Why I Learned Taijiquan

In the evening, walking alone with leisurely steps to Longhu Park, neon lights under the flowers and grasses do not seem to be less colorful than the bright green sunshine. Accompanied by the melodious square dance music, there are a group of people exercise fitness, but feel more lively than the daytime quiet green grass and flowers.

Walking to the center of the lake, rows of white tai chi suit wearing the old people in a row to play the Yang style tai chi 85, once practiced the Yang style 24, feel every move is so familiar, unknowingly stood in the team slowly follow them to gesture up.

There is a very interesting story about why we learned Taijiquan in the first place.

We are the birthplace of Yang-style Taijiquan, and there is the former residence of Yang Lu Chan, a generation of Taijiquan masters, and Wu Yuxiang, the founder of Wu-style Taijiquan. Every year will receive a lot of foreign tour groups to worship masters seeking to learn boxing, that year just to travel agency work soon I received a German taijiquan group of 25 people, as a ground tour guide, often hanging on the side of the mouth of a classic statement is: "up to 99 years old old, down to the children can just walk will play taijiquan." To describe the uniqueness of the Taiji Holy Land.

As soon as the words fell, the foreign guests showed a surprised expression, and then a guest could not wait to ask: "Sophia. do you practiseTaijichuan? (Note: Sophia is my English name) "I do everyday." (Every day, I play it.) "could you teach us tomorrow morning?" (That tomorrow morning you can teach us?) For some reason, I answered "Certainly! No problem!)

But who would have thought that the Germans, as we all know, are very serious about what they do, and they do what they say they are going to do. The next morning, they are on time downstairs waiting for me as a "boxer". In fact, I have not practiced taijiquan before, what can we do? It is not easy to take back the words I bragged! I was so anxious that I had to call my taijiquan master friend to save the day.

This incident gave me a blow is not small, and later and colleagues said this embarrassing, they all laughed at my youthful arrogance. The first thing I did was to ask my colleagues to take a look at the case of a man who had been in the middle of a fight.

I know that in order to become a good tour guide, in addition to solid professional skills, but also must have a wide range of knowledge, from this point of view I still have a serious shortage. If you want to go farther and farther on this road of tour guide, you still need to learn a variety of knowledge. In particular, we receive more professional team, more should become a scholar, expert tour guide, and tourists have **** the same language and hobby, familiar with their professional knowledge, in order to better complete the reception task.

? Inner Accepted this profound lesson, ? Subsequently, I worked hard to systematically learn boxing with a taijiquan master every day, and after a year, I became very skillful in boxing.

Nowadays, every year when invited to serve as a national tour guide qualification oral examination judges, will sincerely advise the young people who are about to enter the tourism industry: tourists come from different industries and fields, to learn more about various aspects of knowledge, master a variety of talents, skills do not pressure body. Tour guides are supposed to be omnivorous, what kind of knowledge should know a little bit. Only in this way can become a tourists heart trustworthy tour guide.

Because of these years of regular practice of taijiquan, impatient temper, anxiety, impatience of the heart have changed. At the same time, the principle of tai chi: "four two pounds" "to soften the hard" applied to the life and work, have received particularly good results.
