Why Do Famous Masters Have Short Lives – Hong Jun Sheng ?

Quote from Jiang Jiajun's book "Dialogues with Tai Chi Masters." During the conversation, Brother He asked Master Hong, "Does practicing Tai Chi Chuan lead to longevity?" Master Hong looked at Brother He and said, "I know what you want to ask. You want to know why some Tai Chi Chuan predecessors and masters passed away early. What is the reason behind it?" Master Hong continued, "People who practice Tai Chi Chuan should have a long life; their achievements will be greater. 'No longevity' means they do not live to an old age. Master Chen Changxing lived to eighty-two, his disciple Yang Luchan lived to seventy-two, Master Chen Xin lived to eighty, and my teacher Master Chen Fake also lived to over seventy. They can all be considered relatively long-lived. If they had passed away in their forties or fifties,…

The Story of Chen Jia Gou 5-6

Wang Ting was furious. Originally, he only wanted to teach the drum officer a lesson and had no intention of killing him. Who would have thought that his strike would be too forceful and the drum officer couldn't deflect the blow, resulting in his instant death. With this turn of events, the cheers in the training ground immediately ceased, replaced by a wave of fear. Wang Ting thought to himself that a true hero should take responsibility for his actions and report to the chief examiner that he had killed someone.           With a flushed face and an air of anger, Wang Ting rode his horse towards the chairman's platform where the chief examiner sat. He sheathed his sword, dismounted from his horse, and knelt before the chief examiner, saying, "Reporting to Sir, this student has killed 'Bie'!" The chief examiner, puzzled by the change in the atmosphere, pretended to be composed and said in an official tone, "What's so remarkable about killing a 'Bie'?" Wang Ting replied, "I killed a person named 'Bie'!" Only then did the chief examiner realize the truth. Seeing Wang Ting's handsome and dignified appearance, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for his talent. He briefly inquired about the reason for killing 'Bie' and with a snort from his nostrils, he slowly said, "When you kill someone, you must pay with your own life!" However, he tilted his head and gave Chen Wang Ting a stern look, indicating that he should leave quickly. Wang Ting understood and bowed to the chief examiner, then swiftly mounted his horse. With a flick of his legs and a tug on the reins, the red horse's hooves kicked up dust as it galloped away from the field.

Chen Style Tai Chi is the best exercise for children and Young Kid.

Because practicing Chen-style Tai Chi Quan adopts abdominal breathing, which requires gentle inhalation and long exhalation. This breathing method allows the inhaled qi to converge into the spine, without protruding the chest forward. Instead, the chest should contract inward with inhalation. During exhalation, the internal qi descends and sinks below the navel to the Guan Yuan acupoint. This breathing method conforms to the physiological circulation pattern of the human body and enhances the requirements of physiological circulation. It increases blood circulation and provides sufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, promoting effective relaxation of the brain.

The three stages of Chen Style Tai Chi -2

One movement is one movement, difficult to seamlessly connect, continuous and uninterrupted. When practicing, there should be variations in speed, alternating between fast and slow. Fast should not be scattered, slow should not be stagnant. The whole body should be coordinated, unified in one breath. Even if the postures are correct, the timing is accurate, and the breathing for each movement is accurate, and the understanding of the purpose and application of each movement is clear, it does not immediately progress to the second stage. It is necessary to gradually eliminate the stiffness in the body through repeated refinement. This process takes two to three years. Only when all aspects are correct and the original stiffness in the body is eliminated can one ascend to the stage of understanding Jin. The second stage: the stage of understanding Jin.

Practicing Tai Chi promotes the health and longevity of the human body.

Life depends on movement, which is the truth of health and longevity. Exercise brings about specific changes within the body, promoting overall health and longevity.

Human existence involves not only physical and chemical processes but also physiological and psychological changes. Each of these changes directly or indirectly affects the body. Exercise helps to mediate and balance these changes, making them beneficial to the body's health. There are four elements to human health: emotions, nutrition, exercise, and the appropriate supplementation of nutrients.
