Practicing boxing pays attention to five aspects of movements: hand, eye and body, and "eye method" ranks second, which should not be underestimated. There is also a saying in Wushu called "The Method of Hundred Boxing, Taking the Purpose as the Foundation", which highly emphasizes the importance of the "Eye Method" and puts it in an important position in the outline.

Eyes are the seedlings of the soul, eyes are the light of God, and eyes convey the spirit. Without God, there is no outline, without God, there is no owner, which does not reflect the basic essentials of the master of the heart.

So what is Tai Ji Chuan's "eye method"?

Eye method is a method of reasonable transportation when walking with fists, pushing hands to attack or transport equipment, and eyes properly cooperate with various tangible movements and intangible spirits.

Eyes, the whole body is absorbed in the eyes, and the eyes fully reflect the spiritual outlook of mind and body, hands and feet, up and down, inside and outside, limbs and whole body. The so-called "god gathers in the eyes" and "unity of form and spirit" refers to the eyes.

In the Qing Dynasty, I copied the ancient spectrum "Personal Taiji Solution": "The whole body of a person is dominated by the heart, and the heart also dominates Taiji. Two eyes are the sun and the moon, that is, two instruments. " Another day: "God is born of the heart, and the eyes are seedlings of the heart." This shows that the whole body is dominated by the heart, and the eyes symbolize the sun and the moon, which are two instruments.

Our eyes are an important part of our bodies. They help us to see the outside world clearly.

The eyes are the seedlings of the mind. When you have thoughts in your heart and thoughts in your heart, the external eyes will immediately appear. Eyes can be vivid and reflect psychological dynamics. Tai Ji Chuan should keep his heart in front of him, lead his hand with his eyes, convey his spirit with his eyes, turn his eyes with his hands, and follow his eyes.

Whenever the action goes in the predetermined direction, the eyes are always a little ahead of the hands, and then the posture, footwork and technique follow. As Mr. Gu said: "In the blink of an eye, the whole body moves, starting with intention, then moving in, and then moving in shape.

With this detailed understanding, we can gradually realize the unity of heart, eyes, body, hands and steps, and when we talk together, we can talk and act together. "Boxers all say that' practicing boxing should have spirit'. How to have spirit is mainly to look at the eyes.

Eyes are very important, eyes are full of spirit. You shouldn't sleep with glare or blur. Close your eyes and practice boxing for peace, which is demoralizing.

Turn your eyes and guide your hands with your eyes, but don't stare at your hands all the time. Look further and take care of the top, bottom, left and right. Keep your eyes straight, not your feet. "Tai Ji Chuan is known as" Siping Boxing ",that is, his heart is flat, his eyes are flat, his head is flat and his shoulders are flat.

Among them, "eye level" is very important and contributes to "heart level", which means "top level". "Eye level" and "top level" ensure that the chin is slightly retracted and the collar is lifted.

"Peace of mind means righteousness, flat eyes mean righteousness, flat head means right, and flat shoulders mean right." It explains in detail how to adjust the order of heart, eyes, top and shoulders step by step to achieve correct posture and dignified posture, so as to stabilize your center of gravity and not deviate from the "chassis".

Maintain a neutral and balanced position and remain invincible forever. This shows how important it is to look straight into the eyes. Only by focusing on one side can we focus on one side.

If the eyes are not focused, the strength will be loose, and the boxing will be lifeless, let alone imposing manner. Classical opera actors attach great importance to "eye training", and some even set up incense tables and light a wick in the room. Their eyes move slowly from near to far in the direction of cigarettes drifting in the air, and their eyes do not move, and eye training is regarded as an important basic course.

Traditional Tai Ji Chuan should achieve the following five points in the "eye method"

First, be calm.

"Eye method" is * *, which is actually "eye method" and "mind method". "The heart is the divine mansion" and "the eyes are the seedlings of the heart", all of which are the experience and wisdom of Tai Chi predecessors.

"The heart is God's home" tells us that the heart is where God lives, and God is restless, that is, "God" does not rest in his heart, but wanders outside. "Eyes are the seedlings of the mind" means that eyes are the windows of the mind and can reflect your mind.

If inner peace is absorbed, you can naturally reflect your vitality through your eyes. If the heart and eyes are not in harmony, or if the eyes and actions are not in harmony, there will be a phenomenon of "wandering" in which the heart and hands are unresponsive, the gods are out of control, the whole body is out of control, and the six gods are out of control. Therefore, to practice "eye method" is to practice "mind method" in a certain sense.

Second, keep your eyes open and look inward.

Keep your eyes straight ahead on the premise that your chin is slightly retracted and your body is upright. "Eye-pleasing" means that the eyes should "look inward", the eyes should be slightly retracted, and the eyes should be covered with each other's eyes. Eyes should look straight ahead and look natural.

Don't be sleepy, close your eyes and practice boxing, and don't bow your head. Don't mistake "keeping eyes" for eyes hanging down, and mechanically apply the "eye method" requirement of Qigong regimen to Tai Ji Chuan. When practicing boxing, your eyes are blind, just like a blind man touching an elephant.

Third, hold hands with your eyes and put your eyes first.

Holding hands with your eyes means holding the active hand with your eyes, looking forward in the direction of the main hand and taking care of the other hand with the corner of your eye.

Take care of your eyes, but don't stare at the hands in front of you like a monkey looking in the mirror, forming a dull phase. In addition, if the dominant hand leaves the eye level range, it can be ignored.

Fourth, the head, skills and eyes should be coordinated.

When talking about the eye method, Teacher Fu Zhongwen once said, "When looking straight, you should be focused and lively. When every style changes, the eyes should follow, and the eyes should not be dull and careless. "

When walking in boxing, the head should rotate with the direction of the main hand, and the eyes should look up with the direction of the main hand. The rotation direction of eyes should be consistent with the rotation direction of the body, so as to follow up and down, connect front and back, take photos from left to right, and combine inside and outside to enhance the integrity of the boxing frame.

Fifth, we should "concentrate on our eyes"

It is to concentrate all the energy in the eyes, and concentrate all the light around the light bulb like a flashlight, so that it can emit bright light, which shines bright and far, with strong penetration.

When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, one should be heart-to-heart, concentrate on eyes, body and spirit, think about boxing, keep boxing, pay attention to boxing, concentrate on watching boxing, and make the other person shudder.

Conclusion: Tai Ji Chuan is a profound kung fu, and more and more people are practicing Tai Ji Chuan. In the process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we need to keep our eyes moving. At any time, we need to be highly focused. I believe that after reading the above, you must have a profound understanding of how to use your eyes when practicing Tai Ji Chuan.
