    One night in early December, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the north wind howled overnight.  Snowflakes were floating down in large numbers, and by the time it was dawn, a thick layer had already fallen on the ground.  Wang Chao was woken up by the light of snow outside the window and thought it was dawn.  But after looking at the alarm clock on the bedside, I realized that it was only after five o'clock and I had woken up an hour early.  But Wang Chao has never been in the habit of staying in bed. He got dressed silently and took ten minutes to wash up. When he heard his parents sleeping in the next room making the sound of getting dressed, Wang Chao walked out.  Wang Chao is a sophomore in a high school in City C. He is sixteen years old this year.  He is of average height, looks ordinary, and has average academic performance. His family conditions are that his parents have already been laid off, and their combined monthly income does not exceed 2,000 yuan.  It is precisely because of all this that Wang Chao has a taciturn and introverted character.  Behind Wang Chao¡¯s house is a park. The park faces the river and is densely wooded. The place is remote and gloomy. There is a path in it that leads to the school.  Wang Chao likes to walk quietly alone and does not like the busy roads with cars.  I take this path every day to and from school.  The park was very quiet, with no one around. Only a few sparrows chirped and jumped around on the snow-covered treetops. From time to time, they shook the snow off the trees, which added a lot.  joy of life.  However, just as Wang Chao was slowly walking through a dense pine forest, he noticed a figure shaking inside.  "So early in the morning, people are out for activities?" Wang Chao was curious and tried his best to look into the woods.  It turns out that the person moving in the woods is a woman wearing a white sportswear, white running shoes, and a neat ponytail who is boxing.  This woman looks to be in her twenties, and her movements are slow and leisurely, as if she is doing Tai Chi, which is popular in society.  But after Wang Chao looked at it for a while, he discovered something different.  Wang Chao found that the woman¡¯s eyes were always staring at her moving fingers with all her concentration.  She always stretches out her hand slowly first, then grabs it with five fingers like a crosshair, and then quickly takes it back.  " Slowly reaching out and catching it quickly reminded Wang Chao of the action of catching fish when he was a child: first slowly put his hand into the water so that the fish would not notice it, and then when the distance was close, he suddenly took a handful.  The fish was caught.  Wang Chao also discovered that when the woman was punching, her body was constantly walking in circles, and her steps were always flat against the ground as she waded out, as cautiously as if she was wading in muddy water.  The woman's posture was not graceful, but between the movements, her whole body was moving, and her strength was applied to every place, giving Wang Chao a feeling of excitement.  Wang Chao was fascinated by what he saw, and he didn¡¯t know how long it had been.  The woman suddenly stopped moving, raised her hands between her eyebrows, then slowly pressed them down to her abdomen, lightly stepped her left foot on the ground, and exhaled a long breath.  Wang Chao clearly saw a long line of white air shooting straight out of the woman's mouth, like a sudden arrow of air.  "Can you vent your breath like this?" Wang Chao was very surprised when he saw this situation, and tried to blow out with all his strength.  It¡¯s a pity that when the exhaled breath met the cold air, it only formed a cloud of white mist in front of me.  Then it dissipated.  Wang Chao didn¡¯t believe it, so he blew a few more times, making his heart beat faster and his eyes flashing with gold, but still only puffs of white mist came out.  Just when Wang Chao was trying to breathe, the woman came over, smiled slightly, nodded, and said hello.  Then he walked out of the woods and walked to the other side.  When he arrived at school, Wang Chao didn¡¯t listen to any of the lessons throughout the day.  I always think about the scene of the boxing woman exhaling in the morning, and the more I think about it, the more magical it becomes.  He regretted very much that he did not go up to strike up a conversation.  The next morning, Wang Chao deliberately got up earlier. When passing by the park path, he still found the woman boxing.  Wang Chao walked closer this time and watched from outside the woods.  Although Wang Chao was watching from the edge of the woods, the woman continued to box without being disturbed. Until she finished a set of movements, she still raised her hands, pressed her abdomen, stepped on her feet, and exhaled.  When the breath she exhaled met the cold air, it still turned into a thin and long white line, shooting straight out far away.  Like an arrow.  After finishing the punch, the woman still nodded and smiled at Wang Chao, the judge, with a kind look on her face.  But he still didn't speak and left just like yesterday.  It was like this for several days. Wang Chao got up early every day and immediately ran to the park and woods to watch the woman boxing. He found that no matter how early he got up, the woman was always there.  But at six o'clock in the morning, I left on time.    Wang Chao plucked up the courage to strike up a conversation several times, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say them out.  Every time the woman finished punching, she would smile and nod to Wang Chao, her expression was still very kind, making Wang Chao feel like a big sister.  A week passed like this. Although the two of them did not speak, Wang Chao felt that they were familiar with each other. Finally, when the woman was about to leave, he went up to talk to her: "Sister, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?" The woman smiled: "I did it.  "It's a national martial art" Wang Chao has also read a lot of martial arts novels, and he only knows about random martial arts, such as "Nine Yin White Bone Claws", "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" and so on.  .  Wang Chao also knows that these things are fiction.  However, I have never heard of Chinese martial arts.  "But Wang Chao watched this woman's boxing practice for a week and thought it was amazing. It was much better than karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Sanda and the like outside.  "What is national martial arts?" Wang Chao asked.  The woman still smiled: "Martial arts that only kill enemies without performing are called national martial arts." After hearing this, Wang Chao felt more and more powerful, "Sister, can you teach me?" The woman looked at Wang Chao from top to bottom carefully.  , nodded, "You have been following me for a week, and you still have some perseverance. What is your name?" "My name is Wang Chao. I am sixteen years old and a sophomore in high school. What is my sister's name?" Wang Chao reported his name.  "My name is Tang Zichen." The woman always smiled.  Wang Chao discovered that the skin on Tang Zichen¡¯s face was smooth and flawless, just like jade.  "Your foundation is not good. You have never practiced before. Your waist, legs and feet are thin. If you want to learn, let me teach you the standing horse stance." "Standing the horse stance" Wang Chao heard a little big head: "Sister Chen  , in this city, do you still need to teach me?" "Oh! Then try standing up." Tang Zichen took two steps and motioned to Wang Chao to squat down.  Wang Chao immediately threw off his arms, squatted half-footed, raised his hands flat, and remained motionless, squatting evenly.  "Sister Chen, is that true?" Tang Zichen didn't speak, just looked at it with a smile.  After a while, Wang Chao¡¯s knees began to feel sore. After a while, his legs began to tremble and his waist became sore. Then his whole body became hot and he sweated on his forehead.  Wang Chao knew he couldn't hold on anymore, so he stood up and rubbed his sore knees, "Sister Chen, is that true?" Tang Zichen shook his head: "You will only strain your lumbar muscles if you stand motionless like this.  "Ma step, horse step, the important thing is to stand up like a horse." "Stand up like a horse?" Wang Chao didn't understand.  "Have you ever seen someone riding a horse?" Tang Zichen lost his smile. "A person is galloping on a horse, and his body rises and falls with the horse. Horse steps are the foundation of boxing learned by the sages from riding horses, so when standing, you should also  Standing up and down, a horse appears out of thin air. " "When a person makes a horse gallop, the ups and downs of strength are dependent on the horse, so it cannot be used as a kung fu. However, it is different on flat ground. Your ups and downs of strength are equal to the strength of the horse.  It's about integrating the horse into the body. If you stand motionless and put all your weight on your knees, you will definitely have problems with your knees. " "Is there another reason?" Wang Chao never thought of it.  The posture contains so many things.  "Look at how I squat." Tang Zichen said, and also took a horse stance. Wang Chao only saw her body rising and falling slightly, just like the waves in the water caused by the breeze.  "Come on, you come and squat." Tang Zichen demonstrated, and Wang Chao followed suit.  "When squatting, you must first reach the soles of your feet. When you stand up, the five fingers on the soles of your feet should be dug into the ground like chicken claws. Once the five toes dig in, they will affect the bones and muscles of the calf, and the knees will naturally stand up.  , Tighten your thighs, lift your waist, and tighten your abdomen. "This is the strength of the squat. Your feet should be like ducks and geese, and your fingers should be loosened.  "Abdominal bulging." "Between these slight ups and downs, keep changing the center of gravity of the whole body, so as to prevent the center of gravity from always falling in one place and causing physical damage." Wang Chaoyue felt more and more reasonable as he listened, and nodded repeatedly, looking at Tang Zichen.  If so, do it.  At the beginning, Wang Chao couldn't do this up and down at all, but Tang Zichen was by her side, and whenever Wang Chao's strength did not fall into place, she would kick him with her foot.  The place where Wang Chao was kicked felt like acupuncture, his muscles were stimulated, and all the strength in his body clicked into place.  "The amplitude of the ups and downs should not be large, just one inch apart from your toes. As you rise and fall, you must always squat accurately within this inch distance."?The more precise the better!  "Tang Zichen was very strict when teaching. Sure enough, after learning this step-by-step process, Wang Chao's standing time was extended by more than 20 minutes from the original five minutes. But after 20 minutes, Wang Chao felt a little dizzy.  , it¡¯s like being seasick, and your stomach is churning. ¡°Do you feel dizzy, like seasick, and want to vomit?  "Tang Zichen seemed to know how Wang Chao felt. Wang Chao nodded quickly. "There's no need to stand. You can get up. Your lower body posture is in place, but your head is not in place.  When standing, keep your head in the air.  " "What is the empty ceiling?  "Wang Chao stood up and gasped for a long time before he suppressed the feeling of nausea. "This is a term in the Bagua Xingyi Sect Boxing Sutra, and it is difficult to explain. Come with me.  Tang Zichen thought for a while, "You will know when you get to the embankment of the river!"  "Outside the park is a large river. The reinforced concrete embankment newly built in the past few years has bulged very high. There are dozens of concrete steps to climb the embankment, which are very steep. Tang Zichen grabbed Wang Chao and climbed up quickly.  The embankment. Wang Chao¡¯s knees were so sore just now from standing on horseback, and now after going through such a toss and climbing dozens of concrete steps, his knees were so sore that he could hardly even stand up. ¡°Look at this river view!  " Tang Zichen didn't wait for Wang Chao to rest, and pointed at the vast river in front. Wang Chao also looked at it, and felt that the river was rushing forward, extremely vast, with surging water on the shore, and snow on both sides. The scenery was very pleasant. " Looking at it  Looking at it, Wang Chao felt that his whole body felt much better, his legs were no longer sore, and his waist was no longer painful. ¡°As soon as I climbed up and looked into the distance, my mood became more relaxed and my fatigue was relieved.  This is the emptiness of the sky.  "Tang Zichen really talked sense to Wang Chao like a big sister. "When the horse is galloping, the field of vision is particularly wide, so you don't feel tired when riding.  In the same way, when a person is seasick, standing on the deck, blowing in the wind, and looking into the distance will stop him from feeling sick.  " "So, when standing on horseback, not only do you rise and fall together, but your strength must be in place, you must also open your eyes wide, and have the artistic conception of climbing high and looking far away.  " "This kind of horse step is considered to be correct.  These are principles that exist in life, but people usually ignore them. It was the sages who summarized them and integrated them into martial arts.  Martial arts is not a myth, it is in life. As long as you pay attention, you can turn decay into magic.  " Wang Chao seemed to understand a lot after hearing this. He felt that a door he had never seen before slowly opened to him. "I have told you the principles and postures. You can practice for half a month.  .  After half a month, I'll wait for you here and see how effective your stand is?  "After Tang Zichen finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the embankment.
