Opening Ceremony of the World Wudang Tai Chi Conference(PRNewswire)
Over 2,000 participants from 33 countries and regions gathered in Wudang Mountain Tourist and Economic Special Zone, Shiyan City for the conference, which runs through Wednesday, according to the Organizing Committee.
Major events include an international Tai Chi competition, a forum on the Tai Chi culture, a youth arts festival, a cultural heritage exploration and health consultations by traditional Chinese medicine experts.
An opening ceremony that featured traditional Taoist music, international video connections and a mass Tai Chi demonstration was held at the Yuxu Palace, one of the largest monasteries among the Wudang architectural complex, showcasing the historical significance and profound influence of Wudang Tai Chi culture to on-site and online audiences.
For centuries, Wudang Mountains have been known as an important center of Taoism, especially famous for its Taoist versions of martial arts or Tai Chi. The ancient palaces and temples here represent the highest standards of Chinese art and architecture over a period of nearly 1,000 years.
“Over 500 million people from 150 countries and regions practice Tai Chi and about 30,000 foreigners visit Wudang annually for Tai Chi studies,” said Wang Zhonglin, Governor of Hubei Province, in his opening speech.
He said that the Tai Chi culture, which had originated in Wudang, advocates the philosophical concept of harmony between nature and man, conveying the ideas of benevolence and inclusivity.
Huang Jianxiong, Party chief of the CPC Shiyan municipal committee, said that Tai Chi, as “a crystallization of Chinese traditional culture and an optimal activity for physical fitness”, enjoys global popularity and that the conference aimed to foster a fusion of sports, culture, and travel development.
The Wudang Tai Chi International Fellowship Competition kicked off on Sunday. The competition is divided into five age groups: children, youth, young adults, middle-aged adults and seniors. A total of 1,503 athletes registered, including 128 from overseas.

37th Beijing Badachu Chongyang Festival Activity
Beijing Daily
@DailyBeijing
999 Tai Chi enthusiasts performed #TaiChi together at #Badachu Park in #Beijing on the morning of Oct. 11, officially kicking off the 37th Beijing Badachu Chongyang Festival Activity.
Anyone ever been to Badachu park?
Reminds me of that ONE time when Falun Gong showed up on the CCP’s front lawn. 
I know we have a thread for what Asian Taijiquan Day was called previously but I can’t figure out how to search it out. I remember doing this search previously. If I find it again, I’ll merge the new thread.

The inaugural Asian Taijiquan Day was celebrated with a grand public performance in Beijing’s Fengtai district on Friday. The event brought together 3,210 tai chi enthusiasts from Fengtai, Haidian, and Shijingshan districts, who showcased the fundamental movements of tai chi in a synchronized and awe-inspiring display.
The highlight of the event was a special push-hands performance led by professor Huang Kanghui, a Chinese martial arts master and eight-time national tai chi push-hands champion from Beijing Sport University.
Accompanied by 100 tai chi practitioners from the university and the tai chi association of Haidian district, the demonstration highlighted the martial arts’ philosophy of “using softness to overcome hardness”. Following this, over 300 enthusiasts, including more than 30 international participants, performed the elegant tai chi fan dance.

The event was co-organized by the Wushu Administrative Center of the General Administration of Sport of China, the Chinese Wushu Association, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports to mark the first Asian Taijiquan Day. The initiative aims to promote national fitness and the cultural heritage of tai chi.
The Asian Taijiquan Day was officially established on Oct 10, 2024, during the 54th executive committee meeting of the Asian Sport for All Association (ASFAA). The date, March 21, was chosen to celebrate the widespread influence and cultural significance of tai chi across Asia and beyond.

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?
