The so-called Taiji is the process of elucidating the universe from no-pole to Taiji, to the process of all things being born.

Taiji is an important concept, category in the history of Chinese Taoist culture, so far seen in the literature, first seen in the "Zhuangzi": "Avenue, in the Taiji above and not for high; in the six poles below and not for deep; the first days of the earth and not for a long time; long in the ancient times, but not for the old". Later, it is found in Yi Chuan: "Yi has Taiji, which gives birth to two instruments. Two meters give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to eight trigrams."

Taiji, ancient Chinese philosophy used to illustrate the origin of the world category, "Taiji" word, out of the "Zhuangzi": "Avenue, in the Taiji above and not for high; in the six poles below and not for the deep; the first days of the earth and not for a long time; long in the ancient and not for the old". Too, that is, big; pole, refers to the end, the pole. Things change when they are extreme, and change when they are transformed, so the source of change is the Taiji.

(1) Refers to the original energy of the universe at the beginning of the universe.

(2) Take the void essence as Taiji.

(3) The forty-nine digits of the number of the Great Diffusion are not divided into Taiji.

(4) The mixture of yin and yang is not divided into Taiji.

(5) "A Yin and a Yang is called Tao" is also the explanation of Taiji.

The Taiji is born of two instruments, Taiji is silent and motionless, there is no image, only for the body of pure light, this is the rationality of the lifeless. This is the reason of no birth. When it moves, it shows the image to be used, and it is called birth. Born of the image, the number of infinite, but the beginning of the time, only one bright and one dark two colors, bright color for the Yang, dark color for the Yin, so called yin and yang two instruments, instrument such as the "Kong's justice" explained, for the instrument to speak, because it has not yet become an image, it is not known as the two elephants, known only as the two instruments. However, these two instruments are the basic structure of the four elephants to ten thousand elephants, ten thousand elephants that is subdivided from the two instruments, so ten thousand elephants do not have the yin and yang two instruments. Although the number of images is infinite, but the basic number of yang odd and yin even. When Fuxi drew the hexagrams, he invented the extremely simple two paintings to show the source of the infinite number of images.

The birthplace of taijiquan is China, practicing taijiquan more than ten million people, but many people can not practice taiji kung fu, in fact, do not know the essence of taijiquan. There is a confusion zone in practicing Taijiquan. Many people know about relaxation, but very few people know the result of relaxation or what the purpose of relaxation is.

Of course, there are other reasons why taijiquan enthusiasts cannot practice taijiquan kungfu.

One is gymnasticization, such as simplified Taijiquan, which is totally wrong.

The second is forcefulness, such as some people adding Taijiquan stances to sparring and thinking it is Taijiquan.

Thirdly, books are misleading. Some books, especially those produced by modern people, are extremely wrong in their interpretation of Taijiquan.

Fourthly, the videos are misleading, and the movements are also wrong when they are misinterpreted and induced.

So, what is the essence of Taijiquan?

Sinking: is the essence of Taijiquan.

Loosening: is the method, sinking: is the purpose.

Sinking: is the feeling, e.g., once you lift your arm, you should have the feeling of sinking.

Sinking: is the root of Taijiquan, other qi, waist blocking strength, circle, circle, ball, etc., are all add-ons on the basis of sinking.

Losing the goal is the same as losing the direction of practice, and coupled with the lulls of Taiji manipulation and forcefulness, it will go farther and farther away from the direction it should go.

Apart from the head, all other limbs and flesh of the body should be practiced to produce strength:

Simply put, the arm sinks and acts on the shoulder, the shoulder relaxes, and the heaviness of the arm will act on the spine through the shoulder, which, together with the spine's containing the chest and pulling out the back, results in the back bracing, thus completing the bracing of the spine to the arm, and also completing the arm's force from the spine,.

Without the sinking of the arms, there will be no supporting force of the arms.

By loosening the waist, the weight of the body above the waist is brought to the span and sinks.

By loosening the waist, the weight of the body above the waist is applied to the legs, thus accomplishing the waist blocking strength and sinking.

By loosening the legs and feet, the weight of the body above the feet is transferred to the soles of the feet, thus accomplishing that the force is sent to the heel and sinking.

The small sinking should obey the big sinking, and the small sinking should assist the big sinking:

This is not well understood, all parts of the body are weight, through the loose, to reflect this weight, their own weight, the arm belongs to the small sink, the body is the big sink.

For example, such as the right turn to hold the ball, the right arm is a small sinking, when the body right turn to sink the body, will be a small sinking right arm through the cross to the warping, the right arm belongs to the obedience.

The left arm, on the other hand, will sink downward and to the right as the body sinks, accomplishing the role of assisting the body to sink.
