Thirteen strokes of Taiji is a traditional boxing method in China, which belongs to one of the schools in Tai Ji Chuan.

Tai Ji Chuan's principle is:

"People (Tai Chi) use rigidity and softness (two instruments), eight directions (eight diagrams) with their hands and five feet (five elements) to complete a series of actions, which must be represented by five lines of gossip in fighting. Eight kinds of strength methods correspond to the innate eight diagrams, each of which belongs to the basic nature, and five kinds of footwork correspond to the five elements, each of which is reasonable and follows the yin and yang.

To sum up, it is "Tai Chi, Eight Diagrams and Five Elements". ?

It can be seen that the thirteen potentials of Tai Chi are not some fixed movements and postures, but some rules of attack and defense, the nature of strength and the method of exerting strength, as well as the method of bucket weight.

The meaning of Tai Ji Chuan:

Tai Ji Chuan movement gives most people the impression that it is slow and complicated, affecting the whole body. On the basis of emphasizing the power of winding silk, Chen Shi Tai Ji Chuan's upper limb movements include giving up, rowing, pressing, picking, rowing, elbow, leaning against eight doors, penetrating back and symmetrical power.

Taiji uses the whole body to store energy, so it does not move; Tai Ji Chuan is a way to exert strength without muscle tension or relaxation. This idea is very important for both Tai Ji Chuan and Artest Tai Ji Chuan, which is one of his unique features. Gymnastics in Tai Ji Chuan has its positive significance, that is, national fitness.
