"There are many forms and characteristics of Taiji techniques. The Three Shakes and Three Pendants Tai Chi Method was a Tai Chi master of the present age. Professor Tian Jinlong of Yangzhou University had researched the essence of Tai Chi from various schools and created a method system after analyzing the techniques and theories. It had a strong actual combat competitive effect and training effectiveness. There was also a pole-standing skill. The first step was shoulder-width wide, the feet were parallel to the front, and the hands were placed on both sides of the front of the hip. When practicing, one had to follow up and down, follow up and down, and open and close in contradiction. It included the core of Taiji Fist (open and close contradiction) and the five contradictions. It also involved problems such as storing strength, exerting strength, and breathing (abdominal reverse abdominal breathing). Mastering this skill was very helpful for learning Taiji Fist routines. It could make every movement match the frequency, follow up and down, open and close, loose and tight. The Southern Sect had the Dual Cultivation Tai Chi Technique, and there were corresponding standard books compiled. The Taiji Golden Thread Wrapping the Wrist was also a classic Taiji Fist technique. It could be used for both training and recuperation. It only needed to be practiced for 10 minutes a day. From the point of view of Taiji (created by Ma Tangtang), it was a Qigong Daoyin technique that adopted simple and easy postures from Taiji Fist and Xingyi Fist and closely cooperated with breathing. It emphasized the principle of using will to lead qi, using qi to assist movement, using movement to guide qi, and using qi to complete the practice. The basic formulas included Wuji, Taiji, and many other formulas. The movements were required to be natural, gentle, and slow, with qi flowing through the four ends, and both dynamic and static. Through the combination of internal and external, it achieved the goal of strengthening the body, repairing the deficiency, strengthening the body, eliminating evil, and prolonging life. It was infused with the theory of "the unity of heaven and man", using the traditional medical meridian theory and the principle of the transformation of yin and yang and the five elements. Breathing and movement were closely coordinated. In addition, the founder of Taiji Fist, Zhang Sanfeng, had passed down many versions of Taiji Fist. Taiji Fist was a traditional martial art that could strengthen the body and could also be used to defend against enemies. The novel "Battle of Yin and Yang" is equally exciting.

"Tai Chi techniques include many aspects. Judging from the basic techniques of the body, there was a "hanging up and sinking down, relaxing the middle section". Among them,"Shang" referred to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head,"Xia" referred to the heel, palm, toe and other parts supported by a corner, and the middle was "Zhong Jie". When practicing boxing, the collar on the top of the head seems to be suspended by a rope at the Baihui acupoint, relaxing the muscles and joints of the middle section, allowing them to be pulled by gravity to sink, so that the hands and feet have a sense of heaviness. The human body is pulled long, the joints are opened, the chest and abdomen are wide and relaxed, and the middle section can operate flexibly. This technique is also used to deal with the relationship between any three adjacent joints, such as hanging the head, loosening the shoulders, sinking the elbows, etc., which can make the whole body relax, and the energy flow into the hands and feet. In terms of dynamic basic techniques, there were "moving in the middle and rotating the shaft and wheel". The " Thirteen Stances " of Taiji Fist had finally been stabilized. It was one of the " Thirteen Stances " and also the foundation of the other twelve Stances. There were three forms of "moving in the middle": one was to maintain the "middle" state when the body moved, and the center of gravity moved in the support surface. When moving, the center of gravity moved first and then the foot was lifted. During the movement, the center of gravity was maintained in the middle of the support surface, and the center of gravity moved after a new support surface was formed. The second was to maintain the "middle" state, and the center of gravity moved parallel. In addition, there are other techniques such as virtual spirit pushing strength, qi sinking into the dantian, chest hunchback, loose waist and buttocks, round crotch loosening crotch, sinking shoulders and falling elbows, relaxing posture and sitting wrist, traveling in the middle, easy and ancient inside, comfortable outside, exercise as if it was walking, such as hair walking, back and forth need to be folded, advance and retreat need to be converted, movement and stillness have regular things, things are uniform, everything is connected continuously, everything must be round, there is nothing to be mysterious, the heart must be calm, there is nothing to have distracting thoughts, intention does not exert strength and so on. From the perspective of Taiji Sanshou, it was an extension of Taiji Pushing Hands technique and the highest form of Taiji Kung Fu. The improvement of Sanshou Kung Fu needed to be based on the training of boxing and pushing hands. The improvement involved the training of boxing, single form, pushing hands, internal strength, speed and other aspects. Boxing, pushing hands, and Sanshou were the trinity of Taiji Kung Fu. In Tai Chi combat, Listening Force was the first basic skill. It emphasized understanding the enemy's intention through the contact points of the whole body. When fighting, one should first use the Qi Force to respond to the opponent's force. Qi Force extended seven kinds of forces, and a total of eight forces were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. They could change endlessly according to the changes of the enemy. At the same time, he could also master the Tai Chi technique by practicing the ability to accommodate, swallow, guide, and transform. The novel " Battle of Yin and Yang " is equally exciting.
