Traditional Chinese Culture: Yin and Yang, TCM, and Taichi

Professor Yiping Chen of Jinan University, China intends to present on the idea of ying and yang, the root of Chinese philosophy, and its manifestations in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tai chi.

In the talk “Traditional Chinese Culture: Yin and Yang, TCM, and Taichi”, Professor Yiping Chen of Jinan University, will emphasize the health benefits of taichi and engage audiences with an interactive demonstration. The main point he would like to make is this: taichi will slow you down, downshifting your body first and then your mind.  In this way, the taichi practitioners are afforded the opportunity to live their lives more in the present tense and reclaim a feeling of being in the driver’s seat, ultimately achieving an interior and exterior harmony.

The talk will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity for discussion with Professor Chen.
