Principles of Zhao Bao He Style Taijiquan

He-style Taijiquan is also known as the Agent Frame. The so-called agent frame has two meanings.

(1) The organic combination of human body techniques and theories.

(2) To practice and nourish the vital energy in the body with natural and flexible body movements. That is to say, there is the surface and the inside, thus achieving the purpose of practicing inside. He Zhaoyuan said in "Essentials of Taijiquan": "The combination of reason and skill is the true essence of Taiji. Practitioners must not fail to think about it in detail. If reason can be abided by, it will be a long time coming." Taijiquan is one of the most theoretically rich traditional martial arts. It is also difficult for many practitioners to master because they are at a loss. The reason for this is the lack of systematic theory and the disconnect between theory and technique. To give an example: in the "Taijiquan Interpretation of Names" said: "Taijiquan, a long fist, also known as the thirteen potential. ...... thirteen potentials, sub-pun, stroke, squeeze, press, pick, column, elbow, *, in, out, Gu, hope, set also." Think taijiquan is thirteen potential. Obviously, the essence of the thirteen potential, is the traditional martial arts in the attack and defense techniques. However, the thirteen potential for further interpretation of the "thirteen potential song" and "thirteen potential for the work of the heart to understand" two boxing theory has never mentioned the "Taijiquan Interpretation of the name" in the peng, stroking, squeezing, according to the pick, columns, elbow, *, into the, back, Gu, hope, fixed this thirteen potential.

Traditional martial arts **** nature of fast and slow, rigid and flexible, virtual and real, static and static, still clever. Some people write that the winding silk essence is an important symbol unique to taijiquan, but this kind of statement first appeared in Chen Xin's book "Chen-style taijiquan diagrams", however, later people are considered to be winding silk strength. So, is it that Chen Xin did not correctly express the "winding silk" this kind of strength, or is it that the later generations have misunderstood the essence of the winding silk in the boxing method mentioned by Chen Xin. If it is the essence of boxing, what is this essence? Or maybe it is the disconnect between theory and technique.

The word "taiji" comes from the Book of Changes. Taijiquan is a method of practicing boxing using the Taiji yin and yang doctrine of the Book of Zhou Yi to guide the practice of boxing. Through the practice of taijiquan. It is a technique to achieve the natural rotation of the body and the mutual change of yin and yang in all parts of the body. Taijitu is a visualization of the philosophical thought of "Zhouyi". Taijiquan shows a roundness outside, and contains yin and yang inside, reflecting the operation and transformation between yin and yang in all things. Harmonious Taijiquan uses the theory of "Zhouyi" in its movements. Like its shape (circle), take its meaning (yin and yang, five elements, eight trigrams), with its theory (yin and yang change, five elements, the unity of man and heaven). Zhouyi-Series of Rhetoric" said: "Yi Taiji, is born two meters, two meters, four elephants, four elephants, eight trigrams". The two yi refers to yin and yang, using yin lines and yang lines to refer to them. Yin lines and yang lines form the eight basic figures, that is, gossip. The different combinations of the eight trigrams nearly produced 64 hexagrams. These trigrams in turn produce countless variations. Nearly take all the body, and the body with the body: the human body is divided into two left and right coercion, and then there are two shoulders, two crotch four major sections, two elbows, two knees, two hands, two feet eight small sections. With the action: that is, a circle that is Taiji, up and down the two instruments, in and out of the four images, open and close is Qiankun, in and out of the synthesis of Kanli, lead down the wrong Zhenxun, welcome to push the Burgundy and Thunderbolt. The circle is the self-image of Taiji, and the movement is based on walking round, with different combinations of up and down, advance and retreat, opening and closing, entering and exiting, leading and falling, welcoming and resisting of corresponding parts of the body, etc., which have the relationship between yin and yang, and form the characteristics of Taijiquan's movement of moving and coordinating the whole body, and the movement of consistent and rounded rotation. The split and combined strengths generated during the change of yin and yang form the ever-changing methods of Taijiquan. Round, up and down, in and out for the five elements, open and close, in and out, lead down, welcome to the eight trigrams. Combined as thirteen, so and style taijiquan is also known as thirteen style. Taijiquan is the expression of life wisdom and philosophical thinking with physical techniques. Taijiquan theory of yin and yang in Taijiquan can not be separated from the human body and boxing skills. Otherwise, even if one becomes a master of Yijing or a great man of science, he may not necessarily become a master of Taijiquan. Therefore, the organic combination of theory and technique is the perfect Taijiquan.
