The so-called "taiji" mainly refers to yin and yang. The conflicting and interdependent relations between the yin and yang are the general rules in the material world. Yin and yang are used to illustrate the contrasting qualities of all things in the world. Taiji is a philosophical thought unique to China. Taiji Boxing (or Taiji Quan) is based on the inter-complementary relations between yin and yang of the human body. |
