Traditional Wushu-What's the difference between Wushu and Yi Dao?

Wushu has been divided into martial arts and Taoism since ancient times. The Book of Boxing says: Those who are tempted by spiritual roots are also enemies, and those who cultivate spiritual roots in meditation are also Tao. Martial arts practitioners pay attention to posture and pursue strength; People who practice Taoism pay attention to nourishing and protecting their spirits, and oppose their will with their will. The differences between the two are as follows:

1. Martial arts practitioners use double postures, with both feet exerting force, with the body center of gravity between their legs and the whole body exerting force. With the meaning of the day after tomorrow, they inhale and exhale, accumulating gas in their abdomen. If they practice for a long time, their bodies will be as solid as stones and as stable as Mount Tai.

If you fight with others, you will rise like a shoulder and fall like a hook; Bundle up, fall for a long time, rise like an arrow, fall like the wind, and chase the wind and the moon without relaxation. The boxing classics say: seven strikes, three scattered strikes, four ends of the five battalions should be combined, the spirit should be used at any time, and the hard battle should be unimpeded. This is the source of turbidity, the spirit and the enemy's martial arts. If you reach the peak, you can also overcome the attack and stand out in the world.

2. Taoist practitioners adopt a single posture, one foot is hard, the front is empty and the back is solid, the body center of gravity is on the hind foot, the front foot can be empty and solid, and the heart is not hard. First, the heart should be empty, so that the heart can be in harmony with Dan Dao, and the heart can advance and retreat freely without any obstacles. Advance is like a crossbow, and hair is straight; Retreat is like a homing bird, floating back, brave and quick, without hesitation. And when practicing, you have no distractions, and your posture is ever-changing, so you can get it without thinking. "Boxing Classic" says: There is no boxing in boxing, which means unintentional, and unintentional is true; The heart is unintentional, and the heart has no distractions; No body, no body. Buddha said: empty and not empty, not empty and empty, is a vacuum. This is the only law of monasticism.

Static is the foundation of motion; Empty people are the foundation of reality. If the heart is empty, the spirit is not ignorant, and the wisdom is great. If someone attacks, I have no intention of guarding against it. However, my thoughts responded to his wishes, and my body naturally had the ability to resist. "Boxing Classics" says: Static is noumenon, while moving is useful. That's what it means.
