中国的太极文化，源远流长，博大精深，是中华文明五千年的智慧结晶。在中国传统文化中，太极既代表宇宙的本源，也暗含了天地万物产生、演变的过程，是中国古代哲学思想的重要观念和根源。

现在，就请走进太极亦阴亦阳、亦刚亦柔、亦动亦静、亦虚亦实的世界中，去感受它的无穷魅力吧！
tai chi plays an immensely important role in chinese culture, and
is the crystallization of wisdom in the past 5,000 years of the
chinese civilization. an integral part and also a significant
source of ancient chinese philosophy, it not only stands for the
origin of the universe, but also implies the process of birth and
evolvement of everything in the universe.
throughout thousands of years’ history of china, tai chi has
profoundly influenced confucianism, taoism and other major schools
of culture, and is omnipresent in fields such as regimen, martial
art, art of war and sports.
therefore, only by understanding tai chi, can one understand
radically the chinese culture and appreciate the great wisdom of
ancient chinese people.
both tai chi regimen and tai chi boxing, which have been of great
popularity in recent years, are phenomena of the tai chi culture.
they embody traditional chinese views on the world and harmony,
i.e., “unity of man and nature” and “identity of object and self”.
tai chi boxing, favored by many people, offers relaxation and
balances yin-yang through its natural and smooth, soft and hard
movements, allowing one to reach a state of peace.
