What are the health benefits of traditional Chinese health sports? And what are the requirements for each part of the body when practicing Taijiquan?

Taijiquan is a unique fitness exercise developed on the basis of the traditional health care methods of "Guiding Art" and "Tuna Art". It advocates "guiding the qi with the intention to move the body with the qi", and has the exercise method of qigong to adjust the heart. As a result, Taijiquan has formed an internal boxing movement in which consciousness, breathing and movement are closely combined and "practicing intention, practicing qi and practicing the body" are unified inside and outside, and "the intention is moved at the beginning, followed by internal movement and then external movement"; it also forms the unique boxing method in which rigidity and softness are in harmony with each other, speed and slowness are in order, and the accumulation of hair and changes are in harmony, with internal strength as the dominant force. The unique style of boxing is based on the principle of "internal strength".

Taijiquan, as a sport, has the function of health care, the mystery of which lies in the physical activity of "a movement without motion", which can give the tissues and organs a certain intensity and amount of stimulation, stimulate and promote the body to undergo a series of adaptive changes in the physiology, biochemistry and morphology, so as to transform and develop in the direction of strengthening the physique. Transformation and development of physical fitness in the direction of enhancement. For the middle-aged and elderly people and patients with chronic diseases, it can delay the degenerative changes in the structure and function of the body's tissues and organs, and can effectively play a fitness, healing, and slowing down the role of aging.

Motherland medicine believes that man is an organic whole, which is connected with the upper and lower meridians, communicating inside and outside, and belongs to the internal organs, and is connected to the limbs and joints outside. Taijiquan's unique way of practicing can be conducive to energizing the meridians. First of all, we know that sudden, strong and long-lasting stimulation of the seven emotions will make the body's qi turbulence and internal organs and yin and yang and qi and blood imbalance, while taijiquan emphasizes the relaxation of the whole body and mind, which can weaken, transfer and overcome the seven emotional stimulation of internal injuries and illnesses and is conducive to the dredging of meridians and collaterals. Secondly, taijiquan whole-body light, slow, loose and soft proper movement will make the body warm, which can increase the speed and strength of meridian conduction, which is conducive to the operation of pulse and gas throughout the whole body, inside and outside the circulation of endless meridian system, which helps the meridians to be unimpeded and permeable, so that the qi and blood are full of infusing the whole body, moistening the viscera, tissues and organs and Ying Yin and Yang, maintaining and protecting the function of the body, and increasing the ability of resisting diseases and evils and repairing oneself. Third, taijiquan movement, waist rotation, limb flexion and extension of the winding movement will be composed of more than 300 acupuncture points on the body to produce different pulling, wringing and squeezing and pressing and moistening effect. This is actually a kind of self-massage, can play a role similar to acupuncture, active meridians, stimulate the meridian gas, dredge the meridians and adjust the real and strengthen the maintenance and contact with the physiological function of various tissues and organs, so that they are in a coordinated and orderly state.

Taijiquan is very concerned about the unity of heaven and man and the unity of form and spirit, and the combination of motion and static of taijiquan, seeking for static in the motion, and moving with static and static in spite of the motion, make taijiquan more in line with the fitness principle of moderate movement; at the same time, taijiquan's unique static intention makes the heart more easy to enter into the static, and it can effectively block the interference and chaotic influence of the seven emotions on the qi and blood that is excessively hyperactive and blazing and defend the "original spirit" and "the spirit" and "the spirit". The "spirit" normally plays its function of regulating the body's physical and mental health.

Taijiquan is a science with a long history and profound content, containing rich and unique practice methods. Taijiquan not only inherits the ancient Chinese traditional way of health care, but also develops on the basis of modern science, so that it has gained greater health care efficacy in fitness, disease treatment and anti-aging, and has special efficacy that is not as good as drugs. This special effect is not reachable, must be done in the practice of the following aspects:

First of all, we must achieve the standardization of movement, that is, the body posture in line with a certain movement standard, which is also the various styles, regardless of how the action of a thousand variations, the *** with the same follow the requirements of the action. Only the standardization of body posture and movement is conducive to the "intention to move with"; conducive to the limbs to put a long, more flexible performance of upright, loose, rounded and light, etc., is conducive to the "stillness of the movement", "movement in the pursuit of stillness "and" the spirit of internal guardianship "so that the practice of boxing only have the intention to move and do not feel the shape of the virtual realm of the spirit of movement, so that the exercise into a higher level, to do from the inside to the outside, and can be converged on the inside from the outside, the work of the wonderful internal and external cultivation, to achieve the unity of the mind and body. In order to achieve standardized movements, the first thing to do is to achieve the body's natural and relaxation, at the same time, the spirit should also be relaxed, "God sparse" can be "body quiet".

Taijiquan adopts abdominal breathing method, which requires deep, even, fine, slow and long, but beginners should not deliberately pursue these, as long as the natural breathing is smooth. Abdominal smooth breathing is also the way to reach the abdominal reverse breathing, abdominal reverse breathing will increase the somatic nervous system on the respiratory regulation, so that the autonomic nervous system to regulate the internal organs function to produce a more favorable impact. However, first-time practitioners should not blindly adopt this breathing method, otherwise it will not only lose sight of the other side of the impact of exercise practice or even the phenomenon of breath-holding and other phenomena. In fact, as long as the movement is skillful, the more the abdominal breathing is harmonized, the more the abdominal reverse breathing is just a matter of maturity. The philosophy of Taijiquan is based on nature and cannot be violated. Therefore, the first-time practitioners must follow the principle of breathing smoothly, and must not be in a hurry to achieve success. The good health care effect of Taijiquan can be realized only after long-term exercise. First of all, like other sports, the effect of Taijiquan is a cumulative process, which has the law that the body retreats if it is not practiced. In addition, the recovery of the body and the improvement of the physique is a slow process, as the saying goes, "getting sick is like falling down from a mountain, and getting rid of sickness is like pulling out silk", and this is the truth. Taijiquan has the role of fitness and healing, but does not have the effect of "instant effect".

Secondly, the health care effect of taijiquan is the result of the comprehensive exercise of "practicing body, practicing qi and practicing intention", and it is a long-term process to master the true meaning of taijiquan, "practicing three nines in winter and three volts in summer", which embodies the uninterruptible nature of practicing. Thirdly, practice has proved that Taijiquan is a long-term process. Thirdly, it has been proved in practice that the acquisition of health care effect of Taijiquan is valued in persistent practice. Every person who aspires to practice taijiquan for health care should realize the truth of perseverance.

The so-called "work will be accomplished" is a process of overcoming oneself, as well as a process of generating interest in the habit of playing taijiquan. With this transformation, a sense of physical and mental health, a sense of joy, a sense of happiness will arise, the work and quality of life will be improved, the joy of life will be greater enjoyment of the fitness of taijiquan, healing and anti-aging three major effects of taijiquan will have a more profound understanding and feeling. In turn, it will strengthen the confidence and interest in practicing taijiquan, and ultimately make taijiquan become the practitioner's mentor and friend on the way to health
