By the applying of Chinese traditional philosophy in Taijiquan , the paper revals the discipline of Taijiquan and Hit Techniques profoundly.The theory of Yin-yang is a perspective and methodology originated in ancient China with the unity of opposites being its central premise. Yin-yang theory which is just the soul of Taijiquan permeate each link of it. The shift of Yin and Yang displays from the shelves of Taiji movements to martial push hands.The movements of one by one are based on Yin and Yang as the fundamental, and every action in the actual situation are interdependence, mutual transformation constantly connected between static, rigid, offensive and defensive conflicts, Everywhere contains the mutual convert of yin and yang." The harmony of man with nature" is the thinking of Mencius, who advocated that "the nature connects with man, and human nature is doomed . A man is virtuous or not,which is depend on the nature." " The harmony of man with nature" is the quintessence of ancient Chinese philosophy reflected of Taijiquan , which is an advanced view on nature and life. "Heaven and Man are one " is self-harmony unity relationship between man and nature, man and society, in and outside the body and mind. The combination of chinese classical philosophy and Taiji, is accomplished transit from the "philosophy" to "Boxing Reason", and finally formed a Taiji's every trick in each type can be based on dialectical philosophy, and make the meaning of philosophy in Taiji movement to achieve a specific implementation. "Doctrine of the mean" is the concentrated reflection of Confucian thought, Confucianism speaks of "Golden Mean" is not everything just to mean, take the middle road, but instead of a kind of proportion, which is consistent Taijiquan emphasizes "Chiang harmony". Impartial and conduct themselves in Taiji movement is the basic body type and technology essentials, is the embodiment of Confucian doctrine of the mean. In technical meaning of Taiji the martial requirement is no greed, no less, not that, do not stray, do not lose, no top, Excess and deficiency and so on, it is also a reflection of Doctrine of the mean. Therefore, Taijiquan "Chiang harmony" can reflect the traditional Chinese philosophy - "golden mean."Taiji "form" shall be the hands, eyes, physical movement, feet, etc. Great efforts should be maked to practicing Taiji in physical shape, which is the hands, eyes, physical movement, steps, here are strict requirements on the various parts. Only lay a solid foundation of physical form to make all parts posture are very correct, keep different parts of the body in excellent coordination, then the whole body will to reach quite comfortable and coherence, the movement should be coherent and flexible, make a unified entity. It is easy to recognize different levels of this form exercise from the movement of advance and retreat, flexion, tilt, rise and fall, send and receive, etc. After the practicing of the form action acquire a high degree of excellence, one can be further refined to reach the inner spirit, essence qi, mind and intention of the training method. Therefore, "in training" is the basis for Taiji.Taijiquan not only focus on the training shap , but also elevating in sprit . It must be derived from external, guided by the inner, incorporated by external and inner .So it can be called Taijiquan . Elevating in Sprit refers to the exercise of spirit , energy and ideas . That is the higher request to Taijiquan based on the training shap mastely . Practice Taijiquan using ideal not awkward strength . So Taijiquan demands moving smoothly externally , ideas moving elegantly . That is the training shap and elevating in sprit having the same importance . The characteristic of internal and external integration is the quintessence of Taijiquan . That trait lead to all other characteristics ."body training" of Taijiquan is shelf or training aircraft, whitch is the meaning of boxing.A fist goes: "Taijiquan`s way inlcudes the opening and closing. Yin and Yang is just boxing. Its beauty is root in each other." Taijiquan`s any shelf can be classified into large, medium and Primary kinds of posture. The large shelf can be to small in practice.It could turn out to be bigger. The small shelf can be large, it also can turn out to be smaller. In short, the first major training of Taijiquan is aircraft, then is a small training, whitch is also consistent with the rule of "body", "using". Therefore, the shelf is a martial basis of attack. Foundation is so firm that making a solid foundation for the technology and improve the level of attack.Not only is attack the essence and core of the Chinese Wushu,but also it is character and substance that can`ot be ignore of Taijiquan. Taijiquan is an important part of Chinese Wushu. Taijiquan highlights the function of self-cultivation in the many boxing, meanwhile it possesses character of attack. Thinking of attack is base on traditional Chinese philosophy.The thinking borrows and absorbs the theory of practice about the ancient Chinese art of war.It pay attention to inaction, to very clever motion to slow the motion quickly, defeating strength by weakness and so on.It improves thought of Chinese Wushu. Therefore, attack thought of Taijiquan is profound philosophy of traditional Chinese culture, but also has its own soft, slow, round and steady technical features. Attack thought of Taijiquan is a highly combative and implicit way. It just reflects thinking of conciliatory, tranquility, clever and capricious skill and wisdom from traditional Chinese art of war.
