Meaning
Inside the meaning of the words, Viet Tai Chi, there is the first, main difference amongst Viet Tai Chi and the other Arts, all coming from the same derivation, as in example Tai Chi Chuan. These two different names were transposed into occidental languages as equal meanings, but they aren't. They derivate from deeply different . In Chinese, Tai Chi is the Supreme Everything (as in Vietnamese it is the Thai Cuc), and Chuan is a martial art fighting term. Vietnamese words, composing the name Viet Tai Chi, have a different meaning:
- Viet: elevate oneself
- Tai: cultivating
- Chi: energy
So Viet Tai Chi means "CULTIVATE ENERGY TO ELEVATE OURSELVES".

Famous quotes containing the word meaning:
“He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
