Ju Ming was born in Tongxiao Town, Miaoli County in 1938. A child from a poor family, the sculpting master Li Jinchuan became his teacher when he was 15 and thus he began his lifelong career of sculpting. At the age of 31, he became a student of Yuyu Yang and gradually grew from an ordinary sculptor into an artist craftsman. During this period he mostly took local scenery as his theme, but was already groping his way toward modern sculpture. From the earliest tradition of realistic creation to the expression of considerable abstract concepts in his late period, from wood sculpture to the diversified application of materials, his work was perpetually changing with a diversified outlook.

Following his teacher Yuyu Yang's advice, Ju Ming began to learn Taichi for physical fitness. During the practice, he realized the spirit of Taichi and used it as an inspiration for his work. His Taichi sculpture series in the 1970s earned a reputation for him in Asian art circles. Using thick wood to show the gentleness of Taichi boxing, he applied freehand modeling and blocks to show the power and vigor of Taichi. His technique was skillful and overwhelming, displaying the delicacy of the art at every stroke of sculpting.

This wood sculpture "Taichi Duo" is delicate in size and simple in structure. Ju Ming was not rigidly confined to the expression of the Taichi moves, but rather focused on the spirit of Taichi. As a result, the seemingly simple posture actually implies an amazing burst of energy.
