The Tai-Chi series depicts a concept of deep interior spirit and exterior form simple. This artwork is Ju, Ming's magnum opus among his Tai-Chi series about single movements, marking the birth of unique characteristics of his works. He is famous for creating dynamism out of structural balance by simplifying the form of artwork with swift carving skills in which he excels the most.
The work is derived from the movement 'Single Whip' in Tai-chi and preserves the spiritual element without depicting all the details. Simple in form and enhanced in kinesthetic, this artwork fully represents the clever and courageous look of a ready person who stores huge energy under his calm appearance through big segments and balanced design.
