四、阅读理解。〔人与社会——历史、社会与文化(传统文化)〕
If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing slow and beautiful movements. In fact, they are doing Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is an ancient martial art(武术). It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practise Tai Chi at present. UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) has added Tai Chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录) because Tai Chi is a symbol of Chinese culture. Many Tai Chi fans were happy to hear of it. “This will make Tai Chi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practising it,” said Chen. He is a Tai Chi master from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan Province. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style Tai Chi.
It's true that doing Tai Chi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely, and it can also make us stronger. During slow movements, we can focus on our hands and feet. We can control them better. Slow movements also help us take deep and long breaths.
Tai Chi also focuses on the harmony(和谐) between yin(阴) and yang(阳). It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang : dark and light, soft and hard, female and male. But they don't oppose each other absolutely(绝对地). After a dark night, the Sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing—that is how we should see the world.
Tai Chi carries traditional Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness.
