There are different opinions about the origin of Guan Tai Chi Zhuan. Although many concerned people have devoted themselves to research and textual research, it is still impossible to do so today. Influenced by Jin Yong's novels, it is generally acknowledged and circulated that wudang zhang sanfeng is the founder of Tai Ji Chuan. Zhang Sanfeng did exist in history, but the name Taiji Chuan first appeared in the early Qing Dynasty. The oldest Tai Ji Chuan, Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan, was taken from the cannon boxing in "Keeping Filial Piety and Comfort" written by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese soldier in the Ming Dynasty. (According to official records, Zhang Sanfeng was from the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang was from the late Ming Dynasty, with a difference of more than 200 years). Basically, Wushu routines have been integrated, evolved and tried for a long time before they have today's structure, and they are by no means created by one person. The reliable statement about Taiji Zhuan was handed down by Chen who lived in Changyang Village (commonly known as Chenjiagou) in wen county, Henan Province in the late Ming Dynasty (about 1644 BC). In the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1374), the Chen family left Dahuaishu Village in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, and after a long period of time, they moved to Changyang Village, during which the Chen family grew into a big family, and Changyang Village was renamed Chenjiagou. When Chen moved to Henan before and after, bandits there made a riot. In order to repel thieves and protect their own safety, Chen's children were diligent in martial arts. Taiji was introduced into Chenjiagou in the following three ways: a. Chen Xin (BC 1849~ 1929), the tenth descendant of Chenjiagou, was created by Chen Bu, the ancestor of Chen, and pointed out in the preface of his book "Illustration of Chen Taiji" that the ancestor's "Step Skill" operated the whole body by opening and closing Yin and Yang, and passed it on to future generations as a digestive diet. "Chen Bu and Chen Xin, separated by 600 years, cannot prove that Chen Xin's statement is correct. But Chen's ancestral home is Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. Since ancient times, Tai Ji Chuan's "Long Boxing" and "Xi Zhong Boxing" have been circulated in this area. B Wang Zongyue and others introduced Tai Ji Chuan to Chenjiagou during the Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1736~ 1795). This is based on Wang Zongyue's "Classic of Taiji Biography", which is similar to the beater song handed down by Chen Jiagou. In addition, Wang Zongyue's Spring and Autumn Knife Residual Spectrum is similar in content to Chenjiagou's Spring and Autumn Knife Residual Spectrum handed down from generation to generation. In the preface of Wang Zongyue's book Yin Fu Gun Spectrum, it is also pointed out that he lived in Luoyang, Henan (where Chenjiagou is located) around the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong (AD 1790), so some people think that Wang Zongyue introduced Taiji to Chenjiagou. According to textual research, when Wang Zongyue lived in Chenjiagou, the 14th generation patriarch of Chen was Chen Changxing (177 1~ 1853). Prior to this, Chen Jiagou's boxing and martial arts had been written and passed down from generation to generation. So Wang Zongyue may have influenced the martial arts of Chenjiagou, but he was not the first person to introduce martial arts into Chenjiagou. Another possibility is that Wang Zongyue is interested in martial arts and went to Chenjiagou to learn from his teacher. C. Chen Chenjiagou, a descendant of the ninth generation, invented the family's theory of opening and closing of Yin and Yang, and even added Qi Jiguang's fist warp-knitted gloves. Its unique power of winding silk has formed an ingenious Tai Ji Chuan, which teaches future generations to keep fit and resist aggression. In the book Chen Jiacheng, which describes the biographies of Chen's ancestors, it is recorded: "Chen Mingsheng was born in Yao, while Qing was born in Wu Yao, and he was good at Tai Chi biography. The book also includes the long and short sentences left by Chen: "Alas! Perseverance, perseverance, swept away the decline and escaped several times. Thanks to the gift, it was in vain! Up to now, a volume of Huang Tingjing has been with me. When I'm bored, I make a fist. When busy, I will plow the fields and teach several disciples and grandchildren. It is convenient for me to become a tiger. In addition, there is even a book that says, "Chen is a famous person in Shandong, who has swept away more than 1,000 bandits, and is the founder of Chen katar's gun and a natural hero. He made great contributions in the battle, which can be tested. "The record. Among the above three possibilities, Chen Wangting of Chenjiagou has the highest reliability. After nearly a hundred years' development, Chen Tai Ji Chuan has developed into six schools in Tai Ji Chuan: Chen Tai Ji Chuan, Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan, Wu Tai Ji Chuan, Wu Tai Ji Chuan, Sun Tai Taijiquan and Zhaobao Taijiquan. Chen Tai Ji Chuan Tai Ji Chuan is one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan. Originally from Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan. Chen, Qi Zuting. I practiced martial arts since I was a child and passed on my ancestral martial arts. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as a "village guard" in Wenxian County. He once "insisted on sharpness and swept away the atmosphere." After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in his hometown. He likes fishing, sightseeing, ploughing when he is busy, and "clenching fists" when he is free. He invented the boxing, which is now called the old boxing handed down by Chen Taiji. This boxing is based on Chen's ancestral home in Hongdong, Shanxi Province, participating in the opening and closing of Yin and Yang, absorbing and drawing lessons from Qi Jiguang's "Thirty-two Styles of Boxing Classics" as the theoretical basis, and combining the first and second ways of Huangting Classics to guide breathing. Chen Tai Ji Chuan has obvious movement characteristics, that is, emotional movement inside and spiral winding movement outside. It is emphasized that under the guidance of consciousness, the head holds its breath and the limbs are elongated, and the upper limbs are rotated by rotating the waist and spine, so that the limbs are wrapped in silk and the internal and external integration is promoted. Chen Tai Ji Chuan has the distinction of rigidity and softness. Generally speaking, the end of action is rigidity and softness, and the process is softness. In the interdependence and mutual transformation of contradictions such as speed, rigidity, opening and closing, straightness, etc., the whole set of movements are continuously connected and achieved in one go. Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan. Born in Yongnian County, Hebei Province, Yang Fukui. Yang Fukui, the word Lu Chan. During the Daoguang period, he studied under Chen Changxing and Chen Taiji, and became the first physical disciple of Chen Style Boxing. After Yang Dechuan, he went to Beijing to teach Tai Ji Chuan around 1850. In order to meet the health care needs of dignitaries and frail old people in Qing Dynasty, he expanded his study scope, deleted the vigorous, jumping and difficult movements in the old Chen style boxing, and created Yang style Tai Ji Chuan. Later, his son Yang Jianhou and his grandson Yang Chengfu (1883~ 1936) improved it and formed the present Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan routine. Yang Tai Ji Chuan's posture is simple, flexible, slow and even. Yang Chengfu summed up the training methods of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan into ten essentials, namely: strengthening the mind, holding out the chest and pulling out the back, loosening the waist, separating the virtual from the real, sinking the shoulders and dropping the elbows, not using hard intentions, following up and down, combining inside and outside, constantly connecting, and seeking quietness while moving. Wu Tai Ji Chuan Wu Tai Ji Chuan is one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan. Wu Yuxiang, a native of Yongnian County, Hebei Province (18 12~ 1880). Wu Yuxiang has been practicing martial arts since childhood. He learned Chen's Old Taiji Biography from Yang Luchan in about 1850. 1852 passed by Zhaobao Town, Huaiqing Prefecture, Henan Province, and learned about Chen's new Taiji biography from Chen Qingping. After that, he studied the boxing theory and figured out the boxing frame, which was very enlightening and created the martial arts Tai Ji Chuan. This fist has a compact posture, emphasizing that the left and right hands are in charge of half of the body, the hands are not over the shoulders, the movements are gentle and slow, the footwork is small and flexible, and the changes of excess and deficiency and the latent movement of internal qi are emphasized. Tai Ji Chuan's postures mainly include chest pulling, crotch wrapping, hair protection, top lifting, crotch hanging, elbow sinking and ending. Pay attention to the starting (starting), lifting (the previous action link and the next action link), opening and closing of the action, and pay attention to "there must be folding when reciprocating, and there must be conversion when advancing and retreating". Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan is one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan. Founded in Wu, Daxing County, Hebei Province (1870~ 1942). His father Quanyou (1834~ 1902) is Manchu. At first, he learned Yang-style big boxing with Yang Lu Zen, and later learned Yang-style small boxing with his second son Hou Wei, who was famous for his gentleness. From Han to Wu, also known as Ai Shen. He inherited his family studies and was good at Tai Ji Chuan. 192 1 year, when Wu was hired as a teacher of Beijing Institute of Physical Education, he removed the strength, jumping and repetitive movements in Little Tai Ji Chuan, highlighted the characteristics of gentle, slow, round and continuous movements, and created Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan. The basic techniques of this boxing include: relaxing the neck with the ceiling, pulling the back with the chest, turning the wrist and arm, stretching the fingers and protruding the palm, bending over to close the hips, and kneeling on the legs. When required to do lunge, both toes are facing forward, and the top of the head and heel form a diagonal line. When doing "horse stance just look" or "horse stance just look", the left pile, right column or right column are required to be left piles, that is, the center of gravity is biased towards the attack direction. When turning and changing direction, whether turning 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, the whole foot grinding method is used. Sun-style Tai Ji Chuan-style Tai Ji Chuan is a school in Tai Ji Chuan, which originated from Sunlutang, Wanxian County, Hebei Province (1862- 1932). After Sun Lutang failed to learn the martial arts Tai Ji Chuan from Hao Weizhen in the early years of the Republic of China, on the basis of the martial arts Tai Ji Chuan, he absorbed the footwork characteristics of Xingyi Boxing and the agile posture characteristics of Bagua Palm twisting, and integrated them into these two boxing methods. This kind of boxing is small and light, with high steps, soft and slow movements and many changes in the direction of movements. Because this kind of boxing is characterized by two feet advancing and retreating, it is also called "walking Tai Chi". This boxing is also called "Opening and Closing Taiji Chuan" because it takes opening and closing hands (opening and closing hands) as the basic method of action transformation and connection. Taiji Biography, Zhaobao and Taiji Biography are the early descendants of Chen Qingping (1795~ 1868). There are at least two theories about Chen Qingping's knowledge: one is that he studied under Zhang Yan and traced his skills back to Zhang Sanfeng (see Du Fu's Authentic Taiji Biography); One theory is that he studied under Chen Youben and traced it back to his technical Chen (see Tai Ji Chuan of Gu). Therefore, some people call Zhao Bao's Taiji Biography a stall of Chen's Taiji Biography. These two theories of origin need further study. What is certain, however, is that this fist came from Chen Qingping during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Because the rulers of the Qing Dynasty banned folk martial arts, and the descendants of Tai Ji Chuan in Zhaobao Town all held the "ten don't preach" commandment, so Zhaobao Tai Ji Chuan can be said to be the most mysterious sect in Tai Ji Chuan. Among the schools of Tai Ji Chuan, Wu Tai Ji Chuan and Sun Shi Tai Ji Chuan were both developed from Zhaobao Tai Ji Chuan. There are 72 kinds of boxing stands in Tai Ji Chuan, all of which are vertical circles, which is the core and feature of this kind of boxing. The whole boxing ring is made up of straight circles and reverse circles, just like spring silkworms keep spinning. Personally, I think there are: hand circle, elbow circle, chest and abdomen circle, arm circle and hip circle. The abdomen turns, which is a circular Tai Chi. The drill of boxing frame follows the rules of "three straights", "four straights", "six rivers" and "four tips". "Three straightness" means straight head, straight body and straight calf; "Four Shun" means smooth legs, feet, hands and posture; "Six in One" refers to the combination of hands and feet, arms and hips, elbows and knees. This is the external triad, and the internal triad is the combination of heart and mind, qi and strength, tendons and bones. "Four points" means that the teeth are bone points, the tongue is flesh points, the hair is blood points, and the pores are air points. Tai Ji Chuan, a treasure hunter, is light, flexible and generous. During the drill, the pace is round and interlocking, and there is no obvious action. The routine runs through, combining rigidity with softness. After mastering the routine, gradually turn around, from simple to complex, improve skills and difficulty. When you practice, you just practice it several times. Once started, others can see, see, but can't find the head and tail. Zhao Bao and Tai Ji Chuan are good at taking, dropping, throwing, hitting and relying on various techniques, and all kinds of grasping and counter-grasping movements are integrated into the routine, which makes their offensive and defensive characteristics very prominent. During massage, two people stand and push hands, stretching, stepping, squeezing, pressing and practicing picking, arranging, elbowing, leaning and pushing. Note: In order to adapt to the development of Wushu competitions at home and abroad, China Wushu Research Institute organized domestic Wushu experts, famous coaches and excellent athletes to compile and create the 42-style Tai Ji Chuan competition routine at 1989, which included the representative movements of different schools in Tai Ji Chuan and showed the different styles and technical characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan.

One: The Origin and Development of Tai Ji Chuan The name of Tai Ji Chuan began in the literature written by Wang Zongyue about 1 17 BC, and sixty years after the Qing Dynasty Qianlong (Yi Mao), the famous Tai Ji Chuan theory should also be written around it based on the yin symbol and gun spectrum set by Wang Zongyue. There was no record of Tai Ji Chuan in this theory before, and Tai Ji Chuan was formed at this time, and there was no history to study before that. Some said that Tai Ji Chuan came from Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period, some said that he was Xu Xuanping in the Tang Dynasty, and some said that Li Daozi in the Tang Dynasty was called congenital boxing and long boxing. Or the Han Dynasty, founded in the Six Dynasties, is called heaven, and the Ming Dynasty is also called yin, which is called the law of the day after tomorrow. Of course, there are also the most legendary boxing techniques obtained by Zhang Sanfeng's Yuan Di at Night, and these legends can't be verified. Wang Zongyue, a native of Shanxi, was an anti-Qing scholar. Mr. Zong Yue traveled around the world and made friends with people with lofty ideals. He spread his skills to Chen Tongzhou in Wenzhou, Zhang Songxi in Haiyan, Ye Jimei in Siming, Henan, and Chen clan in Chenjiagou, Huaiqing, Henan. Chenjiagou only passed the clan Taiji biography, not the physical surname; Chen Chuanzhi14th century was divided into two types: old and new. The new one was founded by Chen Youben. Later, it was called Zhaobao School in Chen Qingping, and the old one was succeeded by Chen Changxing. Chen Changxing (177 1- 1853) not only inherited his son Geng Yun and his people, but also inherited his surname Yang Luchan (1799- 1872). Yang Luchan taught boxing in Beijing, and later worked as a martial arts coach in Ji Shen military camp, rearranging the original teaching materials, and then waiting for his third son. 1839- 19 17) was modified into a middle shelf, which was repeatedly modified by his third son (1883- 1936), so it was finally designated as a Yang-style big shelf to distinguish it from his uncle Yang Banhou (/kloc) Wu Heqing (word Yuxiang 18 12- 1880), a prominent family in Yongnian, studied the old shelf with Yang Lu Zen and later learned the new shelf with Chen Qingping, thus creating the biography of Wu Taiji. Li Yishe (1832- 1892) got the spread of martial arts and founded the Li School. The Biography of Li Pai by Hao Weizhen (1849- 1920) created the Biography of Taiji by Hao. Sun Lutang (186 1- 1932), a famous gossip, got the biography of the Hao family and created his own Tai Ji Chuan. In addition, the flag bearer Quan You (1834- 1902) gained a skill in Yang Luchan and his sub-classes, and his later successor Wu (1870- 1942) was called the biography of Wu Taiji. Yang Chengfu moved Tai Ji Chuan from the north to the south. His famous disciples are Dong Yingjie, Chu Guiting, Chen Weiming and Lv Dianchen. Among them, Dong Yingjie and Yang Zhenming (Shouzhong), son of Cheng Fu, taught boxing in China and Hong Kong. Chen Weiming founded Zhirou Boxing Club in Suzhou and has been to Zhubei, Taiwan. Lv Dianchen was the last disciple of Chengfu, who passed on, Ma Deyun, Xiao Jincheng, Wang (the teacher of our club) and others.

Among them is Xiao Jincheng.

Tai Ji Chuan is a family-run boxing in China Wushu. It integrates the theory of yin and yang and five elements with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine into Wushu, and pays attention to looseness and roundness in boxing. Practitioners, TCM theory and some modern western doctors all believe that practicing Tai Ji Chuan is helpful to health and longevity. According to the textual research of famous modern martial arts historians Xu Zhen and Tang Hao, the modern popular Tai Ji Chuan should be various branches of "Chenjiagou Changquan" created by Chen, and now it is called "Chen Tai Ji Chuan". According to the textual research of Yang, the elder of Taiji Biography, Taiji originated from Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain in Ming Dynasty. 192 1 year, Xu Yusheng's "taiji biography map" said that Zhang Sanfeng was a human being, and in the Yuan Dynasty, he passed boxing to Wang Zongyue (Yue) in Shaanxi. Wang Zongyue (I wonder how many years later? ) spread to Jiang Fa, Henan Province, and from Jiang Fa to Chenjiagou to Chen Changxing, so many descendants of Tai Ji Chuan, Yang Tai believe that the real Tai Ji Chuan is a combination of boxing handed down by Jiang Fa and boxing handed down by Chen Jia. Jin Yong's novel "Eternal Dragon Slayer" and the film "Tai San Feng" all use this theory to start the story. Contemporary people mainly practice the biography of Yang Taj Mahal, with gentle and elegant movements, which have the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life. Yang Taiji originated from Chenjiagou Boxing in Chen Changxing (including Changquan Boxing, Hongquan Boxing and Gun Hammer), and based on this, she developed the story of "Yang Luchan stealing boxing". The TV "Tai Chi Master" also describes the process of Yang Lu's Zen learning boxing. At present, there are generally twenty-four types of Tai Ji Chuan circulating in China (1984 China invented the simplified Tai Ji Chuan to promote sports), forty-two types of Tai Ji Chuan, Tai Chi tuishou and so on. Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to attacking the enemy from behind, observing and understanding the opponent (listening attentively), guiding rather than resisting the opponent's strength (smoothing strength), changing his career to make the opponent's attack fail, exposing his weakness at the same time, and then retaliating with his own strength and strength. During the reign of Yuan Shikai in the early years of the Republic of China (1912-1916), Wu and Yang Shaohou were descendants and founded the Peiping Sports Research Association in 19 14. During this period, Xu Yusheng and Song Shuming had a very friendly relationship. According to the biography of Taiji in the first edition of 192 1, Song Shuming, who once worked for Yuan, claimed to own the biography of Taiji by his distant ancestor. Say (yuan tomorrow morning? ) Zhang Sanfeng biography (Song? ) Zhang Songxi and Zhang Cuishan, then Song Fuqiao Yuan, the name is thirteen. It is said that the thirty-seven potential of Taiji was handed down by Xu Xuanping, a Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty. ), named III VII. Li Daozi's innate boxing in the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Jiu Tian in the Six Dynasties and Tian Fa after Yin Henry in the Ming Dynasty are all regarded as Tai Ji Chuan (? )。 And, Yu Lianzhou, Yu, Zhang Songxi, Yin, Mo Gusheng and other figures in different periods * * * together, evolved into Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice (? )。 The material that constitutes Jin Yong's novels. (1884-1989) Wu's apprentice said that Song Shuming and Yang Shaohou had a competition. )。 Wu Tunan's Study of Tai Ji Chuan said that Zhang Sanfeng's master was a real dragon named Jia Desheng. Later generations also recorded Wu's statement, which became more and more amazing. Historical research shows that Jiang Fa is an unconfirmed figure (possibly a fictional figure). According to legend, he was Emperor Wanli of Ming Dynasty, servant of Chen, disciple of Wang Zongyue and teacher of Chen Changxing. Chen Changxing studied ancestral Changquan in Chenjiagou. Yang Lvchan's descendants said that Yang Lvchan had followed Jiang Faxi's skill and got the score of Taiji Zhuan. Wang Zongyue is also an unconfirmed figure. Chen Changxing's disciple Wu Yuxiang (Master Yang Lvchan) claimed to have Wang Zongyue's "On Tai Ji Chuan", which made it a story of no fist before argument. The thirteen potentials of Taiji are: push, step, squeeze, press, pick, swing, lean, advance, retreat, care, hope and decide. Four meanings: push, shoe, squeeze and press. Four corners: pick, pull, elbow and lean. Five elements: advance, retreat, care, hope and determination. The songs of thugs must be carefully pressed, and it is difficult to follow people up and down; Let him hit me with great strength, affecting four or two thousand pounds; If the introduction fails, it will come out, and the adhesive connection will not fall off.

The study also reduced pain, tension and anxiety. Other studies have shown that it is beneficial to improve people with normal cardiovascular and respiratory functions, as well as those who recover after coronary artery surgery. It also helps to avoid heart failure, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. In addition, Tai Ji Chuan can alleviate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescents. Tai Ji Chuan's soothing movements burn more calories than surfing and approaching skiing. Tai Ji Chuan's function of improving the immune system is very remarkable, which has always been manifested as the overall decline in the incidence of anxiety, depression and emotional anxiety (see the research cited below). An experimental study has released new evidence that Tai Ji Chuan and related Qigong can help reduce diabetes. [1] The latest research proves that Tai Ji Chuan's exercises can strengthen the immune system and help the elderly resist herpes zoster. The research results, led by Dr. michael owen of UCLA, were published in the April issue of Journal of American Geriatrics Association.
