3 太极拳 Yang Style 24 Posture
4 太极拳 - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 originated in China as a martial art, and has value treating and/or preventing many health problems. It is often described as 'meditation in motion', however it might well be called 'medication in motion' for all the benefits it provides. A Taoist Master: Zhang Sanfeng 張三丰 (1247- ) was asleep under a tree and was awoken by a snake and crane fighting. Feeling that the movements would work well for self-defense he copied the soft, coiling motion of their movements and created a form of thirteen postures, corresponding with the eight trigrams of the I Ching - Yì Jīng 易经 and the Five Phases - Wŭ Xíng 五行. The lineage after Master Zhang Sanfeng 張三丰 (1247- ) is not clear, however it does lead to a man named Chiang Fah. He taught his form to a man named Chen Wang-Ting, who is recorded as practicing - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 prior to The Chen family's T'ai Chi - Tàijí 太極 remained a secret for five generations, not to be taught to anyone outside of the family. Later on, during the 1800's, Chen Chang-Hsin ( ) broke this tradition and taught his family's style and secrets to an earnest student named Yang Lu-ch'an ( ). The Yang style, as we know it today, was standardized by Yang Lu-ch'an's grandson, Yang Cheng-Fu ( ). It consists, at its longest account, of 128 postures and is characterized by the slow, even pace most people associate with T'ai Chi - Tàijí 太極. 太极拳 Styles There are five major styles of 太极拳, each named after the Chinese family from which it originated: Chen-style ( 陳氏 ) of Chen Wangting ( ) Yang-style ( 楊氏 ) of Yang Lu-ch'an ( ) Wu- or Wu (Hao)-style ( 武氏 ) of Wu Yu-hsiang ( ) Wu-style ( 吳氏 ) of Wu Ch'uan-yu ( ) & his son Wu Chien-ch'uan ( ) Sun-style ( 孫氏 ) of Sun Lu-t'ang ( ) The 24 form was developed in 1956 by a Committee in Mainland Communist China as the primary means of healthcare for its population.
5 Naming 太极拳 What is now known as 太极拳 only appears to have received it's name around the mid-1800s. A scholar in the Imperial Court by the name of Ong Tong He, witnessed a demonstration by Yang Lu-ch'an at a time before Yang had established his reputation as a teacher. Ong wrote: 'Hands holding T'ai Chi 太极 shakes the whole world, a chest containing ultimate skill defeats a gathering of heroes'. Before this time the art had a number of different names including; Touch Boxing - Zhān Quán 沾拳, Soft Boxing - Mián Quán 绵拳, or The Thirteen Techniques - Shísān Shì 十三式. The Relation of T'ai Chi 太極 to Philosophy In modern usage, the term T'ai Chi - Taiji 太極 is now commonly understood, both in the West and in mainland China, to refer to the martial art and exercise system. However, the term has its origins in Chinese philosophy and Taoism - Dàojiào 道教. The term T'ai Chi 太極 translates to 'great pole/goal' or 'supreme ultimate', and is believed to be the pivotal, spiraling, or coiling force that transforms the neutrality of the Empty Void - Wújí 無極 to a state of polarity depicted by the T'ai Chi 太極 symbol. Thus symbolically representing a state between the Empty Void - Wújí 無極 and the polar Yin - Yīn 陰 & Yang - Yáng 陽. The combination of the term T'ai Chi 太極 and Fist - Quán 拳, produces the martial art's name - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 or 'T'ai Chi Fist', showing the close link and use of the T'ai Chi - Tàijí 太極 concept in the martial art. - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 does not directly refer to the use of Energy - Qì 氣 as is commonly assumed. The practice of - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 is meant to be in harmony with T'ai Chi Ch'uan - Tàijí Quán 太极拳 philosophy, utilising and manipulating Energy - Qì 氣 via T'ai Chi - Tàijí 太极, to produce great effect with minimal effort.
6 太极拳 Zhang Sanfeng 張三丰 (1247- ) Nurture energy, forget words and guard it. Conquer the mind, do non-doing. In activity and quietude, know the source progenitor. There is no thing; whom else do you seek? Real constancy should respond to people; In responding to people, it is essential not to get confused. When you don't get confused, your nature is naturally stable; When your nature is stable, energy naturally returns. When energy returns, Elixir spontaneously crystallizes, In the pot pairing water and fire. Yin and yang arise, alternating over and over again, Everywhere producing the sound of thunder. White clouds assemble on the summit, Sweet dew bathes the polar mountain. Having drunk the wine of longevity, You wander free; who can know you? You sit and listen to the stringless tune, You clearly understand the mechanism of creation. The whole of these twenty verses is a ladder straight to heaven.
7 The Song of the Thirteen Influences (Unknown) Never neglect any of the Sip Sam Seh. The source of the will is in the waist. Pay attention to the slightest change from full to empty. Let energy flow through the whole body continuously. Stillness embodies motion, motion stillness. Seek stillness in motion. Surprising things will happen when you meet your opponent. Give awareness and purpose to every movement. When done correctly all will appear effortless. At all times pay attention to the waist. Relaxed clear awareness of abdomen, the energy can be activated. When the base of the spine is erect, energy rises to the top of the head. The body should be flexible. Hold the head as if suspended from a string. Keep alert and seek the meaning and purpose of your art. Bent and stretched, open and closed, let nature take its course. Beginners are guided by oral teaching. Gradually one applies himself more and more. Skill will take care of itself. What is the main principle of the martial arts? The mind is the primary actor and the body the secondary one. What is the purpose and philosophy behind the martial arts? Rejuvenation and prolonging of life beyond the normal span. So an eternal spring. Every word of this song has enormous value and importance. Failing to follow this song attentively, you will sigh away your time.
