Tai Ji Chuan emphasized the combination of inside and outside, and emphasized the cultivation of human body's spirit while maintaining strong appearance. This is in line with Taoism's advocacy of exuberant essence and blood first, and then refining qi, so that the internal qi can be filled and transformed, and the form and spirit can be integrated to achieve the goal of less illness and longer life. Tai Ji Chuan's upper and lower limb arc movements and semi-squat bending movements can effectively improve the endurance of skeletal muscles, the tension of joints and the flexibility of ligaments; Tai Ji Chuan's movements are not exaggerated, but they are solid and powerful, with rigidity in softness and movement in stillness.

We can appreciate the charm of traditional culture. Taiji culture originates from the traditional cultural concept represented by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and achieves the natural state of "integration of boxing and Taoism" through practice and application. In a word, Tai Ji Chuan is a good exercise for self-cultivation. With the changes of the times and people's needs, Tai Ji Chuan has gradually evolved into a Tai Ji Chuan routine form of sports. Practicing Tai Ji Chuan correctly is good for physical activity.
