For a long time, many people have paid little attention to the practice of teachers practicing Tai Ji Chuan tradition in Tonghui School and letting children practice boxing in summer camps when they have the opportunity, and they are not very clear about the reasons. At most, I just think it's suitable, and I don't know what's good about it. If you know that "keeping fit" is only a "side effect" of practicing boxing, will you think more? Let me start with two questions: First, why does China say that "the poor are rich in weapons"? Second, even laymen know that the martial arts in the world are "Shaolin at home and Wudang at home", which seems to be "fighting and killing". Why are the two biggest "famous" monks? Becoming a monk is the most important thing. ! The first question will arouse suspicion. In our impression, since ancient times, "literati" are not all officials? Are all soldiers "louts"? Then, let's ask again, what was the "literati" like before becoming an official? Since the establishment of the imperial examination system in China, it has provided a rare and relatively fair opportunity for many ordinary people to change their destiny. Before that, there were only two ways for you to enter the elite: either, the elite is your father and inherited by blood; Or, you are seen by an elite, serve it, and then seize the opportunity to do a part-time job. I didn't choose the first road by myself, and the second road is due to so many famous families in history, such as the famous "Four Childes of the Warring States", and each family has thousands of customers! But the probability of this method is too low, so there is the idiom "stand out from the crowd" Or because of various opportunities, fewer people overthrew the whole existing order, and they became "elites" directly, and then passed on from generation to generation, that is, changing the dynasty. Don't count on this ordinary person! Therefore, the biggest beneficiaries of offering courses are ordinary people, and everyone wants to change their own-even the fate of their families! People in China are still the same today. How many people do you think want to pass the college entrance examination? Helpless. The "rich" is not the case. They are already at the top of the social class. They don't need to change their fate in this clumsy and inefficient way ("ten years of cold window, fame in one fell swoop", the efficiency is really not high). They are more concerned about how to inherit the family business and how to make "the rich are not rich and the strong are stronger". Of course, it doesn't mean that "rich people" don't study. They are just too lazy to read "death" books according to the "rules of the game". At the same time, the "rich" also clearly know that it is not enough to gain the wisdom of rational use of wealth and effective control of the huge resources in their hands! Such a person should have a more perfect personality, a richer spiritual level, stronger emotional control, a sharper reaction and a more efficient way of thinking! There are many ways to achieve these goals, and the most effective one is martial arts! Please note that the martial arts mentioned here are not "martial arts" that can be seen everywhere to engage in one or two beautiful routines, but "martial arts"! This brings us to the second question. If "martial arts" is simply understood as "martial arts", monks are "out of breath". Without long-term possession, they have no motivation to fight at all. On the contrary, their martial arts attainments are the highest. Why? First, body, mind and spirit are integrated and interact. According to western teaching, physiology and psychology are interrelated, which is a well-known truth. To put it simply, the brain, the material basis of human thinking, needs oxygen supply, blood supply and nutrition to work well; Nerve cells in the nervous system need appropriate multiple stimuli to develop well. In addition to a reasonable diet, these need to be achieved through reasonable exercise. On the other hand, healthy people are less likely to suffer from mental illness. Note that "good health" here should not be misunderstood as "muscular big man"! People with psychological problems are often accompanied by various physical diseases. The most well-known example of China people is "Daiyu" in A Dream of Red Mansions. She was sickly from childhood, "nervous" all her life, and finally died of lung disease, which destroyed her body and mind! Secondly, the level of "spirituality" refers to "enlightenment" in China tradition and "enlightenment" in Buddhism. Generally speaking, we say that a person has "savvy" and "full of aura", and a child has "aura", which is a manifestation of unwillingness and inferiority on the spiritual level. In ancient times, learning books (calligraphy), Zen and martial arts was undoubtedly one of the most efficient practices! Teacher nan huaijin once said that no matter which course you want to learn Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it's all for nothing if you can't pass it! Only by adjusting your body and then "pulse" can you get a greater spiritual experience! You can imagine the human body as an energy field (this has been scientifically confirmed), and "opening the pulse" can resonate with this big energy field between heaven and earth (just like the radio is tuned to the right frequency). What a wonderful experience! In fact, this is the realm of "harmony between man and nature" in China culture. However, the boxing method requires "inhaling by shape" and "not exerting force by intention", which is completely in line with the second Taoist practice of "refining qi, refining qi to restore spirit, and refining spirit to restore emptiness"! Third, there is a saying that "there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts." What does this mean? A man full of big talk can justify himself as long as he is a little clever. There's nothing you can do about him. He won't pass the exam anyway. It is the so-called "talking about the wrong country"! There is a saying in the Wulin that "you will know after a walk", and it is useless for you to brag about it. "Rich people" need to do practical things with their resources. There is a Confucian saying that "think carefully, distinguish right from wrong, and stick to the end". If you get the experience and ability you need to do things on the spot, it is not impossible, but the price is too high! Not worth it (many business concepts are enough to prove this point, such as "brand war only has one chance!" " "One failure is enough to ruin a lifetime of success!" I won't go into details. In the process of martial arts, there are loopholes in your thoughts and your actions. You will suffer. It is really a low-cost and efficient method to promote your review and improve your way of thinking! Ordinary "literati", if they don't understand this, even if they get some resources because of various opportunities, it is difficult to pass them on, even in their own generation! This can also explain that there are many "officials" in history, but there are very few "aristocratic families" who carry on the family line for more than three generations. Problems such as "short-lived private enterprises" and "rich second generation" can also be used as circumstantial evidence. On this point, Zhu Gekongming has an incisive explanation, "Confucianism is different from villains and gentlemen. A gentleman's Confucianism is loyal to the monarch and patriotism, keeps good and evil, makes the best use of it, and leaves a name for future generations. -if the husband is a scholar of villains, he only cares about carving insects, specializing in calligraphy, writing youth and being poor; Although the pen has a thousand words, there is really nothing to do in the chest. For example, Yang Xiong was famous for his articles, but he bowed to death in the cabinet. This is the so-called Confucianism of villains. Although there are thousands of words every day, why take them! " "There is a mastermind to cover the country and safeguard national security. Non-discussion, false name deception: no one can sit down and talk; It's no use improvising. -Really laugh for the world! " Many famous "literati" in history are also "both civil and military"! Such as Wang Yangming, a master of Confucianism, Li Bai, a poet, and Xin Qiji, a calligrapher. Finally, when it comes to education, education has a word "teaching without words". I mentioned this word in training, and many students think it is a high level! Think about it, how high is "the effect of enlightenment can be achieved without talking"! In fact, everyone is doing it every day without knowing it! Every child's personality, mood and way of thinking are influenced by people, things and things around him (especially parents). Even if you don't say a word, or even ignore him, your mood, mental state, attitude towards others, and the way you look at and deal with problems will be invisibly passed on to your children! It has an impact on the development of children! So through practicing martial arts, adjust the teacher's energy field, spirit, spirit, and look at the problem more intelligently. If children can stay in this environment for a long time, it is difficult to think bad. As the saying goes, "I will be with whatever I want to be." Although we only get in touch with children once a week, after a long period of adaptation, many parents do find that there are more children. Therefore, educators who educate people should especially practice martial arts! In fact, many educators have already done this, and ordinary people just don't pay attention to it! Note: 1, the "rich" mentioned above is not only "rich", but "poor" is not necessarily "poor". I hope readers can understand the difference. 2. "Wushu" should not be practiced indiscriminately, such as Tai Ji Chuan. Frankly speaking, most of what you see in the park may be showy, and at best it's just "gymnastics". Martial arts must have a "master", otherwise it can only be "proactive and practical". About some nouns mentioned in the article, such as "spirit" and "wisdom", I made a loose extension of your simple understanding, because I had to do it, so I had to do it. If you really want to make it clear, I'm afraid writing 1000 words is not enough! Regarding "martial arts entering the Tao", my teacher, Mr. Qingyi, is a Taoist figure. He has an article that is clearer than me. The following is an excerpt from the reader: Wudang Neijia Boxing Essentials 1: Use the text to carry the Tao, and use the martial arts to teach the Tao! Those who are good at words and deeds must be prepared by military means-Zhang Qingyi's words and deeds are integrated in China's cultural tradition. The ""in the title means that people who really understand Wen must know Wu. Otherwise, it is empty articles and corrupt scholars, not real articles. Taoist thought is exquisite and profound, and the true "Tao" is the guide of life and society. The real Taoist thinking is a wonderful binary and ternary way of thinking. If you have two more dimensions in thought and behavior than ordinary monists, you can know how well you think and do things, and your freedom is greatly improved. So many people want to learn Tao, but few can succeed. In order to know if you are really a Taoist, you must practice martial arts. This is the tradition of Taoist culture for thousands of years-"using martial arts to enter the Tao", taking martial arts as a stepping stone and touchstone to enter the Tao. Obviously, those who refuse to practice, those who can't learn, can't learn profound Taoist thoughts. There are other ways to "enter the Tao", such as calligraphy, painting, behavior and even sleep. However, I found that learning martial arts is the simplest, fastest and most difficult to go astray. A scholar is based on martial arts. Taiji Buddhism is the foundation of enlightenment! Then, to learn Taoism and truly understand Taoist culture, there is one thing that cannot be bypassed: martial arts. The martial arts here are not simple martial arts, but martial arts. This kind of thing seems to have been lost in modern China. At present, the cultural foundation of China Wushu is still in Japan. In the study of Taoism, "martial arts" is very important, but it will not be mentioned much, because it is the basis of learning Taoism. Usually we can't see it, just like a beautiful house. We can't see its foundation, only its appearance. But in all buildings, the most important thing is obviously the "foundation". Taoism has always said: "force into the Tao." Taoist figures use martial arts to complete the opportunity to enter, understand and understand Taoism. Basically, if you don't know the true meaning of Wushu, you won't practice Daoism in your body and embody it in your daily life practice, but call yourself an "expert" of "Daoism Master". Basically, you can regard him as an academic liar, not a "real licensed Taoist". This standard was set by Laozi, and it is "cultivate one's morality, and its virtue is true." The cultivation level of "Tao" must be embodied in people, not in words. Buddhists laugh at some monks who can only talk but not do, calling them "mantra" and "talking about monks" People who like Taoism should be "oral Taoism". The so-called "hypocritical Taoism" is just a bluff. But at present, there are too many such people, and few really know the Tao. Of course, you can't think a person is a Taoist just because he has martial arts. A true "Tao"-a person who really understands Tao must be both civil and military. It is not that both of them know a little, but that they are both civil and military, and they can basically reach the realm that ordinary people can't reach. Learning literature can write beautiful articles, and learning martial arts is by no means comparable to a group of mediocre people who practice martial arts. This is the real "Taoism". Why is this happening? Because, the core of Taoist learning is "interaction and mutual love, yin and yang complement each other", and civil and military are one yin and one yang. Those who write essays should be equipped with weapons, and those who learn martial arts should be equipped with essays. Both are indispensable. Confucius also deeply understood this truth. He said: "quality is better than literature, literature is better than quality, and history is like this. Gentle, then a gentleman. " The meaning of "history" is vain and flashy. If you can read, you are basically a fool and can't be a real "gentleman". This means that the "quality" and "culture" of the body should develop harmoniously and complement each other. But later generations called the stupidity of a bookworm "gentleness", which has long lost its original meaning. This kind of person can only be called "Shi Wenbin" and is a useless idiot. ..... What does the Taoist practice mean by "entering the Tao by force"? It has six purposes. The significance of the first level: the promotion of human mental body depends on the body. If you are in poor health, your brain will not be good. The brain is not good, and the so-called knowledge culture is empty. It is equivalent to running a state-of-the-art software and upgrading your computer hardware. Practicing martial arts is the best way to keep healthy. It is more suitable and effective than all other sports. Second: the body is not just the body, but the unity of spirit and spirit. Only martial arts at home is the best way to practice spirit and refine spirit. Most other sports are muscle exercises, which are not very helpful for "entering the Tao". Thirdly, the integration of Yin and Yang in Taoism is a difficult concept to understand and cannot be explained by words. In Taoist martial arts, the principle of "the unity of Yin and Yang" is reflected everywhere. Only when you realize this truth after practicing martial arts can you really understand and apply it to your daily life and work. Fourthly, Taoism's "inaction" is a concept that people can't understand and describe in words, and it is even more difficult to apply it in daily life. However, once we realize the realm and strength of "no move" in Neijia Boxing and can use "no move to win by move", we can further understand the advanced life and social truth of "governing by doing nothing". Fifth, it is the simplest and quickest way to experience and learn the existence of Tao through martial arts. Other methods are slow to take effect and will also lead to adverse effects. The way of social experience and the specific way of doing things could have been "enlightened" and "concrete", but the effect was extremely slow, which might easily bring unbearable consequences. Learning martial arts will not be like this. You can get down at most, and it will be easy to get up again. And can be experienced repeatedly. Sixth: Tao is truth, and Tao is to get rid of all false, redundant and self-righteous things. It is the most difficult to "practice Tao" with martial arts. What is true is true, and what is false is false. Kung fu is good, you don't have to fight, just look at your gestures. No one can fool you. If you still want to deceive yourself, but you are not convinced, find someone to play with. There's nothing to say if you lose, right? This is especially important for "people". People like to lie to themselves most, especially literati, who always feel that they are the greatest, and "others" will never understand themselves. Therefore, people who play literature are often the most imaginary, unreliable and self-expanding. Only by practicing martial arts can such people have a little self-knowledge. Therefore, martial arts is one of the basic skills of Taoist cultivation. People who can't practice Taoist martial arts well are basically out of touch with the real "Tao." You can't even learn the simplest introduction to monasticism. Do you want to experience a more advanced "lifestyle and society"? I think it will be difficult. In fact, Buddhism is the same, which is called "Zen by force". Therefore, as a test yardstick, it is obviously impossible for people who can't learn martial arts not to learn Taoist knowledge. It is better to learn Confucianism and be a Confucian scholar. But let's not talk about the ideal of "practice avenue". It is impossible to know more about Taoism, but only know some basic principles. If such people want to appear wise in real life and suffer less, they need to learn a basic truth: believe in the profoundness of Taoism and the teachings of their ancestors, but don't judge Taoism, don't be self-righteous, point fingers at what they don't understand, and talk nonsense. Just follow the basic principles of Taoism and that's all! "My side.
