai Chi did not leave a literal definition of the thirteen potentials, we can explore their meaning from their names. By studying the origin of the thirteen potentials in the Principles and the sounds and shapes of the characters that resemble them, we can find useful inspiration for the technique of boxing and explain its meaning in conjunction with the understanding of Taijiquan.

In order to understand the overall significance of the thirteen potentials, Wang Zongyue, the ancestor of Taijiquan, clearly expounded the overall content of the thirteen potentials in his article "Taijiquan Interpretation of Names". He divided the thirteen potentials into two parts: the long fist and the thirteen potentials. The characteristics of Changquan are that the movements are coherent and continuous like the Yangtze River, while the thirteen potentials include eight movements, such as squeezing, squeezing, pressing, picking, squeezing, elbowing, and leaning, as well as five steps: advancing, retreating, looking, and fixing.

Lin Pingzhi was ecstatic at these discoveries, and he suddenly felt that he had mastered the essence of the Thirteen Potentials and would be able to become more comfortable in the cultivation of Taijiquan. He's determined to delve into these punches in the hopes of being able to play with ease and show his true prowess in future fights.

He recalled that when he was learning Taijiquan in his previous life, Mr. Wang Zongyue's explanation of the Thirteen Potentials was simply to the point and wonderful. The boxing method, boxing theory, structure and operating framework are perfectly integrated to form the essence of Taijiquan. The Eight Gates (Eight Strengths) and the Five Steps are the structure and content of the boxing method, while the Bagua and the Five Elements are the operating framework of the boxing method. This framework can be said to be the foundation of the thirteen potentials, and the two must be unified with each other. If there is a framework but no content, then the framework is empty; If you have content and lose the framework, then the content has no direction.

If the source (Bagua, the source of the five elements) is lost, the name "Thirteen Potentials" becomes meaningless. Only by combining the above two aspects can we truly reflect the connotation of the thirteen potentials. Of course, this is only based on the thirteen potentials described in the "Interpretation of Names", and as for the discussion of adding other words after "thirteen potentials", that is another matter.

The word "thirteen potentials", as the name suggests, is derived from the addition of eight and five. The eight gates (eight jin) and five steps of Taijiquan together form the thirteen potentials. The Bagua and the Five Elements are fused with each other, and the upper and lower parts complement each other to form the Thirteen Potentials.

In the requirements of the thirteen potentials, the eight doors and five steps must correspond to the eight trigrams and the five elements, and must not be confused. To put it simply, it is necessary to figure out how to correspond: the four positive energies and the four corners of the eight energies of Tai Chi correspond to the four positive hexagrams and the four oblique hexagrams. The five steps need to correspond to the five elements and be paired according to the corresponding positions.

Lin Pingzhi's heart blossomed, and he was determined to keep these discoveries in mind and continue to ponder in order to reach a higher level in his future Taijiquan practice. He is confident that he can show his true strength in battle.

First of all, he found that the four positive strengths of the four positive strengths of the kan (north), li (south), zhen (east), and dui (west) of the four positive hexagrams are so complementary; The four oblique angles of Cai, Zhu, elbow, and lean echo each other with the four oblique angles of Qian (northwest), Kun (southwest), Gen (northeast), and Xun (southeast); The five steps of advance, retreat, care, hope, and determination also correspond one-to-one with gold (west), wood (east), water (north), fire (south), and earth (middle). This corresponding pattern is a typical feature of the thirteen potentials.

Lin Ping was secretly glad that these discoveries had made him better understand the subtleties of Taijiquan. It is as if he has been integrated into the operation of the universe and is closely connected with all things in heaven and earth. He decided to incorporate these insights into his boxing arsenal in hopes of showcasing unrivaled prowess in future fights.

However, to truly understand the thirteen potentials of Tai Chi, one cannot only think in terms of technique, which is only half of the understanding of the thirteen potentials. Because the word "Thirteen Potentials" comes from Bagua and the Five Elements, it has lost its source, only focusing on the details and ignoring the fundamentals, and this understanding still cannot be completely matched.

The Thirteen Potentials of Tai Chi is a unique set of martial arts that combines moves with practical experience. When applying, you must follow the rules of the five elements in order to effectively defeat the enemy. At the same time, the principle of Tai Chi is endless, and the mind, energy, qi and spirit are constantly in operation, so as to reach a superb realm.
