Introduction to the philosophy of Yin and Yang in Taiji.
Tai Ji Chuan is a treasure of traditional martial arts in China. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, we must understand the changes of Yin and Yang in the theory of boxing, and find the meaning of practicing boxing in the changes of Yin and Yang.
Commonly known as tai chi thirteen potential boxing spectrum. In understanding, some people break down the thirteen potentials into thirteen postures, which is incorrect.
In fact, there are thirteen methods for the thirteen potential movements of Tai Chi, which are what we usually call "pushing, smoothing, squeezing, pressing, picking, stretching, elbowing, leaning, advancing, retreating, caring, looking forward and deciding". Among them, the first eight words are eight techniques, and the last five words are five footwork, commonly known as eight doors and five steps, or gossip and five elements, all of which refer to these thirteen methods.
Tai Ji Chuan is a profound knowledge, and Tai Ji Chuan's boxing is like the way to treat people in daily life. Tai Ji Chuan is of educational significance.
Holding eight methods, that is, eight methods, and these eight methods have a strict corresponding relationship with Wen Wang's eight diagrams orientation map.
Tai Ji Chuan belongs to the family boxing. Therefore, the orientation of the Eight Diagrams has its own orifices corresponding to the human body, and each orifice has its own position in the meridians and viscera of the human body.
In this way, in the operation of Tai Ji Chuan, it is the essence of Tai Ji Chuan's internal training to inhale purposefully, transport the body according to the orifices, and feel the spirit. Practice has proved that people who practice Taoism in Tai Ji Chuan for a long time can not only produce miraculous effects in martial arts, but also have the effect of eliminating diseases and prolonging life in health care.
Tai Ji Chuan's Yang Can changes of Yin and Yang regulate the balance of Yin and Yang, and have the function of nourishing and protecting the liver. Old people practicing Tai Ji Chuan can also prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of falling.
In order to let everyone know exactly the corresponding relationship between the Eight Methods of Taiji and the Eight Diagrams, the following is a detailed introduction of the Eight Methods.
1. "In gossip, it's a hurdle, and it's full."
Due north, the five elements belong to water, and the corresponding acupoint of the human body is Yin Hui, which belongs to the kidney meridian. The word "Jin" is the main word in the eight laws.
2. In the gossip, smoothing is a kind of separation, which is empty.

It is a shock and a pity to squeeze into gossip.
The bearing is due east, and the five elements belong to wood. The corresponding position of the human body is Jiaji point. This point belongs to the liver meridian. In the eight methods, the word is mainly crowded.
According to the gossip, it is exchange and lack.

The five steps of Tai Chi are the five steps in the thirteen trends of Tai Chi. As mentioned in the last article, stepping on the five elements means going forward, going back, looking forward and deciding. These five footwork also correspond to the relative positions of human meridians and viscera, and also to the five elements of heaven, that is, fire, water and earth in Jin Mu. Now the corresponding relationship is described as follows.
1, thousands of metallic waters in the five elements, bearing due north, and the corresponding acupoint of the human body is Yin Hui. This point belongs to the kidney meridian.

4. Looking to the right, the five elements belong to gold, and the position is due west. The corresponding position of the human body is Zhongshan point. This point belongs to the lung and spleen meridians.
The theory of combining Yin and Yang is one of the cores of studying Tai Ji Chuan's Forty-two Styles.
Tai Ji Chuan is the essence of China traditional culture. Modern people practicing Tai Ji Chuan can not only keep fit, but also prevent diseases. Tai Ji Chuan has many functions.
? If it is heavy, it will follow, and if it is double, it will lag. Every time I see a few years of pure merit, those who can't move are self-made and ill. If you want to avoid this disease, you should pay attention to the combination of yin and yang. Knowing is knowing. After understanding the strength, the more you practice, the better you will get what you want. ? This passage comes from Wang Zongyue's On the Forty-two Styles of Tai Ji Chuan in the Ming Dynasty.
Other books reprinted this article and added a few words: If you want to avoid this disease, you must know Yin and Yang. Persistence means walking, and walking means persistence. Yin does not leave Yang, Yang does not leave Yin, and the combination of Yin and Yang is the only way to understand strength. ? In the middle of this article? Sticking is from yang to yin? Sixteen words, right? Yin and Yang? Explain these four words and the meaning will be clearer.
Yin and Yang are the essentials of Tai Ji Chuan's practice and the core of Tai Ji Chuan. Without yin and yang, you can't practice boxing or palm, otherwise you will lose the meaning of practicing boxing.
The essence of Taiji is divided into Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang are embodied in boxing, that is, the inside and outside are clear, the reality is divided, the opening and closing are performed, and the rigidity and softness are analyzed. The combination of yin and yang, or the elimination of yang by yin, or the elimination of yin by yang, is the round image of Tai Chi.
The round image is the original form of Tai Chi, and Tai Chi always coexists with Yin and Yang, and the two complement each other. Its change is the rotation of Tai Chi. This kind of rotation, like a ring like a ball, is endless, and the so-called: There are top and bottom, front and back, left and right.
If you want to go up, you mean hint. It is advisable to distinguish between reality and reality. Where there is a virtual reality, there is this virtual reality everywhere. ? This is the whole family, with yin and yang everywhere.
It is often said that Tai Ji Chuan is full of yin and yang, and Tai Ji Chuan can keep in good health because practicing Tai Ji Chuan can reconcile the yin and yang of the body and improve the stability of the body.
There is no linear movement in Tai Ji Chuan, Pushing Hands, Sanshou and Wushu, and there is no gap. The whole set of boxing always takes the waist as the axis, and the movements of head, hands, arms, shoulders, body, legs and feet follow a round or flat arc; At its corner, it still took an arc, big and small, positive and oblique. The so-called arc walking means that the skills are always dependent on each other and change with each other.
The natural connection between the feet and the ground is the foundation. If you don't move, you will be still, which belongs to yin, and the whole body will rotate like Tai Chi. If you move, you will move, which belongs to yang. To take a step back, the virtual foot is getting stronger and the real foot is getting weaker, that is, yin gives birth to yang and yang gives birth to yin.
No matter from real to virtual, or from virtual to real, it is not a sudden change or mutation, but a slow and even transformation between real and virtual. The imaginary point, the real point, the body center of gravity moves forward or backward with the spiral rotation of the waist shaft, and it is always within the rotation range of the legs and feet. This can stabilize the whole body and contain infinite softness, qi and strength.
One foot is solid and one foot is empty, which is easy to do; However, this foot slowly and evenly becomes empty, and the other foot, in turn, is the same everywhere, but it is quite difficult. This movement must be gentle and light. And its virtual reality and yin and yang always seem to be nothing, which is even more difficult.
? Its root is in the foot, the hair is in the leg, the main body is in the waist, and the shape is in the finger? It's from the inside out, isn't it hard work and practice? The whole family? . This? The whole family? , or? There is a virtual reality in a place? . For example, if the left foot is solid and the right foot is empty, then the right hand is solid and the left hand is empty.
This actually means, not coercion. The left hand is empty, which accords with the reality of the left foot. The sky is above the left, and above the right. Between progress and retrogression, it is soft and slow, and gradually transforms into a solid right foot and a weak left foot.
At the same time, with the rotation of the waist, the left hand becomes a reality, with seven ideas, and the right hand becomes empty, leaving only one idea. At this time, the right side is upper deficiency and lower deficiency, and the left side is upper deficiency and lower deficiency.
Knowing this meaning and this change is a glance, right? The combination of yin and yang is the only way to understand strength? Door wall.
Left and right palms, fists, fingers rotating up and down, is also a clear distinction between reality and yin and yang.
The familiar hands of ordinary people in boxing practice, such as holding the ball, rotating back and forth, and changing the position of hands, are all more vivid yin-yang movements, and the exchange of reality and reality.
In the process of shelving or pushing, the joint extends to the yang, and naturally retracts to the yin; The whole body spreads out as yang and contracts as yin; Practice boxing, rise to yang, sink to yin; Natural breathing, inhalation is yang, exhalation is yin and yang alternating, everywhere.
"Thirteen potential actions and solutions" said: Very soft, and then very hard? It is also a regular manifestation of the interdependence, mutual growth and mutual transformation of Yin and Yang. However, those who practice the 42-style Tai Ji Chuan must use the correct method and practice hard for many years before they can get this transformation.
? Yin and Yang? , is one of the most important laws of the 42-style Taijiquan, which cannot be forced by manpower or restricted by dogma. "thirteen potential exercises" says: qi should be cultivated directly, without harm, and energy should be accumulated by music. ?
Be straight, is this the original intention? Drum? . With the least force, it means sucking air, from yang to yin, from yin to yang, which is it? Direct support? And then what? Drum? . There is no intention of bleeding, just staying in the abdomen, and the limbs are easy to use clumsy force. There is no difference between yin and yang, excess and deficiency, and opening and closing.
? Strength is greater than music? The key points are also in the way of combining yin and yang and the principle of reciprocity of yin and yang.
In Li Yaxuan? Strong? There are five kinds: hard, rigid, soft, light and nothingness. The latter three kinds of strength must run through the boxing theory of the coexistence and transformation of yin and yang, in order to remove the hard strength and achieve its softness, lightness and nothingness.
You have to go into battle lightly and be full of energy to enter the gate of the gods; If you have nothing, you can reach God. In the word "Quxu", Quxu is dynamic, belonging to Yang, hiding is static, belonging to Yin, and Yin dissipates Yang for a long time, while Yang dissipates Yin, and Quxu rotates alternately like a wheel, accumulating energy for internal work; Appearance and movements are flexible curves, and lines are fists. Kung fu and boxing also have the basic principle of coexistence of yin and yang.
There are two sentences in the next part of the Taoist Yin Fu Jing: the way of nature is quiet, so everything in heaven and earth is born, and the way of heaven and earth is immersed, so yin and yang prevail. ? Natural way? , that is, the equilibrium oscillation state of natural dynamic system is also. Where the dynamic system is balanced, regardless of its size, its energy field is bound to be the largest and its benefits are also the greatest.
So-called? Everything in the world is born? Of course, it also includes the birth of internal strength and external boxing. Lu commented on the above article:? Immersion means that the husband's yin wins the yang and the yang wins the yin, both of which are gradual. ? This uninterrupted gradual transformation of Yin and Yang is a natural way to balance the dynamic system.
Learn to practice the 42-style Tai Ji Chuan. Yin and Yang depend on each other. What is the process? Bubble? With what? Gradually? , that is? As strong as silk? It is also called. If you are not loose, soft, light, flexible and uneven, you will not understand the way of Yin and Yang, and of course you will not be able to practice any internal skills.
Ancient theory of traditional Chinese medicine: Yin and Yang are separated, and people are unique. ? Taijiquan 42 is not Taijiquan 42 if it has yin and no yang; There is yang without yin, there is exterior without interior, there is movement without static, there is tangible without spirit, and there is rigidity in command, so you are the head of the family. After studying for ten years and eight years, it is definitely not a 42-style Tai Ji Chuan.
Boxing theory is Tao, Tao is empty, and boxing frame is solid. Preference for practicing boxing, giving up boxing, a difference of 108 thousand miles, this is called yang without yin. Of course, this boxing is not a real Taijiquan 42 style.
Let's give a very small example: the bird-tail press, which boxing learners are very familiar with, is that the arm turns straight from bending, the palm is pushed forward, the right leg is gradually bent into a solid step, and the left leg is gradually straightened into a virtual step.
For example, when pushing the palm forward, turning the waist slightly from right to left drives the right shoulder, arm, elbow and palm to move forward and upward, and the spirit expands in the right upper limb. It is actually yang, and the deficiency of the left upper limb is yin. In addition to the rotation of the forearm, the left and right palms must be slightly separated, which belongs to Yang.
Only at this moment, the right upper limb turns from deficiency to excess, that is, yin eliminates yang and the left lower limb turns from excess to deficiency, that is, yang exhausts and yin generates. At this time, if the palms move inward again, they will turn from opening to closing, which means inhaling, converging from the right palm, passing through the abdomen and back, turning to the left palm, making the waist slightly turn from left to right, driving the left palm to move forward, and then the right palm is insufficient.
All these movements are arc-shaped, and they are completed with minimal force. From the point of view of force, the left and right upper limbs move with a little force. The difference is that the spirit always turns in circles all over the body, from left to right, from right to left, as if there is nothing to talk about, thus separating the yin and yang and transforming the ears evenly and quietly.
