Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 25 The Birth of the Grandmaster

Zhang Lao’s pointers and explanations are equivalent to telling him the general direction, and after knowing the general direction, if he cannot summarize the purpose and essentials of Taijiquan, then Xu Guangling’s reading comprehension in junior high school and high school is useless. After learning, all his Chinese teachers have reason to despise him.

But the summary is also divided.

The lowest level is pass, which Xu Guangling can reach right now; the higher level is good, relying on the many books he has read in the past and absorbed a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, Xu Guangling has a little bit of "stones from other mountains, you can attack jade", and get It should not be difficult to make a good summary; if good is higher, it is excellent, and if it is better, it is perfect or close to perfect.

Xu Guangling couldn't accept just a pass, but it was also difficult for Xu Guangling to accept just being good.

Just like learning lyrics and music from his mother back then, many of Xu Guangling's lyrics and music works can get a pass or even a relatively good score. Adoption rate, but Xu Guangling didn't vote for any of those works.

But the preservation was preserved, at least it can be regarded as a memory of the process of learning and creating along the way. Later, after that incident, those drafts were even more a kind of memory for Xu Guangling's mother. ——There are many mother's revisions and comments on those draft papers.

In fact, the latter is the main reason why Xu Guangling preserved those manuscripts or lyrics and music works. If there is no such reason, it is not known whether Xu Guangling will destroy those works.

What Xu Guangling can accept is at least excellence, but his actual self-expectation is actually higher than excellence. ——

Perfect, or close to perfect.

At this time, Zhang Lao's school examination was just an insignificant matter, but Xu Guangling himself had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He could accept that he didn't take the test or even gave up, but he couldn't accept that after he passed the test, he only got a good grade, or even a pass!

However, how to sum it up, is it possible to get an excellent or even perfect score from an old man who has practiced Taijiquan for an unknown number of years with "body as strong as a pine, breath as calm as a bell, and spirit as a dragon"?

The body is as healthy as a pine, although there is a slight suspicion of flattery, especially the last sentence "God moves like a dragon", there is no real evidence at all, but Xu Guangling is really not talking nonsense with his eyes open, that kind of He would never be able to do anything, Mr. Zhang really gave Xu Guangling such a feeling.

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

Such an old man, no matter how gentle he is, how much he talks and laughs at Yan Yan, his requirements for "serious things" must be quite high.The reason is very simple, a person who is casual, who is casual in serious matters, will never have the bearing of "being as strong as a pine, as calm as a bell, and as moving as a dragon".

It's that simple!

So Xu Guangling didn't answer rashly, but said to Zhang Lao: "Zhang Lao, please allow me to think about it for a while."

Zhang Lao didn't turn his head, but gave a soft hum in front of him.

Next, I saw an old man, a young man, one behind the other walking on the path in the park. The old man in front would occasionally nod to some people passing by the opposite side or nearby, but there were few verbal conversations. I don't know if the morning exercisers here are more just nodding acquaintances or Zhang Lao himself is not very enthusiastic.

Naturally, Xu Guangling turned a blind eye to these things. His attention at this time was mostly immersed in his understanding of Taiji. Even the forward movement of his feet was probably considered mechanical. It is quite possible for Xu Guangling to have a close contact with this tree.

The essence of exercise is to dredge and activate the 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 slight, it accumulates over time, year after year, and it is obviously not a problem that can be ignored.So too much strenuous exercise is the least desirable, it is like slow suicide.

For example, some athletes with high exercise intensity may seldom get sick because of their frequent acceleration of body metabolism, and their bodies are relatively "healthy", but they are also more prone to aging than ordinary people.

So the conclusion is:

For health, one should exercise.People who do not move or move less are prone to problems inside the body, and the problems are accumulated over time, from small to gradual, from small problems or small flaws that are not even small problems accumulate little by little, and eventually accumulate little by little. Too many, causing too many disasters.

In order to live longer, the nature and type of exercise should be screened.

Labor is a movement, but most labor is a bad movement.

Running is a kind of exercise, but this way of passively dredging the blood in the body by "impacting" the body with the ground, even if it is not bad, it is definitely not brilliant. Its effect or grade is far beyond under the swim.

Swimming and activities in normal temperature water are less effective than activities in cold water or hot water, because no matter whether cold water or hot water, it will cause a kind of stress circulation in the body, so take a cold bath or soak in hot water The fitness effect of water bath, hot spring or steam is obviously stronger than that of pure swimming.

Labor<running<swimming<hot spring bath steam bath.

Simply put, that's it.

This is a relatively obvious distinction between good and bad, and there are many other sports, such as playing ball, dancing, yoga, aerobics, etc., the pros and cons of which are relatively difficult to distinguish and need to be further screened.

Taijiquan, since Zhang Lao said that it was created by ancient health-preserving masters and has always been respected by others, it must have done well in two aspects:

[-]. The effect of dredging Qi and blood in the body is very good.

Second, the loss to the body is very small.

Combining yesterday's and previous boxing experience, Xu Guangling's preliminary conclusion is:

Taijiquan is a kind of "non-moving" exercise. It uses some simple and effective limb movements to cause body imbalance or deflection of the center of gravity, and then the body is in this imbalance and deflection of the center of gravity. At this time, the corresponding movement is artificially supplemented to adapt, guide and strengthen this surge and circulation, so as to achieve the greatest degree with the smallest movement of the external limbs. 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 exquisiteness should be included in it!

Confucius has a saying, "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening!" Why is there such a sentence?It is probably the acquisition of knowledge and sudden comprehension, which can make people feel an instinctive joy.

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

During the three-step jump, the rate of improvement was quite large, so great that Xu Guangling himself was delighted and surprised by it.

But of course, this surprise was not enough to make him lose his composure.

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