 "The tao of heaven and earth is none other than yin and yang. The transformation and combining of yin and yang arises naturally. Therefore, when stillness reaches its peak, there is movement, that is, yang follows yin; when movement reaches its peak, there is stillness, that is, yin follows yang." Ch’ang Nai-chou’s Writings, translated in Douglas Wile ‘Tai Chi’s Ancestors’ [Image: Landscape by Zhang Daqian]

Yin and Yang Rotate and Enter...

 “Yin and Yang Rotate and Enter, and Yin and Yang Rotate and Support." "This is the horizontal wheel posture, the twisted posture, or the shaking posture. The postures rotate continuously, and the ch'i also follows without stopping. The yin enters and the yang separates; the yang enters and the yin separates. The process continues without interruption, rotating to the left and right. Yin and yang rotate, entering and supporting.” Ch’ang Nai-chou’s Writings, translated in Douglas Wile ‘Tai Chi’s Ancestors’
