How to play plum blossom piles?

Plum blossom pile, also known as Taiji plum blossom pile, is one of the traditional auxiliary instruments in Tai Ji Chuan. It is a wooden stake, usually hexagonal or octagonal. The following are the ways to play and use plum blossom piles:

Steady your body: stand on the plum blossom pile, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your body relaxed and balanced. Through standing practice, you can adjust your posture and temper your sense of coordination and balance.

Improve the pace: you can use plum blossom piles to practice the pace, such as forward, backward, left and right, which helps to stabilize the pace and improve agility.

Meditation: Meditate on plum blossom piles as a meditation tool. Close your eyes, breathe slowly and relax. This helps to cultivate concentration, enhance self-examination and calm the mood.

Improve flexibility: stretching and expanding the body with plum blossom piles is helpful to increase muscle flexibility and improve joint flexibility.

Turn your body: You can train your flexibility and coordination by turning your waist and twisting your upper body. At the same time, with Tai Ji Chuan's gestures, it is more difficult and interesting to practice.

Massage acupoints: When standing or sitting down, you can press, knead or pat the surface of plum blossom pile with both hands to stimulate the body meridians and acupoints and promote blood circulation.

In a word, plum blossom pile is a common auxiliary tool for Tai Ji Chuan lovers. Through the practice of playing and movements, it is helpful to improve the balance, flexibility and coordination of the body, as well as to meditate and relieve stress. I hope the above introduction will help you!
