(2025·无锡市梁溪区二模)Every morning in Beijing's parks, you can see groups of people moving slowly like flowing water. They are practising tai chi. Tai chi is deeply based on the Chinese Philosophy of yin and yang. Chinese people invented tai chi to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements.
As a saying goes, “Water is the softest substance in the world, yet it can penetrate (渗透) the hardest rock.” Tai chi shows us soft things can be stronger than hard things. Scientists have found people who do tai chi regularly (定期地) not only feel less stressed, but also sleep better at night. A recent study showed older adults who practised for six months improved their balance by nearly one-third, which helped prevent falls.
But some young people today think tai chi is too slow for their fast lives. They prefer exercises that make their hearts beat fast, like basketball or dancing. As a wise teacher in Shanghai explained, “We should make old traditions useful for today's world rather than keep them like treasures in a box.” So some creative teachers now mix traditional tai chi moves with modern music, which attracts many young people who want to try something different.
What's amazing is tai chi has become popular all over the world. Whether in busy cities like New York or quiet towns in Europe, people are discovering sometimes moving slowly can help them solve problems faster. An experienced tai chi master put it simply, “Don't waste energy fighting walls. Look for the door that's already open.” This ancient exercise reminds us patience and smart thinking often work better than rushing things. That's why more and more schools are teaching tai chi.
