Chapter 5 Tai Chi
Author: Canghai Guyin
Afternoon.
Tang Li was sitting in the hall, looking up information.
"Tai Chi is based on Tai Chi and the dialectical concept of Yin and Yang in traditional Chinese Confucian and Taoist philosophy as the core idea. It integrates multiple functions such as cultivating temperament, strengthening the body, and martial arts confrontation. It combines the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of Yi Xue, and the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is a kind of traditional Chinese boxing that combines internal and external training, softness, slowness, lightness, and a balance between hardness and softness."
"There are many traditional Tai Chi schools. Common Tai Chi schools include the Chen family, the Yang family, the Wu family, and the He family. Each school has a relationship of inheritance, learns from each other, and has its own characteristics. It is like a hundred flowers blooming."
…
…
"It turns out that there are so many ways to practice Tai Chi."
Tang Li pondered in his eyes.
He checked a lot of information related to Tai Chi and learned about the history and inheritance of Tai Chi.
He also learned about Tai Chi through illustrations and videos.
There are many versions of Tai Chi circulating on the Internet, but the Tai Chi practiced by Ke Yiyang seems to be somewhat different from these versions.
…
The next day, 7 o'clock in the morning.
Tang Li came to the pavilion.
In the bamboo forest, Ke Yiyang was already practicing boxing.
He is still wearing a white training suit, and when he steps, he moves like clouds and flowing water, round and round, like water flowing continuously.
Watching Ke Yiyang practice boxing, Tang Li confirmed and compared it with videos circulating on the Internet.
Compare the two.
Ke Yiyang's boxing seems to have a unique and mysterious artistic conception.
A few moments later.
Ke Yiyang stood up with his fists closed, picked up the water glass, drank some water, and looked at Tang Li.
"Tang's son, are you really interested in Tai Chi?" Ke Yiyang asked.
Tang Li looked at Ke Yiyang and said, "Mr. Ke, I want to learn Tai Chi from you, is that okay?"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Ke Yiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to learn Tai Chi from me? Learning Tai Chi is not something that happens overnight. You can't learn Tai Chi well after three or two days of heat. Today's young people are not able to learn Tai Chi.
Are you busy just watching videos and playing games? If you want to learn boxing, how long can you learn and can you persist?"
Tang Li said: "Don't worry, old man, I will study seriously."
Ke Yiyang looked at Tang Li and said, "Okay, I will wait for you in the bamboo forest at this time tomorrow."
"Mr. Xie Ke," Tang Li said happily.
"I hope you're not just talking."
Ke Yiyang carried the water cup, put the cloth bag on his shoulder, and left the bamboo forest.
…
"Use stillness to stop, use softness to overcome hardness, avoid reality and make use of weakness, and use force to exert force."
"If you follow others, you will live; if you follow yourself, you will stagnate."
"Introduce chemical changes and join forces, go with the flow and change the path..."
In the hall of the small building, Tang Li further checked the information on Tai Chi.
Before learning boxing from Ke Yiyang, he also wanted to make more preparations.
Suddenly, Tang Li brought up the attribute panel again.

Today, Tang Li's physical body has reached 11.5.

Attribute points have also accumulated to 0.8.
Looking at the attribute points, Tang Li thought for a while.
"Assignment."
[Practice]: Secret Collection·Treathing Exercise Guide (Skilled 8/500)
Tang Li assigned 0.6 attribute value to the Guidance Technique.
His understanding and mastery of the Secret Treasure and Tuna Training Guide also advanced to a proficient level.
Practice is the foundation of everything.
As you understand and master the art of guidance, the effects of practice will become more significant.
…
…
The morning light poured down, ushering in another early morning.
At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Tang Li had arrived at the pavilion, waiting for Ke Yiyang's arrival.
He sat on the spot and breathed in.
Nowadays, his understanding and control of the Guidance Technique has reached a proficient level. Between breathing and breathing, it naturally follows the rhythm and seems to be naturally integrated with the surrounding world.
At 6:45, Ke Yiyang walked over with a cloth bag on his back and a water cup, and appeared in the bamboo forest.
"Um?"
Seeing Tang Li sitting on the spot in the pavilion, Ke Yiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised and curious.
"Good morning, Mr. Ke." Tang Li stood up and said to Ke Yiyang.
"Morning." Ke Yiyang nodded, placed the cloth bag and water cup on the stone platform, and said: "Young man, it seems that you are really serious and want to learn Tai Chi. Okay, I will give you a complete drill and I will practice it." See how much you can understand of Tai Chi."
"My set of boxing evolved from the original Tai Chi style. It incorporates Hunyuan, Changquan, and even fighting techniques. It has a total of thirteen styles. The boxing is controlled by the mind, coming first from behind, combining the virtual and the actual, and is as dense as The circle keeps turning around."
Ke Yiyang rolled up his sleeves and started practicing boxing.
"Use the heart to move Qi and make sure it is calm, so that it can be collected into the bones. Use Qi to move the body and make sure it is obedient, so that it can be facilitated and followed by the heart. If the spirit can be lifted up, there will be no danger of being slow and heavy. The so-called hanging of the head; It is necessary to change the spirit in order to have the joy of mellowness, which is called transformation into emptiness."
…
"To generate energy, one must be calm, relaxed, and focused on one side. The body must be centered, upright, comfortable, and supported on all sides. The movement of qi is like a nine-curved bead, meticulous. The movement is like a hundred steel refinements, how can it be indestructible. The shape is like a swan chasing a rabbit, and the spirit is like a swan. A cat that catches mice. It is as quiet as a mountain, as moving as a river, it accumulates energy like a bow, and it unleashes its energy like an arrow. It seeks straightness while bending, and then it releases."
…
…
Ke Yiyang explained the principles of boxing.
The bamboo leaves scattered on the ground turned and danced as he stepped and practiced boxing.
"call--"
A few moments later, Ke Yiyang breathed out softly, closed his fist and stood up.
"How is it? How much do you remember?"
Ke Yiyang looked at Tang Li and asked.
Tang Li thought for a while and said: "It's not bad, I roughly remember a few things."
Since his spirit has improved and his mind has become clearer, Tang Li's memory has become much better than before. Looking back on Ke Yiyang's practice of boxing, many boxing techniques and changes came together like a picture, and then emerged.
"good."
"Follow me and practice it again."
Ke Yiyang said.
Immediately, he stretched his hands forward, bent his right foot slightly, and formed a boxing stance.
Tang Li also imitated Ke Yiyang, stretched out his hands, moved forward and backward, bent his knees and lowered his elbows, and made the starting hand of Tai Chi.
"Traditional martial arts aims at cultivating one's moral character and puts the mind first."
“The true pursuit of Tai Chi is not to use force to suppress people and defeat the enemy, but to continuously explore one’s own potential through practicing martial arts, feel the nature of heaven and earth, and even pursue the artistic conception of the unity of nature and man.”
Tang Li followed Ke Yiyang and practiced Tai Chi step by step. He was a little jerky at first, but gradually became more and more skilled. One old and one young, walking around in the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves were flying, flipping up and down, and there seemed to be an invisible feeling. Qi, throughout.
Feel the breath flowing around you.
Round and round.
Endless.
Dense and pure.
And like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Tang Li felt the mystery of Tai Chi.
