Taijiquan, as one of the traditional Chinese health preservation methods, are gaining increasing importance.
Chinese believe that taiji is the origin of all lives on earth. Taiji comprises yin and yang, two types of vital energy. The five elements of wood, fire,earth, metal and water derive from yin and yang.
These five elements correspond to, or affect, particular human organs. The fire element corresponds to the heart, the wood to the liver, the earth to the spleen and stomach, the metal to the lung and the water to the kidney. The combination of yin and yang gives birth to all lives on earth. Taiji represents the harmonious state of balance between yin and yang.
According to the ancient classic Book of Changes, maintaining a balance between the mind and the body is vital for health. The opening chapter of Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the theoretical work of traditional Chinese medicine, introduces the theory of maintaining tranquility to ensure vital energy, produced in a spirit form inside the body, and prevent diseases. Taijiquan is based on the theories to help people preserve health, not only physically but also metally.
