Chapter 65: Tai Chi Grandmaster

After taking a seat, serving tea, Chen Lao began to introduce the history of Chen's Tai Chi.

"Chenjiagou Taijiquan, W County, Hedong Province, has been passed down from generation to generation, and its frame style and strength are not the same as the Taiji of general practice, and it is called Chen's Taijiquan.

In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1374), the Chen family moved from Dahuaishu in DT County, SX Province to W County, Hedong Province. The heirs reproduced with the Chen clan, and then changed the name of Changyang Village to Chenjiagou. Since Chen Bu, the ancestor of the Chen family, Taijiquan has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has a history of 600 years.

In the course of 600 years, Chen's Taijiquan has been clearly recorded in the genealogy of the Chen family and the writings of the descendants of the Chen family. Chen's Taijiquan adopts the theory of yin and yang, with the principle of opening and closing with movement and static, and the method of rigidity, softness, emptiness and reality, which is the technique of mutual practice of lightness, calmness and slowness. ”

Speaking of the boxing techniques he has practiced for many years, Chen Lao is full of energy and energy.

"With the development of society, after the era of cold weapons, Taijiquan has gradually evolved from actual combat boxing to fitness boxing, and now, it has been a health boxing type of sports and fitness in the country and even the world, mainly divided into 24 types of Taijiquan and 36 types of Taijiquan. ”

Subsequently, he asked the two disciples around him to compare some basic essentials of Taijiquan, such as qi collection, cloud hands and other movements. Long Yifeng felt that Chen Lao's comprehension of Taijiquan itself was considered to the extreme, and he integrated his own Taijiquan into calligraphy, which was even more of a creation. An old man like this, whether it is a martial arts cultivation or a calligraphy realm, has a certain height.

However, due to the limitations of his thoughts and understanding, he has practiced Tai Chi for many years, and he has the qi of yin and yang in his body, but he has no real internal force, or his internal force cultivation has not yet reached a higher level.

Taijiquan belongs to the inner boxing, and it is not enough to only comprehend the boxing method, body method, and movement, but also to have a deep understanding of the Taiji song. Long Yifeng believes that at present, Chen Lao's comprehension of several aspects of Taijiquan is at its peak, but due to the limitations of his thoughts, he cannot get out of the framework of his predecessors, sticks to the traditional Chen's Taijiquan thinking, and lacks some creative application.

If you only talk about the understanding and cultivation of Tai Chi itself, it is estimated that Chen Lao is more clever than Long Yifeng. However, with a strong internal force as support and a comprehension of the Chiyou Codex, Long Yifeng's understanding of yin and yang, the five elements, and the eight trigrams is much higher than that of Chen Lao, and these things are the basis for the evolution and creation of Taijiquan, and it can also be said that Long Yifeng's cultivation and realm are higher than Chen Lao.

Chen Lao stood up and slowly practiced Taijiquan, while explaining the essentials of each movement and some understanding and experience of cultivation, he really gave Long Yifeng a good basic teaching lesson, and further deepened his basic knowledge of Taijiquan. Long Yifeng could see that Chen Lao's obsession and love for Taijiquan had been spent all his life popularizing and practicing Taijiquan.

After Chen Lao's drill and introduction were completed, Long Yifeng stood up and said:

"Chen Lao's cultivation and comprehension of Taijiquan is the most profound one I have seen, and he is worthy of a generation of Taiji masters. I also learned Tai Chi with my grandfather since I was a child, but the boxing method and cultivation are not so authentic. I have learned a lot, but my master told me that all behaviors and thoughts in the world evolve from natural phenomena, or people's thinking about nature, the so-called Tao and Nature.

I don't know if Chen Lao has ever thought that the thinking of Tai Chi comes from the creator's knowledge and understanding of yin and yang, and then the eight trigrams and five elements related to yin and yang interact with each other. However, a person's wisdom is always limited, and as the originator of Taijiquan, there must be a limit to the perception of the corresponding knowledge. Nowadays, when it comes to the realm of Chen Lao, why bother to tradition, why not try to study the ideas and connotations of books such as traditional Chinese studies, which may or may not be affected by some influences. ”

In fact, he has gained a deep understanding from many classics of Chinese culture, and there is a root law of the Chiyou Code, so his understanding of Taijiquan is beyond the boxing itself.

After Long Yifeng finished speaking, he also began to practice Taijiquan.

Different from Chen Lao's Taijiquan, the Taijiquan practiced by Long Yifeng focuses on moves, but pays more attention to fist intent. In order to make the people present, especially Chen Lao, have a deeper understanding of Taijiquan, he deliberately used the basic mental method of the Chiyou Codex, slowly practiced the Taiji Yin and Yang Bagua, and drove the Qi of the Five Elements.

As soon as he moved, the people present immediately felt that there was a kind of majestic aura surrounding them, the air was clear and harmonious, and the whole body was comfortable. Among them, Chen Lao was the most shocked. As a person who practices martial arts, he knows very well that all this is the result of Long Yifeng's practice of Taijiquan, and his cultivation and skill are higher than he doesn't know how many levels.

He understands that in Long Yifeng's understatement and flowing practice, the harmony and naturalness presented to them feel so fresh and natural, and there is a comfortable feeling of entering nature to breathe and wash their lungs. However, if it is in actual combat, the kind of comfort that Long Yifeng can control can be turned into a boundless killing aura, and ordinary people can't bear it at all!

You can also kill people with anger!

This thought popped up in Chen Lao's mind, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. If, at this moment, there is an enemy opposite Long Yifeng, it is really unimaginable. It turns out that there really are such characters in the world!

It turns out that human power can also cultivate to such a realm!

Chen Lao has lived for sixty or seventy years, and he can be regarded as truly seeing how high the realm of kung fu is.

They also saw in the movie that when the kung fu superstar practiced Taijiquan, the scene of dust and fallen leaves flying, they all felt that it was an exaggerated performance of the movie, although Taijiquan was exquisite, but it was impossible to reach that state.

At this moment, when I saw Long Yifeng's Tai Chi practice, I believed that that kind of kung fu really existed. Therefore, it greatly enhances and strengthens the confidence and determination to practice Taijiquan. They looked at Long Yifeng, eager to reach his current realm all of a sudden.

Li Lao and Xiao Yi were also stunned.

Although they are not people who practice martial arts, as Chinese people, they are somewhat influenced by some martial arts works, and they have a heartfelt respect and yearning for Chinese martial arts. At this moment, seeing that the young Long Yifeng is actually an unfathomable martial arts master, I feel a little incredible!

After Long Yifeng's drill was completed, everything around him returned to calm.

Chen Lao got up and walked in front of him, and said: "The seniors are extraordinary in martial arts, Chen Zhiwu has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he also asks the seniors to help him more." With that, he knelt down in front of Long Yifeng. Long Yifeng hurriedly stopped Chen Lao's behavior, supported Chen Lao with both hands and said, "Chen Lao, don't you, don't you torture me." ”

"The way of martial arts, the master is the teacher. The predecessors have profound martial arts, and they deserve to be worshiped by Chen Zhiwu. ”

"To borrow the words of Buddhism, Chen Lao is in good shape. Whether it is martial arts or calligraphy, it is just a way for us human beings to cultivate ourselves. You are older than me, you should belong to the elders, and you don't have to be formal. Chen Lao still called me Yifeng, so that I felt cordial and natural. Huh"

Li Lao said with a smile on the side: "Yifeng is right, heaven and earth are human, let it be." The cultivation of both of them is a grandmaster-level figure, so they don't have to be so modest and formal. ”

Of course, he can also see that Chen Lao belongs to the grandmaster-level figure in today's society, but Long Yifeng is indeed a super existence, and he can be regarded as the grandmaster of the grandmasters.

Subsequently, Long Yifeng told his own understanding of traditional culture about the five elements of yin and yang, the gossip of the nine palaces, etc., and those related to Taijiquan, and shared them with Chen Lao and others. Chen Lao was completely like a primary school student, listening carefully, and actively asking questions if he didn't understand. He didn't want to be bothered, and explained to him in detail, talking about the places that are closely integrated with Tai Chi, and also used movement drills as an aid.

Before you know it, an afternoon has passed.

Chen Lao insisted on leaving everyone to eat, and Long Yifeng and the others were no longer polite, and stayed at Chen's house to eat before leaving. During the banquet, Chen Lao invited Long Yifeng to come to Beiping many times and served as the head of their martial arts hall, and also said that he could solve the problems of household registration and school for him, but Long Yifeng politely refused.

In the end, they had to leave each other's contact information before they could reluctantly send Long Yifeng to the car.
