拳论有云:“详推用意终何在,益寿延年不老春。”又云:“专武事者,不为养生而成者,小成也。”养生功夫,是太极拳不可缺少的一个重要组成部分。尽管太极拳套路本身已寓锻炼于其中,练中含养,养练一体。我们通过对古代及近代一些太极大师的寿命观察,发现有那么多的太极高手,本应延寿益年,却于五十几岁、六十几岁(包括正宗传人在内)就撒手人寰。在我们赞叹他们功夫上乘的同时,也让我们为之扼腕痛惜。痛惜他们的武功随生命之终结而烟飞灰灭,更痛惜他们生命如此暂短。翻阅他们的人生旅程,这些寿夭者尽管有着社会环境、经济状况、身体素质等诸多方面的原因所致,但究其根本,还是偏执一隅所致。社会环境,对于大家是一样的,平等的。即便是个体有差别,也在于个人处置是否得当。文化大革命中有那么多枪林弹雨中的老革命,受尽煎熬者不在少数,他们也没练什么太极拳,不也照样享有高寿终年吗?经济状况好坏参半,生活条件不 Boxing goes: “It is intended to push the end details, longevity is not old age. ” And cloud: “military experts who are not for the health of those small into. ” Health Kung Fu, is tai chi Indispensable an important part.
