The cosmogony that believes that “Taiji produces the two appearances” provides important guiding ideology for the application of Qi in Taijiquan as well as the formation and development of Taijiquan. The cosmo-ontology that believes that “everything has a Taiji” is the philosophical basis of the Taijiquan ontology. The dialectical thought “the interaction between yin and yang is called Dao” provides the construction way for Taijiquan. The thought of “harmony between human and nature” provides the prototype for the thinking style of Taijiquan. In addition, Taiji also implies the moral standard of “be kind, be upright, be modest and be respectful, temper force with grace” and the life philosophy of “constant striving to become stronger and holding the world’s substance with one’s virtue”. 　　 　　Key words: The Book of Changes; The cosmogony of Taiji; The cosmo-ontology of Taiji; The dialectical thought of yin and yang; The thought of “harmony between human and nature”; The theory of Taijiquan 　　 　　太极拳，早期曾称为“长拳”、“绵拳”、“十三势”、“软手”。一般认为，清朝乾隆年间，山西人王宗岳著《太极拳论》，从此确定了太极拳的名称。一般认为，太极拳是以古代阴阳五行学说及道教内丹的易学思想为的哲学基础，结合了古代导引、吐纳气功之术和中医经络学说，吸收了明代名家拳法，特别是戚继光的三十二势长拳综合而成。太极拳区别于其他传统民间武术的本质在于，它以极其丰富的哲理性来指导人体生命之科学锻炼[1]，以哲学为创拳的理论基础和行拳的根本。《周易》这部“最正确、最有体系、洵吾炎胄裔所堪自诩之宝典”[2]，在中国文化史上长期以来一直被崇奉为“群经之首，大道之源”。从《周易》来追根溯源，探讨太极拳的理论基础，有助于人们从根本上更加深刻地了解和认识太极拳基本
