1. What is up and down: Zheng Manqing broke the sky in one sentence
Zheng Manqing only said the secret of Taijiquan's dantian internal breathing: one upDown, it's easy to go down, it's hard to come up, and where the anger goes, the strength goes. Then Master Zheng Manqing stopped abruptly and kept silent. Therefore, although some people are surprised that Zheng Manqing talked about "qi", it seems that it is "qi" as soon as it goes up, so it is already a secret that is not passed on, and it is rumored to be false, so everyone "stopped abruptly" - braked.
"One up and down" is the yang track of solidifying and refining qi, this track is the spine, along the spine, that is, the Du pulse, mainly the essence of the tail vertebrae, the spine, the large vertebrae, down to form a dantian. Therefore, coming down is not a retreat.
The core of Tai Chi is the internal breath of the dantian, therefore, with the help of the skeletal structure of the body to experience this life phenomenon, that is, the core function of life in the body shows the continuous exhalation and inhalation and pulse beating, so as to form the synchronous operation of spiritual phenomena and blood and digestive system, and this internal schedule of work and rest is consistent with all life experiences, or has a similar experience. Small molecular cells, large world, earth and people, thus, the development of the world's society, the formation of the cause of the fate of the gold, wood, water, fire and earth system, finally, we will this life of the phenomenon of the inner breath of the Tai Chi diagram express, Tai Chi Yin and Yang, everything has the life of life and death of each transformation, life and death is not life and death, but the energy level of mutual transformation, this level in the system is free similar to the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney system, breathing, blood, digestion, fluid, muscle and bone structure, pulsation, pulse flow, thoughts, breathing, Forms of movement such as internal breathing, and thinking reactions such as experience, observation, cognition, speculation, and expression, thus forming human activities such as life, reproduction, nurturing, care, intergenerational, and social, as well as celestial activities such as seasons, cold and heat, wind, thunder, lightning, and wind and clouds, and even the cycle of earth's repetition such as soil, trees, gold and stone, ocean, and animals. Wait a minute.
Although the understanding of the above system summarizes the system of easy learning, however, this system ** in the experience of spine exercise in Taijiquan, rather than the understanding or explanation in the book, obviously, if my explanation is regarded as the explanation of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing in the book, it also lacks authoritative support, therefore, we still practice Xi the specific activities of Taijiquan, and the above overview can be understood as a statement of Taijiquan on life exercise. Tai Chi exercises the body, trains the life within the body, and the concentrated expression of practicing these systems is the spine.
2. How to get up: The whole cycle of one needs to stand upright, straighten the spine, and straighten the top of the head, and the "up" at this stage is the intentional, deliberate, and instructed to practice Xi boxing, until the beginning of the "dantian meaning" stage of Taijiquan arrives, which is the "true meaning", "true qi" and "true gong".
The so-called "one up" is actually the three "up" of the three acupuncture points of the spine: specifically, one up and one down is not so simple, because after the yang energy ascends, there is a process of yang energy returning to the five organs. Therefore, the upward movement is to pull the large vertebral acupoint as the handle, traction the tail vertebrae, clamp the spine, and reach the level of the large vertebrae, the basic skill of this stage is not "will", but the "essence" of "solidifying and refining qi", strictly speaking, is "fine", not "qi". The solid essence does not pull the large vertebrae, and the essence will also return to the spine and reach the large vertebrae, which is the most difficult stage.
One on one of the lumbar vertebrae:After holding for a month, the second stage is not a simple superposition, but a further experience, diarrhea and guarding, and can adhere to the forbidden law for two months, the spine is full of energy, the spine is full, the tail vertebrae begins to sink slightly, the waist and eyes are protruding, and the spine is trying to straighten the spine. At this time, playing Tai Chi can get out of the shelf, guard the shelf, push the hands and begin to have their own shelf, the whole body feels reborn for the first time, the whole leg has the first severe cramp, the collarbone is pulled back, and he is full of confidence.
One on two spine:Tai Chi thirteen upper body, the fist frame began to cause loose hips, tail vertebrae split, martial artists with good physical quality appeared a fist-sized muscle mass at the base of the thigh, and ordinary people only pulled the waist and hips. The muscles and bones of the whole body can be integrated with the boxing frame, and the upper body of the inner fist with the strength of the spine seems to have a giant beast in the spine point, and I also understand the low-head attack of Tyson's Western boxing, the integration of attack and dodge, and the leap of fighting. This goes on and on, a year of hard work. This spine force is a state of internal force, and it has not yet reached the strength of punching, inchfist, and the whole body on the basis of being loose and soft.
One of the three major vertebral points:Until three months of abstinence, suddenly the big vertebral points feel soft and weak, the whole body is also very loose, from the plate shelf suddenly lost the shelf, at a loss, subsequently, or the next day, the whole body like an iron man-like shelf, at this time,The essence gathers to the big vertebral point, and the whole body is like a bronze man, but at the same time as the feet and waist, legs, and shoulders, the back begins to lean forward and the back is reversedThe power of the essence hit the jade pillow acupoint, and at this time, the body became even more stiff, and the overall stiffness was overwhelming. At this time, the "meaning" guards the back of the brain body loose, the intention to keep the vestibule spring foot loose, the intention to keep the middle brain shoulder frame loose, this is the first appearance of "meaning", Tai Chi is "intention in front", completely subverted our original idea of seeing is believing, the interactive transformation of the air wonderful, between the brain and the shelf began to convert, keep the body three plates, the foot disc of the sole of the spring point gripping the ground, the middle plate of the waist and leg frame, the upper plate of the shoulder thoracic vertebrae, this "meaning" As long as you keep the back of the brain, you will feel the strength of the qi, it is the small frame and middle frame of Taijiquan, and wait until you want to guard the forehead of the brain, you will stretch out the whole arm, arm, and fingers in the spine point, and the eyes are also sent, no wonder Master Yang Chengfu will inevitably look at people angrily, and the whole body will be scattered, at this time, Taijiquan began to "hair".
Why is it difficult on the first day:Taijiquan is not to embrace all rivers and swallow the sky in one bite, but to start with essence - we all know that the foundation of traditional Chinese culture lies in morality, that is, the basis for experiencing the essence and transforming qi, and Taoism simply proposed a specific cycle - 100 days to build the foundation. Carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, in the past, we have read all the qigong books, almost all of them talk about the essence of the spirit, all talk about the consolidation of the essence of the qi, the practice of the qi and the spirit, the practice of the god and the void, almost all of them are a requirement, a hundred days to build the foundation, the basic law is nothing more than loose and quiet emptiness, and to different sects, nothing more than the meridians, that is to say, our understanding of Taijiquan is also in this guiding ideology plus the guiding technique, grappling hands, pushing hands, and finally forming a system, which is our above-mentioned comprehensive fitness, health, In the end, the Tai Chi movement is a perceptual movement, which we call the archetypal movement of the dantian inner breath movement - who am I before my parents are born?Originally, I was a gathering in heaven and earth, gathering as the spirit and spirit, gathering as me, and scattering as things, interacting and transforming, without birth and without destruction.
Recognized. Therefore, we must seek the trajectory of life from the phenomenon of birth and death transformed by movement, that is, the spine movement of Taijiquan, which connects the solid essence and transformation of the lower dantian, to the practice of the dantian in the body, and then to the three stages, systematic, and interactive essence and qi of the inner and outer cultivation of the dantian. Carefully control the body to involve the breathing and breathing, involving the main rhythm transmission of the spine, and then from the internal rate (internal rhythm) to the balance, from the balance to the waist and legs, waist hips, the main area of the spine lifting, the big loose and soft outward to the inside, the internal pulsation, the internal rhythm, the internal breathing, and gradually realize the lower, middle and upper body interaction of Taijiquan, the muscles and bones, the spine ascends to reduce the conversion of the waist and legs to the gravitational force of the earth, the alternation of air breathing, and the alternation of qi and blood in the cold and summer,—— Let's just say that practicing Tai Chi with heart, this heart experience, concentration, and throughout the whole body system, is often understood as what gong, this gong and that gong, in fact, is the control of the cycle of sexual life experience This comprehensive effect of control, without this foundation, what gong is the law of life and death, can't jump out, blind abstinence, lack of exercise transformation, such as the whole night of Tai Chi introverted, inner experience - not boxing, but with the rules of Taijiquan, body method, to directly improve their own spirit and spirit in the spine of the ascending sun. One month later, we consolidated the lower dantian, two months of observation, we consolidated to the spine point, three months to the large vertebral point - these are just the experience of the upward orbit of the spine in the observation stage, the essence is just to improve, therefore, the harvest of the stage is to improve the willpower, Life self-control, the self-management ability of cultivation, that's all, we can't mistakenly understand the solid essence as the method of cessation, but the transformation of yin and yang, since it is a transformation, the human physiological cycle and life cycle begin to recover, and many yang diseases will be fundamentally solved in this process. Feudalism, which imprisons human life, has brought about total destruction, and if we only insist on the emancipation of human nature, genetic engineering, and intelligent technology in the West, and completely abandon our moral culture, we will be weak and extinct and reap the consequences.
3. How to do it: The "meaning" of Taijiquan has been raised to the stage of "god".
Suddenly, when the brain is full of essence qi, it is first produced in the upper dantian - the brain, the perineum concentrates the essence, guards the essence, the tail vertebra lifts the essence, the spine collars the essence, the large vertebrae turn into the essence, and the brain turns the essence into qi. At this time, many of our acquired concepts are completely subverted, and the essence is kept to the brain, why, we build a foundation for a hundred days, rely on willpower and Tai Chi to lift, and barely keep the precepts, then, to have a body that is not bad for Vajra, how can willpower be kept?The three-month cycle is already the limit of our willpower to overcome human nature, how to achieve the unity of heaven and man as the Taoist said.
At this time, our cultural reserves began to construct the understanding of the brain's thoughts, and how the brain, as a dantian, exhaled and inhaled the life cycle, broke through to the immortal and immortal concept of the brain's one-thought rhythm. Life is breathing in and out, the heart is beating, and the pulse of the whole body is beating, and Tai Chi is transformed into each other through the innate mechanism and the acquired mechanism of the body cycle. The characteristic of Tai Chi is not the amount of exercise, but the spirit. At this time, as the brain enters the essence qi, and the operation of the essence qi, refining and refining the qi, the first time it comes down, the first is to further lift the middle dantian, thoracic vertebrae, The sternum is adducted, and the spine point becomes a whole, and it has directly descended to the tail vertebrae, and the real tail lube has begun, and the thigh pulls out the muscles, similar to Sun Lutang's frog legs, and the root of the thigh begins to be lifted, and the appearance of muscle masses is the standard.
At this stage, Master Zheng Manqing came to an abrupt end, and when it came to qi to strength, Taijiquan could be loose and soft. However, the practice of qi is still weak, which is the interaction between further solidifying and refining qi and Yishou dantian. As soon as people touch you, your whole body will turn into a turbulent Tai Chi, and as soon as people attack you, this wave will sweep people away. Taijiquan has reached the stage of "Yishu", which is the stage of meditation and keeping one, and it is also a new stage of a thousand miles in a day. At this stage, we still need eighty-five styles, and we also need to integrate and practice the strength of the whole. How to integrate it, this requires constant communication. Bruce Lee is a role model worth learning Xi from. Bruce Lee was the first person to introduce martial arts kung fu to the world, which combined the body language of Western sports, expressed his own cultural language, and played the international language of Chinese martial arts. Neijiaquan is so confident, Taijiquan especially needs to cultivate the spirit and spirit, to see no one, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without fear.
Therefore, when we have practiced to this point, we have at least achieved self-confidence in ourselves, not only in health, but in a hero of the times, and a person's self-confidence in his son, that is, his confidence in national culture, is a criticism of Western culture.
IV. Conclusion
Concentrate on solidifying the essence and transforming the qi, therefore, justWhen you start learning boxing, you must be attentive, attentive, and attentive. Finally, under the framework of reason, use your mind to direct your behavior, so that all behaviors conform to that reason and that rule. This rule is to consolidate the essence and transform the qi, you don't have to worry about it, you don't want to follow the rules, the essence will be dispersed, and you can concentrate on the body, so it is easy for cultural people and intellectuals to concentrate on reading, and it is easy to concentrate on the body.
Step by step, steady and steady, solid and refined for the hard disk, before running the advanced system. Because in the end, it has become your nature, which is called self-nature, and then it is called the heart without the heart, the intention is unintentional, and the intentional or unintentional is the true intention. Finally you don't care, you feel this thing with God, and my nervous system knows how it moves. Yang Qi deficiency is a fundamental understanding, Yang Chengfu developed the eighty-five style, is to work the solid essence, if blindly practice boxing, some boxers of the large amount of exercise and competition activities, and even into the misunderstanding of Yang Qi depletion, it is bound to be Yang exhaustion and decline, exhaustion and death. Coupled with the wrong tonic interference under modern science and technology, ignoring and ignoring traditional Chinese culture, such a lesson is that most of the first batch of Taijiquan people have been Xi practicing for decades today, and it is also a generation of Taijiquan people who have to think deeply about the problem after the popularization of Taijiquan for 40 years after the reform and opening up, so that in today's new era of cultural self-confidence, there is a misunderstanding of Chinese culture marked by Taiji culture. Even the counter-culture of resistance, of course, there are cultural challenges caused by Western culture, but more factors are also due to the fact that our own cultural people are culturally recuperating and rejuvenating and rejuvenating and rejuvenating to be worthy of our ancestors.
When the qi arrives, when it arrives, when it arrives, the whole body is a shelf, and when it arrives at the shelf, the shelf arrives and the boxing gods are there. Boxing is important, (in the initial stages), but it's really not that important. Tai Chi is about balance, and what you want anytime and anywhere is balance. We need to practice this function of maintaining balance. Standing in the middle of the body, the weak collar is strong - the large vertebral points are very important, you can feel that all parts are proceeding slowly and continuously at a uniform speed. When all this becomes your Xi, you will feel that the movement of your feet and hands is running at a continuous and uniform speed, which will reach a higher stage. Divine will is also called perceptual movement, what is divine will?It is not it that directs movement, but it perceives movement. My state of movement, that's it, my mind feels it. So the divine will is behind your movements, in feeling it, in feeling it. The mind, on the other hand, is to direct it before your movements. Practice will not practice strength,The advanced stage of boxing practice is when the divine will perceives the flow of water in the body, (i.e., the essence and energy).
