太极学说源自三千年前的《易经》。孔子在《系辞传》中说“易有太极,是生两仪,两仪生四象,四象生八卦”。《汉书·艺文志》说:“易道深,人更三圣,世历三古。”三圣指上古伏羲、中古的周文王姬昌、近古的孔子。三古指夏、商、周。易经的成书历经四千至三千年前。 Tai Chi theory stems from three thousand years ago, “Book of Changes.” Confucius said in the speech of “Department of Ci-syllabary” that “Yi Taiji is easy, two students are born, two students are born four images, and four images are students.” “Han Yi Wen Zhi,” said: “Yi Dao Shen, people more San San, the Three Kingdoms.” Three holy refers to the ancient Fu Xi, the ancient Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, the ancient Confucius. Three ancient refers to the summer, business, weeks. The Book of Changes after four thousand to three thousand years ago.
