Why is Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Biography known as the first martial art in the Central Plains?

? Because Tai Ji Chuan is a philosophy, it is actually not a kind of kung fu, but an action of self-cultivation. Just as the sun comes out and goes down, it is a truth to conform to the laws of nature. The origin of Zhang Sanfeng and Tai Ji Chuan is water, and Zhang Sanfeng's understanding from observing the characteristics of water is a bit far-fetched, if it is a kind of kung fu. As the Book of Changes said, water control is the essence of Taiji Chuan. Is Tai Ji Chuan really like an old man in a modern park? Definitely not.

? The purpose of Tai Ji Chuan is not to hit people, but to prevent others from hitting you, just like water. Let me give a simple example! Just like the existence of all things is the same, there is yin and there is yang, and yang depends on yin and yin depends on yang. When the sun rises, we will go out to do business or do something else. When the sun goes down, our bodies will be very tired. Even after a day's sleep, I will be sleepy when the sun goes down. This is to conform to all things, and so is the essence of Tai Chi.

? The existence of Taiji emphasizes that everything has yin and yang, everything is Taiji, and we are also Taiyin, because we are the products of yin and yang, just as it is a truth to take the father as yang and the mother as yin in the Book of Changes. But why is it called boxing? Actually, this is a rumor. The existence of Tai Chi is actually ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture and so on. We all know acupuncture. You can cure a disease by sticking the needle into the acupoint. Do you find it strange? You should be used to it, so if you can treat diseases by acupuncture points, why can't you move them by action? So there was Tai Ji Chuan.

? According to historical records, Zhang Sanfeng didn't say that Tai Ji Chuan was a kind of kung fu, but through Tai Ji Chuan's self-cultivation, his body was better than ordinary people and he lived longer. So Tai Ji Chuan is not a kind of kung fu. Of course, you can use some exercise to try not to let others hit you. But if you have to turn myth into a kind of kung fu, it's a bit far-fetched.
