On The Discharge Of Integrative Jin In Taijiquan

Referring to Taijiquan, especially "Jin", we can't help thinking of a saying: "Taijipractice the ideas not the strength". Whereas someone who comprehend profoundly thesignificance of Taijiquan all know that the words isn't deny the existence of strength inTaijiquan, but emphasizes that the strength in Taijiquan is not unhandy strength but "Jin" ofTaijiquan.Technical attack is the core of Taijiquan, and "Jin" is the core of technical attack. It isthe key to win the technical attack if we can obtain the integrative Jin and improve theefficiency of discharge. So it has become a puzzling problem for many Taijiquan players tolearn to use the integrative Jin of Taijiquan. We all know that theory guids practice. A goodlearner is sure to pay attention to theory. If one wants to learn Taijiquan well, he must masterthe theories fist. Taijiquan is very rich and profound. It has formed a whole basic theorysystem, from theory to practice, from the outside movement to the inside transformation ofJin. Only with the support of Taijiquan theories, can we obtain the great effect of "the weakovercoming the strong". Although the discharge forms of integrative Jin are varies, thesignification is same. The discharge of integrative Jin also possesses a set of good technicaltheory system. Only when we comprehend and master the theory of discharge integrative Jin,apprehend the internal rules of it, can we acquire twice the result with half the effort.By analyzing the investigation of predecessors, we can find that theories on Taijiquanintegrative Jin are brief but complicated. Though modern literature of Taijiquan has manystatements about discharge Taijiquan integrative Jin of Taijiquan, there is no independentresearch system on it. It is only a few theses about the Taijiquan integrative Jin in theexisting academic thesis, and mostly theses concern a certain aspect of it. The study is alsoquite shallow.This paper adopts methods of documents, expert interview and synthetic analysis.Based on the classical Taijiquan works and the achievements of modern Taijiquan specialists,the thesis explains and analysizes the discharge of Taijiquan integrative Jin theoretical formmany aspects, and so make it a relative independent and integrated theory system. The thesisalso gives a systematic study and demonstration of the difference between Jin and strength,the type and characteristic of Jin, endured states of the human body, and the factor that affectthe discharge of Jin on the modern science foundation, with hope to perfect Taijiquan systemand provide theoretic guidance for Taijiquan players.By systematic research and analysis, the author considers that Jin and force are notseparated conceptions, Jin contains modern science elements. The characteristic of Taijiquangives Jin integrative feature. "Unity of Integrality" to Jin of Taijiquan contains two meanings:one is harmony and unity about all parts of human body, both outside and inside, the other isthe harmony of Jin, internal and external.The discharge of Taijiquan integrative Jin should be guided by certain theory: the mindslead the Qi, the Qi runs all over the body, the Qi needs to be stirred;the spirit should becontrolled, all the body light and flexible;heart as order, Qi as banner, waist as axis. Thefundamental principle of Taijiquan provides powerful guidance for the discharge ofintegrative Jin from different aspects: Jin is the core, the integration of Jin, all parts arepassed through by Jin, the harmony of the whole body, the reconciliation between Yin-Yangetc. The "three-section" theory is the basis of movement and Jin, we should know the threesections: tip, middle and root, and act according to the theory so as to embody the Taijiquanintegrative Jin.The key of the discharge of Jin is the practical effect. We can improve the effect it fromtwo aspects: one is to reduce the consumption of the Jin in the body the other is to increasethe hitting efficiency as much as possible. Both of them are supplements each other. Keepcorrect postures (such as stand mid-straight, upward head and straight neck, sink shoulderand drop elbow, easy finger and inflect wrist, inner chest and stretch back, loose waist andconstringe buttocks, round-crotch and vertical coccyx, wrap knee and paw toes, one bodypossess five bows), keep relaxed mind and body and associated with breathe can help toreduce the waste of the Jin. To increase the hitting effect, we should first understand Jin,know the source, the sort, the route, the hitting point, and then following the order and rulessuch as rule of forming Jin, storing of Jin and discharging of Jin, seize the right opportunity,direction and time, then discharge the integrative Jin abruptly.
