Ding Shui De--Excellent Inheritor of Yang Style Taijiquan

Hangzhou Mid-Levels National Forest Park is located in the north of Hangzhou city, it is by the Mid-Levels, Longshan, Hushan three parks connected to the joint name, the entire forest park layers of verdure, ancient trees in the sky, the scenery is pleasant, the air is very fresh. You pick up the steps along the path to Longshan, far from the fog can be seen in front of the soft surrounded by a few inlaid in the green mahogany house, black tile, pointed roof, like Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the mushroom room, but also like a landscape painting in the green ink stained out of the brush, Hangzhou Xuan De Taijiquan Museum in this mahogany house.

The 89-year-old master, Ding Shui De, sits in the Xuan De Taijiquan Center. There is a small open space in the back of the mountain, in the center of which is a pavilion, and the perimeter of the open space is surrounded by dense ancient trees and bushes, and the May sunlight through the dense foliage reflects messy spots of light on the open space, and in the wind shaking the ground, those lights are like little elves mischievous bouncing on the ground. This was the place where Sifu taught kung fu in the summer, not big, but cozy. There is no hot sun in the forest, but there is a breeze, this place is cool and quiet, the air is refreshing and pleasant, we call it a natural oxygen bar, is a good place to practice taijiquan.

Master is the cultivation of the body has been accomplished Taiji master, is the fifth generation of Yang-style Taijiquan the best heir, he studied Yang-style Taiji more than 70 years, the oldest old man, boxing, sword, sword, gun is still playing out of this world. With the master to play 85-style Taijiquan, really very enjoyable, he walks lightly and pleasantly, such as walking on thin ice; moves loose calm and slow, ShuZhang elegant; look dignified and quiet, calm and introverted; and sinking and not floating, condensed and not stagnant, no drop of ornamentation. Every time I go to Longshan, I especially look forward to completing the 85-step exercise under the guidance of the master.

Today, there are many people coming to Longshan, and I heard from Mr. Ren that there will be another tournament soon. It's still early, and Sifu is already at the back of the gym, surrounded by a group of people who are listening intently to Sifu's teachings. Today, Sifu is dressed in a moonlight-white taiji outfit, his eyes are still deep and bright, and he has a whistle hanging on his neck. Oh! The original has begun to train the participants, a moment everyone in the master's arrangement of the field sub-projects began to practice ....... Master from time to time to stand up to guide and correct their moves, and I stood on the side to listen to the master of the teaching.

At this moment, the scene of the first meeting with Sifu overlapped with the scene in front of me. That summer, Ms. Ren Xiaoyu encouraged us to compete. She said that the intensive training before the competition was very beneficial to the improvement of boxing skills, and her master Ding Shui De attached great importance to improving the boxing skills of his disciples, and when there was a task to compete, he would personally carry out systematic training for his disciples who were competing in the competition. Ms. Ren Xiaoyu, who has been a disciple of Sifu Ding Shui De for many years, admires her Sifu and often speaks of her Sifu with praise. We signed up for the competition, hoping very much to be taught by her master. The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, and she was so happy to see me, and I was so happy to see her.

That day, the master was also surrounded by a number of people in the middle of the field. He had a straight back, a light gray tai chi suit that was clean and elegant, silvery white hair that glistened under the refraction of the sunlight, slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes, a glowing gaze, and a loud voice and a clear diction, which made him a tough and sturdy elder. The first time we met some of the constraints, keenly he felt, smilingly walked to our side and said: welcome to train here, thank you for your love of Yang-style taijiquan. Don't worry, study hard, train seriously, I will guide you, Yang style Taijiquan needs to be carried forward by everyone.

His gentle smile, modest and pure, "A wise man is modest, a good man is forgiving." This is probably what he meant. Master is a martial arts practitioner, but also has a very good cultural literacy. When he taught boxing theory, he expressed his thoughts clearly, in-depth and concise, especially easy for people to accept and remember. When teaching boxing moves, he demonstrates them physically over and over again, tirelessly and tirelessly. He is patient and attentive in the teaching process, and rarely scolds or reprimands people. He advocated teaching and learning together, so that scholars could teach each other and learn from each other, and practiced boxing together. He was beside the boy everyone practicing boxing, and one by one pointed out the problem, analyze the problem, and then corrected one by one, for a moment did not grasp the scholars, told not to rush back slowly comprehension.

He taught boxing is very thoughtful, body shape and techniques, as well as the spirit of the spirit of everything, I remember him talking about the start, said we lack the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit, soft ....... He said, the starting position is like the morning sun rises, by the static rotation, there should be a kind of momentum and the power of the body in the body, to be full of spirit and bright eyes ....... He said he would play sets, even if the movement is correct is far from enough, know how to play boxing, and will play boxing, is not the same. Will, get is a kind of external shape; understand, is to be honed through how many years, in order to little by little to comprehend the great depth of Taiji, Taiji ground learning never-ending.

Pre-match training is intense, we participate in a season of training personnel will always lose a few pounds. During this period, the master has to work even harder, every day for several hours, we still have a gap to rest, and the master is a turn to fight, sometimes drinking water can not care, next to the disciples look at the heartache of handing over a cup of water, he hastily drank a mouthful. Participants in the training are also extremely cherish the opportunity to learn and improve, non-stop people ask questions, the master went out of his way to solve the puzzle, but also praised everyone, said: thank you, everyone worked hard, you love Yang style taijiquan I'm very happy!

That year, the master was 85 years old. At that age, he worked so hard to train the participants from all walks of life, which was really very remarkable, and what was even more touching was that the majority of the participants were not very familiar with him. But he can treat all the same dedication to teach, every day tired of sweaty clothes, hungry, just sit next to the venue to eat a mouthful of bread ....... His dedication and contribution to the promotion of Yang style Tai Chi, we witnessed those who know the heart, grateful in the bosom. And now, winter and spring and the past several years, old age, he is still so dedicated to training disciples, really admirable!

Master said, to be a good boxer is the most difficult, you need to have a long time to study the boxing and enlightenment, the perception of the body to understand the body to know, but also to be able to speak and teach well, and have a good physique, to be able to withstand the repeated demonstrations of the physical force. He said that taijiquan is passed on from one generation to the next, the teacher is a very important part of the succession, a lot of things are very difficult to express clearly in the video and text, and it is very difficult to teach and really teach his disciples without these external and internal conditions.

Master is a highly respected Taiji master and a rare Taiji master. He is a meticulous thinker, wise and discerning, and his philosophy of spreading Tai Chi is very relevant to contemporary reality. He said that Taijiquan is a kind of kungfu, a kind of fighting skill, which can fight but is never violent, Yang-style Taijiquan never flaunts its teeth and claws, and its sharpness does not appear outwardly, and its internalization is the real kungfu. Taijiquan contains the profound culture of our country, it is boxing and boxing, is an art. Practicing Taijiquan will make you feel like stretching like flowing water, and you can get pleasure from strengthening your body and spirit at the same time. Tai Chi should be enjoyed and loved by a wider range of people. To regard Taijiquan as a martial art only will confine the limitations of its development.

Elevate contemporary Taijiquan to an art, focusing on its beauty and ornamental qualities. This is one of the aspects that Master adheres to the essence of traditional Chinese Taijiquan and tries to improve it with innovative attitude. In order to let more people understand and love Taijiquan, he has compiled Yang Style 27 Forms of Taijiquan, in which he concentrates on the most representative and the best moves of Yang Style Taijiquan in just 27 Forms, and preserves the style of his master, Mr. Niu Chunming, such as Niu Shoulder Leaning, and each move is simple and concise, with rich content, and the whole set of boxing is tightly connected and complete. Each move is concise and rich in connotation, the whole set of boxing is tight and complete, and each move is stretching and sound, so it is very popular among the people because of its spirituality, elegance and aesthetics. Because of the compilation of Yang Style 27 concise without losing the connotation, it is also the most suitable introductory material for the beginners to learn Yang Style Taijiquan, and it will soon be popular in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Yang style Taijiquan in the master's unremitting efforts, flourished, to Xuan De named boxing halls and Taiji team continues to emerge, they are all over the world branching and spreading leaves ....... Suddenly, I remembered the summer many years ago, in the primitive forest of Kaifa, Quzhou, I saw a big tree in the sky. It stood quietly under the hot sun, lush branches and leaves sprinkled with shade, sunshine, rain and fog, sheltering many living beings. Even the flowers and grasses under the tree, but also leaped out of the flavor. The towering canopy of the wind shaking branches swing, our line of people walking tired people, sitting on the roots of the large Thuja rest, cool and reverie. Why think of that tree at this time? The roots of a large tree to cover the sky so that its branches flourish, a Taiji masters make Taiji all over the world to spread their leaves, between them did not have to be connected?

The other day, I saw a video on WeChat that introduced Master Yang's philosophy of spreading Yang Style Tai Chi: to benefit the people! This philosophy is pure and charitable, so that I and other deep realization of the Taiji master of the world's first worry about the heart! The most precious thing for people is life is health. But age environment many problems are eroding people's health. Master said, Taiji development to the present, is no longer kill the enemy to win the trick, not to mention the martial arts boxing equipment of life and death learning. Rather, it is to enlighten people through the practice of Tai Chi, know how to use the natural way of yin and yang changes to cultivate people's physical and mental health, the use of Tai Chi to serve people's health, so that Yang style Tai Chi has become a pursuit of physical health and spiritual sublimation through the combination of the external practice of Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi theory of internal training, in order to achieve the unity of physical fitness and nourishing sex.

Master has spent more than 70 years of his life polishing the purity of Yang Style Taiji, so that it can benefit the people. He opened a martial arts school in Longshan, far away from the fickleness and close to nature. He planted Yang Style Taiji in the dense forests of Longshan Mountain, returning the changes of yin and yang to the natural way, practicing in the silence of the scene, and realizing the rich connotation of Taijiquan, which is far-reaching. The traditional Chinese health care theory has the following statement: "If the heart is in turmoil, all kinds of diseases will be born, and if the heart is quiet, all kinds of diseases will be rested." Almost all of the Chinese health science tells people to keep their minds clear of desires, to be indifferent, to be calm and to be wise. Therefore, maintaining tranquility of mind and spirit is the first and foremost to ensure physical and mental health. Choose Longshan quiet environment to practice Tai Chi, to help into the quiet, quiet can make us contemplation qualitative cultivation of sex, quiet cultivation of sex is the heart clear and peaceful.

Recently read a statistic, (said the Americans do) 3,000 people practice yoga, 3,000 people practice taijiquan, after a year after the test, found that taijiquan on chronic diseases, pain, insomnia better than yoga, so the United States is even now considering legislation to promote taijiquan. Taijiquan outstanding inheritors is the most core valuable asset in the taijiquan system. Taijiquan inheritors have excellent talents from generation to generation, and they lead a generation and pass on the fire for generations. And the master is their most compassionate and kind-hearted is also the most intelligent inheritor, his philosophy: speak taiji national essence, to practice taiji to strengthen people's physical fitness, with the practice of taiji to make people's mind to get pleasure, the spirit of nourishment.

硏拳悟道，也像参禅修心，心中有佛，但这佛是人民众。 To benefit the people, with such a beautiful faith, spread Tai Chi has a compassionate heart to keep the way. Benefiting the people is knowing love and gratitude, and spreading Tai Chi is the way of wisdom and clarity. I feel honored that Yang Style Taijiquan has such a sower! With the efforts of Sifu and his excellent disciples, the great tree of Yang Style Tai Chi will surely flourish and reproduce more trees, which are scattered on the land and will grow into a grove of trees in the coming year and the next coming year ....... There are generations and generations of masters such as Tai Chi inheritors in, Yang style Tai Chi will be more perfect, more brilliant, for more people love , generations of inheritance for the benefit of our Chinese nation!

"The sky has been curtained, the moon is like the beginning, thousands of miles of rivers and streams let me fly; song live, people happy, invite the moon with the depths of the green hills" or with the theme of the "Taiji Master" of the end of the lyrics, because I think, the lyrics are too much like for the master tailor-made.
