The Chinese culture behind tai chi

Exploration
The Chinese culture behind tai chi
How do you understand the philosophy between the opposites How do you put it in your life
Just as the passage says, the world is made up of opposite forces and neither of them can be independent of the other. The opposites always keep balance and no one could break it. Like days and nights, it always goes from one situation to the opposite. For example, if one fails sometimes, he should never give up. As long as he changes the way he does and thinks, things would be changed. On the contrary, if one succeeds, he shouldn’t be too proud. Keep calm or he will lose.
Discussion
The Chinese culture behind tai chi
Do you think tai chi will get more popular among teenagers Why or why not
Yes, I think tai chi will definitely become more popular among teenagers, because I believe young people are becoming more aware of the importance of physical and mental health. Tai chi is great because it helps with both. This should make it a good choice for teenagers who want to take up an exercise. Also, as a traditional Chinese form of exercise, tai chi will probably get a lot of support from the government, schools and other bodies.
