Cultural Insight:
You
might have seen many Chinese people in parks practicing Tai Chi slowly
and softly. Tai Chi is not just a form of exercise; it is a philosophy.
Its movements are slow, but they contain the inner principle of "using
softness to overcome hardness" – the soft can overcome the hard. The Tai
Chi symbol is the yin-yang fish, representing the balance and cycle of
all things. Practicing Tai Chi can strengthen the body and also calm
one's mood.
