One of the five renowned traditional Chinese martial arts, Yang-style Tai Chi Quan is recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. Rooted in the classical philosophies of Confucianism and Daoism, particularly the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin-Yang dialectics, it embodies a comprehensive practice that promotes mental cultivation, physical health, and combat skills. Integrating principles from I Ching’s Yin-Yang and Five Elements theories, traditional Chinese meridian theory, ancient Daoist energy exercises, and breathing techniques, it represents a holistic approach emphasizing internal and external harmony. This martial art emphasizes gentle, slow movements characterized by graceful and subtle expression, combining softness with core strength, creating a balanced dichotomy of rigidity and flexibility.

Yang-style Tai Chi Quan is known for its delicate agility and refined subtlety. It unfolds with flowing, unhurried motions that embody natural grace and composure. Its outward form suggests innocence and delicacy while retaining inner resilience akin to tempered steel. Rather than relying on vigorous, expansive movements, it features steady, majestic flows that emphasize internal cultivation and mindful self-awareness.
