Majors Schools of Taijiquan
There are five traditional schools of taijiquan: Chen, Yang, Wu/Hao, Wu and Sun – of which only the first will be introduced here – and two overarching groups of so-called frames, or paradigms: one based on old frames and one based on new frames. The old frame is said to have been created by Chen Wangting, one of the great masters of taiji quan and the founder of the Chen school of taiji quan. Both of these paradigms include boxing routines, where the boxing referred to was so-called empty-handed boxing (nothing either in or on the hand), while today, taiji quan, practiced as a competition sport, generally makes use of boxing gloves, so as not to cause lasting bodily harm.
Let the Bullets Fly 让子弹飞(2010)
Although actor-turned-director Jiang Wen's 2007 arthouse film "The Sun also Rises (太阳照常升起 tàiyáng zhàocháng shēng qǐ)" failed him with takings of only 20 million yuan, his latest offering "Let the Bullets Fly (让子弹飞 ràng zǐdàn fēi) (2010) " is expected to do well during the New Year season's box-office battle.
The Origin of Taijiquan
Taijiquan, according to one legend, was developed by a Taoist immortal (the Buddhist equivalent would be one who has achieved nirvanna) by the name of Chang San-feng (alternatively, Zhang Sanfeng ) who was inspired to develop this internal wushu discipline while witnessing a duel between a cobra and an eagle. Chang San-feng was impressed by the defensive tactics deployed by the snake (had the cobra attempted to flee it would have been paralyzingly wounded by the eagle's piercing peck, then strangled to death in the clutch of the eagle's powerful claws). By controlling its fear and maintaining total concentration on the eagle's various lunges and retreats, the cobra managed not only to avoid being hit by the eagle's deadly pecks, but itself managed to deliver a fatal blow to the eagle's neck, killing it.

What is Taijiquan?
Taijiquan – also written alternately as taijiquan, t'ai chi and tai chi chuan – is an "internal" (wudang) Chinese martial art (in contrast to the "external" (shaolin) Chinese martial arts. The distinction being looked upon today as a perhaps unnecessary, hair-splitting argument that took place within China's martial arts community of the period 5th century CE, regarding whether the focus should be on mastering strictly the physical techniques associated with martial arts, or mastering these in connection with the mastery of one's own unique abilities, or 'getting in touch with one's qi', or life force, as it were, in a mind over matter sense).

Chinese Film: Teeth of Love 爱情的牙齿
Set in China in the '70s and '80s, Teeth of Love tells the tale of three painful romances in the life of Qian Yehong（钱叶红 Qián Yèhóng） (played by Yan Bingyan), as a young woman and in middle age. And while the film is all about love – unlike most films set in this era, which usually focus on how China was affected socially – director Zhuang Yuxin's（庄宇新 Zhuāng Yǔxīn） take is a particularly pessimistic one: His characters are forever suffering. There are female and male protagonists – all tortured by love.
