论《老子》之“道”与太极拳的“理、法、功”

"Tao Theory" of Lao Tzu and "Theories,Methods,Skills" of Taijiquan

《老子》作为一部研究“道”的哲学著作,对作为体育学这门具体科学内容之一的太极拳学具有重要的指导作用。《老子》所阐述的“道”对太极拳的拳理、拳法以及功理法都具有深刻的影响。太极拳正是历代武术家主动使武术运动符合“道”的要求而创造出来的一门拳术。由于这种关系,人们在学练太极拳的过程中可以而且应该由太极拳之“技”进而明“理”,由太极拳之“理”进而悟“道”,不断自觉地提升人生的境界。

As a philosophy works, Lao Tzu have great guiding value to Taijiquan. ＂Tao theory＂ in the book have effect on the theories, methods, skills of Taijiquan. Martial artists create Wushu following ＂Tao theory＂, so people can reason from skills, and understand philosophy by reasoning when people exercise Taojiquan, step by step promote their development.
