Structure,Embodied Meaning and Vitalistic Meaning of Taijiquan Routines
Taijiquan routines are the carrier of Taijiquan culture and an important way for peo-ple to learn and practice Taijiquan.However,in the era of instrumental rationality,Taijiquan has been alienated,and Taijiquan routines have been formalized and become defective.Under the modernized Chinese discourse system,it is necessary to clarify the practice of Taiji routines and correct its connotation,so as to enable it to better contribute to the skills and cultural wisdom.First of all,analyzing the structure of traditional Taiji routines and clarify the intention of return-ing to the circle,the structure of responding to the eight directions,the skeleton of the arrow-quiver circle,and the style of the frame of the center and the circle.This is the principle of prac-ticing the routine,the structural foundation of Taijiquan's body and power movement,and also the key point of constructing the human body's Taijiquan pattern.Secondly,exploring the under-lying rationale of Taiji routines and clarify the value of healthy and universal practice,the ratio-nale and interest of transforming the body into a fist,the guidelines of continuous and light strength,and the internalized rationale of the dual cultivation of life.This reflects the popular-ized appearance,physical meaning,kung fu posture,and artistic content of the set.Finally,it in-dicate the vitalistic connotations of the study and practice of the Taiji routines:The life cultiva-tion and realization of body and mind working together,the harmony of yin and yang,the har-mony of light and dust,the joy of things and the understanding of life;the life realmization of using strength as the method,moving from skill to philosophy,combining body and use,and the intersection of cultivation and thought.The body,kung fu,art and life are all in one,which pro-foundly interprets the connotation of Taiji routines and its Chinese cultural qualities.
