The masters of Tai Chi are not only skilled, but also shoulder the important task of inheriting culture. Through personal practice and spreading the wisdom of Tai Chi, many people can understand the true meaning of life in the boxing technique of combining hardness and softness.

The original intention of practicing martial arts

When I was a child, I witnessed a Tai Chi performance on the street, and the smooth moves immediately attracted me deeply. After I got home, I pestered my elders and asked me to try to learn Tai Chi. At first, I was confused by every move and often couldn't do it well, but my inner love for Tai Chi burned like a flame, which inspired me to persevere and be determined to become a Tai Chi master like a master on stage.

Practice time

Practicing Tai Chi is not easy, it requires a lot of hard work. In the early morning, before dawn, I got up and went to the park, thinking about every move repeatedly, and striving for excellence. Taking a single whip as an example, the strength of the hand, the position of the foot, the rotation of the body, and any deviation in details may make the whole movement lose its charm. In the hot summer days, sweat wet the back of the clothes; in the cold weather days, fingers are so cold that they cannot bend. However, it is precisely this hard training day after day that I gradually understand the subtleties of Tai Chi.

Inheriting faith

Since becoming a master, I have found that many young people have developed a strong interest in Tai Chi, so I have the idea of ​​passing on what I have learned throughout my life to them. In the process of teaching Tai Chi, I will start with the most basic standing movements and explain to them that this is the foundation of Tai Chi. At the same time, I will incorporate the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy to explain the internal principles of Tai Chi. Whenever I see my disciples being able to skillfully play a beautiful set of Tai Chi, I feel that the inheritance work is full of hope.

Communication insights

During the communication with Tai Chi enthusiasts from home and abroad, I found that everyone has great interest and respect for Tai Chi. Foreign friends will ask me questions about the yin and yang theory in Tai Chi, and I will explain it by the rising sun and the setting moon, and the changing of day and night. At that moment, I deeply realized that Tai Chi is like a bridge of communication culture. It can transcend various cultural differences, allowing friends of different skin colors to appreciate the unique charm of Eastern culture.

Future Outlook

In the future, I hope Tai Chi can be accepted by a wider group. For example, let it enter the campus so that children can bathe in the influence of traditional culture from an early age. At the same time, I also hope to use more high-tech means to promote the dissemination of Tai Chi, such as using virtual reality technology, so that the public can appreciate the charm of Tai Chi in an immersive way. In short, we should let Tai Chi shine with new brilliance in the new era.
