ANCESTRAL LINEAGE AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Chen Style Taijiquan Old Frame Routine One (Lao Jia Yi Lu) is the foundational masterpiece of the Chen family martial tradition. It was meticulously refined by the 14th generation patriarch Chen Changxing, who synthesized the diverse routines created by the founder Chen Wangting into the 'Old Frame' system we recognize today. This instructional DVD features Grandmaster Wang Xi'an, one of the 'Four Buddhas' of Chenjiagou and a world-renowned authority on the art. His teaching represents a direct transmission of the ancestral wisdom of the Chen clan, emphasizing the preservation of the original bio-mechanics and internal alchemy. This 230-minute series is a definitive record of the 'Lao Jia' tradition, providing a comprehensive roadmap for practitioners seeking to master the Internal Power of the world's oldest Tai Chi style.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND Silk Reeling
Lao Jia Yi Lu is characterized by its 'Predominant Softness Integrated with Hardness.' The routine is celebrated for its 'Fluid Structure,' moving like 'running water or floating clouds'—continuous and without interruption. The core of this style is 'Chan Si Jin' (Silk Reeling Power), a spiraling internal force that originates in the Dantian and permeates the entire skeletal structure. The Technical Routine emphasizes the 'Body-Leading-Hand' principle, where every movement is driven by the core. The stances are 'Graceful and Expansive,' while the footwork is 'Light and Steady.' Grandmaster Wang demonstrates how the 'Internal Strength' pervades the whole body, ensuring that 'When one part moves, every part moves; when one part is still, every part is still.' This synchronization is the hallmark of high-level Chen Style Taijiquan.
BIO-MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT AND WAIST-AXIS
The bio-mechanics of the Old Frame focus on the 'Waist as the Axis' and the 'Python Waist' rotation. Grandmaster Wang provides a deep analysis of how the Dantian acts as the engine for all power projection. The alignment of the spine and the 'Rooting' of the feet are essential for handling the torque generated by the Silk Reeling energy. The routine requires the practitioner to distinguish clearly between 'Xu' (Empty) and 'Shi' (Full), ensuring precise weight shifts and structural integrity. This DVD offers a masterclass in 'Body-Mind Integration,' teaching the student how to coordinate breath with movement to build 'Internal Pressure.' The 'Folding and Storing' of energy is explained in detail, showing how to prepare the body for the sudden release of 'Fa-Jin' (Explosive Force) while maintaining a relaxed and active state.
CULTIVATION AND MARTIAL EFFICACY
While often practiced for health and longevity, Lao Jia Yi Lu is a potent combat system. The routine teaches the practitioner how to maintain structural integrity under pressure and how to release 'Fa-Jin' with 'Loose and Vivid' elasticity. Grandmaster Wang breaks down the technical applications of each movement, showing how the 'Silk Reeling' energy can be used to neutralize and counter-attack simultaneously. This instructional series is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the authentic roots of Taijiquan and the sophisticated internal mechanics of the Chen family's Old Frame. With nearly four hours of detailed instruction, it provides the depth necessary for 'Internal Alchemy' and the cultivation of a resilient, powerful body and a calm, focused mind.

"Biographical Profile: Wang Xi'an
19th Generation Master of Chen-style Taijiquan and Champion of the Practical School
Wang Xi'an, born in 1944 in Chenjiagou, Henan, is a 19th generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan and one of the world-renowned ""Four Buddha Attendants"" (四大金刚). A National-level Representative Inheritor of Intangible Cultural Heritage, he is celebrated for his exceptional combat skills and his role in reviving the competitive spirit of traditional Taiji.
Martial Arts Background: Rigorous Training and Combat Excellence
Wang Xi'an began his training under the guidance of Master Chen Zhaopi and furthered his studies with Master Chen Zhaokui. His background is rooted in the practical, combative roots of the Chen family tradition. In the early 1980s, he emerged as a dominant force in the martial arts world, winning numerous national championships in push hands and forms, which earned him a reputation as a ""real-world"" combat expert within the Taiji community.
Legacy and Contribution: Systematizing Practical Taiji
As the founder of the Wang Xi'an Taiji Institute, he has trained a vast number of students, including many international champions and security professionals. He has authored several influential works that focus on the mechanics of power generation (Fajin) and the practical applications of Taijiquan in self-defense. His contribution lies in his ability to maintain the martial integrity of the art while adapting it to the needs of modern physical education and competitive sports.
Artistic Style: Explosive Power and Direct Application
Wang Xi'an’s technique is characterized by its speed, explosive force, and directness. His movements are compact and powerful, demonstrating the classic Chen-style duality of ""hardness and softness"" with a clear emphasis on functional application. He is particularly known for his mastery of Fajin—the ability to discharge power instantaneously—and his deep understanding of the structural mechanics required to overcome an opponent's force with minimal effort."
