"Taichi Series - Arch" originally evolved from "Taichi Pushing Hands". The artist said: "There are distances between two objects in the 'Pushing Hands' from the past, now, I have connected those too hands, once they are connected, the flow of chi, and movements of muscles are connected and alive, becoming a single object, and are transformed to an arch."

Far from being just a martial art, Taichi is unrestrained and graceful, the relationship of two boxers are like the Chinese Ying Yang, pushing hands between two formed Taichi. Ju Ming was inspired by nature when he practiced Taichi,
and gradually completed his world–famous Taichi Series. Among the series, "Arch" is one of the liveliest pieces of work.

The uniqueness of the "Taichi Series - Arch" lies in its harmonious coexistence with the corner where it is located. It has gradually become an important component of the surroundings, integrating the Oriental philosophical thinking of the union of heaven and earth in the gardens of China. The intensity presented by the sculpture, regardless of its size, is unrestricted. Perhaps the feeling of infinite extent is a result of the spiritual character it is endowed with by Ju Ming
