The essence of the Tai Chi lies at experiencing one’s physical movement, one movement is balanced with stillness, it is calming and slowly moving and yet possesses an tremendous strong sprits at the same time, overall one’s mind is situated in a peaceful and self-realization stage despite the energy flows through the body. According to Ju Ming’s teacher, Yuyu Yang once said that “Ju Ming had been weak when he was young, and suffered from the pain”, yet these painful experiences made him stronger, as exhibited in his sharpen carvings from his works. Ju Ming believed that both sculpting and practicing Taichi originated from the same source of self-cultivation and self-exploration. From practicing Tai Chi to becoming an artist in sculpting, this journey did not go smoothly, but Ju Ming was able to carve his way out in becoming one of the internationally renowned artists.

Ju Ming had held his second exhibition at the Central Art Museum in Tokyo in 1978, in which Taichi Series attracted international attention for the first time. The forms of Tai Chi sculptures are straightforward and empowered with force, it is well-balanced. Ju Ming regarded art as self-cultivation. The artist's sculptures in the Taichi Series perfectly represent his high-level realm of following natural laws in which one shall detach from the surface, leaving materialism behind and focus on the essence of life.
