What is the best way to breathe when practicing Taijiquan?

The word "breathing" is not often seen in ancient boxing theories, and there is only one sentence in the Thirteen Positions and Works of the Heart Explanation: "If you can breathe, then you can be flexible". Nowadays, the most common saying is reverse abdominal breathing, that is, in inhalation, the abdomen inward, at this time for the lift, for the joint, for the virtual, for the storage, the other side will be held; exhale the abdomen outward, at this time for the release, for the open, for the real, for the hair, the other side with their own strength spit out will also be sent out. Moreover, it should be practiced repeatedly, and by feeding the hands of two people repeatedly and correcting each other, one can "understand the strength gradually by being familiar with it". Taiji Push Hands is practiced in this practice of the small abdomen closing and protruding. Others say that it is the smooth abdominal breathing, deep breathing, natural breathing, etc. But all these sayings are the same. But all of these statements, have not left: the natural breathing of people, that is, lung gas breathing.

Taijiquan breathing, not the general understanding, can do the kind of breathing, but the inner, with the idea of guiding the dantian breathing. Dantian breathing and nasal breathing coexist, but it is not affected by the oral and nasal breathing, and oral and nasal breathing is not directly related to the breathing of taijiquan is "open and close". Chen Xin said, "One opening and one closing, the art of boxing is complete", which hits the nail on the head. If you understand the breathing of Taijiquan, you will understand the opening and closing, and you will understand the power, and if you practice diligently after understanding the power, you will be able to make great progress in a day. When you connect with someone, your internal qi is in the dantian, and at this time you have the feeling of "qi converging on the human bone", and the other party has the feeling of being uprooted and not being able to use his strength (because he can't push our strength), and at this time you are combining, absorbing, storing, and taking. At this moment, one's internal energy is closed, absorbed, stored and held. When one's internal energy comes out of the dantian, one has the feeling that one's energy reaches the four tips of the body. The other party has felt the force, but it is too late.
