Tai Chi Chuan

Please follow me wandering about the garden in a morning redden in the east. Dappled shafts of light is struggling through the tree canopy and a wild bird, which seems to be awake before no more than a minute, starts her twittering in that tree. Lots of people, however, are much more diligent than it. Wearing loose and comfortable clothes, they are exercising in some martial postures. You may find that those postures and movements are so slow that even time dragged. To everyone’s surprise, those trainers look extremely delighted. But that’s why?
It is Tai Chi Chuan that represents the core of Chinese philosophy. Those who enjoy Tai Chi, to some extent, are the unwavering adherents of the Chinese lifestyle and a philosophy of mind. We know Chinese landscape painting is one of the most typical of Chinese culture, yet we may do not realize that Tai Chi, the historic martial arts, is another key word in Chinese dictionary. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are accumulated wisdom of Chinese generations, whereas Tai Chi Chuan is a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern insight because of its consistent development.

In the 12th century, principles of the Neo-Confucian are gradually springing up in Chinese intellectual life. At the same time, the creation of Tai Chi Chuan could be chased back to a Taoist monk Zhang Sanfeng Tai chi t-shirts. From that moment on, Tai Chi Chuan is imparted from one generation to another. 

Undergoing changes and reconstruction, Tai Chi Chuan can mainly be divided into five prevalent styles nowadays. And what is distinctive is that each style is named after the Chinese family from which it originated feiyue shoes. Those styles can be listed as follows: Chen-style of Chen Wangting (1580–1660), Yang-style of Yang Lu-ch'an (1799–1872), Wu- or Wu (Hao)-style of Wu Yu-hsiang (1812–1880), Wu-style of Wu Ch'uan-yu (1834–1902), Wu Ch'uan-yu’s son Wu Chien-ch'uan (1870–1942) and Sun-style of Sun Lu-t'ang (1861–1932).

In spite of complicated sects and protracted tortuous struggle, the basic characteristics of this kind of ancient martial arts have hardly varied. First, it contains much but revealing little. The implied meaning of Tai Chi Chuan is underlying all the body gestures. Best Tai Chi Shoes on ICNbuys.com Second, most of the movements are steady, which means that its continuity is unbroken. Third, its motions are both hard and soft. Taking water as a vivid example, you may be familiar with its flowing, hitting rock and being held back. Last but not least, the procedure combines Jing, Qi, Shen training together, which will boost the trainers’ mental statement and confidence.

Thus, we more or less get the main meaning of “taiji”. It can be translated into "supreme ultimate" and usually is represented by a state between wuji and the polar "yin and yang".

Back to our home, the reason why all the trainers are satisfied with Tai Chi Chuan is definite faith, hope and love hidden in this “quiet” martial arts have inspired wisdom of ancestors and modern, which has given us access to a decent life, nature and universe.
