Tai Chi Quan I feel very strange when I write “太极拳” in English. In my opinion, it should be "Tai Ji Quan". Whatever, we can understand each other it is enough. I think when you heard tai chi quan, what come into your mind should be a group of seniors playing it, it seems like they are dancing slowly. Actually, it is not like that. It's more beautiful than that. Most of players started playing tai chi when they were retired. Playing tai chi for them is just for fan and killing time. Also, their's body is allowed them to learn too much. I've seen some of youth play tai chi in Zi Zhu Yuan park Beijing. It looks fabulous. They play it in a soft and flexible way. If you want to learn more about China and Chinese culture, you need to learn tai chi culture.
