On the Interpretation of the Cultural Connotation in Taijiquan Based on the English Version of Tai Ji Classics

Tai Ji Classics by Wang Zongyue is always honored as the masterpiece of the leading scholar of Taijiquan in the theory of Wu School.It is found in the contrast and comparison of the three English versions that the transliteration serves as one of the most important methods to translate those terminologies and the regulation of transliteration lies in the use of Chinese Pinyin instead of the traditional Wade-Giles Romanization.The good understanding of those specific notions about Taijiquan,such as zou(go or walk),nian(sticky or stick),sui(follow or comply with) and shuangchong(double or dual),and the accurate interpretation of its cultural connotation is the key to the guarantee of the translation quality related to the classical theory of Taijiquan.
