Taiji · Supreme Polarity / Dynamic Unity of Yin and Yang
【中文】
太极，指整体开始分化、关系开始显现的动态统一状态。
它并非某种具体之物，而是阴阳、动静、虚实等关系得以展开与运行的根本结构。
【English】
Taiji refers to the dynamic state in which unity gives rise to differentiation and relational order.
It is not a material entity, but the fundamental structure through which yin and yang, movement and stillness, and polarity emerge.
【中文】
如果说无极代表未分化的整体本源，那么太极则是分化开始、关系显现的阶段。
在这一层面上，阴阳不再潜藏，而是作为相对而统一的两端开始运行。
太极并不意味着对立和冲突，而是一种动态平衡的结构。
阴中有阳，阳中有阴，二者相互依存、相互制约，并在持续变化中保持整体的和谐。
在太极修行与养生实践中，太极体现为身心内部各种关系的协调与贯通。
当上下相随、内外相应、动中有静、静中有动时，整体便呈现出太极应有的状态。
【English】
If Wuji represents undifferentiated unity, Taiji marks the stage where differentiation and relational dynamics begin.
At this level, yin and yang emerge as complementary poles within an integrated whole.
Taiji does not imply opposition or conflict, but a structure of dynamic balance.
Yin contains yang, yang contains yin; they mutually generate, restrain, and transform each other while maintaining overall harmony.
In Taichi practice and cultivation, Taiji manifests as the coordination of internal relationships within body and mind.
When upper and lower, inner and outer, movement and stillness are integrated, the state of Taiji naturally appears.
太极是一种关系结构，而非实体形态；是一种运行方式，而非固定状态。
Taiji describes a relational structure and mode of operation, not a fixed form or static entity.

它用于说明万象如何在阴阳互动中生成、变化与归一，是理解宇宙秩序与生命运行的重要框架。
