中文简介：
非遗太极拳（王其和式）是晚清王其和先生在杨式小架的基础上，将武式太极拳的硬架与杨式太极拳的松柔、轻灵相融合，并借鉴形意、八卦等身法精要，而形成的一个以“磨转拧合，正中寓拗”为主要风格特征的太极拳流派。王其和太极拳以桩功为基，以劲法为本，以拳架为体，以推手、散手为用，其理法清晰、结构严谨、自成体系，强调体用兼备，注重武医结合，其动若磨转、步如趟泥、腰如虎坐、肩走鹰翻、手如抽丝、劲走螺旋、轻灵自然，形如扑鼠之猫，动作轻柔，发劲冷冽，无论形神皆有独特韵味。至今，已历百年六代。如今，王其和式太极拳已列为世界（2020）、国家（2014）、北京（2020）、海淀（2018）四级非物质文化遗产，也是北京大学校申报、保护、传承的项目。
本课程以拳架为主体，修身养性和技击攻防为两翼。在遵循非遗传承“本真性”要求的基础上，以攻防对抗为主要练习形式，通过基本功、桩法、拳架（节选）、劲法、推手、技击攻防与舍己从人的实践体验，以及动作原理的学习，使学生全面、系统、深入的了解这项非物质文化遗产的魅力，并借此了解太极拳背后隐含的人体生物力学原理、人体工程学原理与哲学原理，重新找回身体本有的智慧，增加文化认同感、文化自信与文化归属感。同时，本课程还可以提升学生的身体素质，增强身体控制力、感知敏锐度、 自我觉察力，培养学生健康的体魄和健全的人格，并促进其终身体育观的形成。
英文简介：
ICH Tai Chi Arts（Mr. Wang Qihe style）
The Wang-Style Tai Chi, founded by Mr. Wang Qihe in the late Qing Dynasty, is a unique style of Tai Chi developed from the Yang-style small frame. In Wang style, not only is the softness and agility of Yang style well blended into the Wu-style hard frame, but it has also assimilated into its system the essence of other traditional arts such as Xingyi and Bagua, thus forming a special school of Tai Chi, characterized by its spiraling force and quick easy grace. Practitioners of Wang style should accustom themselves to the soft, water-like moves in Tai Chi and remember to be always as agile as the mouse-catching cat.
From 1914 to 1921, Wang Qihe served in the Huiyou Security Bureau in Beijing. In 1913, Wang’s disciple Cao Shouhua was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University where he met Li Dazhao, who was also fond of martial arts. The two soon became close friends. Learning and practicing martial arts together, they also became comrades in battle when Cao joined the Communist Party under Li’s introduction. In 1938, Cao and Wang Jingfang (Wang Qihe’s son) escorted Deng Xiaoping and Chen Zaidao eastward and assisted them in establishing the revolutionary base in the south of Hebei. While Li and Cao sacrificed their lives for the Revolution in China, the Wang-Style Tai Chi survives and has thus formed an indissoluble bond with Peking University. Today, the Wang-Style Tai Chi has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage at the international (2020), national (2014), Beijing (2020) and Haidian (2018) levels. It is also a project declared, protected and inherited by the Peking University Headquarters.
This course offers an overview of Tai Chi, including tuishou (pushing hands), sanshou (sparring), postures, as well as the biomechanical, biotechnological and philosophical principles behind the Tai Chi moves. The aim of the course is to let students understand and inherit the essence of Chinese culture, to boost their cultural identification and confidence, and to promote their physical and mental fitness. By learning and practicing Tai Chi, students can enhance their coordination, balance and flexibility, activate certain muscle groups, strengthen their cores, and thus gain a better control of their bodies. Tai Chi is also helpful in curing spinal and pelvic problems, reducing daily sports injuries and developing life-long sports habits among students.
