III. The logo of Taiji Quan- Taiji Diagram
中国古代流传的“太极图”在宋代得到了广泛的传播。“太极图”是 一张研究易学原理的重要图形，包含了天地万物的普遍规律。周敦颐的 《太极拳说》论述了太极本身是阴阳、动静、刚柔的对立统一体，阴阳、五 行、八卦理论是“易”学的最高原则，而这些原则都尽藏于太极图之中，太 极图就是易学的代表图。以太极命名拳术,太极图也就相应地成了太极
拳的图徽。可以说，太极拳的众妙法门 尽在此一图中。
太极图中，黑色部分代表阴，白色部 分代表阳。黑、白部分又被生动地称作为 黑、白鱼。黑鱼和白鱼相互依存、相互转 化。黑鱼(阴)和白鱼(阳)之间的和谐与 平衡共同构筑了所谓的太极态。
黑白泾渭分明，但又蕴涵着相互转化 之意。太极图中所展示的阴阳是不断变 化的,所谓阴不离阳、阳不离阴，阴即是 阳，阳即是阴。
太极图是圆的，相应的太极拳亦是处处成圆。随曲就伸的太极拳动 作十分符合人体的自然弯曲，从而把阴阳互变演绎得浑然天成、妙趣横 生。
The Taiji diagram coming down from Ancient China was widely spread in the Song Dynasty (960 ~ 1279 ). The Taiji diagram is an important figure to study the theory of changing, including the universal rules of the world. In Diagrams and Illustrations of Taiji of Zhou Dunyi (1017 ~1073 ), it is written that Taiji is itself a unity of yin and yang, of motion and motionless, of strength and softness, and the highest principle of changing is the theory of yin and yang, while all hidden in the Taiji diagram. The Taiji Diagram is the representative symbol of Taiji Quan. As boxing was named with Taiji, the Taiji diagram is accordingly becoming the emblem of Taiji Quan. We can say that all arts of Taiji Quan are in the Taiji diagram.
In the Taiji diagram, the black part represents yin and the white represents yang. The black and white parts can also be called black and white fishes. The two fishes supplement each other, transform themselves into each other and depend on each other. The harmony and balance between the black fish (yin) and the white fish (yang) constitute the harmonious Taiji state.
There is a clear distinction between the black and the white. Every yin and yang element has a tendency to transform itself into its opposite. This is why the Taiji diagram seems to be changing constantly and continuously, just like flowing water.
The Taiji diagram is round in shape. Yin and yang are in a constant state of hannonious coexistence and soft transformation. The curved movements of Taiji Quan conform best to the natural state of the structure of the human body, making it easy to transform and adjust the yin and yang relationship within it smoothly and naturally.
