Master Hong emphasizes that the upper torso’s core requirement is an upright, suspended head—encapsulated in the classical axiom “虚领顶劲” (“suspend the collar to lift the energy”). In his book, “Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method V1: Theory” , he reinforces this idea by quoting the Thirteen Postures Song (《十三势行功总歌》): “the whole body is light, and the head is suspended” (“满身轻利，顶头悬” ). Although “push” and “suspend” differ in wording, Hong clarifies that both demand a lifted crown, as if the body were hung by a rope from the baihui point, echoing Chen Xin’s metaphor – ‘ A subtle chin tuck then allows the head to self-balance atop a straight spine, naturally aligning the neck ‘ (如同用绳子从头顶百会穴将全身向上悬起似的). This principle, praised in Wang Zongyue’s Tai Chi Theory (王宗岳 《太极拳论》) and is ranked first among the “Ten Essentials” in Yang style Tai Chi (杨派太极拳列为“十要”之首). |
| What does this principle truly mean in practice? Master Chen brings clarity by demonstrating it through mechanical models, stripping away abstract interpretations. As he puts it, ‘Ignore… the so-called Taiji concept, do this…’ and, drawing from Master Hong’s teachings, ‘Once you follow this rigid mechanical model… you get it.’ His approach translates traditional wisdom into tangible, repeatable technique. | |
