Resumen

Tai-Chi (also spelled Taiji or Taijiquan), the ancient Chinese martial art rooted in Taoist philosophy, emphasizes harmony, balance, and continuous motion embedded with mathematical geometric shapes. This work explores the rich intersections between Tai-Chi principles and mathematical structures such as the Lo Shu Magic Square, Fibonacci numbers, Golden Ratio, Lambdoma harmonics, and geometric forms like spirals and circles. We propose a novel framework for mathematics-guided Tai-Chi practice, demonstrating how mathematical concepts can inform movement design, enhance body awareness, and deepen meditative engagement. Drawing on empirical case studies and theoretical analysis, we illustrate how integrating these principles offers new pathways for physical training, cognitive enrichment, and interdisciplinary education. This synthesis invites a new image of Tai-Chi as both a somatic art and a living model of mathematical harmony.
