Preface to Taiji

"Practicing Tai Chi to keep fit" has become a popular daily self-care method for office workers in the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions. In new york, Tokyo, Seoul, in more cities, in the early morning or evening, in parks and quiet places, you will accidentally bump into people who play Tai Chi. Not only the elderly, but also office workers living in cities are becoming loyal fans of this ancient Tai Chi from the East.

In China, as we all know, Tai Chi is a kind of kung fu, which is slow and effective. 1885, hiram Maxim invented the machine gun, and the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the American people to celebrate the 0/00th anniversary of American independence, is arriving in new york from France. That year, my grandfather also practiced Tai Ji Chuan under the rule of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and he was a sparring partner.

Today, Tai Chi, as an effective physical and mental training method integrating martial arts, health care and pleasure, has become a symbol of China's traditional culture and a bridge and link for foreign cultural exchanges. In 2008, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing World Olympic Games, the Taiji Square directed by Zhang Yimou once again attracted the world's attention to China Taiji. According to the data of authoritative international statistical agencies, up to now, the number of people practicing Tai Ji Chuan in the world has exceeded 350 million, making it the largest body-building exercise in the world.

What is Tai Chi? What problems can be solved with it? ..... When I was a teenager, I began to learn Chen Tai Ji Chuan from Chen Jiagou and developed the traditional Tai Ji Chuan in martial arts. The legendary swordsman used to be "stunted", but now he is past middle age and is ashamed of it. What shall we do? I want to learn from myself and join the WTO to save lives. According to my own practice, I specially created a set of "five-minute skills for urbanites not to get sick" by combining the massage techniques of Taiji Zhuan, Huangdi Neijing, Zhouyi and Changshou Ji and other China secrets.

My starting point is simple. What should I do? You might as well buy a copy of Tai Chi, read it carefully, and practice "Tai Chi Kung" easily for 5 minutes every day to start the body's self-healing system to prevent and treat diseases.

It must be noted that Tai Chi is a self-exercise method, which can improve a person's resistance to diseases and aging. Only with a clear head and careful restraint can we eliminate all diseases and keep fit. This is the highest state of health care described in Tao Te Ching and Nanhua Ching. At present, there are books on health care for the elderly everywhere in the market. Experts make a report, and the opening is also "How to keep in good health? What kind of products are best for health? I believe this is one of the most concerned issues for middle-aged and elderly friends who care about life and health around us. " Tai Chi is a kind of self-exercise higher than keeping in good health. Everyone knows that Tai Ji Chuan's principle is "there is rigidity in softness, there is a brake in quietness, there is speed in slowing down, and then attack people". Persistence can ensure good health. It is worth mentioning that the Tai Chi movement I advocated started with young people. Young people should learn to care about themselves and love themselves. To love yourself is to love all those who love you.

Finally, with the book, a copy of "Illustration of Taiji" written by Jin Yasheng, a teacher in the Republic of China, is attached. Teacher Jin Yasheng is a middle school Chinese teacher. She likes martial arts since she was a child and can write articles. The book "Illustration of Taiji" is simple and easy to understand. Readers who want to learn from Tai Ji Chuan and are interested in Tai Ji Chuan can benefit from it. At the same time, I would also like to thank the layman Ershui for correcting the illustrations of Taiji Zhuan in his busy schedule.

I hope this book will be helpful to all readers.
