Tai Chi Association was established in June 2002. Over the past 20 years, we have embarked on a struggle to connect the past and promote traditional culture. Before the establishment of the association, the older generation of Tai Chi masters led by Chang Jinquan, Cui Lushan and Liang Yuangui actively carried out promotion activities for Tai Chi in Nanshan Park with the help of the strong east wind of "developing sports and enhancing people's physical fitness". There are no ready-made instructors, they go out to study in other places; there are no audio equipment , they pay out of their own pocket. Whether it is the scorching sun or the cold weather in the past nine days, they insist on providing free services to Tai Chi enthusiasts, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the Municipal Tai Chi Association.

The number of members of the association has increased from more than 50 to more than 1,000, and there are currently 10 group members. There are more than 30,000 Tai Chi enthusiasts in the city, and they are active among the city's national fitness crowd every day.

No matter how sect or Tai Chi are, they advance together and seek development together. This is all thanks to the establishment of the Tai Chi Association. Second, the outstanding Tai Chi inheritors represented by Wang Zhongwen and Yang Jun led and cultivated a new generation of Tai Chi coaches and trainers, becoming the backbone of the popularization and promotion of Tai Chi sports in Yangquan City.Third, inheritance is orderly and successors are there. It is said that the disciples have grown from five or six in the year when the association was established to about 180 now. They love Tai Chi, learn Tai Chi, and pass on Tai Chi, shoulder their mission, forge ahead, and inherit and carry forward the traditional Chinese culture with a good spirit.
Tai Chi Association sponsors represented by Wang Zhongwen, Yang Jun, Wang Wenhua, Li Ruizhen, Zhang Quanqin, Liu Haijian, Wang Jiaming, etc., devoted their enthusiasm for the establishment and development of the association. At the beginning of its establishment, the association organized more than 120 Tai Chi enthusiasts to take a bus to Shibapan, Yu County, planted more than 1,000 small saplings, and built the "Yangquan Tai Chi Sunset Red Garden Garden" on the barren mountain. At the same time, it provided the spiritual food of Tai Chi culture to the people in the remote mountainous areas. Looking back 20 years ago, Wang Wenhua still remembers everything from the beginning of the drafting of the articles of association, the establishment of the legal representative to the reporting of the Municipal Sports Bureau and the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau to the approval of the establishment meeting. He said that the poem he wrote was inspired by the day of planting trees, "Tai Chi hit the 18 plates", which was published in " Yangquan Daily ", which greatly encouraged the newly established Tai Chi Association. It is said that it has grown into a big forest there now, and we also hope that Tai Chi will become towering trees like a sapling, allowing more people to participate in this fitness exercise, so that Tai Chi will take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit on the land of Yangquan .
