　　《太極漢語》從太極入手，是一本內(nèi)容較為豐富的漢語教材。每課先介紹一兩個跟太極相關(guān)的概念，解釋其文化背景及其中漢字的讀音和字形、字義演變，接著教授一些字詞、日常會話和漢語背景知識，然后是太極練習和心得，外加游戲性質(zhì)的漢語練習。整本書從太極的角度體現(xiàn)了漢語和中國文化的博大精深。 The structure and presentation of this book is simple， to be aimed to provide readers a a happy learning experience. Each lesson opens with an introduction to the main concept of Taiji. The appearance order of these Taiji concepts is arranged based on both their importance in Daoist philosophy and their level of complexity in Chinese language. It then will be followed by a brief examination of the historical development of its pictogram. In order to help readers effectively acquire the knowledge that is introduced in each lesson， each lesson will introduce some key concepts of Daoist philosophy that underpins the development of Taiji forms， plus some personal learning experience of Taiji Yangsheng exercises. Alongside above contents， essential Taiji Yangsheng skills and the whole set of Qingcheng Taiji Six forms including both standing style and moving style which is invented by Abbot Liu Suibin， the Head of the Qingcheng Martial Arts School， will be introduced.
