Tracing its current manifestation to the Chen family in Chenjiagou, Henan Province, taijiquan is a traditional fighting art that finds its foundation in Daoist philosophy. The succeeding styles, Yang, Wu, Hao and Sun all grew from this root. While each is different in movement or emphasis, they all stem from and follow similar Taiji practices. The concepts that led to Taiji were first revealed, at least in writing, by Laozi. These concepts imply achieving maximal effect with minimal effort by following the Dao (Tao) or natural way and achieving balance. Taiji is the physical manifestation of Wuji (see lesson 23) and is invested with the life force (qi, lesson 3).The literal translation of Taiji is ‘supreme’, the ‘ultimate’ and implies a state of being in balance, or being able to achieve harmony.If Qi is the first manifestation of the Dao, where the energy is undifferentiated and therefore in the state of Wuji, the initiation of movement out of this undifferentiated state (undifferentiated Qi) where both yin and yang are found is the beginning of Taiji. Taiji is the interaction between opposites (Yin and Yang) and the creation of a balanced, harmonious state.
