Looking back at the footage, Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan reminded once again of the true essence of Taijiquan that over 40 years traveling across Malaysia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia, and beyond to teach.
Many people spend their lives searching for superior "kung fu" through brute force and physical strength. But true Taijiquan is never about contesting force with force (dòu lì 斗力).
The essence of Taijiquan is found in one single word: Emptiness (Kōng 空).
When you truly understand Taijiquan, you realize there is no rigid form, no fixed stance, no resistance. You must become empty, empty like the air, supple like water.
Total emptiness inside and out, front, back, left, and right.
When an opponent tries to strike or push, they should encounter nothing to grab or lean on, as if pushing against empty space.
You train Taijiquan when eating, walking, and reading, it becomes a continuous state of mind and body.
To reach this state, physical skill alone is not enough. It requires psychological alignment, physical principles, natural talent, and above all, humility. Without humility, true progress stops.
And above all, remember that our practice is rooted in health and cultivated character. Wealth and high position mean nothing if health is lost.
His wish remains as it has always been, keep practicing sincerely, treat others well, cultivate genuine passion (qíng 情), and preserve this priceless heritage of traditional culture.
重温这段珍贵的影像资料,黄性贤老师再次阐明了他四十多年来奔波于马来西亚、台湾、新西兰、澳大利亚等地悉心传授的太极拳真谛。
许多人穷尽一生,试图通过拙力与强劲的体魄去追求所谓的“神功”。然而,真正的太极拳绝非与人角力、以力相拼(斗力)。
太极拳的精髓,全在于一个字:空。
当你真正领悟了太极拳,就会明白它并无死板的招式、固定的马步或硬性的对抗。你必须让自己完全空掉,—像空气般无形,像流水般顺应。
前后左右,里里外外,全身透空。
当对手试图发力击打或推挤时,应感觉无处着力、无依无靠,如同击打在虚空之中。
吃饭是练拳,走路是练拳,看书亦是在练拳——太极已融入日常的言行举止与身心状态之中。
要达到这种境界,仅靠体能与技法是远远不够的。它需要心理学与物理学的融会贯通、天资悟性,以及最重要的,—谦虚。若无谦虚之心,功夫便再难进益。
最重要的是,切记我们的修习是以健康和养德为本。倘若失去健康,纵有万贯家财、至高名利,亦不过是一场空。
老师的夙愿一如既往:愿大家真诚习练,善待他人,涵养真情,共同守护并传承这份无价的中华传统文化瑰宝。
