碩士 === 國立臺灣體育學院 === 體育研究所 === 90 === Recently, there is a trend toward “Eastern Body” in the world of arts. Many predecessors found their inspiration from Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Kung, Yoga, and meditation. Because of the great interests in this trend, body exploration, and practice in Tai Chi Chuan and dancing, the author constructed this article for those who work with and communicate with their own bodies. As proposed above, this study tried to build up “the Body Perspectives of Tai Chi” In the thought of Tai Chi, theories on discrimination of Yin-Yang, interactions among five elements, and manifestations of eight trigrams（Ba-Kua）were adopted for observing the relationship between body and environment. On the other hand, operation and symptoms appeared in the body were discussed with the aspects of Qi, motor principles, effort analysis, and practice methods in Chuan.As a result, combining these two major frames, the whole construction of “the Body Perspectives of Tai Chi” was developed. Hermeneutics and reference analysis were chosen for study methods. The core stand is “Tai Chi- Body” introduced by traditional Chinese Taoists, Chinese medicine doctors, and Tai Chi Chuan experts. Additional statements were reviewed from Qi Kung, Somatics, Eastern Body culturology, the trend toward Eastern Body in Dancing.
