The Taijiquan upper limb movement password:        Shoulders dropped and elbows, tai chi on the basic requirements of the state of motion of the upper limb to do this, its essence lies the taijiquan and outreach of the scapula That long as scapula subsidence outreach, naturally it must be "Chen Jian fall elbow.

Requirements prior to the development effort arm comes first, the so-called little section from root ganglion reminders.

Why Practise Taijiquan(为什么练习太极拳)?
All Taijiquan exercises are performed softly. To use only those muscles required to perform a particular act and not to use other muscles is to be efficient. To relax is to conserve energy. In this way softness will promote greater efficiency. To be soft is to have efficient muscles, which promote muscle flexibility. Softness also alleviates anxiety and aids clear thinking by relaxing the mind. Adequate muscle tone and a well-balanced interplay of tension and release are usually associated with general well-being and emotional stability. From motion you obtain serenity and stability by the release of tension through the continuous shifting of weight from one foot to the other. Meditation, health and self-defence seem contradictory and incompatible, but nothing could be further from the truth. The practice of all three involves the training of both mind and body. Self-defence like meditation requires that one becomes aware of one’s body. The body must be conditioned to become flexible and strong. Taijiquan is both meditation and self-defence at the same time; the system is designed so that the two are inseparable. When you are practising one, you are practising the other. Qi is not quite life-force but it is an aspect of life-force. It is intrinsic energy, inner power, and a vital force that is inherent in all human beings. Once this vital force is released in the individual it is supposed to bring him robust health, strength and longevity. For all the Chinese ‘internal boxing’ schools the power that Qi brings is applied not only for meditation and enlightenment but also for health and self-defence. The principal technique for the development and cultivation of Qi in Taijiquan is in the practice of Taijiquan movements. Unless the movements are practised properly the cultivation of Qi is not possible. The combination of relaxation and proper breathing within the movements is the key to Qi.

About body, tai chi martial art very seriously. Especially Young's tai chi is most known for. It includes two aspects: First my practice shenfa to be positive, most of the action to be on in the next three points [ie Baihui will Zhiyin the Yongquan] basically to keep the upper and lower vertical Jhongjheng not partial to form a gravity vertical line, the body can not bend forward and backward. . .

Tai Chi, one of China's martial arts, a combination of ancient guide, qigong breathing technique and Chinese meridian theory, and the theory of yin and yang of ancient philosophical base to Taoism, Tai Chi, Bagua Taijiquan theory is integrated together. Tai Ji Quan (Tai Chi) is a major division of Chinese martial art.

 

Zhang San Feng (张三丰 or 张三峰) was a legendary Chinese Taoist priest from Wudang (武当) monastery believed to have lived at least 200 years. He was said to be living in the Song dynasty, Yuan dynasty and Ming dynasty. His name is said to have been Zhang Junbao (張君寶) and he was a Shaolin monk before he became a Taoist monk. Zhang San Feng’s Taijiquan is known as Shi San Shi (十三式) or Thirteen Postures. All Taijiquan practiced today are said to come from this style. However, historical facts do not have evidence that Zhang San Feng was the originator of Taijiquan. There are also claims that there are actually two Zhang San Feng. 
  Wang Zong Yue (王宗岳) was a legendary figure in the history of taijiquan believed to be a famous student of Zhang San Feng. His Taijiquan Lun (太极拳论) or Taijiquan Theory, was frequently quoted as one of the classics in the study of Taijiquan. Wang's disciples, Jiang Fa (將發), went on to make important contributions to the development of modern Taijiquan by passing the matial art to Chen Wang Ting. However, the story is vague and the timeline do not support the story. 

     Whether Xu Xuan Ping, Zhang San Feng, Wang Zong Yue or Chen Wang Ting create Taijiquan, it is still under dispute. But the fact that must be accepted is that Chen Chang Xing (陈长兴, 1771-1853), the 14th generation Chen master, was the first to teach Chen Taijiquan to Yang Lu Chan (杨露禅, 1799-1872), an outsider to Chen family. Yang Lu Chan traveled to Beijing in 1860's and soon became famous for being an unbeatable master. Yang formulated his own Taijiquan form based on Chen Family Taijiquan and became the founder of Yang Taijiquan. This was the beginning of the spread of Taijiquan from family art of a small village in central China to an international phenomenon.

TaiChi  
Tai Ji Quan is a major division of Chinese martial art. Tai Ji Quan means "supreme ultimate fist". Tai means "Supreme", Ji means "Ultimate", and Quan means "Fist".

There have been different sayings about the origin of Tai Ji Quan. The traditional legend goes that the wise man Zhang Sanfeng of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) created Tai Ji Quan after he had witnessed a fight between a sparrow and a snake; while most people agreed that the modern Tai Ji Quan originated from Chen style Tai Ji Quan, which first appeared during the 19th century in the Daoguang Reign of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Tai Ji Quan has its philosophical roots in Taoism and is considered as an internal martial art, utilizing the internal energy, or Qi, and following the simple principle of "subduing the vigorous by the soft". Taoism is the oldest philosophy of China which is represented by the famous symbol of the Yin and Yang which expresses the continuous flow of Qi in a circular motion that generates two opposite forces, plus and minus, which interact and balance with each others to bring existence to the physical and metaphysical world.

The most famous forms of Tai Ji Quan practiced today are the Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun styles. All the five styles can be traced back to Chen style Tai Ji Quan. According to historical records .Based on the Chen style and created by Yang Luchan, a Hebei native of the Qing Dynasty, the Yang style is now the most popular style worldwide. The Woo Style is based on the Chen and Yang styles and created by Woo Yuxing.

The Sun style is derived from Chen and Woo styles and created by Sun Lutang. The Sun style is a combination of the more famous internal Chinese martial art forms of Ba Gua, Xing Yi and Tai Ji. The Wu style is based on Chen and Yang styles, and it was created by Wu Jianquan.

Nowadays, when most people talk about Tai Ji Quan, they are usually referring to the Yang style, which has already spread throughout the world and is practiced by millions of people.

 

太极拳,中国拳术之一,早期曾称为“长拳”、“棉拳”、“十三势”、“软手”。至清朝乾隆年间(公元1736~1796年),山西人王宗岳著《太极拳论》,才确定了太极拳的名称。“太极”一词源出《周易·系词》,含有至高、至极、绝对、唯一的意思。

关于太极拳的起源,众说纷纭,大致有唐朝(公元618~907年)许宣平、宋朝(公元960~1278年)张三峰、明朝(公元1368~1644年)张三丰、清朝(公元1644~1911年)陈王廷和王宗岳等几种不同的说法。但现在多数拳家亦以现传各式太极拳俊源出陈式太极拳之说为本。

太极拳综合吸收了明代名家拳法,特别是戚继光的三十二式长拳,并结合了古代导引、吐纳气功之术和中医经络学说,以及古代阴阳五行学说,以道教、太极八卦等理论为太极拳的哲学基础,综合而成。

太极拳以“棚、捋、挤、按、瘛 、肘、靠、进、退、顾、盼、定”等为基本方法。动作徐缓舒畅,要求练拳时正腰、收颚、直背、垂间,有飘然腾云之意境。清代拳师称“拳如大海,滔滔而不绝”。同时,太极拳还很重视练气,所谓“气”,就是修炼人体自身的精神力,这是太极拳作为内家功夫的特点之一。

 

目前,太极拳主要有陈式、杨式、孙式、吴式、武式等流派。明末清初,河北永年人杨露禅从学陈长兴,并与其子杨健侯、其孙杨澄甫等人在陈式太极拳的基础上,创编发展了“杨式太极拳”。清末河北永年人武禹襄在杨露禅从陈家沟返乡后,深爱其术,从学杨于陈式老架太极拳,后又从陈清平学赵堡架,经过修改,创造了“武式太极拳”。河北完县人孙禄堂,从师李魁垣学形意拳,继而学于李魁垣的师傅郭云深,又从师于程廷华学八卦掌。后又从师郝为真学太极拳,之后参合八卦、形意、太极三家拳术的精义,融合一体而创“孙式太极拳”。
