What is Tai Chi?

I believe that everyone is familiar with Tai Chi, and some people have only heard of Tai Chi, but I believe that many people do not know that Tai Chi and Tai Chi are not the same. I believe that everyone also knows that Tai Chi is used to strengthen the body, but most people do not know the specific meaning of Tai Chi. So what is Tai Chi? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue by relevant people. I hope it will be of some help to you. When practicing Tai Chi, it is better to do it under the guidance of professionals.

Tai Chi is an integral part of Chinese martial arts. In the extensive and profound martial arts, it has its own system, with its own unique training methods of boxing, weapons (knife, sword, spear, pole), pushing hands, free fighting, sparring, etc., as well as relatively complete martial arts theory. Its characteristics are correctness, stability, looseness, and softness, a combination of hardness and softness, accumulation and release, continuous, still as a mountain, moving like a river...Teacher Li Tianji said that Tai Chi is a sport that closely combines consciousness (mind), breathing (breath), and movement (body).

When exercising, you need to keep your mind calm, focused, and relaxed. All movement processes contain the unity of the opposites of Yin and Yang, "When moving, they separate; when still, they unite", "When there is movement, there is no movement without movement; when there is stillness, there is no stillness without movement", "Seek stillness in movement, and do not pursue clumsy force; the Qi is like a wheel, the waist is like an axle, like a ring with no end, continuous; breathe in the roots, and sink the Qi into the Dantian; concentrate on the Qi and make it soft, and let nature take its course." Therefore, later generations borrowed the ancient philosophical concept of Tai Chi giving birth to two principles to describe and explain the connotation of this boxing style, and named it Tai Chi.

Everyone is familiar with Tai Chi. Many people in life choose to practice Tai Chi, first of all to strengthen their bodies. Of course, they think it is a Chinese tradition that needs to be passed on. However, many people are not very clear about the specific meaning of Tai Chi. The above is a detailed answer to this question. I hope these introductions will be helpful to you and you can learn about it in daily life.
