essence is essence, it is the best part in the field of matter. Essence, qi and spirit are unified in essence, because essence belongs to the material category and is the starting point for the change and development of qi and spirit. Tai Chi 's emphasis on essence has been raised to an unparalleled height. Restoring energy and strength is the foundation of fist. Whether it is practicing qigong, maintaining health, nourishing yin, or strengthening yang, it is full of energy. If you practice boxing without nourishing your essence, you will be empty in the end; if your essence and pulse are erupted, you will first strengthen your strength by three points. The human body has two types of innate essence and acquired essence.
The innate essence is brought from the fetus, which is caused by the vitality of sperm and eggs during the pregnancy process of parents' intercourse. If the parents have strong sperm and pulse, they are in the best time to get pregnant and the best psychological environment, and they are nutritious during pregnancy, so the fetal sperm and pulse are of course good. The innate essence affects a person's life, but the acquired essence cannot be ignored. After
is born, the diet is nutritious, pay attention to the body, psychological training, and the meridians will be gradually adjusted. The kung fu in youth and youth is not as good as in middle age. The important reason is that the essence and pulse are not plump and not familiar; the elderly should not practice excessively, as excessive damage to their lifespan, because the sexual pulse in elderly has weakened. Tai Chi takes nourishing essence first, followed by martial arts, and the essence and meridians are the lifeblood. If you are good at submission, you will be able to seek skills, just like looking for fish from a tree, and you will be in vain in the end.
Qi is in the state between the spirit and the spirit, invisible and invisible, and can flow at will. It is a special way for the essence to express. Ancient Chinese philosophers believed that things are treated and momentum is returned. The movement and changes of Qi are divided into two properties: Yin and Yang, and is opposite and unified .
Yin and Yang of Qi is divided into: exhalation is Yang, inhalation is Yin; rising qi is Yang, sinking qi is Yin; rising yang is still Yang, and Yang is downward is Yin; rising yin is Yang, and Yin is still Yin.
Yin Qi is stored internally to continuously support Yang Qi, which protects the body and makes the surface of the body solid. If yin cannot defeat yang and the yang energy is too strong, it will cause blood flow and forcefully. If heat evil is invaded, the yang energy will become more powerful, it will cause crazy ; if yin cannot defeat yin and the yin energy is too strong, it will cause the qi of the five internal organs to be irregular, resulting in the nine orifices being blocked.
Only when the internal qi and yin and yang are balanced can the tendons and veins be harmonious, the bone marrow is strong, and the blood and qi are smooth. The evil qi cannot invade, the ears and eyes are clear, and the vitality is high. If the yin energy and the yang energy are separated and determined, the human essence will be exhausted. As for the clear and turbid qi that people distinguish between clear and turbid qi, it is nothing more than the yin and yang qi. The clear air is the rising air and the yang air; the turbid air is the sinking air and the yin air. Insert clear and remove turbidity, practice boxing and maintain health.
The spirit is produced by essence and qi, and is the product of matter. It itself belongs to the category of spirit and consciousness. Although essence and energy exist in the five senses and bones, their spirits are reflected outside. The essence is strong and the spirit is flying; the essence is weak and the expression is dim. People who practice boxing will inadvertently show their charm and spirit, relying on their abundant energy.
Therefore, it is said that being superb must start with refinement, and refinement can only practice the spirit; the gods are agile, and luck must come from luck, and the spirits will come from the spirits. Spirit comes from essence and qi, and it also increases essence and qi. Just as spirit comes from matter, the spirit has an active effect on matter. Tai Chi practice should be to improve the spirit and concentrate the mind throughout the whole process. Hands, eyes, body, Dharma, steps, every move and momentum, concentrate and do not slack off.
Shensan is loose and does not help the essence at all. For example, in the lazily tie action, the eyes move at will and do not look around. Not only the eyes are seen, but the hands, body, Dharma, and steps are everywhere in the human body. We must combine the spirit, internal force and external movements, and rely on the active action of the spirit to practice Tai Chi well.
