Course Syllabus 课程章节
1Taijiquan is a cultural form rich in elements with Chinese traditional national characteristics. Its boxing theory comes from classical works such as Chinese traditional philosophy, medicine and martial arts, and absorbs the reasonable contents of Taoism, Confucianism and other cultures in its long-term development process. Therefore, Taijiquan is called "national quintessence". Taijiquan combines hardness and softness. It can not only defend oneself, but also enhance physique and prevent diseases. It has gradually become a cultural link connecting different races, nationalities, languages and countries. It has become an important carrier for foreign exchange and dissemination of Chinese culture.
太极拳是极富中国传统民族特色元素的文化形态,其拳理来源于中国传统哲学、医术、武术等经典著作,并在其长期的发展过程中又吸收了道、儒等文化的合理内容,故太极拳被称为"国粹" 。太极拳动作刚柔相济,既可防身,又能增强体质、防治疾病,逐渐成为连接不同种族、不同民族、不同语言、不同国家的文化纽带,已经成为中国文化对外交流传播重要载体。
