Chapter 25 The Birth of the Grandmaster

Zhang Lao's instructions and explanations are equivalent to telling him the general direction clearly, and after knowing the general direction, if you can't summarize the purpose and essentials of Taijiquan, then Xu Guangling's reading comprehension in junior high school and high school is ineffective. After learning, all his language teachers have reason to despise him.

   But the summary is also divided into superior and inferior.

The minimum is pass, this level Xu Guangling can achieve now; the higher point is good, with the help of many books he has read in the past, and a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, Xu Guangling has a little "the stone of other mountains, you can attack jade", take The next good summary should not be difficult either; good and higher, it is excellent, and excellent and higher, it is perfect or close to perfect.

   is just a pass, which is unacceptable to Xu Guangling, but good, and Xu Guangling is equally unacceptable.

Just like when he followed his mother to learn lyrics and music, many of Xu Guangling's lyrics and songs can get a pass or even a relatively good score. If you vote, you should be able to get a lot of money even if you don't rely on her mother's reputation and channels. Adoption rate, but Xu Guangling did not submit any of those works.

   But the preservation has been preserved, and it can be regarded as a remembrance of the process of learning and creating along the way. Later, after that incident, those drafts were more a kind of memory for Xu Guangling's mother. ——On those manuscript papers, there are many revisions and comments from my mother.

   In fact, the latter is the most important reason for Xu Guangling to keep those manuscript papers or songwriting works, and if there is no such reason, whether Xu Guangling will destroy those works is unknown.

   What Xu Guangling can accept is at least excellent, and his actual self-expectation is actually above excellence. ——

   Perfect, or close to perfect.

   At this time, Zhang Lao's exams are just trivial matters, but Xu Guangling himself has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He can accept that he will not take the exam or even give up, but he can't accept that after he has passed the exam, he will only get a good grade, or even a pass!

  However, how can we sum it up so that we can get an excellent or even perfect score from an old man who is "healthy as a pine, calm as a bell, and moving like a dragon" who has been playing Tai Chi for many years?

Physical fitness is like a pine, although there is a slight suspicion of flattery, especially the last sentence "moving like a dragon", there is absolutely no evidence at all, but Xu Guangling is really not talking nonsense with his eyes open, that kind of He absolutely couldn't do anything, Old Zhang really gave Xu Guangling such a feeling.

   Of course, there is still a little bit of elevation, but in general this elevation can be ignored.

   Such an old man, even if he is gentle and smiling, his requirements for "serious things" must be quite high. The reason is very simple. A casual person who is casual in serious matters can never have the tolerance of "healthy as a slack, as calm as a bell, and as dynamic as a dragon".

It's that simple!

   Therefore, Xu Guangling did not answer rashly, but said to Zhang Lao: "Zhang Lao, please allow me to think about it for a while."

  Lao Zhang didn't look back, just gave a light hum in front of him.

Next, I saw one old man and one young man walking on the trail one after the other in the park. The old man in front would occasionally nod his head or something with some people who passed by from the opposite side and nearby, but there was less verbal conversation. I don't know if the morning exercisers here are more just nodding acquaintances or Zhang Lao himself is not very enthusiastic.

He naturally turned a blind eye to these Xu Guangling. His attention at this time was mostly immersed in his understanding of Tai Chi. Even the forward movement of his feet was probably mechanical. If there was a tree in front of the trail at this time, then Xu Guangling is quite likely to have a close contact with this tree.

The essence of    exercise is to dredge and activate qi and blood in the body.

   But at the same time, exercise will speed up the body's metabolism and cause a slight negative impact on the body. Although it is only slightly, it is accumulated over time and year after year. Obviously, it is not a problem that can be ignored. Therefore, excessively strenuous exercise is the most undesirable, like chronic suicide.

  For example, some athletes who exercise more intensely may seldom get sick because they often speed up their metabolism, and their bodies are relatively “healthy”, but they are also more prone to aging than ordinary people.

   So the conclusion is:

   In order to be healthy, you should exercise. People who don’t move or move less are prone to problems inside the body, and the problems are accumulated over time and gradually, from small problems or small defects that are not even small problems. Too much, cause too much disaster.

   For longevity, the nature and type of exercise should be screened.

   Labor is a sport, but the vast majority of labor is an inferior sport.

Running is a kind of exercise, but this method of passively dredging the blood in the body by "colliding" the body with the earth, even if it is not bad, it is definitely not clever. under swimming.

Swimming and exercising in room temperature water are less effective than exercising in cold water and hot water, because both cold water and hot water will cause a stressful circulation of qi and blood in the body, so take a cold shower or take a hot bath. Water baths, hot springs or steam or something, its fitness effect is obviously stronger than pure swimming.

   labor < running < swimming < hot spring bathing.

   Simply put.

   This is a relatively obvious distinction between pros and cons. There are many other sports, such as playing, dancing, yoga, aerobics, etc., whose pros and cons are relatively difficult to distinguish and need to be further screened.

  Taijiquan, since Zhang Lao said that it was created by ancient health practitioners and has always been highly regarded by people, it must have done well in two aspects:

   First, the effect of dredging blood in the body is very good.

   Second, the damage to the body is very small.

   Combined with the experience of boxing yesterday and before, Xu Guangling's preliminary summary is:

Taijiquan is a kind of "unmoved" movement. It uses some simple and effective movements on the limbs to cause imbalance or deflection of the body. At this time, it is artificially supplemented with corresponding movements to adapt, guide and strengthen this surging and circulation, so as to achieve the maximum degree of movement with the smallest external limb movement. This is the core essence of Taijiquan!

   Intuition told Xu Guangling that his summary should have grasped the purpose and fundamental context of Taijiquan, and all other details and attention should be included here!

   Confucius has a saying, "When you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening!" Why is there such a sentence? Probably the acquisition of knowledge and sudden comprehension can make people feel a kind of instinctual happiness.

  Xu Guangling was like this at this time. When the purpose and fundamental context of Taijiquan were clearly sorted out by him, his understanding of Taijiquan rose by more than one level at once. If yesterday, he got the frame of Tai Chi, and before, he obtained the calmness of Taijiquan, then now, he has passed through the frame and the calmness, and obtained the foundation and essence of Taijiquan.

   The three-step jump in between, the improvement is quite large, so big that Xu Guangling himself was delighted and surprised.

   But of course, the surprise didn't make him lose his temper.

  Xu Guangling just said softly to Zhang Lao's figure: "Zhang Lao, I understand the purpose of Taijiquan."

  ==

  Thanks for the support of "Likes are just the beginning".
