China Daily/Asia News Network Two new entries from China, Taijiquan and the Wangchuan ceremony, were added to Unesco's intangible cultural heritage list on Thursday (Dec 17). Taijiquan, also known as tai chi, is a traditional physical practice characterized by relaxed, circular movements that works in harmony with breath regulation and the cultivation of a righteous and neutral mind. The two items were added to the list during the 15th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage, which is being held virtually, from Monday (Dec 14) until Saturday (Dec 19), and hosted by Jamaica. Originating during the mid 17th century in Wenxian county in Henan Province in central China, it is now practiced throughout China by people of all ages and by different ethnic groups, according to the official website of Unesco.
