In my opinion, Tai Chi is not a simple martial art, it actually contains profound philosophical thoughts and health wisdom, and is a valuable cultural heritage of our country. It cleverly integrates the characteristics of combining hardness and softness and combining movement and stillness, and achieves the effect of both body and mind through slow and calm movements. Next, I will reveal the mystery of Tai Chi to you from different angles one by one.
History Origin
Tai Chi has a long history. In the process of observing nature and experiencing life, the ancients finally created this extremely clever boxing technique after countless attempts and thoughts. It is said that Tai Chi is closely related to Taoist thought. It has been passed down from generation to generation on the land of China since then, and has gradually developed into a unique cultural symbol that we are familiar with today.
As time goes by, Tai Chi is originally intended to defend himself and resist foreign enemies, but later it gradually becomes a method to strengthen physical fitness and cultivate sentiment. During its development, many different schools have been derived, each of which has its own unique style and characteristics. Despite the numerous schools, they all adhere to the core idea of Tai Chi, making this ancient skill more colorful.
Action Features
Tai Chi's movements advocate peace and softness, and each step is like the stretching and rolling up of clouds, both smooth and natural. Under the seemingly weak appearance, there is infinite power. During the process of practicing Tai Chi, you must ensure that your body posture is correct and comfortable, and your movements must be coherent and seamless, just like a spring silkworm sprinkling silk, done in one go. This boxing style particularly emphasizes the harmony and unity of the body. Whether it is eyes, gestures, footsteps, breathing, every detail is closely connected.
Each movement strictly follows the established trajectory, as if carefully outlining an exquisite picture. There are both broad and smooth large amplitudes in the movements, as well as delicate and subtle small changes. These movements are closely connected and the transition is very natural, making people feel the beauty of a vibrant rhythm, as if every movement is full of vitality.
Physical and mental benefits
In terms of body, if you persist in practicing Tai Chi for a long time, your body will gradually become more flexible. Tai Chi movements can enhance muscle strength and also improve joint flexibility and stability. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, Tai Chi helps effectively prevent diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. In addition, when practicing Tai Chi, breathing and movements can make your breathing more even and deeper, and thus effectively exercise your heart and lung function.
In the field of psychology, Tai Chi is like a good medicine to nourish the soul. When we focus on the changes in moves, our hearts will gradually calm down and temporarily put the worries and pressures in life aside. This exercise can enhance our concentration and patience, making us more relaxed when facing various challenges in life. It can also make people more stable and peaceful, and improve their psychological ability to withstand stress.
Genre style
Tai Chi Online is a sect of Tai Chi. Among them, Chen-style Tai Chi is unique with its strong style, with a distinct sense of force and jumping in the movements, which is extremely aggressive. This style retains many traditional elements, and you can even feel the howling wind when you exert force. For example, the classic move "Vajra Pounding" combines hardness and softness, with rich changes, making it difficult to practice.
Yang style Tai Chi's moves are neither impatient nor impatient, showing a peaceful charm, its posture is open and appropriate, and it pays special attention to both internal and external cultivation, which is very suitable for the public to exercise and maintain health care. Each movement seems soothing and calm, like a clear spring flowing slowly in the mountain stream, allowing people to experience a peaceful and distant artistic conception. It is not complicated to learn and is convenient for long-term persistence.
Inheriting the status quo
Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to understand and love Tai Chi. Whether it is the people who exercise in the park square in the early morning or the students on campus, they have joined the team to learn Tai Chi. At the same time, the government and various social forces have also paid great attention. By holding various activities and competitions, actively promoting Tai Chi, this ancient skill has been spread in a wider field.
The inheritance of Tai Chi faces some challenges. First of all, the number of professional coaches is relatively small, which makes it difficult to impart many profound skills to future generations in a complete and accurate manner. Secondly, young people generally have a faster pace of life, so it is difficult for them to calm down and invest a lot of time to study. Therefore, how to protect and inherit Tai Chi more efficiently has become a question that we need to discuss in depth.
