Practice of Taijiquan 

(Taiji zhenggong jie)

Taijiquan is round. 

It does not matter if it is inside, outside, up, down, left, or right, it never departs from roundness.

Taijiquan is square. 

It does not matter if it is inside, outside, up, down, left, or right, it never departs from squareness.

Enter and exit with roundness. 

Advance and retreat with squareness.

Back and forth between squareness and roundness.

Squareness stands for opening and expanding.

Roundness stands for tightening and contracting.

Squareness and roundness are the highest ideal.

Can anything fall outside this ideal?

When you have reached this ideal, your hands follow the heart-mind (xin).

The more you look up at it the higher it appears ­

The more you bore into it the harder it becomes.

It seems unbelievable ­ visible and yet invisible.

It exists without end.
