太极者,道也。道者,天下之至理,自然之法则。太极拳是太极哲学与太极思维在中国武术中的运用,其强调以人类自身的身体能量和生命潜能为载体,对宇宙真理与生命真相进行独特的证悟与演绎。修炼太极拳可以引导当代社会的人们"向里用力"身心兼修,以克服空虚、浮躁、物欲横流等多种现代病,最终追求一种内外和谐、身心和谐、天人和谐的诗意人生。

Tai Ji means principle. Principle is the supreme truth of our world and the law of nature. Taijiquan,the application of the Tai Ji philosophy and Tai Ji thoughts to the field of Chinese Kung Fu,puts much emphasis on the enlightenment of the universal truth and the reality of life on the basis of the energy and potential of human beings. The practice of Taijiquan is able to guide the contemporary human beings to pay more attention to the inner world as well as the improvement in body and mind in order to overcome the shortcomings of modern society,such as inanity,fickleness and extravagance,thus the poetic life,which is marked by the combination of inside and outside,the body and spirit,and the unity of human and nature,can eventually be achieved.
