Before the age of 12, a person's yang energy has not been released, and he is in an innate state of pure yang. The purpose of zhanzhuang is to cultivate the inner innate state of the body.

Many people are a little confused about breathing. In fact, there is no need to pay special attention to breathing when standing. After practicing for a long time and getting it right, breathing will naturally become long and gentle.

Many people breathe heavily. Heavy breathing indicates that the person's troubles are serious. If you practice Zhanzhuang and breathe softly, your mind will become purer and you will have fewer messy thoughts.

Generally speaking, you can start standing for a short period of time and then move to a long period of time, that is, you can stand for 10 minutes at the beginning, then you can stand for half an hour to 40 minutes, and then you can stand for an hour.

The more you stand, the more relaxed your body will be. The more relaxed your body is, the more comfortable you will feel. Later, you will feel that you have to stand every day, so that your whole body will stretch.

It is not difficult to learn Zhan Zhuang, but it is difficult to persist. There are many objective reasons for not persisting. The reason why it is said to be objective reasons is that after all, when practicing, you are willing to Zhan Zhuang in your heart. It can also be said that you are willing subjectively, because of some kind of reason. Due to objective reasons, I didn’t stick to it.

When it comes to persistence, there is nothing to talk about, because fundamentally speaking, whether a person can persist depends on whether a person has such will and perseverance. Of course, this is generally speaking.

Zhanzhuang is undoubtedly a practice. If you can't stick to Zhanzhuang, the biggest objective reason may be that you don't have time for this or that. Regarding this issue, in fact, no matter how busy people are, as long as they still need to sleep, then sleep less and use this time. Stand a little longer.

But as a person, we are indeed somewhat lazy. How to fight against our own laziness depends on the individual.

But if you want to persevere, you should not regard zhanzhuang as a practice, but as life.

Because if you regard zhanzhuang as practicing Qigong, then practicing Qigong will sometimes become a burden. You should practice it when it is suitable, and not practice when it is not suitable. There will be a choice whether to practice it or not.

But if you regard zhanzhuang as life, then you have no choice, because life is like this, you have to live it, but you have to live it, you can't escape, you can't hide.

In fact, in the past, many masters taught their disciples not to let them stand, and started to box directly.

However, sometimes when you reach a certain level of boxing, you feel that there is some bottleneck, and you will start to stand still to find the feeling. In other words, in the past, zhanzhuang was not "necessary" or "unnecessary".

Today, the first step in practicing traditional martial arts is to stand first. News circulating on the Internet makes zhanzhuan extremely serious. It seems that you cannot practice martial arts without standing.

But this is not the case. In the old society, the inheritance of martial arts was guaranteed by talents, because at that time, martial arts could make a living. At that time, martial arts was equivalent to a technology and a craft. As long as you practiced well , you don’t have to worry about life.

In this case, there are naturally many people practicing martial arts, and most of them are willing to put in their efforts because it is related to their own livelihood.

Masters have sufficient sources of students, but a person's energy is limited. Under this premise, masters must select those with the best qualifications to be their apprentices. Qualifications include understanding, physical condition, and martial arts foundation.

The effect that most of the zhanzhuang attempts to achieve is actually to improve the basic quality of the body.

Today, this is the reason why zhanzhuang has become a common entry requirement. Today, martial arts has basically become a hobby. Even if you practice well, it is difficult to make a living from it. As a result, the number of practitioners has been greatly reduced, and the practitioners are mainly enthusiasts.

The source of students for the masters has become very tight. It is no longer possible to select apprentices as carefully as before. The only way is to cast a net and teach anyone who wants to learn.

As a result, the quality of the students has dropped significantly compared to before, and the overall physical fitness of the practitioners is far inferior to that in the past. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the basic physical fitness through stances, otherwise it will be impossible to practice high-intensity boxing.

Zhang Lan talked for a while, but before he finished speaking, Cheng Liqiang on the side could no longer hold on and began to retreat. Zhang Lan smiled when he saw this and said: "Do you have ten minutes? For your physical fitness, you should just stand first and practice traditional martial arts later. If your physical fitness is not up to it, you will not only be unable to exercise your body by learning traditional martial arts, but also You might hurt yourself."

"Take your time, take your time. If I can't do intense training, I'll have no problem practicing Tai Chi."

"Hey, by the way, you said that this stance has many benefits and is easy to practice. Why hasn't it been promoted?" Cheng Liqiang changed the subject.

Zhang Lan has actually discussed this. Any sport suitable for promotion should probably have several characteristics: the method is simple and easy to master. It’s fun or has a quick effect on strengthening your body.

Running, basketball, table tennis, and badminton all meet the requirements, but standing does not actually meet the requirements.

On the surface, Zhanzhuang maintains the same posture, but in fact it is not easy to reach the standard. No matter which sect, the basic movement essentials of Zhanzhuang include many requirements, such as hanging the head in the air, holding the imaginary spirit, slightly retracting the lower jaw, touching the tongue to the upper palate, sinking the shoulders and elbows, holding the inside and outside, holding the chest and pulling the back, and the tail Zhongzheng, feet seem to be rooted, etc.

These essentials are not like running that comes naturally, or shooting movements that can be intuitively demonstrated and followed by imitation, but require understanding through feeling.

Many people have memorized all the mantras, and the movements seem to be correct, but they never relax. They use "clumsy force" and become a "dead end". They fail to achieve the purpose of activating the meridians and stimulating internal energy, and finally give up.

Zhan Zhuang looks simple and easy to practice, but the core of it is like "sinking shoulders and elbows", "regulating breath and mind", "grasping the balance point", "forming whole strength" and so on. Just looking at the language, it is really mysterious. And mysterious.

Many people don't realize it at all after practicing for a short time, and their shoulders are sore when they stand, thinking this is a lie.

Something that is too difficult to master cannot be promoted. Zhanzhuang requires one posture to remain still for a long time. In fact, this fact can put off more than 90% of people because it is too boring.

The human brain likes new and changing things, and the standard stance also requires silence, which is even more unbearable.

In addition, even if you really like zhanzhuang, the effect of zhanzhuang on strengthening your body can only be seen if you persist for a long time.

This is unacceptable to people who prefer immediate feedback and pursue immediate results, but most ordinary people are of this type.

On the other hand, if you talk about running, you can feel the comfort of blood circulation even if you sweat profusely. Therefore, even if you can't persist, you can still get the pleasure of exercise by running occasionally.

Zhanzhuang is impossible. Unless you are extremely talented, you will have all the essentials in place the first time you stand. Otherwise, it will really take several months to notice any obvious feelings.

In fact, meditation also has the same characteristics. Therefore, no matter how you say it, zhanzhuang is still a very niche sport in real life.
