Structure,Embodied Meaning and Vitalistic Meaning of Taijiquan Routines

太极拳架是太极文化的载体,是学练感悟太极拳的重要依托方式。然而工具理性时代,太极拳遭异化,拳架运动逐渐形式化,缺憾内成。在中国式现代化话语体系下,厘清太极拳架练法、厘正其内涵,方能使其更好地贡献技艺与文化智慧。首先,分析传统太极拳架构造,厘清其归圆意旨、八方应对的架构、中正掤圆的架骨、中定浑圆的架风,此既是拳架修习旨要和太极拳身整与劲运的结构基础,也是人体太极图式建构的要义。其次,探究太极拳架的蕴化理义,廓清其健康普适的体练价值,化身成拳的理法志趣,连绵轻灵的劲法准则,性命双修的内化义理,此反映拳架运动大众化的架貌、身体化的架意、功夫化的架势、艺术化的架蕴,也揭示修习意义,即基础学练可获架貌,明其运化方知架意,研悟其中可得兼备劲法的架势,以自然为理可得性命双修的架蕴。最后,指明拳架研悟修持所具的生命学意涵,即“身心并作、阴阳相济、和光同尘、乐物而通”,可得劲动如水的生命修习体认;“以劲为法、由技入哲、体用结合、修思交证”,可获静水流深的生命境界化。身体、功夫、艺术、性命、生命系一身,深刻诠释太极拳架运动的内涵与其中国式的文化特质。

Taijiquan routines are the carrier of Taijiquan culture and an important way for people to learn and practice Taijiquan.However,in the era of instrumental rationality,Taijiquan has been alienated,and Taijiquan routines have been formalized and become defective.Under the modernized Chinese discourse system,it is necessary to clarify the practice of Taiji routines and correct its connotation,so as to enable it to better contribute to the skills and cultural wisdom.First of all,analyzing the structure of traditional Taiji routines and clarify the intention of returning to the circle,the structure of responding to the eight directions,the skeleton of the arrow-quiver circle,and the style of the frame of the center and the circle.This is the principle of practicing the routine,the structural foundation of Taijiquan’s body and power movement,and also the key point of constructing the human body’s Taijiquan pattern.Secondly,exploring the underlying rationale of Taiji routines and clarify the value of healthy and universal practice,the rationale and interest of transforming the body into a fist,the guidelines of continuous and light strength,and the internalized rationale of the dual cultivation of life.This reflects the popularized appearance,physical meaning,kung fu posture,and artistic content of the set.Finally,it indicate the vitalistic connotations of the study and practice of the Taiji routines:The life cultivation and realization of body and mind working together,the harmony of yin and yang,the harmony of light and dust,the joy of things and the understanding of life;the life realmization of using strength as the method,moving from skill to philosophy,combining body and use,and the intersection of cultivation and thought.The body,kung fu,art and life are all in one,which profoundly interprets the connotation of Taiji routines and its Chinese cultural qualities.
