Tai Chi is a happy boxing. Whenever you practice well, you will have endless fun. Your body will become more flexible, you will walk more easily, you will not feel tired when doing things, and you will speak softly. You will have a good spirit.
Tai Chi is a boxing of wisdom. People often say: “There is a kind of courage called giving up, a kind of strength called gentleness, and a kind of self-esteem called tolerance.” It should be added that there is a kind of balance called Tai Chi. However, learning Tai Chi requires fate. Only those who love traditional Chinese culture can perform it with aura. For example, standing upright, but not holding your head high and chest out, but holding your abdomen and chest in, showing a peaceful and round effect, a natural state. Dropping shoulders and elbows is a manifestation of full confidence and natural relaxation. Bending knees is a vivid expression of the style of being able to bend and stretch, and making steady progress. Every move reflects the profoundness of Chinese culture. Those who believe that “time is money” cannot enjoy the dreamlike magic and beauty of Tai Chi.
The principle of Tai Chi requires the balance of yin and yang. If conditions permit, practice Tai Chi in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and fully absorb the essence of nature. Only when there is a righteous spirit in the heart can the boxing be upright and majestic. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the conditions. Practicing Tai Chi is neither simple nor easy. What is needed is not a quiet environment, but a quiet heart to make the body and mind harmonious and unified.
In fact, we practice Tai Chi, but we cultivate our mind. Tai Chi’s moves seem slow, but in fact they are steady and steady. Tai Chi is not as sharp as a swift and decisive move, but only as leisurely as flowing clouds and water. In fact, the edge is not shown, and the real kung fu is restrained. The seemingly casual stretch is just neither hot nor cold, and never shows toughness.
Tai Chi is not only about external kung fu, but also about the cultivation of mind. The whole body is empty, invisible and formless. If you don’t cultivate your mind, how can you achieve such a state? Don’t seek to kill the enemy with one sword, don’t seek to defeat the enemy with one move, stay away from the pursuit of fame and fortune, don’t fight for victory or defeat, and be the best in the world. This state of mind is the original intention of Tai Chi.
