Over the years, due to the overload of bearing load, the square infrastructure has been damaged to varying degrees, the greening of seedlings has been seriously damaged, and the wall of the landmark Roman colonnade has fallen off, which has potential safety hazards. In order to further create a clean city and improve the livable environment for residents, the district committee and government upgraded Taiji Square under the expectation of the people.
Yongnian District is the birthplace of Tai Ji Chuan, where the founders of two Tai Ji Chuan schools, Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang, were born, and Sun Shi and Wu Tai Ji Chuan schools were derived. A large number of Tai Chi masters not only learn Tai Chi, but also recruit disciples, making Tai Ji Chuan go from Yongnian to the whole country and the world.
According to Li Xing, director of Yongnian District Education and Sports Bureau, at present, there are 420,000 people practicing Tai Ji Chuan in Yongnian District, accounting for almost half of the total population. Tai Ji Chuan has become an important carrier to promote the national fitness activities in this area.
According to the introduction of the Propaganda Department of Yongnian District Committee, Yongnian District promoted the national fitness campaign by promoting Taiji culture and popularizing Tai Ji Chuan, and successfully held a series of activities such as 14 China Yongnian International Tai Ji Chuan Friendship Association, the 6th Guangfu Tai Ji Chuan Annual Meeting, the 1st Yongnian Wu's Tai Ji Chuan Summit Forum, and China Yongnian International Tai Ji Chuan Masters Forum.
Tai Ji Chuan Research Association was established, Taiji magazine was founded, Annals of Tai Ji Chuan in Yongnian was compiled and published, and the website of China Taiji City was established. Honors such as "Hometown of Tai Ji Chuan in China", "Tai Ji Chuan Research Center in China" and "Holy Land in Tai Ji Chuan" are immortal.
At the same time, in order to popularize Tai Ji Chuan, Yongnian District began to implement the "100,000" Tai Ji Chuan talent training project last year, that is, to train 10 national Tai Ji Chuan non-genetic inheritors, 100 national Tai Ji Chuan famous teachers and 1000 Tai Ji Chuan counselors, and to implement the "six advances" activities of Tai Ji Chuan culture into the campus, institutions and communities.
Tai Ji Chuan Normal School in Yongnian District also arranged sitting Tai Ji Chuan routines suitable for disabled people to practice, which increased the popularization coverage of Tai Ji Chuan. Li Xing said that at present, there are 1 10 Tai Ji Chuan societies in this area, and 1000 fighters have set up schools and classes at home and abroad. The number of people practicing Tai Ji Chuan in this area has reached 420,000, and Tai Ji Chuan has become a popular fitness exercise for local people.
