ZhangSanfeng,a13th-centuryTaoist（道士）,wassaidtohaveinventedtaichiafterdrawinginspirationfromafightbetweenasnakeandabird.張三豐，一個(gè)13世紀(jì)的道士，據(jù)說(shuō)在從蛇與鳥(niǎo)的纏斗中汲取靈感后，創(chuàng)立了太極拳。However,nowadayspeople

tendtobelievethatChenWangting,a17th-centurymasterofChinesemartialarts,developedtaichi【basedonmartialartsskills】.不過(guò)，如今人們傾向于認(rèn)為是17世紀(jì)的武術(shù)大師陳王廷【根據(jù)武術(shù)技巧】開(kāi)發(fā)了太極拳。Nowondersometaichimovesarenamedafteranimals——Chinesemartialartshavealong-standing（長(zhǎng)期的；悠久的）practiceofimitatinganimals.（Itis）nowonder（that）

難怪……；…不足為奇由于中國(guó)武術(shù)中模擬動(dòng)物的做法由來(lái)已久，太極拳的部分招式以動(dòng)物來(lái)命名也就不足為奇了。ChenWangting'soriginalsetofmovesiscalledChen-styletaichi,butotherstylesoftaichihavesince（此后）beendeveloped,includingYang-style,Wu-styleandSun-style.陳王廷最初創(chuàng)編的招式稱(chēng)為陳氏太極拳，但是其他門(mén)類(lèi)的太極拳此后也被發(fā)展出來(lái)，包括楊氏太極拳、吳氏太極拳和孫氏太極拳。
