It is the slowest form of martial arts and is meant to improve the internal spirit. It is soothing to the soul and extremely invigorating. </p> - -<p>The founder of Taiji was Zhang Sanfeng (Chang San-feng), who was a monk of the Wu Dang (Wu Tang) Monastery and lived in the period from 1391 to 1459. His exercises stressed suppleness and elasticity as opposed to the hardness and force of other martial art styles. Several centuries old, Taiji was originally developed as a form of self-defense, emphasizing strength, balance, flexibility and speed. Tai Chi also differs from other martial arts in that it is based on the Taoist religion and aims to avoid aggressive forces. </p> - -<p>Modern Taiji includes many forms — Quan, Sword and Fan. Impacting the mind and body of the practitioners, Taiji is practiced as a meditative exercise made up of a series of forms, or choreographed motions, requiring slow, gentle movement of the arms, legs and torso. Taiji practitioners learn to center their attention on their breathing and body movements so that the exercise strengthens their overall mental and physical awareness. In a sense, Taiji is similar to yoga in that it is also a form of moving meditation, with the goal of achieving stillness through the motion and awareness of breath. To perform Taiji, practitioners have to empty their mind of thoughts and worries in order to achieve harmony. It is a great aid for reducing stress and improving the quality of life. </p> - -<p>In China and in communities all over the world, Taiji is practiced by young and old in the early morning hours. It's a great way to bring a new and fresh day!</p> - -<p>Check out our <a href="/gallery2/main.php">gallery</a>.</p> - -<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.taijiclub.org/gallery2/v/2006/group1b.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1"><img src="/gallery2/d/1836-2/group1b.jpg" /></a></div> - -<div style="text-align:center;">Click on photo to see HR version</div></div> -</body> -</html> - -<!-- vim: et sw=4 sts=4 ---> diff --git a/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/benchmarks/samples/Lexer/2.html b/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/benchmarks/samples/Lexer/2.html deleted file mode 100644 index a56445763..000000000 --- a/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/benchmarks/samples/Lexer/2.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,20 +0,0 @@ -<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;

Traditional T'ai Chi training is intended to teach awareness of one's own balance and what affects it, awareness of the same in others, an appreciation of the practical value in one's ability to moderate extremes of behavior and attitude at both mental and physical levels, and how this applies to effective self-defense principles.</p> -<table id="toc" class="toc" summary="Contents"> -<tr> -<td> -<div id="toctitle"> -<h2>Contents</h2> -</div> -<ul> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#Overview"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Overview</span></a></li> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#Training_and_techniques"><span class="tocnumber">2</span> <span class="toctext">Training and techniques</span></a></li> - -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#Styles_and_history"><span class="tocnumber">3</span> <span class="toctext">Styles and history</span></a> -<ul> -<li class="toclevel-2"><a href="#Family_tree"><span class="tocnumber">3.1</span> <span class="toctext">Family tree</span></a></li> -<li class="toclevel-2"><a href="#Notes_to_Family_tree_table"><span class="tocnumber">3.2</span> <span class="toctext">Notes to Family tree table</span></a></li> -</ul> -</li> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#Modern_T.27ai_Chi"><span class="tocnumber">4</span> <span class="toctext">Modern T'ai Chi</span></a> - -<ul> -<li class="toclevel-2"><a href="#Modern_forms"><span class="tocnumber">4.1</span> <span class="toctext">Modern forms</span></a></li> -</ul> -</li> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#Health_benefits"><span class="tocnumber">5</span> <span class="toctext">Health benefits</span></a> -<ul> -<li class="toclevel-2"><a href="#Citations_to_medical_research"><span class="tocnumber">5.1</span> <span class="toctext">Citations to medical research</span></a></li> -</ul> - -</li> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#See_also"><span class="tocnumber">6</span> <span class="toctext">See also</span></a></li> -<li class="toclevel-1"><a href="#External_links"><span class="tocnumber">7</span> <span class="toctext">External links</span></a></li> -</ul> -</td> -</tr> -</table> -<p><script type="text/javascript"> -//<![CDATA[ - if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); } -//]]> -</script></p> -<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tai_Chi_Chuan&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> - -<p><a name="Overview" id="Overview"></a></p> -<h2>Overview</h2> -<p>Historically, T'ai Chi Ch'üan has been regarded as a martial art, and its traditional practitioners still teach it as one. Even so, it has developed a worldwide following among many thousands of people with little or no interest in martial training for its aforementioned benefits to health and <a href="/wiki/Preventive_medicine" title="Preventive medicine">health maintenance</a>. Some call it a form of moving <a href="/wiki/Meditation" title="Meditation">meditation</a>, and T'ai Chi theory and practice evolved in agreement with many of the principles of <a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine" title="Traditional Chinese medicine">traditional Chinese medicine</a>. Besides general health benefits and <a href="/wiki/Stress_management" title="Stress management">stress management</a> attributed to beginning and intermediate level T'ai Chi training, many therapeutic interventions along the lines of traditional Chinese medicine are taught to advanced T'ai Chi students.</p> -<p>T'ai Chi Ch'üan as physical training is characterized by its requirement for the use of leverage through the joints based on coordination in relaxation rather than muscular tension in order to neutralize or initiate physical attacks. The slow, repetitive work involved in that process is said to gently increase and open the internal circulation (<a href="/wiki/Breath" title="Breath">breath</a>, body heat, <a href="/wiki/Blood" title="Blood">blood</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lymph" title="Lymph">lymph</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peristalsis" title="Peristalsis">peristalsis</a>, etc.). Over time, proponents say, this enhancement becomes a lasting effect, a direct reversal of the constricting physical effects of stress on the human body. This reversal allows much more of the students' native energy to be available to them, which they may then apply more effectively to the rest of their lives; families, careers, spiritual or creative pursuits, hobbies, etc.</p> - -<p>The study of T'ai Chi Ch'üan involves three primary subjects:</p> -<ul> -<li><b>Health</b> - an unhealthy or otherwise uncomfortable person will find it difficult to meditate to a state of calmness or to use T'ai Chi as a martial art. T'ai Chi's health training therefore concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind.</li> -<li><b>Meditation</b> - the focus meditation and subsequent calmness cultivated by the meditative aspect of T'ai Chi is seen as necessary to maintain optimum health (in the sense of effectively maintaining stress relief or <a href="/wiki/Homeostasis" title="Homeostasis">homeostasis</a>) and in order to use it as a soft style martial art.</li> -<li><b>Martial art</b> - the ability to competently use T'ai Chi as a martial art is said to be proof that the health and meditation aspects are working according to the dictates of the theory of T'ai Chi Ch'üan.</li> - -</ul> -<p>In its traditional form (many modern variations exist which ignore at least one of the above requirements) every aspect of its training has to conform with all three of the aforementioned categories.</p> -<p>The <a href="/wiki/Mandarin_%28linguistics%29" title="Mandarin (linguistics)">Mandarin</a> term "T'ai Chi Ch'üan" translates as "Supreme Ultimate Boxing" or "Boundless Fist". T'ai Chi training involves learning solo routines, known as <i>forms</i>, and two person routines, known as <i><a href="/wiki/Pushing_hands" title="Pushing hands">pushing hands</a></i>, as well as <i><a href="/wiki/Acupressure" title="Acupressure">acupressure</a></i>-related manipulations taught by traditional schools. T'ai Chi Ch'üan is seen by many of its schools as a variety of <a href="/wiki/Taoism" title="Taoism">Taoism</a>, and it does seemingly incorporate many Taoist principles into its practice (see below). It is an art form said to date back many centuries (although not reliably documented under that name before 1850), with precursor disciplines dating back thousands of years. The explanation given by the traditional T'ai Chi family schools for why so many of their previous generations have dedicated their lives to the study and preservation of the art is that the discipline it seems to give its students to dramatically improve the effects of stress in their lives, with a few years of hard work, should hold a useful purpose for people living in a stressful world. They say that once the T'ai Chi principles have been understood and internalized into the bodily framework the practitioner will have an immediately accessible "toolkit" thereby to improve and then maintain their health, to provide a meditative focus, and that can work as an effective and subtle martial art for self-defense.</p> -<p>Teachers say the study of T'ai Chi Ch'üan is, more than anything else, about challenging one's ability to change oneself appropriately in response to outside forces. These principles are taught using the examples of <a href="/wiki/Physics" title="Physics">physics</a> as experienced by two (or more) bodies in <a href="/wiki/Combat" title="Combat">combat</a>. In order to be able to protect oneself or someone else by using change, it is necessary to understand what the consequences are of changing appropriately, changing inappropriately and not changing at all in response to an attack. Students, by this theory, will appreciate the full benefits of the entire art in the fastest way through physical training of the martial art aspect.</p> - -<p><a href="/wiki/Wu_Chien-ch%27uan" title="Wu Chien-ch'uan">Wu Chien-ch'üan</a>, co-founder of the Wu family style, described the name <i>T'ai Chi Ch'üan</i> this way at the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/20th_century" title="20th century">20th century</a>:</p> -<dl> -<dd>"Various people have offered different explanations for the name <i>T'ai Chi Ch'uan</i>.
