Looking at the development of the art of guiding from the long river of history, the origin of the art of guiding is only for the treatment of disease, but in the later application and development of the course of its application and development found that it also has the prevention of disease, health care and longevity of the efficacy of the inheritance and development.

The traditional Chinese martial arts emphasize the unity of inside and outside, rigidity and flexibility, the distinction between the real and the virtual, and the movement of static and static. The concepts of using intention and not force. The creation and development of these concepts, in addition to a strong significance of practical guidance, also has a close relationship with the objective laws of health and fitness. The creators and compilers of Taiji Guiding Gong have organically combined these traditional martial arts concepts and put forward similar or consistent requirements for practicing with traditional martial arts. In addition to a complete set of scientific and standardized standards for body movement, Taiji Guiding Gong especially emphasizes the requirements that coincide with traditional martial arts theories, especially the theory of Taijiquan, such as "Sinking the mind into the dantian, virtual spirit and top strength, qi should be drummed up, God should be restrained internally, and domination should be in the waist", etc., so that practitioners can fully experience and appreciate the concentrated Chinese traditional martial arts concepts and the principles of Taiji Guiding Gong in the process of practicing. In the process of practicing Taiji Guiding Gong, the practitioners can fully experience and appreciate the concentrated concepts of traditional Chinese martial arts, and also obtain the fitness effect of promoting the stagnation of qi and blood in the limbs and draining the turbid qi in the internal organs.

The theoretical basis of Taiji Guiding Gong is the Chinese cultural heritage of thousands of years of health care, medicine and martial arts. An important element in the theory of Chinese medicine is the theory of qi and blood, which originates from the "Neijing", which discusses the theory of disease generation based on yin and yang and attributed to qi and blood. "The owner of a human being is the qi and the blood," says Su Wen - The Theory of Regulating the Meridian. "Qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi." These ancient medical theories elucidated that the physical and mental diseases of human beings are caused by the imbalance of qi and blood, and at the same time, they also clarified the relationship between qi and blood and its importance. Taiji Guiding Gong is precisely the application of traditional medical theories of qi and blood, the internal and qi and blood as the first priority of this set of fitness gong methods, so that thousands of years of history of the accumulation of Chinese traditional medical treasures in the taiji guiding Gong has been fully applied, people in the practice of taiji guiding Gong at the same time, fully enjoy the well-being of the motherland's traditional medicine brought to the world.

What is the essence of Taijiquan? Since ancient times, there is no lack of researchers, but the Tang Dynasty Li Yi said more aptly, which believes that "guiding" is "guiding qi to make and lead the body to this soft" here "guiding qi", is to guide the idea of Breathing and exhaling, so that the internal gas and smooth, in order to facilitate health and longevity; "guide the body to make soft" and Lao Zi "specializing in gas to soft" health care ideas are the same lineage, Lao Zi in the "Tao Te Ching", said: "Therefore, the strong death of the disciples, the weak and the soft The meaning of this is that if you are in a state of tension for a long time and your muscles are stiff, your vitality will be blocked, which will easily lead to diseases and premature aging; on the contrary, if you relax your body and keep it in a soft state, your vitality will be active and your life force will be strong. Therefore, "guiding qi" and "leading the body" are the means of the guiding technique, and "making harmony" and "making softness" are the destination of the guiding technique. The "he" and "he" are the destination of the art of guiding.
