The roots of Taiji (T'ai Chi) go deep into Chinese history. Taiji was originally a martial arts practice called Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Chuan). Quan (Chuan) means fist or boxing. The art has a legendary beginning in the philosophy of Daoism (Taoism). Its origin comes as a part of the history of Zhang, Zhan-feng (Chang San-feng) who was highly enlightened, which allowed him the title of Immortal. Some argue that Zhang was mythic, others that he was historic.
