中国Z世代如何接棒太极？

Zeng Qitian began practicing martial arts at just 3 years old. Now 17, the Changsha teen has spent 14 years with Taijiquan, becoming a seventh-generation inheritor of Yang Style Taijiquan and a fourth-generation inheritor in the Chu Guiting lineage. He has also won provincial Taijiquan titles in Hunan for two consecutive years.

3岁开始习武，17岁的长沙少年曾麒天已经与太极相伴14年。作为杨式太极拳第七代、褚桂亭太极拳第四代传人，他还连续两年获得湖南省太极拳武术锦标赛竞赛套路冠军。

For Zeng, passing on tradition does not mean leaving it unchanged. While joining his family in promoting this living heritage, he also hopes to use short videos and social media to introduce Taijiquan — better known in the West as Tai Chi — to more young people.

对曾麒天来说，传承并不意味着一成不变。跟随父母参与太极推广的同时，他也希望未来通过短视频和新媒体，让更多年轻人了解这项古老的中国武术。

From the training hall to the digital world, China’s Gen Z is giving an ancient tradition a new voice.

从拳馆到社交媒体，一项传承数代的传统，正在中国Z世代手中找到新的表达方式。
