13 Essences of Tai Chi
The 13 Essences of Tai Chi are the underlying principles to which the Tai Chi movements should conform.
These Essences can be viewed as two aspects: the Eight Powers - beng, lou, ji, an, cai, lei, zhou and kao - and the 5 Directional Balances - zhong, qian, hou, zuo and you.
Each TaiChi movement should be played within the context of these 13 Essences showing particular charactersitics from both aspects.
