The first book-length ethnography of a Chinese martial arts association, the book tackles the general question of how human beings form viewpoints of themselves and others through the practice of an art--in this case, the art of taijiquan (a.k.a. tai chi). The first half of the book focuses on the author's own experience of studying taijiquan with teachers in the People's Republic of China and the United States, then expands the discussion to include taijiquan as national symbol, taijiquan in the context of urban China, and the globalization of Chineseness through taijiquan.

Traditional Chinese Exercises offers detailed insights into practical ways of rebuilding one's physique and keeping physically fit through well-matched illustrations. In addition to exploring such "regular exercises" as Qi-Gong and Taiji, it also investigates a number of traditionally practiced "minor exercises" that, without being too time-consuming, can easily be incorporated into one's daily routine. Furthermore, the book also provides valuable insights into the Chinese philosophies of life and behavior that are embodied in these exercises.
