ZhangSanfeng,a13th-centuryTaoist（道士）,wassaidtohaveinventedtaichiafterdrawinginspirationfromafightbetweenasnakeandabird.張三豐，一個13世紀(jì)的道士，據(jù)說在從蛇與鳥的纏斗中汲取靈感后，創(chuàng)立了太極拳。However,nowadayspeople

tendtobelievethatChenWangting,a17th-centurymasterofChinesemartialarts,developedtaichi【basedonmartialartsskills】.不過，如今人們傾向于認(rèn)為是17世紀(jì)的武術(shù)大師陳王廷【根據(jù)武術(shù)技巧】開發(fā)了太極拳。Nowondersometaichimovesarenamedafteranimals——Chinesemartialartshavealong-standing（長期的；悠久的）practiceofimitatinganimals.（Itis）nowonder（that）

難怪……；…不足為奇由于中國武術(shù)中模擬動物的做法由來已久，太極拳的部分招式以動物來命名也就不足為奇了。ChenWangting'soriginalsetofmovesiscalledChen-styletaichi,butotherstylesoftaichihavesince（此后）beendeveloped,includingYang-style,Wu-styleandSun-style.陳王廷最初創(chuàng)編的招式稱為陳氏太極拳，但是其他門類的太極拳此后也被發(fā)展出來，包括楊氏太極拳、吳氏太極拳和孫氏太極拳。

Thepracticeoftaichiaimstomaintain（維持）thebalanceofyinandyanginthebody【throughopposite（相反的）movements:forwardsandbackwards,upanddown,leftandright,breathinginandbreathingout.】練習(xí)太極拳旨在【通過些相對的動作--進(jìn)退、上下、左右、吐納】來維持體內(nèi)的陰陽調(diào)和。
