Yang's Tai Chi is like a shining pearl among the treasures of Chinese martial arts. Its skills combine the characteristics of hardness and softness, and alternating rhythms, and contain rich cultural heritage and the effects of strengthening the body. Below, I will reveal its fascinatingness one by one for you.
History origin
The origin of Yang's Tai Chi Changquan can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Yang Luchan went to Chenjiagou three times and studied the essence of Chen-style Tai Chi in depth. Subsequently, his son Yang Jianhou and grandson Yang Chengfu modified and improved it, and finally formed the now widely circulated Yang Tai Chi Longquan. This martial arts genre has gathered the hard work and wisdom of generations. After years of baptism, it has been continuously passed on and evolved, and has become a shining pearl in the traditional martial arts culture of the Chinese nation.
It is not only the inheritance of martial arts and techniques, but also an important manifestation of our country's traditional culture, and contains the Chinese people's deep understanding of nature and body and philosophical concepts. To this day, many martial arts enthusiasts still have a special liking for it and are unremittingly pursuing the mystery.
Action Features
The moves of Yang's long fist are both relaxed and grand, and the movements are light and steady. Each action contains a unique charm, as if the clouds roll and unfold, coherent and natural. When practicing moves such as "Lang Bird Tail" and "Cloud Hand", all parts of the body need to work closely together. The rotation of the arms, the movement of the steps, and the concentration of the eyes, the three need to achieve perfect harmony.
Through the practice of these movements, practitioners can clearly feel that their body coordination and flexibility are gradually increasing. The beginning and end of each action are like a spiritual purification, allowing people to deeply appreciate the inner charm of Tai Chi in the alternation of movement and stillness.
Fitness effects
Practicing Yang's Changquan for a long time will be of great benefit to your health. This boxing technique can effectively improve heart and lung function, speed up blood circulation, and enhance physical fitness. In addition, when practicing, you need to concentrate and abandon distracting thoughts, which has a significant effect on adjusting the nervous system and reducing stress.
I have a few friends around me who used to be weak and often get sick. Since they started practicing Yang's Changquan, their health has improved significantly and their mental state has become better and better. Yang's Changquan is like an unknown "fitness coach", always by our side and helping us stay healthy.
Cultural connotation
Yang's long boxing is not just a martial art, but actually contains the essence of Chinese traditional culture. Among them, the philosophical concept of harmony between yin and yang and the combination of hardness and softness can be demonstrated. When practicing, you must follow the laws of nature and strive to achieve the highest state of unity between man and nature.
In our daily lives, we also need to maintain a balanced mentality, be both firm and gentle towards things, and maintain a peaceful mentality. Yang's Changquan is like a life textbook, teaching us how to find inner peace and harmony in the busy modern society.
Inheritance and development
Yang's Changquan is now widely circulated around the world. Many foreigners have begun to dabble in and love this traditional martial art originated from China. This phenomenon not only promotes mutual exchanges between Chinese and foreign cultures, but also allows more people to appreciate the depth and richness of Chinese culture.
However, we still need to realize that there are still several difficulties on the road to inheritance. Each of us needs to contribute our own little efforts to ensure that the precious cultural heritage of Yang's Changquan can be continuously passed on and spread widely.
