太极拳,人类共同的财富

Taijiquan, the Common Wealth of Mankind

“太极”是中国古代哲学中对世间万物变化规律的总称，体现了无极到太极，太极生阴阳，再演化出万物的过程。

“Taiji” is a generic term regarding the laws of changes in all creatures on the earth. In ancient Chinese philosophy, this reflects a process in which Wuji (“Infinite”) gives rise to Taiji (“Supreme Ultimate”). Taiji produces Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang evolve into all creatures.

赵文卓：太极讲阴阳平衡，它要求前后、左右、上下，最好形成一个圆，所有的位置都是圆的。

Vincent Zhao: Taiji is about the balance of Yin and Yang. It requires that the front and the back, the upper and the lower, and the left and the right form a circle, and all the positions are round and balanced.

平衡的理念

300多年前，中国焦作市温县的陈家沟，陈王廷首创了陈式太极拳，之后又发展为陈式、杨式、吴式、武式及孙式等不同的流派。受到了各国人民的喜爱，风靡了世界，这一古老的拳法为何有如此强大的生命力？

More than 300 years ago, Chen Wangting pioneered Chen Style Taijiquan in Chenjiagou, Wen County, Jiaozuo, China. It has since developed into different schools such as Chen Style, Yang Style, Wu Style, Sun Style and Wu Style, and is loved by people from different countries and got popular around the world. Why does this old boxing method have such a strong vitality? 

太极拳以其中正安舒，含蓄内敛、急缓相间，刚柔相济的特点，诠释了自然和谐、健康共享的太极文化核心理念。

Taijiquan interprets the core concepts of nature. Harmony, health and sharing in taiji culture reflect characteristics of impartiality and comfort, modest and implicit, slow and rapid, hardness and softness.

我们来到这个世界最重要的是对生命的认识，练习太极拳的过程就是一个人体悟与感悟自身变化，挖掘自身潜能，提高自身修养，和谐人际关系，追求人的思想、身体系统、人与人之间、人与自然之间平衡的过程。

The most important thing for us to arrive at in the world is to know life. The process of exercising taijiquan is a process in which one realizes and comprehends one’s own changes, unleashes one’s own potential, improves self-cultivation, harmonizes interpersonal relationships, and pursues the balance of human thought and the internal system. It helps one understand one another, and the relationships between humans and nature. 

于再清：通过修练太极拳，可以使你这个人的性格更和善，对于建立美好的家庭，建立和谐社会，或者说建立一个和平美好的世界，非常有帮助。

Yu Zaiqing: Practicing taijiquan can make your character kinder and is very helpful for starting a nice family and establishing a harmonious society; in other words, creating a wonderful world.
