1 Taiji Chuan was inextricably linked with Taoism in ancient China. Tai Ji Chuan is the perfect combination of dialectical theoretical thinking, martial arts, art and guidance of the Chinese nation, and it is the advanced culture of mankind. The origin of Tai Ji Chuan's posture is very similar to that of Taoism, in which the technique of "imperial step" is the regimen of ancient China, and the imperial step in Taoist magic is the embryonic form of today's eight diagrams step and Tai Chi circle step. Tai Ji Chuan's theory comes directly from Taoism, and inherits and develops the Taoist thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Under the guidance of the purpose of rebirth and respecting morality, there are a series of long-term health-preserving, self-cultivation and eyesight-improving exercise methods, which are concentrated and accurately reflected in Tai Ji Chuan's boxing theory. "Weakness is better than strength." In Tai Ji Chuan, the use of force, the "four-two-thousand-pound trick", combining rigidity with softness and static braking all originated from the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, so Tai Ji Chuan was called "the quintessence of the country". Tai Ji Chuan's movement is characterized by moderation, lightness, flexibility, fluency, orderly opening and closing, combining rigidity with softness, and moving like "flowing water, continuous". This kind of movement is natural and elegant, and you can experience the rhythm of music, the connotation of philosophy, the beautiful shape and the artistic conception of poetry. In the advanced enjoyment, let the disease disappear and make the body and mind healthy. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zongyue was good at thinking: Taiji practitioners were born without promises and were the mother of Yin and Yang. Moving is divided, and static is closed. If there is nothing wrong, stretch with the music. As soon as people left me, I followed them and told them to stick. If you are anxious, you must be anxious, and if you are slow, you must be slow. Although it has changed a lot, it is consistent. From familiarity to understanding, from understanding to God. However, if you don't exert yourself for a long time, it is impossible to suddenly understand. Weak spirit, heavy spirit. Impartial, flickering. If the left side is heavy, the left side is weak, and if the right side is heavy, the right side is right. Looking up, it is high; Looking down, it is deep; If you move forward, the time will be longer; If you retreat, it will be faster. You can't add a dime, flies can't fall, people don't know me, I know people alone. Heroes are invincible, and everyone comes from this. There are many side doors, and although there are potential differences, they are nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and slowly give way to the ear. Strong and weak, slow and fast, this is a natural ability, which has nothing to do with academic ability and is promising. A sentence of four or two thousand pounds is obviously not a victory; Looking at the shape of an old man who can conquer the public, what can be done quickly? Stand as accurately as a scale, live like a wheel, walk too hard, and fall behind twice. Every time I see a few years of pure merit, I can't get it, I'm self-made, and I'm ill. To avoid this disease, you should know yin and yang; Stick it, stick it, yang does not leave yin, yin does not leave yang; The combination of yin and yang is the only way to understand strength. After understanding the strength, the more you practice, the better you will get what you want. This is to give up oneself and follow others, to be near and to seek far by mistake. The so-called difference is thousands of miles. Scholars can't tell. This is a theory.
Li Cunyi, the third master of Xingyiquan.
Xingyiquan is one of the three famous internal boxing (Xingyiquan, Taiji and Bagua) in China, ranking among the four famous boxing in China. However, the style of Xingyiquan is hard-hitting and hard-advancing, such as lightning and thunder, which is unique in family boxing. Xingyiquan originated from Taigu, Shanxi. Shanxi Xingyiquan is characterized by exquisite skills, loose and tight form, eclectic appearance and changeable play. The twelve forms of form and meaning emphasize the offensive skills of exotic animals, and the five elements emphasize the connotations of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In the early Qing Dynasty, Xingyiquan was widely spread in Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places, and famous artists came forth in large numbers in the past hundred years. 19 14, Hao Enguang went to Japan to teach students studying in Japan, so he introduced Xingyiquan abroad. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xingyiquan was listed as a national martial arts performance and competition, which was carried out all over the country. In addition, Xingyiquan is practiced in Southeast Asia, Japan and the United States, and there are special organizations and publications. Xingyiquan takes five elements boxing (chop, jump, drill, cannon and cross) and twelve-shaped boxing (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, owl, swallow, snake, snake, eagle and bear) as the basic boxing methods, and its pile method is based on three-body style. In some areas of Shanxi, "standing on the abdomen" and "six-in-one" are the basic pile methods. Other single practice routines include five-element serial, miscellaneous hammer, stereotyped boxing, four-handed boxing, twelve-handed boxing, entering and leaving the hole, five-element combination, Long Hudou, eight-character kung fu, and upper, middle and lower eight hands. There are three pistols, five flower guns, anesthesia guns and nine collars in the training routine. The practice of instruments is mainly based on knives, guns, swords and sticks, and most of them are named after Sanhe, Liuhe, Lianhuan and Sancai. Xingyiquan, which is popular in Henan, is often called "Mind Boxing". The basic boxing methods are ten styles (dragon, tiger, chicken, eagle, snake, horse, cat, monkey, harrier and swallow) and four styles (head boxing, collar picking, eagle catching and hand sticking). There are chicken leg piles and eagle bear piles. There are Long Hudou, Eleven in One, Upper, Middle and Lower Four in single training routines. Xingyiquan, which is popular all over the country, has its own characteristics in style besides different technical contents. For example, Xingyiquan in Hebei province stretches steadily; Xingyiquan, which is popular in Shanxi, is compact and delicate. Psychological boxing in Henan province is brave and powerful.
