Thirteen Movements
太极十三势
The “Thirteen Movements” represent the structural essence of all Tai Chi forms, blending five steps with eight techniques.
Historical Introduction / 历史背景
Originating from the legendary wisdom of Zhang Sanfeng and refined through generations of the Chen and Qiao lineage, the Thirteen Movements (Shi San Shi) are not merely 13 techniques but 13 fundamental principles of movement. They encompass the Eight Gates (Bafa) representing the hands and the Five Steps (Wubu) representing the feet.
太极十三势相传由张三丰祖师所创,后经陈式及乔式历代传人精炼。这十三势不仅是 十三个动作,更是运动的十三条根本法则。它包含代表手法的“八法”和代表步法的“五 步”,是所有太极套路的灵魂。
