The origin of Taijiquan has always been the focus of various types of Taijiquan controversy, the main reason is that the current branches have been significantly differentiated in the interpretation of the content of Taijiquan, it is precisely because of these differences that they criticize each other, since they can not compete on the fist and foot, then on the cultural foundation to make themselves closer to the source, in order to show their own Taiji authenticity, the Chinese people especially eat this set, so everyone has worked the who teaches Tai Chi who. So those not-so-distant histories are packaged into various versions of the story, which makes people dazzle.
I was confused when I first came into contact with these stories, but as I learned more about tai chi, I found that it was not so complicated. There is no need to investigate who is so detailed about which dynasty, just look for its development logic.
The first is the entanglement between Wudang and Chen, I think as long as the Taoist school practices anything, it can be called taijiquan, because people practice this, natural rights. It was just that at that time, everyone had no trademark awareness, and they didn't expect to be preemptively registered. Just like now the Taiji trademark has been registered by a pharmaceutical company, but I have not seen anyone to argue with them, which is to put those religious countries you register a try. Then the Chen-style Taijiquan, which was born from Chen Jiagou now, has obvious horseback combat actions, with bows and horses riding and shooting, and long guns and double hammers, which is obviously not something practiced by the Taoist church.
Although traditional martial arts are differentiated from battlefield martial arts, and the founder of Taoism is also an all-rounder of literature and martial arts, and the bow horse is skilled, but after a thousand years of inheritance, the Taoist martial arts school that is far away from the battlefield will only go farther and farther on the road of physical and mental unity. Under the wash of time, the moves of the bow and horse riding and shooting in the Taoist martial arts have been weakened, especially the moves of the main battle weapon long gun on the battlefield have disappeared. And only those folk martial arts that take the ultimate goal of riding the battlefield and making meritorious achievements will continue to work this, and the yearning for the jinge iron horse engraved in the bones makes these moves always obvious, even today, the Chen-style taijiquan that has been greatly simplified and changed can still clearly see the action of the long gun, double hammer, and bow horse riding and shooting.
Therefore, Wudang and Chen Shi are not a set of fists at all, let alone who deceives the teacher and steals the name, and forgets the ancestors.
The ancestors of the folk martial arts are basically soldiers who have been on the battlefield or at least trained by the officials, basically you are in the army when any kind of soldier comes back to practice, such as the fist of the long gun is like using a gun with an empty hand, and the action of the force is always around the "stop naza"; the return of the knife and shield is to imitate the use of the sword and shield, and the force is "wheel smashing". Of course, each class of soldiers in the initial training at least have to know more than two kinds of weapons, but like Chen's fist such a variety of main battle weapons are imitated again, relatively few, I heard that it is 5 sets of fists streamlined, it is estimated that it may have been a set of weapons a set of fists, now mixed together is not easy to distinguish, this is a pity, but the shaking rod is good, what is the imitation is very clear, do you understand what weapons are trained? Here I will sell a close, you can leave a message to discuss.
Let's take a look at the absolute protagonist of those stories, "Tai Chi Chuan", is it the first boxing theory or the first Chen fist? If it is from Wudang at the beginning, it can be called Taijiquan generously, and there is no need to wait for the "Mian Fist" that comes out of the ravine, and then go to the name of Taijiquan after the fire has spread all over the capital. The reason for this name is because of this book. The content of "Fist Theory" can be seen by clear-eyed people that it is describing the Tai Chi push hand, and the push hand I introduced before is the winding force of two people when simulating the weapon attack with empty hands, and the inability to grasp and hug is the obvious characteristics of the weapon. So this is still an extension of battlefield martial arts.
At that time, the fist theory was on fire, and the fire was enough to change the name of this fist! For example, when an entrepreneur is not successful, no one pays attention to him, and when he gets rich, a bunch of economists come running over, as if they have found the key to success, and it is a summary and a book, and all kinds of daigo-inspired theories have intoxicated the entrepreneur and felt that he is just like that. Therefore, this belongs to someone who has been tied up with a big hat, but the disciples surnamed Yang dare to take it, can the master surnamed Chen not be the scalp, it is estimated that there was no less ridicule in that year: What kind of cultivation are the Zhuanghu people in the ravine? Dare to teach tai chi! Can you figure out what gossip is and which is called the five elements? "I guess most of the people in the ditch at that time were like the descendants who entered the capital half a century later and were squeezed out to attend only the Taijiquan conference, and they just smiled heartily. But not everyone can bear it, there is a serious one, is not the I Ching and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the medical martial family, learned, so half a life of painstaking work into a taijiquan masterpiece "Taijiquan Picture Lecture Notes", although some chapters are lost, but only by relying on the remaining can still become the most cattle masterpiece in the history of Chinese folk martial arts, I don't know if his family ancestors are trained according to the book, anyway, no one in the later generations can explain this book [look].
Look at that time, the descendants of the Chen family had both what they could fight and write, and the champion of literature and martial arts was the same for a while, and finally pushed Chen Shiquan to the main seat, just by virtue of the depth of the theory in that book, they envied their peers, and even the Taoists had to thumb up, so no one in the general public questioned "Do you dare to teach tai chi?" ”。
But today, the traditional martial arts on the road of health and art can no longer win or lose to see the real chapter, but can open the door at will, which makes many people sit still, and begin to jump from their own interests, since you can't beat me, then it is better than who can write it, all kinds of online articles in the name of cultural archaeology to their own teachers face gold. It can't be more helpful than whoever debuted; the same series is either more authentic than who practices the routine, or it is more "practical" than whose moves. Anyway, no one understands, each family blows their own family, the apprentice is really filial piety, and the master is pretending to be confused. The wind of mouth cannon is growing day by day, which is nothing more than the word interest. In the end, only people stood in the ring and ridiculed chuanwu stupidity to the extreme.
Whether it is a contest to win or lose in the ring again in the future, or to drift to the Taoist body and mind to cultivate immortals, we should re-understand it clearly, do not mythologize or demonize, relax our mentality, and go online without saying that the inheritance is on the line, as if what your master said cannot be wrong, questioning is slandering, no one is perfect, and it is normal to teach wrong. Now those who appear for the so-called "actual combat" of all kinds of "practical" tai chi, is not to say that the old generation of boxing actual combat is not easy to use? But you haven't even figured out what this punch is not practical? However, it is not realistic to change it again, this is the inevitable law of development, but I hope that there is a team that can keep its duty, pass it on as usual, and restore a real original appearance to future generations!
So now who do you think teaches Tai Chi is the real Tai Chi?
Finally, I would like to thank this era of the Internet, so that small people such as me can express their views with content instead of names.
