太极拳源流及发展趋向的研究

Study on the Trend of Taijiquan's Source and Development

太极拳自产生发展以来,不断吸收中国古代哲学和古代养生文化,同时与中国古典武艺相脱离,发展至今成为一种以健身和修身为主的民族传统体育.现代的太极拳已不太适应武术竞技体育比赛,它的发展已经超越了传统武术.因此,太极拳应从竞技武术、传统武术中剥离出来,形成自己以健身和修身为主体的东方健身体育,为其更加自由的发展,拓展更加广阔的理论和生存空间.

Since the very beginning of Taijiquan＇ s birth, it has been continuously mingling with and gaining the nutrients from ancient Chinese philosophy and ancient Chinese live styles. However during this process, it also has been successively deviating from the system of Chinese classic martial arts. As a result, Taijiquan has developed into a traditional Chinese sport with profound tradition, featured mainly by its fitness building and mental exercising characters. Modem Taijiquan is no longer proper for the modem athletic Wushu competitions, and its development also exceeds the realm of traditional Chinese martial arts. Consequently, Taijiquan should be divided off from the both modem Wushu system and traditional martial arts system, for it is now a sport with its own characteristics, and deserves a much broader and freer development in the future.
