If you walk through a park in the
morning or in the evening,you might see a lot
of people doing these slow and beautiful
movements-Carry the tiger
over the
mountain and White crane spreads its wings.In fact,they are
doing Taichi.
Taichi is an ancient martial art ()It is a common
kind of exercise in China.More than 100 million people in over
150 countries practice Taichi at present.Recently UNESCO
(联合国教科文组织)has added Taichi to its Intangible
Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录).Many Taichi
fans were happy to hear of it."This will make Taichi more
popular around the world.Hopefully,more people will become
healthier by practicing it."said Chen Bin.He is a Taichi
master from the village of Chenjiagou,Henan Province.This
village is the birthplace of Chen-style Taichi.
It's true that doing Taichi is good for our health.It can
make us walk and move more freely,and it can also make us
stronger.During slow movements,we can focus on()our
hands and feet.We can control them better.Slow movements
also help us to take deep and long breaths.
Taichi also focuses on the harmony (between yin
(and yang().It shows how the ancient Chinese people
saw the world.The world is full of yin and yang:dark and
light,soft and hard,female and male.But they don't oppose
(对立)each other absolutely(绝对地).As we see in the
picture,a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in
the white area.After a dark night,the sun will rise.Leaves fall
in autumn but grow in spring.Everything keeps changing-
that is how we should see the world.
Taichi carries traditional Chinese philosophy(哲学),such
as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat
hardness.It has become a symbol of Chinese culture.
