The term,“TAI CHI”, originates from “ZHOUYI”, it is the most important philosophical thinking in Chinese traditional culture.

TAI CHI stands for the Status of Order in the universe. With regard to various natural phenomenon, after a long time of observation, Chinese ancients have recognized that everything in the universe is Opposition against Integration, therefore, two words, “Yin” and “Yang”, have been used to generalize them. It means, everything and every phenomenon in universe includes “Yin” and “Yang”, as well as two aspects of Appearance and Cultivation, they also stand for “The Sky” and “ The Earth”. The relationship between those two words is In Opposition To Each Other but Mutual and Harmonious Existence; this is the law for the material world; and it is also the  summary and origin for many things. 



TAI CHI BOXING
“TAI CHI BOXING” is the great combination of Chinese philosophic thinking and martial art. 
TAI CHI BOXING utilizes the theory of “Tai Chi”, it is “Invisible”. This kind of exercise form is with gentle and slow body movement in order to cultivate oneself, to seek the human body harmony, 
to seek the harmony between human being and nature, and to seek the harmony between individual and society, therefore; the combination of human being and nature is pursued, further, “The Union of Human Being and Nature ” is achieved. 



 From “Invisible” To “Visible”
“TAI CHI”, we can say, is a kind of thinking, a sort of philosophy, it is “invisible”.“TAI CHI BOXING” is a kind of exercise. We can see its force and beauty; so it is “visible”. The famous sculptor in Taiwan, Mr. Juming, has created a series of masterpieces named “TAI CHI” that fully expressing the strength and esthetics of TAI CHI BOXING. In these masterpieces, each movement such as raising one’s hand, lifting one’s foot, standing or kicking, they all perfectly present the essence and elegant rhyme of TAI CHI BOXING. 


Architectural design:
1. There are two blocks in façade design; one is dark color, the other is light color; they stand for two elements that are “Yin” and “Yang” of Tai Chi respectively. These two blocks are In Opposition To Each Other but Mutual and Harmonious Existence, and they are integrated to become a complete one. 
2. In the meantime, we adopt clean and tidy lines and three dimensional cutting of sculpture technique with the esthetics concept from the works (TAI CHI) of Mr. Juming, and all of these elements are integrated into architectural design. Hence, the clean and tidy lines can form the block with strong three dimensional effect; moreover, the movement of raising one’s hand, lifting one’s foot or kicking expresses the strength and esthetics of ” TAI CHI” works.
