Synopsis

This book contains an in-depth analysis of Zhang San-Feng's Tai Ji Quan Treatise, the most important document of all Tai Ji Quan classical literature. Olson's commentary provides clear descriptions on each verse of the treatise and how it applies to actual Tai Ji practice.

Zhang San Feng (Three Peaks Zhang), a Daoist priest of the 12th century, is credited with the creation of Tai Ji Quan and several works on Nei Dan (Internal Alchemy). Reportedly living 170 years, his life spanned from the late Song dynasty through the Yuan and into the early Ming dynasty. Zhang s life exemplified the Chinese ideal of a true wandering immortal. The Tai Ji Quan Treatise shows not only the depth of his knowledge, but the great historical influence Tai Ji Quan has had in the world.
