Taijiquan's nine layers of kung fu

Taijiquan, the national intangible cultural heritage, is a traditional Chinese Confucian and Taoist philosophy of taiji, yin and yang dialectical concepts as the core idea, set of nourishing the temperament, strengthening the body and physical fitness, technical confrontation, and other functions as a whole, combined with the yin and yang and the five elements of the changes in the science of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine meridian science, the ancient art of guiding and vomiting formed a kind of internal and external cultivation, gentle, slow, light, rigid and flexible Han Chinese traditional boxing. Boxing. Here is what I have organized for you: the nine layers of Taijiquan.

Nine layers of Taijiquan kung fu

Taijiquan light is very difficult to practice to the point of the legend, people are more doubtful: the fact that Taijiquan is not as good as the fight? Even practiced more than ninety years of Taiji Wu Tunan master said, ? Taijiquan push but not fight? If it is not as good as fighting, then why is it called "boxing"? Fist? In Yang Lu Chan, Hao for the real place of who years, and even in the period of Yan Zhigao, taijiquan are able to fight, then why today's taijiquan can only push but not hit people?

The old manual is hollow, not to practice to a certain level, it is not easy to understand. the second half of the twentieth century, in addition to Hao Shaoru, Yan Zhigao's boxing theory can be called a classic, only Le Dan and Zheng Manqing's writings can be done to practice the criteria. Recently, Wu Wenhan uncle and special article cited Zheng's work. Mr. Zheng Manqing said: "If you ask me what I have learned in the past forty years, I will tell you that I have learned a lot. If you ask Yu forty years of experience, but only twelve words, the day: swallowing the gas of the sky, grounding force, life to soft. Specific practice method, Zheng master's masterpiece have detailed discussion, worthy of intentionality to identify.

I would like to cite some scholars in the various cultivation strips in the manipulation of the approach, but also be considered to that "Taijiquan ten questions" increase it.

The first layer of light: the shape is right and the qi is smooth.

Some of the people who think they are not practicing much will say: what kind of time is this? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the best products and services in the world, and then you can get your hands on some of the best products and services in the world. Practicing ancient don't look down on others professional competitive martial arts, the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, the most colorful program is that several taijiquan champion performance of "flowing clouds and water". That should be the model of the correct form, the correct form is not only a kind of beauty, and if the form is not correct, the gas is not smooth. Champions one after another to vacate the two legs and turn to vacate the swing lotus, not only the lightness of the spirit of transcendence, there is a sense of stagnation, and after the landing of the gas does not grow out, the face does not change color, which one practiced the ancient have this time! Athletic activities do not practice internal strength, do not practice martial arts, not to mention the practice of push hands, a few years, more than ten years on the practice of a form of righteousness and smoothness, can be out of such a great time.

How may not be positive form, I think Wu Tunan master said:? The key to loose power, the first in lifting, lifting the higher, landing the faster. These words are the most important. The so-called? Lifting? is the same as? The "virtual collar and top strength" is the same as the "virtual collar and top strength". There is something in line with this. Taijiquan to practice the lightness of the light, it is necessary to loose, Wu masters have clouds:? Pine work such as high lifting beads, leisurely and broken, like a broken line pearl, particle landing, such as beads go disk, round and perverse, section through, fish through and on, Fang Xianzhen and not sluggish. Anyone who practices Taiji and can only play slow punches but not fast punches is not allowed to do so. They do not know the essentials of the "virtual collar" and the "top force", and they do not know how to use it. They don't know the key points of the "Void Leadership and Top Power", and they don't know the "Lifting and Lifting". They don't know how to lift and lift. After the taste of pine, but also in that place boasts a set of boxing can play more than an hour, how much time it!

So?

So? How to practice? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. The first thing you need to do is to get your head out of your ass and get out of the way. The first thing you need to do is to get your head out of a high blood pressure, and you'll be able to do it with your head. The head muscles should be absolutely loose when the virtual collar top strength, the Baihui point only loose, the ability to? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world. The so-called? The so-called "lift? The actual fact is that it is going to be the case that you're going to have to lift the? Bairao? Acupuncture point behind the back of the tendon, this tendon is connected to the entire spine of the links, such as this tendon can be lifted, the spine links will naturally become strung up beads. Previously practiced taijiquan or other internal martial arts people first let this tendon up, there is the use of? Elbow will fly gold crystal? or? Emei thirteen piles? The way, gossip palm pull grinding style is also the best way to wring tendons out of the groove.

Waist is the key hub of Taijiquan line work, said the forefathers: waist strength is appropriate to sink down. How to sink the law? The fate of the back slightly rise, the coccyx forward and down to find the feet of the springs, double hip to the heel slip. The waist strength sinks well, the ability to turn the body with Dantian. Some practitioners of martial arts style Tai Chi, more than the spine point bulging, outwardly related to the practice of convergence of gas into the bones of the light, it turns out otherwise. The waist and the top is the key to taijiquan form positive, form positive collar gas smooth.

The guideline of the gas smooth is to adjust the breath, that is, the master Qiu Shi Ji cloud:? Make breathing to the root of the inhalation from the outside to the inside, the exhale is also people inside. Breathing in natural, breathing out with the idea of descending to the dantian, there is a casting of the sword is down to the perineum.

?

The second layer of light: the dantian turned inside.

Many practitioners categorize this as the most sublime light, but it is not. In the authentic taiji school, this is the basic, martial arts style first to the five elements of the work to turn the dantian. Turning the dantian has two effects, one is to open the dantian live, so that it can be gas, this gas is a mixed gas, still acquired tangible things, but he is the cultivation of the capital of the capital of a gas, with the usual root of the practitioner may not be able to come in to the state of the capital of the virtual spirit at the outset, and therefore the first to practise the gas of the mixed gas is the basic must go through. The second is to cultivate the folklore of running the limbs with the dantian, the lower dantian is the center of the internal martial arts, some people say that the dantian is the second brain of the human being, and the tantric cultivation has proved that there are four fingers under the umbilicus with bright spots, which can empower the mind. Taijiquan martial arts is the highest point should be natural, and away from the shape of the dantian is less than nothing.

First of all, we should use the idea to help lead the gas, stand taiji piles, walk taiji steps, and then walk the frame, spit gas, meridian gas polymerization in the dantian, and gradually become the gas mound, the internal turn of the gas mound and rotating spine and the middle vein, within the movement and the formation of external manifestation of the fist frame, can be into the internal boxing method is carried forward.

The third level of light: loose bullet shake fried.

Want to agree on practicing taijiquan for martial arts, it is important to be able to send the power, push the hand of the light can only be used for the game, push the hand of the power is a long power. And can be used for taijiquan martial arts cold crisp shake fried, can only be agreed to shake the big pole and practice secret boxing frame to obtain. Over the decades, I have been looking for practical in the martial arts of the original transmission of taijiquan frame, to 2007, by Jiang Tiesen master introduced, only to get to know Huo Mengkui master's direct disciple Wu Benping master, learned Wu Yuxiang transmission Yang Banhou fifty-four small frame taijiquan. According to the old-timers, Chen Qingping and Yang Lu Chan had hurt people and the Wu family helped them to get rid of them with the help of the political power of the sea, so the Wu brothers got to know the boxing and practicing methods that could hurt people. And Chen Yang two families by boxing after the disaster, are able to restrain people without injuring the taijiquan method to show people, resulting in today's taijiquan practitioners mistakenly think that the fighter is push hands, push hands is taijiquan martial arts. Wu Tunan said? Taijiquan pushing but not hitting?

In ancient and modern times and foreign countries can be called boxing, there must be able to hurt the light of day, the power must be sent to kill. Shaolin and other sects of the killing power by the iron sand palm, iron fist work and iron finger work to obtain, while the internal boxing is agreed stakes, Fu lead and meditation and shake the big pole, cultivation of Yin Jin, shaking Jin, etc., to hit the outside and hurt the idea of the inside. Through several years of training, the arms in the state of muscle relaxation, the moment can be issued successively bouncing and shaking inch strength, mutual aid boxing frame training body and footwork, can be used for martial arts, shake the big pole of the specific practice can be seen in the clumsy work. The emergence of the blowing force depends on the abundance of the mixed energy, and then through the big pole light time has become and obtained. In actual combat martial arts, the other side of the fists and feet close to the body, the spiral force, the explosive force can replace the other side of the blow.

The fourth layer of light: stretched fast hit.

Usually drill Taiji people, more than one potential in the fixed, martial arts style door when the yin and yang, but also to be quiet on the quiet, the so-called ? The static is like a movement, and the movement is like a static? also! In ancient times, the fixed-position practice method was somewhat like instantaneous pile work, and a position had to be over three or five breaths before it was possible. Therefore, some people will be practicing Tai Chi more and more slowly, this is the practice, there is no excuse. But with the guidelines need to be practiced faster and faster, the internal gas drumming, not as much as a little break and pause, wu style small frame, Yang style small frame, Yang style long fist and Wu style fast fist are cloudy.

First of all, we have to train the light to the internal gas bulging, this gas is still not a gas, still tangible mixed gas, line in the meridians, internal organs, can help martial arts, and can resist the fight. Really can be internal qi bulging, walking frame will naturally practice faster and faster, and after each force, the internal qi such as silk like a soft bundle, can make the fist continue to not disperse, the intention of qi shape continuous and endless as the sound of the voice around the beam. On the choice of boxing frame is also very important, in the early years of my master in Hui Pu door to learn the Wu-style fast boxing, and then viewed in Beijing Yang-style small frame, its ability and footwork of the abundance, gave me a deep impression. In 2007, I learned the 54 small-frame quick fist from Li Qixuan with Wu Benping, and then I realized the secret of the original Taijiquan.

Wu Yuxiang's old frame, transmitted by Li Qixuan, seriously rotates the middle chakra and spine, so that the waist, legs, and arms form a "back silk clasp". back silk clasp? But it is particularly difficult to practice, without ten years of pure power, absolutely no flavor. Like Zhu Daitong master preach: no need to practice gas, no need to practice strength, no need to waist, not under the potential, with a? Loose? and one? empty?

The fifth layer of light: the middle yellow straight through.

Min Xiaogong, the master of the Tantric practice, and the creation of? I have practiced it and found that it is more practical than running the upper chakra. It is more practical for taijiquan dan dao cultivation than running the upper chakra of Ren Du. Many practitioners use the mixed yuan qi to guide their thoughts to the rendu, but this will lead to problems. Seemingly glowing, wide body fat, the original more suffering from thirst, hypertension, but in the yellow straight through and tantric to cultivate the middle chakra as a method of approach is still different, taijiquan's internal movement is the first four elephants rotating dantian, to the middle chakra and spine as the central axis of rotation to inspire the limbs, therefore, this kind of internal movement is very easy to buy the San Jiao, many people practice taijiquan for about a year on the amount of food, appetite hole, which is precisely the taijiquan may wish to fitness of the biggest! This is precisely the biggest characteristic of Taijiquan, and this characteristic is destined to be the most important feature of Taijiquan. The center of the yellow straight through? More than a small week day more suitable for taijiquan internal cultivation.

Recently, someone has written an article stating that the surface of taijiquan and the hidden secrets of taijiquan are not the same. Some people in the taijiquan walking frame of the body of the nine beads, by the rotation of the nine beads formed a taijiquan frame, the original and the seven chakras within the turn and inspired by the periphery of the fist is a principle. Taijiquan? The center yellow straight through? First to anger in the Yin stilt, which is fixed with the principle of the Tibetan secret fire training is the same, but the anger of taijiquan is not the seven branches of the sitting method, but the large Jiangxi school of taiji pile work. Yin stilts after moving anger can be gradual transformation of the belly of the qi qiu of the mixed yuan qi, so that it is transformed into Tianyi true water, the belly will be flat as a teenager, as if there is the effect of weight loss, while the internal organs and the energy is more face to face with washing hands before the melting. The Tianyi True Water is similar to the Tantric ? Bodhi Moon Liquid? similar, which is the foundation of the latter day to turn the talent, but also the basic of the convergence of gas into the bone.

I have written a number of taijiquan internal cultivation of articles, mostly some of my own according to the instructions of the elders in accordance with the ancient Dandao approach to cultivation of insights, follow the rules and profits, but the growth of taijiquan, but not less than not to learn from the long of the family. Shanghai has a lot of hidden cultivation of taijiquan, they learn from the early 20th century tantric monks transmitted by the big finger mold method of mind, taijiquan training to a very high point, we know only the Le family father and son, the original and then there are many. My protégé Li Shu in the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education in the five years of study on more views.

The nine layers of Taijiquan

The sixth layer of light: convergence of gas into the bone.

Master Hao Shaoru discusses in his great work "Wu Style Taijiquan"? The waist and spine convergence of qi? The two shoulders are loose, with the intention of sinking the gas to the back, from the shoulders to the spine, convergence in the waist and spine, called the waist and spine convergence gas. What is the waist and spine? Uncle Hao has a theory: What is waist and spine? Wu-style Taijiquan to individual spine spine as the main bow, large vertebrae and spine root up and down the two ends of the bow for the tip of the waist spine (life gate) for the bow handle. That is to say, the gate is the key to convergence. The Life Gate is indeed the root of life, the foundation of talent. The root of life, the capital of talent? But although the Gate of Life has the effect of strengthening the yang and benefiting the kidneys, it is regrettable that it is not able to converge the qi. The first test of those who can collect qi is? Bone Yang? The bone marrow is warm and hot. The secret method of collecting qi into the bone is the coccyx bone, which originates from the Nei Chi Xin method handed down by Master Chen Zhi Xu. There are originally nine orifices in the coccyx bone, which can absorb Tianyi true water.

This stage of the action, Jiang Tie Sen form based on the body empty as a water pipe, and soft as boneless, blood as water, and internal force as water pressure, can be changed with the fist frame, will be any injection of blood. My experience: spine from the bottom to the top, first warm and then hot, the reverse side of the skin will be a rash, red and itchy, perhaps for a long time. Heat to the finger bones, the upper limbs will sound when you move? Bone ringing? The foot will be very hot in the center of the foot, and may suffer from foot fungus in all seasons of the year. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular ones.

Le fantasy wisdom master's son Le Dan stayed eight taijiquan science articles, which talk about the opening and closing of the internal gas and the operation of the very specific, tangible and deliberate, and thought that the gas may be like? The wheel usually rotates in the center of the car. The first is that it is not a wheel, but it is a wheel. Then the basis has been the level of natural talent narrow acquired. I think this theory is not appropriate, the talent is invisible, may be like? The wheel usually rotates the person at most practiced to the level of the mixed yuan one qi, from the talent if far? The most important thing is that you can do it in your own way. The only mark of talent is the ability to collect qi into the bones. It is only the mark of the talent that you have entered. The first thing to do is to transform the Mixed Yuan Qi into the formless and invisible? The first step is to transform the mixed qi into the formless and unimaginable "Tianyi true water". Only then can the color of heavenly capital be immersed into the nine orifices of the coccyx. I will say a few more words about the mixed yuan qi, in 1989, I for my late teacher Wang Hui Pu teacher to shoot Wu-style taijiquan lecture period, one day at dusk, the teacher let me go to his apartment alone, the teacher invited Zhang Sanfeng's self-portrait and a taijiquan old recipe for me to grow a long view, and then talk about? Taiji Dan? The matter, the master let me touch his abdomen, there really is a ping-pong ball size of the device in motion, the master said: "This is the Tai Chi Dan," he said. This is Taiji Dan. Then he commented: "The deeper the time, the smaller the ball. The deeper the time, the smaller the ball, Wang Maozai's Taiji Dan is only as big as a soybean grain, while Mr. Yang Yuting's is as big as a peanut meter. I think that Wang's Taiji Dan is also a tangible thing, is born of the latter day mixed yuan gas, and can be refined to the smaller is closer to the talent carry on!

The fist frame line to the convergence of gas into the bone stage, the bones of the body should be stretched, the fist posture stretching loose, pay attention to the movement of the quiet, such as the body and mind, such as one, such as in the former idea of no perishable, after the idea of the time of the work of the frame, the latter day to turn the natural capital into a carry on!

The seventh layer of light: a consciousness alone.

Practice to? The center of the yellow straight through? The first is to make the most of the time, and the second is to make the most of the time. The most important thing to remember is that you have to be able to get the best out of your life. The first is that the energy is focused and the back of the body is as dry and smooth as bacon, while the other is that the gas is strong and the forehead is as fat as a millet millet. This is because the blood is flowing in accordance with nature, and there is sufficient energy inside and peace outside, so there is no need to commit a crime. The blood is in full bloom, and the blood is in good health. After the qi has been restrained and the bones have been filled with qi, the person will lose weight and become thinner. The increased flow of hematopoietic stem cells may activate the weakened nervous system in the body. According to the teachings of the Wheel of Time Tantra, there are 72,000 qi chakras in a human being, but from the fifth month after birth, two chakras per day will be necrotic. Chakra? After 100 years, all 72,000 chakras will be necrotic. This state of affairs may be reversed after collecting qi into the bones. If you can activate the chakras around your body, it will naturally occur. One Sense of Unique Spirit? The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley.

When the light is practiced to the level of a single consciousness, it will be extremely light. The body's? Boxing body sweat, attract mosquitoes, every mosquito fall, dip body can know, always will be a body shake, the station accompanied by the brethren to see my boxing look are feeling ridiculous. Standing pile, heart like water, hair on the top of the mosquito can also know. That year off to Beijing, visited a few seniors, talked about these epiphanies, a senior said: this is a sleep alone spirit of the light.

Taijiquan? A realization of the unique spirit? The time has come to the cultivation of the heart of the article, I began to know the flavor of Zen in 1992, taijiquan is very helpful. If it is not a day by day meditation half time, a consciousness alone spirit of the time will not be early on the body. At this time to see the news of the separate heart suddenly reduced, may truly realize? The movement in the stillness, the stillness in the movement? A punch can be played for a long time and forget the passage of time, easy to enter the stakes static, fixed in the natural capital air is also very fast. In the flesh gradually thin down, there will be bone and blood separation, muscle as if hanging on the endoskeleton, very loose! In the line of punch walking frame, the muscles seem to have been unable to play a role.

Eighth layer of light: should things natural.

The real loose, is the body and mind all put down, not with the intention of loose to. At that time, every cell in the flesh can make its own master, the local is the whole, the whole can also be transformed into the local. Martial arts style door within the serious hitter, hitching a hand that hit, the real masses, take over and do not melt, to the flesh of the natural sense of touch, convert the angle of the future strength to hit, this kind of time with the cerebellum to think, to discern has been futile, to rely on the touch of the skin in the moment and the nerve of the sense of touch and response. Related to the internal boxing seniors in the state of not seeing, do not know, do not realize that the sneak attacker hit out of the legend, is not all false, I also have had the experience. Some people commented that the natural light of the Yingtu is to be able to be struck in the physical body at the moment, the body's true qi condensed in the struck packing, so as to generate a huge generating force. This argument is certainly a bit far-fetched, but it seems to be worthwhile to make sense.

It turns out that the light of the natural light, the perfect is the end of the repair of the heart. In the case of the only cognitive science, if, as Descartes said, ? I think therefore I am in? The system is similar to that of tai chi and dan dao and zen, the practice of mindfulness is to separate the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body from the first five senses and the sixth sense, and then the sixth sense and the seventh sense of the last sense of the peeling, and finally present the arya consciousness, then the achievement of a great success. For a long time in the state of sometimes knowledge of the fist walk frame, stakes and meditation, the person's first five senses will be forced by the grant, transformed into an autonomous awareness will, at the same time, can respond to the objective things. Up to this point, the practitioner's overall awareness will? Dependent on the basic knowledge, the five senses rise with the cause, or all or none, such as waves depending on the water? Certainly from the original face of the idea of stripping the present is still far away, but has come to the point of natural things. Walking fist walk frame, dantian area of the four elephants have no longer drive action, the body also began to virtualization, only the navel point in the combination of self-turning and the formation of boxing.

The ninth level of light: the void is born.

This should be the highest point of tangible training, no form, no image, sometimes no desire, without a trace of artifice, boxing is not out of the hands and feet and physical body, but as if it is a spring from the heart, the heart is the Arya consciousness. Since the introduction of photography, all the famous boxing photos are not as good as the verification of such a step, only Zheng Manqing's? White Crane Bright Wings? May not be close to this line of reasoning. This step is not loose and loose, not empty and empty realm, the body and mind has been rounded, the message as one, the same as the surface. The body and mind are permeable, the surface and the inside are unobstructed, as if it were a shadow in boxing, the practitioner does not know that I am practicing boxing, still boxing in practicing me, gradually do not know boxing, do not know me.

There are several topics and then take this to talk about a few insights. Nowadays more and more people practicing taijiquan, in the last century 80 years I practiced in the small river and Lu Xun Children's Park, not only squirrels to put the go, and then at night there are owls at night, and now there is nothing, only people left. So many people practicing taijiquan, most of them are for fitness, taijiquan does have the effect of supporting the positive and dispelling the evil. But the true light of taijiquan is never practiced by people in their forties and fifties, and the old forefathers used to say: learn more at twenty, practice more at thirty or forty, and raise more at fifty or sixty. Age has reached forty or fifty years old before remembering to learn taijiquan, have a little understanding, write a book, and even deny the ancient surface and ancient practice, seems to be a bit of mantis blocking the car! Besides, these surfaces usually replace the whole process of cultivation with the stage experience, which has almost become the characteristic of the surface of taijiquan in this world.

First, what is the original point of movement of taijiquan, some people say that it is the force of the body used in the ankle bracelet, then the original point of movement of the body and where it is? Some people take the kidney ball on both sides of the life gate as the original moving point, which should be derived from Wang Peisheng's? The six ball work? Surface, regrettable double kidney ball is located in the center line behind, insist on this, line fist walk frame must be leaning forward, so people can not help but say:? Low head and cat waist to learn the art is not high. It turns out that the dantian is a whole taiji ball, containing water four images of yin and yang, wu style door identify wang zongyue boxing on the surface of the dan dao, and the creation of the four images of the internal rotation and external transportation of the five elements of the internal work of the mind, through more than 100 years of practice, the verification is: can be used as a total **** internal light cultivation of the trick.

The second is the delusion? Song? and? empty? The pine is the Taiji internal training to a certain degree of fire and the appearance of the internal regimen, not intentionally sought. At the beginning of the practice of boxing is not tight for loose, this is the teacher Hui Pu's teachings, after the completion of the internal work, there is a place around the body is not as loose as the power, only to know the taste of pine. To intentionally seek pine, is not a real pine, do not know the principle of tangible intention are false! The empty? Even more nonsense, reach out and touch someone to touch an empty, but only people have the body of the chemical strength, stained on the go, is not his flesh really practiced empty. Really can be practiced empty body light is not taijiquan, there are large fingerprints of the net illusion of the body and the Great Perfection of the rainbow body know-how, endocannabinoid cultivation to the extreme can also reach this point, that is really change the shape of the qualities of the? Empty? It's a real change of form and quality.

The third is to exaggerate the efficacy of the push hands, push hands is nothing more than a game, this game to elevate the skin's sense of hearing and center of gravity of the solidity of the benefit, but the response to the real fight of the fight can not help. Don't believe in those who practiced boxing and sparring children try, don't think you're too old people dare not hit you, don't forget the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Really can practice the light of taijiquan to? Void biochemistry? The point that there will be? three easy? The image of the face like jade, crane white, or can be practiced to the green hair, and even fell teeth reborn. Like Zheng Manqing's boxing photo there is a kind of by and by, the body is not easy to clothe the feeling, that is the real pine, a kind of surface and inside the unhindered integration, a kind of indistinct and indistinct ground.
