Originating in China nearly 400 years ago, Taijiquan embodies principles of balance, strength, and gentleness, reflecting ancient Chinese understanding of the universe and the human body through the harmonious coordination of movement, breathing, and focus.

Upholding the humanistic spirit of “respect for virtue and propriety,” Taijiquan carries profound cultural and social significance, showcasing human creativity and cultural inheritance.

In 2020, Taijiquan was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Building on this recognition, UNESCO’s 43rd General Conference, with the valuable support of Member States, approved the designation of 21st March as International Taijiquan Day, highlighting Taijiquan’s exceptional role in promoting global cultural exchange, preserving heritage, and fostering health and well-being.
