◎Tai Chi Culture

Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang,the two great Tai Chi masters,were born in the present-day Guangfu,Yongnian District of Handan,during Emperor Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1821-1850),making Yongnian County the birthplace of the two major schools of Tai Chi,the Yang style and the Wu style. Over the next hundred years,these two styles spread widely,especially the Yang style,which pioneered the physical activity of martial arts,and made it easy to practice. It is from here that Tai Chi has spread throughout the country and even to the world and become a fitness sport loved by millions of people. As a scientific human body culture integrating martial arts,art of healing,and guiding technique,Tai Chi has attracted the attention and love of experts,scholars and martial arts lovers all over the world. Tai Chi Culture of Guangfu has been recorded in history and Yongnian is thus known as Home to Tai Chi. Today,Tai Chi Culture,represented by Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang,has become a link of health and friendship between Hebei and even China,and the world.(https://www.daowen.com)
