太极试读：
光影太极
太极, 是中国古代最具特色和代表性的哲学思想之一。太极学说创建了无极、太极、阴阳、五行、八卦这一庞大的哲学思想体系。
太极拳，作为科学的运动形式，已经成为太极文化的最新标志。太极拳基于太极阴阳之理念，是汉民族辩证的理论思维与武术、艺术、引导术、中医等的完美结合，它以中国传统儒、道哲学中的太极、阴阳辩证理念为核心思想，集颐养性情、强身健体、技击对抗等多种功能为一体，是高层次的人体文化。
摄影，是西方的发明，历史短浅，性能独特; 即可真实地纪录历史，也可艺术地表现世界; 在人类进入读图时代的今天, 在数字技术改变世界的今日, 在社会生活和信息传播中发挥着越来越重要的作用。西方的摄影术和东方的太极拳两者之间本无关，但是李英杰先生的作品把它们紧紧地联系在一起，并巧妙的融汇为一体; 以行云流水般的笔墨, 呈现出阴阳的太极和光影的神奇。
2006 年5 月，国务院公布太极拳为第一批国家级非物质文化遗产；2007 年6 月，中国民间文艺家协会命名河南温县为“中国太极拳发源地”，并在温县建立“中国太极拳文化研究基地”。作为一个新温县人，李英杰不仅在工作上表达出对这片土地的热爱，在生活上也努力践行着对地方文化的传承。他用业余的摄影爱好，他用光影的艺术形式，竭力地探索对太极精神的演绎和诠释。
我原本认为，用摄影艺术来表现太极文化难免乏力和苍白，但是读了李英杰的作品后，令人感到非常意外，并为之深受感动。他的刻苦、勤奋、执著和坚定，找到了一条把摄影黑与白、虚与实的造型语言来表达太极文化阴与阳、静与动的文化精髓的视觉新天地，用现代的光影技艺诠释古代太极思想中从无形到有形、有形到无形、无形再到有形的哲学命题，似风，似雨，似说，似唱，似影，似画……《太极Ⅱ》，与其说是一部摄影作品集，不如说是一部太极文化书，它用有形的影像对无形的太极的进行了有益探索和大胆创新。

光影太极
影像史诗中，看到儒家中庸和谐的思想，悟出道家清净无为的追求，走进佛家禅定空无的境界，享受中国传统哲学思想的圆融和合与博大精深。李前光（作者系中国文学艺术界联合会副主席、中国摄影家协会顾问、中国摄影著作权协会主席）LIGHT AND CHIAROSCURO OF TAI CHI
Tai chi is one of the most unique and representative philosophy in ancient China. Tai chi theory created a vast system of philosophy consisting of Wu Chi, Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams.
As a scientific sport, Taijiquan has become the latest sign of Tai Chi culture. Perfectly combined with Chinese dialectical theoretical thinking, martial arts, art, Daoyin (breathing exercises) and traditional Chinese medicine, Taijiquan absorbs Tai Chi, Yin Yang from traditional Confucianism and Taoism. It is thus good for people to nature one’s temperament, physical fitness and improve one’s attacking and defending skills. It is a high-level culture about human body in some sense.
Photography is a Western invention with short history and unique performance; it not only truly record history, but also express the world in an artistic way; today, it is the time that human beings enter the era of pictures reading and the digital technology changes the world, photography plays an increasingly important role in the social life and information dissemination. Though Western photography has nothing to do with Eastern Tai Chi, Mr. Li Yingjie’s works closely link and masterly blend them into one. His natural and smooth photography shows the yin and yang in Tai Chi and the magic of light and chiaroscuro.
In May, 2006, the State Council announced Tai Chi for the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage; in June, 2007, the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association named Wen County “Birthplace of Chinese Tai Chi”, and founded “Chinese Tai Chi Cultural Research Base”. As a young native of Wen County, Li Yingjie not only expresses the love of the land at work, but also fulfills the inheritance of local culture on the life. As an amateur photographer, Mr. Li Yingjie tries his best to explore the deduction and interpretation of Tai Chi spirit through artistic form of light and chiaroscuro.
Originally I think, it would be inevitably weak and pale to express Tai Chi culture with photography art, but after reading the works of Li Yingjie, I feel surprised and deeply moved. His hard work, diligence, persistence and determination, find a visual new world that express the essence of Tai Chi culture (Yin and Yang, the static and dynamic) with photographic language (black and white, virtual and real). Meanwhile, another philosophical proposition can be found, using modern light and chiaroscuro art to interpret ancient Tai Chi thinking which intangibility generally turns into tangibility, tangibility transforms into intangibility, eventually, intangibility turns into tangibility. Just like the wind and rain, saying and singing, picturing and painting……
Tai Chi Ⅱ is more like a culture book rather than photography collection. As for intangible Tai Chi, it has carried on the beneficial exploration and bold innovation with visible image.
In this image epic of Light and Chiaroscuro of Tai Chi we believe that the readers will see the Confucian doctrine of harmonious thought in Tai Chi, understand the Taoism’s pursuit of purity, enter the Buddhism’s state of emptiness and meditation, enjoy the Chinese ancient philosophy of harmony and the broad wisdom.Li Qianguang(The author is vice chairman of China Federation of Literature and Art, adviser of China Photographers' Association and chairman of Images Copyright Society of China)
