Taiji (filosofia)

Taiji (chinês tradicional: 太極, chinês simplificado: 太极, lit. ‘grande polo’) é um termo cosmológico chinês para o estado "final supremo" do potencial absoluto e infinito indiferenciado, a unicidade antes da dualidade, a partir do qual Yin e Yang se originam, em contraste com o Wuji (無極, "sem viga mestra").^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]

O termo taiji e sua outra grafia t'ai chi (usando o sistema Wade-Giles em oposição ao sistema Pinyin) são usados mais comumente no ocidente para se referir ao taijiquan (ou t'ai chi chuan, 太極拳), uma arte marcial interna, sistema chinês de meditação e prática terapêutica. Este artigo, entretanto, se refere apenas ao uso do termo na filosofia chinesa e no confucionismo, taoismo e budismo.
