A time-honored brand established in 1988

The Songquan team is engaged in the battle against the epidemic with Tai Chi.Let’s continue to share the practice experiences and health insights of several boxing enthusiasts.

Zhu Bo:

Respect the heart and respect the world; purify the heart and cultivate righteousness

At the end of the year of Ji Hai and the beginning of the Year of Geng Zi, it is a time when the year is coming to an end and the whole country is celebrating together. In the vast expanse of the universe, all living things follow the laws of nature. The Taiji and Yin and Yang alternate, waxing and waning. We are arrogant, acting against the natural order and going beyond the rules. In today’s world, although there is an eternal prosperity, people are rebellious and obsessed, thus suffering all kinds of disasters. Drought, floods, mountain fires, and toxic epidemics – all the people in the world are in peril.

In the face of the virus, the sons and daughters of China, from the north to the south, have united as one, stood firm with a strong will, and vowed to win the battle! But this is a symptomatic treatment, not a fundamental solution. From ancient times to the present, those who follow the way of nature have enjoyed prosperity, while those who go against it have suffered misfortune. The way of Tai Chi is born without the ultimate. One gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to all things. All things return to their original state and nature. The natural transformation of heaven and earth harmonizes Yin and Yang, and the world enjoys peace.

I was originally rather dull, but fortunately, I was wrongly loved by my respected teacher and entered the Tai Chi lineage of the Chen family. This is the greatest fortune of my life. Chen Family Tai Chi, drawing on the principles of Yin and Yang opening and closing in Tai Chi and in harmony with the way of the transformation of all things in heaven and earth, is the pinnacle of world culture. The eight-character maxim that enables practitioners to achieve “health, happiness, joy and longevity” is the blessing of cultivation.

One day, I asked: “By promoting the Dao and cultivating righteousness, can one righteousness avoid all evil?” The teacher said, “One right gives birth to all evil, one right nourishes all evil, and one right corrects all evil.” Hearing this was like a sudden enlightenment, and I was filled with boundless admiration. Only by knowing the right can one know the wrong; only by correcting can one know the right and the wrong; only by being true can one be truly evil. All of us should follow the teachings of our teachers, carry on the lost learning of the sages of the past, promote the Dao and cultivate righteousness. When one is upright, all evil will be eradicated. This is the right path and the way to address the root cause.

Today, I vow to respect my heart and the world, to practice Tai Chi with a calm mind, and to cultivate righteousness with a pure heart. Day by day, without ceasing, there will eventually be a time of great achievement, to promote the world and save all beings.

May Master, Master’s wife, and all fellow practitioners in the world be in harmony with the path every day, make corrections every day, eventually achieve enlightenment, and always stay healthy!

He Weike

In a tiny space, the universe is vast and boundless

It is the time when spring turns to winter, but the epidemic is spreading everywhere.

There was panic all around, but we were not afraid.

When respecting teachers, it is often said that when one is upright, all evil can be avoided.

Call to stay at home and practice Tai Chi with a peaceful mind.

Although the eight methods are simple, the mind and body are cleansed.

As the winding threads transform, the Yin and Yang, the void and the solid change.

Daily practice leads to daily achievements, and daily practice results in daily corrections.

In a tiny space, the universe is vast and boundless.

Having learned Tai Chi from a master, I am now full of righteousness.

Cultivating righteousness and self-improvement brings peace; promoting the way brings good fortune to others.

Unite oneself, unite others, unite the world; strengthen oneself, strengthen others, strengthen the country.

The ancient sages’ lost learning is practiced by all. May God bless the land of China.

Liu Zili, Liu Ruiqi

When one realizes the true nature of the mind, attaining the Tao will come naturally

Liu Ruiqi’s seal engraving of “Attaining the Way of Nature”

My little daughter, Ruiqi, was taught by her mentor to practice martial arts without giving up. During the period of staying at home to fight the epidemic, she tried to practice seal engraving with her experience and wrote “Attaining the Way of Nature”, which also implies that nature is attaining the way of nature. The character “得道自然” originated from Huang Yi (1744-1802) and Chen Hongshou (1768-1822) of the Eight Masters of Xiling.

Liu Zili and his daughter Liu Ruiqi are practicing boxing at home

The character “道” (dao), “得” (de), “自” (zi), and “然” (ran) are used to inlay rhymes for the father to convey his meaning. Say:

All things are one, and the Dao gives rise to three.

The two instruments and four images are in the middle.

The five elements and six qi transform in an ordinary way.

Heaven and earth have no limits and follow nature.

Close the door and you’ll be in the deep mountains. Practice Tai Chi with a peaceful mind

The battle in Wuchang broke out and the whole people were on high alert. I stayed at home for over a month, reading, drinking tea and practicing Tai Chi. It’s a bit like the feeling of a master’s seclusion in Jin Yong’s novels.

The space at home is small and I can’t perform a complete set of continuous movements. So I focus on practicing basic skills such as the Eight Methods of Tai Chi.

And focus on practicing the important footwork in Tai Chi, experiencing the rotation of the waist span when the center of gravity changes. For example: moving forward (forward bend step), moving backward (backward roll), walking sideways (cloud hand), etc.
