Summer vacation is here, and the children have ushered in a long period of free time. In Wenxian County, the birthplace of Tai Chi, how are the children's holidays spent?
In the early morning of summer, the breeze is accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and on the west side of the cultural square, soothing and melodious music is heard. From a distance, a group of Tai Chi enthusiasts dressed in Tai Chi clothes and practicing Tai Chi carefully under the leadership of the teacher.
Momentum, King Kong pounding, lazy clothes...... Under the guidance of the teacher, the students began to have a sense of elegance in one move, and the standard level of action has reached five points.
"The biggest purpose of boxing is to regulate my breathing and blood circulation, so that I can relax, for me, the most important thing at present is to relax my body, regulate my breath, and welcome a new life in a new state." Wei Shuaichen, a high school graduate who is practicing seriously, said, "Tai Chi culture is a great treasure of traditional Chinese culture, and Wen County is the birthplace of Tai Chi. As a native of Wenxian County, I feel that it is necessary to systematically learn Tai Chi, so that in my future university life, I can not only strengthen my body through Tai Chi, but also spread Tai Chi culture to other students, so that everyone can understand, learn and spread Tai Chi."
Unlike Wei Shuaichen, Liang Minghui has been practicing Tai Chi for several years, and she chooses to practice Tai Chi with her teacher every year. After several years of practice, she started boxing, one move and one style is chic and elegant, quite stylish.
"This is my seventh year of practicing Tai Chi, and I first came to learn Tai Chi because I saw that others were very handsome when they were boxing, so I asked my parents to help me sign up for a summer school, and after a holiday of study, I liked Tai Chi even more." Liang Minghui said.
"Compared with usual, there are more people who come to learn Tai Chi in the summer, and the number of students exceeds 100 at the most, so they have to be divided into several sessions." Chen Zhaoxia, coach of Wenxian Chaoxia Taijiquan Promotion Center, said.
In Chenjiagou, there are more people who practice boxing in the summer, some of them are from Wenxian County, and some of them come to Wenxian from other places to learn boxing during the summer.
"I've watched Tai Chi on TV before. I thought this boxing method was very cool, and at the beginning I practiced a few times with the movements on TV, and then I felt that learning boxing could strengthen my body and enhance my physique, so I took advantage of this holiday to come to Chenjiagou and wanted to learn Tai Chi more systematically in a professional martial arts hall. Sun Shaoyang, a student from Qingdao, Shandong Province, said.
"At present, the class I teach, are all taking advantage of the holiday to learn, some of them are interested in Taijiquan, some have learned Taijiquan before, want to learn other routines of Taijiquan, all hope to learn Chen's Taijiquan through this holiday, enrich their holiday life, I also hope to let them appreciate the unique charm of Taijiquan during this holiday, and promote the further spread of Taiji culture." Tian Shaojie, coach of Chenjiagou International Taiji Institute, introduced.
In Wenxian County in the summer, squares, parks, and streets, the figures of Tai Chi practitioners are surging everywhere. Taijiquan inheritors and enthusiasts are using their own sweat to inherit this precious intangible cultural heritage, so that more people can understand and love Taijiquan.
