How to practice "oblique flying" with light turn and four supports

When Xi Gui Zhong expounded the essentials of practicing "oblique flying style" in the book "Yang Tai Ji Chuan Learning to Solve Puzzles", he thought that starting from the last style of "kicking the monkey backwards", the toe of the left foot was buckled 60 degrees, then the right foot was lifted, the toe was forward and right, and the toe landed south and west. This can ensure that the body is naturally tall and straight, the center of gravity is stable, the light spirit is transformed, and it is supported on all sides. However, this greatly reduces the difficulty and amount of exercise of "oblique flying" and reduces the fitness effect. But people who are old and weak can exercise according to this method, while young and middle-aged people who are strong and healthy don't have to. So how can we practice the "oblique flying" style, which can not only turn smoothly and lightly, but also support on all sides and live naturally? If you want to do the "oblique flying style" slowly and steadily, you should start with "backing the monkey back" slowly and properly, so as to lay a stable foundation for doing the "oblique flying style" well. Yang Chengfu's "The Complete Book of Taiji Biography and Body Use" clearly puts forward that "it is especially important to relax the waist and sink the qi." Therefore, when doing the fixed posture of "chasing the monkey backwards", you must sit firmly with your left leg, relax your waist, sink your hips, sink your shoulders and elbows, bounce your head, fit your whole body, inhale and accumulate strength, and be ready for the "oblique flying style". Then "turn your waist and open your hips first, and then step out your right leg gradually, which will make you look light and avoid leaning forward." (Yang Chengfu's 85 Taiji Biography Full Edition). Fu's three generations also said this in the Direct Biography of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan Method: "When the right leg is lifted, the waist and crotch gradually turn right, and with the turn, the right leg is lifted backward and extended to the right rear. The waist, hands and right legs are also constantly changing. " At this time, turn your right foot forward and exhale with both hands. "Coach's Law" also emphasizes that "the left hip should be closed, the lower plate should be stable, the waist should be loose and straight, and the central axis should not be bent, so that the inner strength can support all sides, so that it will not be skewed left and right, leaning forward and leaning back." Therefore, in the process of rotation, we should take the waist as the axis, give priority to the waist, and turn with the waist. Of course, don't forget to relax your waist and breathe heavily, bend your knees and relax your hips, empty your neck and pull your back. In addition, don't land your right foot too far, too far will land heavily and lose your lightness; Not too close. If you are too close, you will be unstable and will not be able to support all sides. Yang Chengfu also said in "On Boxing" that "when the right palm is arranged to the upper right, the strength should start from the feet, legs, waist and back, from shoulder to elbow, from elbow to hand, and the body, hands and steps should be coordinated. Speaking of all together, it's not the first one. " In this way, we can move lightly and roundly. From "driving the monkeys out" to the completion of "flying" is the process from closing to opening, as Li Yaxuan said in his "On Tai Ji Chuan", "When a potential opens, not only the limbs open, but also the heart opens first; If the situation is the same, not only the limbs are combined into one, but also the brain and chest must be combined into one. All movements must be from the inside out, so it is called internal strength. " When I first started practicing "oblique flying", I turned unsteadily, either leaning forward or leaning back, and sometimes I turned reluctantly, but my movements were very stiff. Later, keeping in mind the above technical requirements and following these requirements will not only be light and steady, but also receive good exercise results.
