Features: Tai Chi, as a martial art, has been nurtured, developed, and grown within the profound traditional culture of the Chinese nation. It has a widespread and deep grassroots foundation in China. Especially the health benefits of Tai Chi—cultivating character, strengthening the body, and extending life—have attracted millions of enthusiasts who have gained from practicing it. In today's fast-paced modern society with rapid economic development, Tai Chi holds even greater value. It helps practitioners develop good habits, enhance self-confidence, improve health, alleviate various pressures, build positive interpersonal relationships, and ultimately improve quality of life.
For this purpose, our press has invited important representative figures and inheritors from the six major schools of Tai Chi in China to compile this series of simplified Tai Chi exercises—Thirteen Forms. Adhering to the principles of simplicity, effectiveness, and practicality, this series maintains the traditional practice methods and training requirements while carefully selecting and organizing the sequence of movements from the traditional routines. It features representative and characteristic movements from the traditional forms, ensuring both scientific rationality and ease of learning. Additionally, the entire routine's practice time has been shortened, making it more convenient for learners to master and practice.
