Ohio Wushu Academy

Today, I taught three classes at the private school Columbus Academy, bringing Tai Chi culture into the campus.
It wasn’t just about movements, but about the spirit—sharing my story, passing on peace and love, and talking about my personal journey and next goals.

What truly moved me was seeing several children who have trained in martial arts with me since they were very young. Seeing them grow with confidence and positive energy was incredibly inspiring and reaffirmed why this work matters so much to me.

Tai Chi is more than a practice—it lives in the heart, in the way, and in the future.
Tai Chi in culture ☯️ brings peace to the world.

上师传徒以道：
中师授徒以艺：
下师以名利相与、以酒肉相悦.

上徒尊其师，重其道，以师言为圭臬，以师行为明鉴，严以律己，历练身心；

中徒或信或疑，或勤于修习或怠惰好逸，终究难得真传；

下徒以师为靠山、为盖伞，勤于攀附，谄媚，在索取与供奉中各取所需。

师父领进门，修行在个人。师父只能指路。能不能走下去，能走多远，全在弟子自己。在走的过程中，师父会做个拐杖、做盏明灯，与弟子相伴。
成为师徒，需要缘份。人世匆匆，苦海茫茫，若得遇明者为师，乃三生之幸；若得遇圣者为师，则为万世之缘、万世之幸！

若已遂愿，就不要辜负了，茫茫苦海中那盏引航的明灯.

Happy Lunar New Year！ 🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧Introduction to Chinese Spring FestivalThe Chinese Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year, is one of the most important and grand traditional festivals in China. With a history spanning thousands of years, the festival celebrates the arrival of the new year and offers blessings for health, happiness, and prosperity. It marks the end of the lunar year and the beginning of the new year, typically lasting from the 23rd or 24th day of the 12th lunar month (known as “Little New Year”) to the 15th day of the first lunar month (Lantern Festival), spanning over two weeks.Origin of the Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival originated from ancient Chinese agricultural and sacrificial traditions. In ancient times, people held rituals to honor ancestors and gods, praying for favorable weather and abundant harvests in the coming year. According to legend, the festival is also associated with the mythical beast “Nian.” It is said that the beast would appear on New Year’s Eve to harm people and livestock. Over time, people discovered that “Nian” feared the color red, firelight, and loud noises. To ward it off, they began using red decorations, hanging lanterns, and setting off firecrackers—customs that continue to this day.Traditional Customs of the Spring Festival 1. Cleaning and Preparing for the New YearBefore the festival, people thoroughly clean their homes (known as “sweeping the dust”) to symbolize removing the old and welcoming the new. They also shop for New Year’s goods, including food, clothing, and decorations. 2. Putting Up Spring Couplets and “Fu” CharactersFamilies decorate their doorways with red spring couplets and the character “福” (Fu), which means “blessing” or “fortune.” Hanging the “Fu” character upside down symbolizes that “blessings have arrived.” 3. New Year’s Eve Reunion DinnerNew Year’s Eve is the most significant time of the Spring Festival. Families gather to enjoy a reunion dinner, which often includes dishes like fish (symbolizing “surplus every year”) and dumplings (symbolizing unity and wealth). 4. Staying Up Late on New Year’s EveMany people stay up late on New Year’s Eve, bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new. 5. New Year Greetings and Red EnvelopesOn the first day of the new year, people visit relatives and friends to exchange greetings and blessings. Elders give children red envelopes containing money (“lucky money”), symbolizing blessings for safety and good fortune. 6. Fireworks and FirecrackersSetting off fireworks and firecrackers is a key custom of the Spring Festival. It adds to the festive atmosphere and serves as a way to ward off evil spirits. 7. Lantern FestivalThe Spring Festival concludes with the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. People celebrate by admiring lantern displays and eating tangyuan (sweet rice balls), symbolizing family reunion and happiness.Modern Significance of the Spring FestivalIn modern times, the Spring Festival is not only a time for family reunions but also a celebration of Chinese culture. With globalization, its influence has spread far beyond China, becoming an international event that showcases Chinese traditions. Through dragon and lion dances, temple fairs, and celebrations by overseas Chinese communities, more people worldwide experience the unique charm and rich heritage of the Spring Festival.The Spring Festival represents reunion, hope, and blessings. No matter where one is, it remains the warmest and most cherished festival in the hearts of Chinese people.
