What are the main reasons for Tai Ji Chuan's successful application for the World Heritage List?
On June 5438+February 65438+February 7, 2020, Taiji finally succeeded in applying for the World Heritage. After the first application for the World Heritage failed in 2008, it took 12 years to finally realize this project, and the image of Taiji at home and abroad will be redefined. As a major city applying for the World Heritage, Henan will also face new challenges and opportunities.

The concept of applying for world heritage

Application for World Heritage is mainly an act that a country or region applies to the United Nations to join the world heritage with local special heritage value. The application standards and requirements of this project are very strict, and only one or more of them can be met to apply successfully. It is necessary to create a masterpiece of wisdom that represents human beings, show human values, provide the only evidence for the traditional culture that has disappeared, show the important period of human history, have cultural interaction, or be an important model of human inheritance.

Reasons and Opportunities for Successful Application for World Heritage

Since the formation of Tai Ji Chuan, practitioners have spread all over the world, with a broad overseas group base, and there are no restrictions on gender, age, occupation and nationality for practitioners. Tai Chi has a stronger cultural background. Tai Chi pays attention to the concept of yin and yang circulation, and has a very scientific study on the law of human body operation, effectively combining movements with human body balance. At the same time, the peaceful and friendly mentality conveyed by Tai Chi is often used by people to cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate sentiment. It can be seen that Tai Chi plays a very positive role in improving people's health awareness, exercising physical function and tempering moral quality. These characteristics are in line with the conditions and concepts of applying for world heritage.

Practical significance of successful application for world heritage

It is China's responsibility and obligation to actively participate in such projects of the United Nations, which also reflects the level of development and protection of chinese heritage. Taiji is the inheritance and promotion of China's excellent tradition, which plays an important role in promoting China's positive international image and promoting cultural exchanges with other countries. It is also conducive to applying for the economic development of the city and improving the brand strength of the tertiary industry and cultural tourism industry.
