Who invented Tai Ji Chuan? What's the significance?

1, Tai Chi map is said to have been handed down by Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty. Chen Tuan was a Taoist from the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty, and he had profound attainments in Taoist thought and Yi-ology. According to historical records, Chen Tuan once passed Taiji Map, Eight Diagrams Map, River Map and Luoshu to his students for planting, and passed them to Mu Xiu and others respectively. Later, Mu Xiu passed the Tai Chi map to Zhou Dunyi. Zhou Dunyi explained it in Taiji Illustration.

2. The significance of Taiji diagram is remarkable, mainly in several aspects:

(1) Although the Taiji diagram is simple and clear, it consists of a circle, a curve, two points and two black-and-white fish shapes. However, through the illustration and interpretation of past dynasties, it has formed a huge "Taiji philosophy" system with rich and profound connotations. The core of the system is yin and yang. Yin and Yang include not only the metaphysical way of the universe and the law of heaven, but also the metaphysical law of life.

With simple graphic language, Taiji Map covers the great meaning of China's Book of Changes, creates a huge and deep-rooted Taiji philosophy system, and shows the extraordinary wisdom of Chinese ancestors in understanding the changing way of everything in the universe, thus enjoying the reputation of "the first map in China".

(2) As early as six or seven thousand years ago, our ancestors summed up the origin and changes of everything in the universe through the dialectical contradiction between Yin and Yang in the Taiji diagram, which was at least two or three thousand years earlier than the origin of ancient Greek philosophy 2,600 years ago. Therefore, many scholars agree that Taiji Diagram is the origin of China's philosophy and the origin of world philosophy.

(3) Taiji diagram has not only profoundly influenced the way of thinking, ideological and cultural concepts and humanistic character of the Chinese nation, but also had a far-reaching impact on the development of the world.

Extended data:

Taiji diagram, a general diagram in ancient China, summarizes the changes of Yin and Yang and reflects the laws of the world's occurrence, development and changes. The outer circle symbolizes Taiji, and the inner part is divided into black and white arcs of S curve, with a black dot in the white and a white dot in the black. Black is yin and white is yang, symbolizing the mutual roots of yin and yang; The circular arc is like two fish making friends, showing the endless cycle of yin and yang changes.

Now people think that Taiji diagram is a generalization of "wave-particle duality": its circle is a particle, and the S curve in the middle is a fluctuation; Some people also think that the Taiji diagram is the projection of the celestial sphere on the horizontal plane, in which two small points point to the south and north respectively, and the S-shaped curve is the projection of the orbits of the sun, the moon, the five planets and other celestial bodies on the horizontal plane ... Opinions are controversial, but it proves that the Taiji diagram is eternal.

The black color of Tai Chi is reminiscent of the black color of "black hole" and "dark matter", representing yin, softness, earth, water, moon, female, Kun, night, passivity, darkness and death, and the ancient culture of China. Black is a symbol of the north, representing water, one of the five elements. Water is the source of life, but it goes with death-this shows the advanced dialectical thinking of China people.

The white color of Taiji reminds me of the white color of White Dwarf and Star Crash, which represents Yang, Gang, Heaven, Fire, Sun, Male, Dry, Sun, Positive, Active, Bright and New Life ... People in China say black is white, black before white, because chaos is in the front. It's like talking about Yin and Yang, with Yin in front and Yang in the back.
