Wuyi Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosted a celebration on Saturday, drawing more than 1,200 Tai Chi enthusiasts from both China and abroad to mark the inaugural International Taijiquan Day.
The large-scale showcase took center stage in a series of nationwide events, while parallel celebrations unfolded in three cradles of the martial art: Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province, Wenxian in Henan Province, and Handan in Hebei Province.
It amuses me that this is being hailed as the “1st International” Taijiquan Day. Last year it was the 1st Asian Taijiquan Day. Next year, will it be the 1st Galactic Taijiquan Day?
