Explores the deep, internal work necessary for the effective practice of tai chi • Reveals the Taoist principles that gave birth to the Yang-style tai chi forms • Shows how tai chi can circulate powerful healing energies through the body Taoist adepts developed tai chi as both a martial art and a way to cultivate their physical body, energy body, and spirit body. Like all Taoist exercises, its main purpose is to form a connection to the basic energy that is the foundation of all life: chi. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, tai chi was considered a secret practice that was passed down only within a closely knit structure of family and loyal disciples. Despite its widespread growth in popularity as a martial art and health exercise, many of its underlying internal practices remain unknown. The Inner Structure of Tai Chi explores the deep, internal work necessary for the effective practice of tai chi. Designed for practitioners at every level, the book contains step-by-step illustrated instructions for mastering the 13 forms of early Yang-style tai chi, also known as Tai Chi Chi Kung. The authors demonstrate the relationship of the inner structure of tai chi to the absorption, transformation, and circulation of the three forces that animate all life--the Universal force, the Cosmic force, and the Earth force--revealing the principles and practices necessary to receive the full spectrum of physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits that tai chi can bring.

Winter Pasture (Chinese Edition)

New Star Press

李娟著的《冬牧场(精)》讲述了传说中最好的牧场是这样的：那里“奶水像河一样流淌，云雀在绵羊身上筑巢孵卵”——充分的和平与丰饶。而现实中更多的却是荒凉和贫瘠，寂寞和无助。 现实中，大家还是得年复一年地服从自然的意志，南北折返不已。春天，牧人们追逐着渐次融化的雪线北上，秋天又被大雪驱逐着渐次南下。不停地出发，不停地告别。春天接羔，夏天催瞟，秋天配种，冬天孕育。羊的一生是牧人的一年，牧人的一生呢？

《遥远的向日葵地》为李娟近两年开始写作并发表在《文汇报》笔会的专栏——“遥远的向日葵地”的最新文字结集。“向曰葵地”在阿勒泰戈壁草原的乌伦古河南岸，是李娟母亲多年前承包耕种的一片贫瘠土地。李娟一如既往用她细腻、明亮的笔调，记录了劳作在这里的人和他们朴素而迥异的生活细节：她勤劳乐观的母亲、高龄多病的外婆，大狗丑丑小狗赛虎，鸡鸭鹅，以及日渐华盛，却被鹅喉羚毁了再种，种了又毁的九十亩葵花地……刻画的不只是母亲和边地人民的坚韧辛劳，更是他们内心的期冀与执着，也表达了对环境的担忧和对生存的疑虑。呈现出一种完全暴露在大自然中脆弱微渺的，同时又富于乐趣和尊严的生存体验。
