As a discipline of kung fu with the largest number of practitioners in China, tai chi is gaining popularity worldwide. Tai chi is sweeping the world thanks to its deep cultural roots and the health benefits coming from practicing it. The philosophy of tai chi features the concept of yin and yang, which is typical of Confucianism and Taoism. Tai chi also takes in ideas from traditional Chinese medicine, including anatomy(解剖学) and physiology. It is a practice that connects hardness with softness, and it is a perfect example of traditional Chinese culture. Through lasting practice, learners begin to feel the positive impact(影响) of tai chi on their health. Unlike other kung fu practice that focuses on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit. By practicing tai chi, people will feel an improvement in their physical and psychological health by developing a balance between yin and yang within their bodies. Thi
