It can be seen that Tai Ji Chuan was not created by one person, but developed, summarized, sorted out, innovated and developed by predecessors. Looking at the development of modern Tai Ji Chuan, we can see that only by continuous development can things have vitality. This is enough to explain the day before yesterday, yesterday and today, and also reveal its tomorrow.
