Thanks for the cultivation of calligraphy and martial arts. Thank you for your help.

Calligraphy and martial arts are treasures of China traditional culture. In a martial arts TV series, a martial arts elder integrated a set of extensive and profound boxing techniques into calligraphy and carved it into a cave. Another martial arts master realized calligraphy here and gained this boxing technique, which greatly increased his skill. Although this is an artistic exaggeration, if you are proficient in calligraphy and martial arts, you can find that they do have something in common. Moreover, people in calligraphy and painting are good at martial arts, and martial artists are good at calligraphy. As the saying goes, "Boxing and calligraphy are interlinked." Similarity here means that there are similarities between theory and law, and they can learn from each other. Let's try to analyze their connection. Learn to write first and then learn calligraphy. Writing is awkward and requires effort. Correct writing posture requires straight head, open arms, relaxed elbows, solid fingers, weak palms, and hands, wrists and arms to drive the whole body. Among them, hanging wrists and cantilevers, ordinary people feel very uncomfortable if they insist on standard writing for a few minutes, and it is difficult to succeed without perseverance. To learn martial arts skills, we must first understand the fighting situation. The so-called "grasp the situation, grasp the situation, and look at the posture." He also said that "experts will know if there is one when they reach out." The posture looks simple, but the really correct posture is simple and profound. Therefore, from a person's posture, movements, that is, to know the level of martial arts. This is the same as judging a writer's skill and seeing if he can publish a book by hanging his wrist or cantilever. It takes hundreds of times to practice the simple strokes of calligraphy. Only by mastering the running rules of the brush can we write standardized and rigorous words. To practice martial arts, we must first master the correct essentials of punching and kicking, and the movements meet the requirements of martial arts. Then it can rise to the level of ever-changing arbitrary application in actual combat. Learn a stroke and a painting, you can't be impetuous, you can't be perfunctory, and you can't rush for success. Learning boxing is light in weight, unwilling to refine and use one punch and one foot, and pursuing mysterious, mysterious or flashy things will inevitably suffer in actual self-defense. It can be seen that learning a stroke and a painting is the same as learning a punch and a foot. Calligraphy pays attention to righteousness, one word requires a pen to break the meaning, one line requires the size to fluctuate like water, and the calligrapher sometimes rushes and sometimes twists and turns. If you watch a calligrapher write a cursive script on the spot, you can feel the calligrapher's strong sense of rhythm, just like playing a tune. And all the way to boxing, sometimes quiet as Mount Tai, sometimes moving like a rabbit, combining rigidity with softness, alternating speed. A word is like a fist, and the fist is not the local action of the arm, but the result of the whole body, which is like the technical requirements of writing a word. A line of words is like adding fists and feet. In a group of martial arts movements, there are changes in priorities, just like a line of words with scattered thickness and size. A book is like a complete set of boxing. A book should respond from beginning to end, and a set of boxing should take care of both before and after, which is the similarity between the two. In reality, Li Junjiu, a Korean Taekwondo master, once combined Beethoven's heroic symphony with Taekwondo routine drills, with the purpose of making Taekwondo performances more rhythmic and effective with the sense of rhythm in music. In the primary stage, Wushu is "dominant", which is vigorous, fast, sensitive and skilled, with the aim of improving the ability of attack and defense. In the later period, it pays attention to the qigong exercise of dredging qi and blood, refining spirit, regulating temperament, strengthening bones and muscles and strengthening strength. With the passage of time and the development and evolution of Wushu, Qigong has gradually infiltrated and melted into Wushu, becoming an important auxiliary movement of "internal strength". The book "The Secret of Shaolin Boxing" says: "Qigong has two theories, one is to nourish qi and the other is to refine qi. The role of Jiu Jitsu is mostly to use enemy tactics, so it is particularly urgent to replenish qi. " This shows that "nourishing qi" in Qigong means defeating the enemy, and Qigong exercise can not be ignored in Wushu. That sentence "I don't know how to breathe, I don't know how to use essence, but I soften the truth and deficiency when I am not fresh, which is wonderful." I am used to punching and half-legged with the power of arm blood, and pretend to be an expert in Chinese medicine. " This shows that qigong exercise is of direct significance to improve the level of Wushu. Otherwise, even if you practice "skin as thick as an iron shell", you will lose your life because you use your strength to self-harm. The book "Secrets" also said: "The practice of external skills lies in the body and bones, while the practice of internal skills, which is transformed from the spirit of life, is the last skill in the rivers and lakes. If you combine them, it will be the ultimate in magic! " It can be seen that the combination of Qigong and Wushu is really necessary for Wushu training. As can be seen from the above, both book practice and martial arts practice pay attention to the close combination of qigong and skills, and both pursue internal and external integrated exercise methods to achieve the realm of unity of heart, qi and strength. Therefore, a martial artist or calligrapher can reach the highest level of art if he can integrate Qigong into his own skills. Writing is not just the power of five fingers, but the result of whole body coordination. Calligraphers of past dynasties also advocated "five fingers tube instead of main pen", and used waist, shoulder, elbow or wrist to carry out pen lifting according to font size. Generally speaking, small letters use wrist force, middle letters use elbow force, big letters use shoulder force, and the "list book" of several feet or more starts with waist force. Calligraphy luck should also pay attention to the relaxation of limbs, not the opposite, tension and exertion, otherwise the strength will get stuck between shoulders or elbows, and the pen will be stiff and ineffective. In martial arts, one punch and one foot do not rely on the local strength of arms and legs. If the body is stiff and tight, the transmission of power is blocked, just like the interruption of the circuit or the obstruction of the water flow, the overall explosive force of the whole body cannot be sent to the fist. Wu Yuxiang (A.D. 18 12- 1880), a scholar of Atai nationality in the Qing Dynasty, said that "the power of boxing is rooted in the foot, from the leg, mainly in the waist and shaped in the finger". One sentence explains the essentials of the overall strength of the whole body. It can be seen that whether writing or practicing boxing, we pay attention to overall cooperation and integration of inside and outside, so this is a kind of high-quality martial arts and book practice. Many people who study books and practice martial arts have achieved a long life, which is determined by the * * * characteristics of martial arts and martial arts. A person living in society, in order to survive, is busy all day, and his brain and nerves are overwhelmed. Over time, people's spirit is damaged, and even many diseases abound. Huangdi Neijing said: "Those who gain the spirit will prosper, and those who fail will die." It can be seen that "God" is important to people! What is "God"? Man-God, that is, man's mind, man's heart and man's spirit, is related to man's central nervous system function and heart function from the perspective of modern medicine. Traditional medicine in China attaches great importance to "God", which is not only the foundation of health, but also the foundation of life. Therefore, only by practicing the spirit and getting the right method can people live longer. People's emotional activities are closely related to health, and traditional medicine believes that seven emotions are an important factor of disease. The ancients thought that "the heart will shake the five internal organs", so there is a saying that "indifferent and empty, the true qi will follow, the god will hide inside, and the disease will be safe." At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong said in On Pen: "Uncle Fu, sit quietly and meditate first, be at ease, be silent, be angry but not angry, and be mysterious. If you are supreme, there is nothing wrong. " The writer is required to sweep away all troubles, eliminate distractions, be calm, concentrate on the pen, and integrate all body and mind with writing, so as to write a book with both form and spirit. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, you also need to relax and concentrate on your body. People's thoughts and spirit are closely coordinated with their appearance and movements, and practicing boxing is like practicing, so there is a saying that boxing and Zen are one. The technical requirements in practicing books and boxing make all the troubles in the world of mortals have nothing to worry about, thus achieving the effect of cultivating "God". Practicing books and Tai Ji Chuan requires relaxation and perseverance, but not rigidity. As a result of "relaxation" of mental consciousness, breathing will be soft and rhythmic, and internal organs will be relaxed accordingly. At this time, the movement of diaphragm will not be inhibited, and it can also massage internal organs more effectively, promote blood and lymphatic circulation, and strengthen metabolism. In this state, the blood supply to the brain is sufficient, the microcirculation of the whole body is improved, the vascular permeability is enhanced, and the white blood cells are increased by more than 13 ~ 23%, so that the human immune function is greatly improved. As the highest command system of the human body, the brain will enter a special state of Qigong function. The EEG of modern people also proves that the alpha wave in the brain is very beneficial to health when people are in a highly quiet state of Qigong. Long-term practice of calligraphy and martial arts will make people's character peaceful and indifferent, optimistic and open-minded. As the saying goes, "When you smile at the age of ten, your head turns white when you worry." When people are happy, the command function of the central nervous system is enhanced, and digestion, absorption, secretion and excretion are normal. According to a survey of 372 centenarians in Sichuan, 98% of the birthday girls have a cheerful and optimistic personality. Doctors also have the experience that the wounds of winners heal faster than those of losers. Writing books and practicing martial arts is a wonderful way to nourish the heart, giving people an invisible secret of health care. /s/blog _ 5972 d88a 0 100 am9f . html
