Two Scales of Taiji 2 i

by Ming on 2026/08/27

	From the quiet wisdom of Wang Zongyue, who likened the body to a level and a wheel, to Chen Xin, who described Taijiquan as the subtle art of measurement, this essay follows a tradition that seeks balance not through force, but through understanding. In the hands of Hong Junsheng, these poetic ideas took on mechanical clarity, revealing the body as a system of “Two Scales”—one to listen, one to respond. Chen Zhonghua carries this vision forward, transforming still diagrams into a living machine of motion.
At first, the body appears as a pair of simple tools: the Děngzi, a delicate steelyard that senses and balances incoming force, and the catapult, coiled and ready to release power. Both are levers, turning quietly around a central axis. But levers, bound to their arcs, can only go so far. Then comes the shift: the body is no longer a set of levers—it becomes a system of gears.
(Based on: The Theory of Two Scales: Matching Opponent Force“, Perth, Australia, 2013.

What is Taijiquan? i

by Kelvin Ho on 2026/08/18

Screenshot

Here is my summary at this stage:

Taijiquan is our body expression of separation of yin and yang. There are different degrees, layers, and dimensions of separation, which are manifested as different levels of ability.

这是我现阶段对太极拳的总结：

太极拳就用身体来演绎分阴阳。怎样分可以有不同的程度、层次、维度，也是功力深厚的表现。

Two Scales of Taiji 1 i

by Ming on 2026/08/08

Dengzi (戥子) a Chinese scale is a model for the upper body actions of Taiji

First of all, the original intent of Taijiquan was never as a recreational sport for health. It was a martial art with a rigorous internal focus—one that is distinct from all other systems. This specific art is found only in Chen Village and the branches derived from it.

Taijiquan is about balance. Regardless of the method used, Taijiquan will weigh you like a balance scale. This “weighing” is the specialized method of Chen Style Taijiquan, a method absent in other martial systems.

While Taijiquan, Xing Yi Quan, and Bagua Zhang are all considered internal arts, Taijiquan is all-encompassing: it possesses what other styles have, but it also uniquely possesses what they do not.This is the method of weighing an opponent. No matter how heavy you are, I only need to nudge the counterweight one tiny notch on the scale to achieve balance. If you were lucky enough to have touched Grandmaster Hong Junsheng, you would understand this immediately; otherwise, it is not easy to grasp.

The scale is an object, and nudging a counterweight is merely an action. So, where is the “internal” in this? If you put one ton of weight on a scale and I move the counterweight just one unit to balance it—and you do not see that as “internal“—then you will never find the internal in this world. To seek intangibles like Jing (劲), Qi (氣), and Shen (神) without understanding this mechanics is to put the cart before the horse.
