Why can Tai Ji Chuan be widely circulated and passed down?

Because Tai Ji Chuan, as a symbol of China's traditional culture, has become an important bridge and link for China's foreign cultural exchanges, and it inherits the cultural genes of the Chinese nation.

In the middle of17th century, Chen, a native of Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province, absorbed the strengths of various martial arts, integrated the ideas of Yi-ology and traditional Chinese medicine, and created Tai Ji Chuan.

Since then, Tai Ji Chuan has been handed down from generation to generation in Chenjiagou, and gradually derived many schools such as Yang, Wu, He, Wu and Sun.

Today's research holds that Tai Ji Chuan's creation is closely related to the changes of the times: when hot weapons are more and more widely used in the battlefield, Wushu gradually withdraws from the battlefield. When people are no longer eager to practice "killing activities" to protect their families and lives, but need to practice defensive kung fu without hurting themselves or even prolonging their lives, it is inevitable that Tai Ji Chuan will be gradually created.

Details: All kinds of differences in Tai Ji Chuan are actually branded with the development of the times. For example, the early Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan was simple and vigorous. Researchers believe that the two-way gun hammer, in particular, is as fierce as any foreign boxing.

Compared with Tai Ji Chuan with obvious performance, the early Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan has more offensive and defensive characteristics. However, this kind of boxing is a martial art handed down by the Chen family. By the 18- 19 century, its descendants gradually broke the limitations of rules and regulations while further refining and summarizing boxing methods.

Therefore, there are many different schools that we know today, such as Yang style, Wu style, He style, Wu style, Sun style and so on. Take Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan as an example, which is very different from the early Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan.

In the list listed by the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Network, its characteristics are summarized as "the boxing frame is stretched, the structure is rigorous, from loose to soft, and the accumulation of softness is rigid, both rigid and flexible, with a prominent posture, chest and waist as the axis, up and down, internal and external combination, while the middle is both rigid and flexible, relaxed and natural, calm and calm".
