The origin of Tai Ji Chuan and Taijiquan

Tai Ji Chuan was adapted by the State Sports Commission as a gymnastic exercise to strengthen the body after 1949. It was only after the reform and opening up that it was partially restored to its original appearance. From then on, it can be divided into two types: 1. Tai Ji Chuan used in martial arts; 2. Tai Chi exercises and Tai Chi pushers used in gymnastics.

Different functions

Tai Ji Chuan is used in tournament competition and has the function of fighting and attacking. Since ancient times, the purpose of practicing martial arts is to fight. As a traditional martial art, Tai Ji Chuan's main function at first was to fight in actual combat. This is the main function of Tai Ji Chuan, and the second function is to keep fit. Taiji exercises are mostly used for sports and fitness, and they don't value actual combat skills. It is not much different from running, aerobics and other fitness activities in essence.

Different degrees of difficulty

Tai Ji Chuan's practice takes a long time, and it takes several years to master the standing pile practice and waist exercise, and the requirements for action and motivation are strictly in place. Tai Chi exercises have relatively low requirements for this. If you follow the teacher's practice, the movements are generally similar, but the specific force and movement requirements are not high.

The content is different

Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to basic skills, Gong Zhuang, waist and hip kung fu, and practices the harmony of breath muscles, the opening of waist and hip, the transformation of reality and reality, and the feeling of force. Taiji exercises are basically all kinds of Tai Ji Chuan routines, Taiji swords and Taiji fans, and other traditional health-preserving items such as Baduanjin and Wuqinxi can be added. Most of them only need to imitate movements and use muscles. You don't need breath, strength, standing piles and other exercises. And there are often music-assisted fixed routine exercises.

Tai Ji Chuan has a good function of keeping fit, and now it is loved and practiced by many people. But some people say that many people practice Tai Chi instead of Tai Ji Chuan. People can't help wondering, aren't Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Chi exercises the same thing? How do you see the difference between Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Chi? This should start with their origin.

Different ideas

Tai Ji Chuan's idea is also the soul of Tai Ji Chuan. Tai Ji Chuan is a boxing method in which Tai Chi is integrated. He pays attention to the boxing theory of giving oneself up to others, not losing the top, and letting nature take its course. His philosophy can improve people's self-cultivation and cultivate their sentiments. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan is not only a sport, but also a practice to improve cultural connotation and behavior accomplishment. The concept of Taijiquan is generally just to keep fit and help keep fit by exercise.

Different flexibility

Tai Ji Chuan is flexible in his whole body, and his movements are consistent, continuous and natural. Compared with Tai Ji Chuan, Tai Chi exercises are more like action decomposition, with constant pauses and stiff movements.

Internal Qi training is different

As one of the three internal boxing, Tai Ji Chuan pays more attention to internal Qi training. As the saying goes, "Take a breath inside and exercise your muscles and bones outside", Tai Ji Chuan should practice his internal qi as well as his physical fitness. Tai Ji Chuan demanded that Qi sink into the abdomen, support the life gate, and use the rotation of internal qi to drive the movement outside the body, so as to achieve the best boxing effect. Taiji exercise is an external physical exercise, which has no effect on exercising internal qi. The difference between Tai Ji Chuan and Taijiquan 2
