太极四章——兼与朱金高先生及其弟子论太极拳与太极精神

Taiji in Four Chapters──A Discussion of Taijiquan and the Spirit of the Supreme Ultimate with Mr. Zhu Jingao and His Students

中国的太极哲学是我们中华民族从人自身开始探索人、世界和宇宙的起源及其演化、发展的根本规律的思想结晶,其理论的科学性、系统性、深刻性、思辨性和太极图的符号性,在世界哲学中都是十分罕见的。但是,我们的太极哲学也还有需要进一步研究的地方。本文以周敦颐《太极图》、《太极图说》和历代先哲及太极拳宗师的学说为基础,结合自我的观察和思考,重新绘制了《太极图》,撰写了《太极图说》、《太极拳论》,还补写了《太极说》,并特别阐述了太极精神对人类文明特有的思想文化价值。文章认为,太极拳是迄今为止人类能够拥有的上乘拳法,只有太极哲学才能产生出如此高超的拳术,因此不了解太极拳也就不能真正了解中国的太极哲学。

The Chinese Supreme Ultimate philosophy is the essence of thoughts of the Chinese people that explores the basic laws of the origin, evolution and development of human beings, the earth and the universe from the exploration of human beings themselves. The scientific, systematic, profound and rectification nature of the theory and the symbolic nature of the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate are extremely rare in the world＇s philosophy. However, there is stin room for further research in the Supreme Ultimate philosophy. Based on Zhou Dunyu＇s ＂The Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate＂, ＂ On the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate＂ and the theories of the ancient philosophers as well as the masters of Taijiquan, the thesis provides, from the author＇s observation and thoughts, the new diagram for the Diagram Supreme Ultimate and the supplement of ＂ On the Supreme Ultimate＂ . It also deals with ＂On the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate＂ and ＂ On Taijiquan ＂ . In particular, the thesis elaborates the value in thoughts and euhure of the spirit of the Supreme Ultimate to human civilization. The author of the thesis holds that Taijiquan is the best Chinese boxing which can only derive from the Supreme Ultimate philosophy. As a result, the failure in understanding Taijiquan may lead to the failure in a true understanding of the Chinese Supreme Ultimate philosophy.
