Taijiquan Experience" about 800 words (hint, you can write about the history of taijiquan, moves, benefits, etc.)

My father, the famous taijiquan master Mr. Chen Zhenglei, summarized the prerequisites for practicing Chen's taijiquan in his writings as "five hearts", "three elements" and "one understanding". ". The five hearts are respect, determination, perseverance, patience and confidence; the three elements refer to the teacher, natural ability and one's own hard practice: one understanding naturally refers to the understanding of Chen's Taijiquan. For the first two items. Very good understanding, and in its writings also have some relevant explanations and instructions. Only this understanding of the problem, probably because the problem is too big. It is not appropriate to expand. Chen Da

Division of a brush stroke. I followed my father to practice boxing for many years, and because of the environment, the ear and eye, quite inculcated. Recently have the time to recognize the problem will be many years of feeling and understanding of the organization into a poor article. With fellow **** business.

The understanding of any matter can not leave the comprehensive and objective two basic principles, therefore, I want to talk about the following four levels.

One, boxing

First of all, we objectively say. Only from the name. Chen's taijiquan is a kind of boxing. It has a complete theoretical foundation, routines, techniques, offensive and defensive awareness, technical usage as a boxing all the necessary factors. Moreover, it has become one of the most important representative martial arts of the whole Chinese martial arts with its extremely rich theoretical basis and marvelous techniques. To say that its theory is profound, is the perfect combination of yijing yin and yang, Chinese medicine meridian science and guiding spitting technique: to say that its usage is exquisite, is the wisdom of the guideline "to lead the strength to fall through the air, borrowing power to hit people", "pulling the four pairs of pushes a thousand jin" embodiment.

In essence. First of all, it will be characterized as an excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation can be reflected in the boxing movement. Should still be relatively

objective.

Second, the method of cultivation

The ancients said: to cultivate the body and the family to rule the country and the world. Throughout history. Xiwen dance sword is no more than two different methods of cultivating the body. Only from the form. The former is internal cultivation, the latter is external cultivation. Taijiquan emphasizes both internal and external cultivation. Both can be practiced on the strong body, but also cultivate sentiment. Nurture the style of elegance and generosity. Taijiquan's effect of strengthening the body. There is no need to talk about it, because, each practitioner is a different degree of beneficiaries. More than a billion enthusiasts around the world is naturally each have their own experience. When you enter into a higher realm (at least the body really has an internal activity), every time you practice boxing. That kind of tranquility, that kind of leisure and ease, that kind of oblivion feeling is probably only Zhuge Liang's "calm to brighten the mind. Tranquility to the distance" or Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the East Fence. Easy to see the South Mountain" such a sentence can be slightly described. Imagine. Often in this feeling of people should be what kind of cultivation and temperament? And then ask. Presented in your mind, novels read

and life has met the real masters of martial arts is what kind of image and cultivation?

So. It is only natural to say that Chen's Taijiquan is a method of cultivation.

Three, the art of balance

Balance. Is a phenomenon of nature everywhere, all the time. For example, the change of seasons. The transformation of sunny and rainy days, the existence of mountains and deep sea, the distribution of male and female, male and female, male and female, and so on. Balance, too, is a law of human social form. The opening words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms say it well: the world's momentum. The division of time will be united, united for a long time will be divided. There is a balance of points, and there is a balance of cooperation. Once the balance is lost. Will be converted to the balance of the joint. And vice versa. Balance, or everyone for a fundamental rule of conduct. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing. There are very few things that can be achieved without work. Do not give anything to get a lot. That is a daydream. Give a lot without any return. That is also unlikely.

On the word "balance" half a day. It's time to get back to business. Let's see how Chen's taijiquan elaborates on the art of balance. Bodywork, it requires the body in the right, impartial; frame, it requires not to throw not top, but not dawning; footwork, it requires open and closed, there are virtual and real; strength on the road, it is concerned about just and soft: speed, it is concerned about fast and slow. As a whole, it allows you to understand the middle way, to experience the theory of yin and yang conversion. And these theories and practice requirements. What is the effect? In the body's conditioning, it and the Chinese medicine theory: to achieve the most appropriate balance of their own; similar course of treatment: pay attention to the slow l Dingm fine work; the same effect: the root of the cure, cure. In terms of temperament regulation, it is like any other art. It can cultivate the sentiment and correct the temperament. Let your anxious become a little more calm, too dull become a little more cheerful: too optimistic become a little more neutral. Pessimistic become a little more positive ...... These are not exaggerations, far-fetched saying. Each of the above transformations I have seen living examples in my life. And these changes, gradually penetrate into every corner of your life; your mind, your relationships． Your work and so on and so forth. But the ultimate role and effect is only one: to make your cultivation higher, better people, live a happier life!

This shows that... Chen's taijiquan called a balanced art is not too much.

Four, Tao

Dao can be Tao, very Tao. Road in the end is a what things. I'm afraid no one can understand. But it is a human being **** with the pursuit of things. And it is the whole life, regard it as the ultimate goal to pursue.

The way is too abstract, difficult to describe things. But we can through some concrete things to realize. For example, Laozi said "goodness is like water", said the highest state of being a human being. Should be like water. What kind of water? I think this refers to the cleanliness of water, sacrifice and changeability of three points. Cleanliness refers to the essence of being a person like water, white, clean (Chen's taijiquan elaboration of the principle of being a person: always keep the body in the right): sacrifice refers to the spirit of dedication. Water always cleanses others by dirtying itself. It is the cultivation of being a human being (Chen's Taijiquan's technical concept of "surrendering oneself to others": only by surrendering oneself can one conquer one's opponent). Only by giving up oneself can one conquer one's opponents): Fickleness, on the other hand, refers to the ability of water to adapt to various environments in a smooth, natural and flexible manner. For people naturally means the ability to adapt to society ("smooth and natural", "with the curve on the stretch" is the terminology of taijiquan), on the other hand, also refers to the temperament of the water rigid and flexible. It can be a gurgling, trickling stream. It can also be a flash flood, river flooding. For people, it should be said that the human personality or two sides of the Chen's taijiquan relaxation and force when the embodiment of the two styles could only be used to describe the "rigid-flexible"). It is easy to see from the content in parentheses. Taijiquan can very much reflect the above mentioned nature of water and the principles of human behavior. I often use natural things such as wind and water as analogies to the nature of Taijiquan when listening to my father's lectures. Listening to them more often naturally led to these epiphanies.

Of course, this topic is too big to be expressed in a few words, so I'm just exploring it briefly through this example. But one thing is certain: Taiji. itself is a great way! It is all-encompassing. It is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, all-encompassing. We define it this way there are too many bases, therefore, behind us, in our ancestors left nearly five thousand years of Tai Chi culture to do backing!

Talking about this, I can not help but think of such a phenomenon: Japan, South Korea to learn a little of our cultural fur on the whole tea ceremony, calligraphy, learning some of the basic skills of Chinese martial arts on the whole out of judo, karate, aikido, kendo, taekwondo, and so on a whole lot of "Road Road" to us, but we are always humbly called! We are always modestly calling our own things as tea art, calligraphy, taijiquan ...... As we all know, "Dao" is more important than "art", "method" and "fist". ", "boxing", "art" and so on what the "Dao" much deeper?

From this question. As a carrier of Taiji culture Chen's Taijiquan was finally characterized as a search for the "way" and why not?

All in all, Chinese civilization, a long history; Taiji culture. The culture of Taiji is profound and profound. On my personal experience plus the shallow life experience. At present, I can only think about, explore so a little skin. Inappropriate, less than, please fellow seniors elders do not begrudge advice.
