《二十四式太極拳學與練(附VCD)》 前言 24式太極拳是原國家體育運動委員會於1956年組織武術界老前輩和有關專家，在楊氏太極拳的基礎上，按照由簡到繁、由易到難的原則進行改編、整理的，並定名為「簡化太極拳」。因其由24個動作組成，人們習慣上稱其為「24式太極拳」。 這個套路中去掉了原傳統套路中過多的重複拳勢動作，集中了傳統套路中的主要結構和技術內容，並增加了右式拳勢動作，克服了傳統套路中右勢動作較少的缺點，方便群眾掌握，易學易懂，更有益於群眾健身。 太極拳不僅是一種具有攻防作用的武術，而且是一種重要的健身和預防疾病的運動項目。實踐證明，它對人體的神經系統、呼吸循環系統、消化系統和骨骼、肌肉、關節疾病的預防和治療都有著神奇的作用。 24式太極拳自創編以來，由於其保留了楊氏太極拳緩慢柔和、連綿不斷、舒展大方、勁力內涵的特點和顯著的健身祛病效果，博得了世人的青睞。目前全世界 已有150多個國家和地區，十幾億人學練24式太極拳。在國內現存的130多個武術拳術，幾千個武術套路中，24式太極拳習練人數最多，流傳地域最廣。為 弘揚太極文化，促進全民健身，造福人類，本書將24式太極拳套路分段逐式精解，以幫助太極拳愛好者自學。 Preface Under the organization of the Chinese Sports Committee， masters and experts of Wushu created the 「24-form Taiji Quan」 in 1957， also known as Simplified Taiji. Based on the Yang style of Taiji， the entire set is composed of simple movements that gradually become more complex. In 24-form Taiji Quan， many repeated moves in the original routine were removed and the main structure and skill content are strengthened. The movements involving the right side of the body have been added to provide symmetry not found in the old sets. Therefore， it is easier to understand， easier to learn， and more practical to train for fitness. Taiji is not only a martial art for defense and offense， but also a useful sport for bodybuilding and preventing disease. Studies around the world have shown that long-term Taiji practice provides wondrous effects in preventing and alleviating various diseases in the nervous， respiratory， digestive， circulatory and other systems。 The 24-form Taiji Quan retains the main features of Yang style Taiji， including the slow， continuous， and reaching movements that are soft but full of internal power， and which play an active part in health preservation. Since its development in 1957， around one billion people throughout 150 countries and areas in the world now practice the 24-form Taiji Quan. Of the 130 types of Wushu boxing techniques and the thousands of existing Wushu sets， 24-form Taiji Quan is the only one being practiced by the greatest number of people in farreaching places. This book promotes Taiji culture and its benefits to people all over the world， by presenting clearly the 24-form Taiji Quan step by step. Accordingly， the book assists Taiji enthusiasts to learn the basic movements。
