Taiji Songquan· Promote the Dao and cultivate righteousness
It began in 1988
When the way of heaven is in harmony, one can attain the true way
Today marks the last Tai Chi class of this semester in Beihai. After a year of persistent practice through the changing seasons, everyone is about to enter a higher class and continue to earnestly practice our original and authentic traditional Chen Family Tai Chi.
This semester has been a severe test for our entire training center. During this period, there were both pains and joys. We followed the teachings of our predecessors, adhered to the right path, and under the leadership of our head coach Yang Junfeng, we united, trusted each other, and took on responsibilities. We successfully completed the teaching work of this semester with high quality.
I still remember the first time I met my senior sister. Yes2021Last year, when I was having classes in Beihai, the master asked my senior sister to perform the complete set of Tai Chi at the beginner stroke stage for everyone. The master said that he wanted everyone to experience what the respect, tranquility and purity of Tai Chi were. Before that, the master had always told us, “If the heart is pure, the universe will be unified.” If the heart is not respectful, the spirit will not arrive; if the heart is not calm, the kidneys will not move; if the heart is not pure, the mind will not arise. Without respect, there is no tranquility; without tranquility, there is no purity. “Respect, tranquility, purity and spirituality, and spirituality gives rise to the Taiji.” “
The natural and elegant Tai Chi style of the senior sister made us experience the respect, tranquility and purity that our master spoke of.
On the day my master passed away, I was fortunate enough to go to the martial arts school to practice. My master told us that every morning, he would take Senior Sister Junfeng to Beihai to practice. Junfeng practiced very seriously, and his tone was filled with affirmation and pride. Indeed, during this difficult period, we witnessed the rapid growth of our senior sister. From a little girl who needed the master’s instructions to wipe her sweat and add clothes after practicing boxing, she has grown into the chief coach who meticulously prepares lessons for everyone. In winter, she reminds everyone to keep warm after practicing boxing, and in summer, she reminds everyone to drink plenty of water to prevent heatstroke. Even sometimes when she was moved to tears by the scene at Beihai Dojo, It will also be adjusted in a timely manner without any delay.
We believe that under the leadership of our senior sister, all the fellow practitioners in the training center will trust and unite with each other. In accordance with the wishes of our master, we will continue to pass on and promote this precious and best friend of mankind – the original and authentic Old Tai Chi of the Chen family, and save all beings.
There is no way to follow the Tao or the Dharma; only those with profound moral cultivation can resonate with heaven and the Dao, and thus attain the true Tao.

The heart follows the circumstances The situation follows one’s heart.
2024years6While traveling in the southern border, I experienced that my heart follows the circumstances and also realized that the circumstances follow one’s heart. As is well known, the southern Xinjiang region is vast and arid with little rainfall. Here lies the most extensive desert in China’s inland areas, sparsely populated, with only the wind and sand echoing lonely in the sky. However, no matter how desolate the desert is, there are always oases, demonstrating the indomitable spirit of life. Before the passage of time, this place was once rich in water and grass and full of blooming flowers. The civilization of ancient humans shone with the most brilliant luster here. Now, through the vicissitudes of time, only a series of dilapidated empty cities remain, leaving the world to sigh. All of this is so novel, a scenery and experience that I, a person who grew up in the city, have never seen before. Looking at the continuous sand dunes and the vibrant oases, my urban heart transforms along with the sand dunes and oases. The heart that had long been sealed away in the concrete jungle was gradually opened up on this vast land. My heart follows the circumstances, and my Tai Chi has also improved along with my heart. I truly understand what my master said: Tai Chi is the Dao, and the cultivation of the Dao is about self-cultivation, mental cultivation, and character cultivation. When one’s heart and nature are cultivated, one’s martial arts will naturally improve.
It is a small path for the heart to follow the circumstances, but it is the great path for the circumstances to follow the heart. It’s all this land, but everyone’s heart is different, and so is the scene everyone sees. As inheritors of Tai Chi, we maintain the heart of the Tao. The Tao is in our hearts. The realm is the realm of the Tao, and Tai Chi is Tai Chi. Whenever you practice boxing, let your mind calm down, sink down, and hold on until you finish one round of boxing. As the master said, practice boxing in a state of relaxation, calmness and tranquility. In the process of practicing boxing, you will naturally achieve enlightenment.
Practice boxing in the vast land of southern Xinjiang, feel the tenderness and power of nature, and let your heart follow the circumstances. Practicing boxing in the small square downstairs from my home in Beijing feels as if I were still in the vast land of southern Xinjiang, with the situation changing according to my heart. Tai Chi is the Way!!
