Abstract:

In the evolution of modernity, Tai Chi seems to be flourishing but in fact withering, which is manifested by the fragmentation of the system, the lack of kungfu, the times crisis, the fragmentation and the imbalance of the practitioner structure. In the modern society, factors such as the rise of clock time, blundering society, loss of the essence of boxing, and the rigid thinking of the inheritors and the organization, have all contributed to this result. Therefore, Tai Chi headed towards the decline of meaning, alienation of inheritance, cultural misconduct and spiritual objectification, which also reflected the decline of traditional culture and the disorganization of the spirit of the times. That was to say, under the profound influence of instrumental rationalization, coupled with the rigid thinking, some people actually lacked the physical practice and systematic awareness of the Chinese traditional culture. It was difficult for them to feel its embedded meaning and transcend their own cognition. The deep cultural meaning of Tai Chi was gradually lost. To solve the problems and revive Tai Chi, the following measures could be taken. Effective caring for the bearers and promoting the inheritance of kung fu, strengthening the organization of joint efforts and promoting the inheritance of tournaments, rationalizing the development of the industry, digging deep into the ideas of Tai Chi and consolidating its story telling could highlight the cultural essence of Tai Chi and promote its non-heritage protection and revival so as to contribute wisdom to the Chinese path to sports modernization.
