The simplified 24 tai chi set was compiled in 1956 by the peoples republic of china sports council. The 24 forms or Beijing 24 forms was put together by a group of tai chi masters that sat on the council. Chairman Mao declared tai chi a national treasure. He promoted tai chi by supporting the publication of a series of official hand books for everyone to use. He did this because he knew that tai chi was good for the health of the mind, body and spirit. Mao wanted the Chinese people to be fit and healthy so that they would be happy during the rebuilding of China.
Mao liked all of the traditional Chinese medicines and knew that they worked because his armies had made use of tai chi and other traditional medicines during their struggle to gain power. Example: Mao's troops would apply acupressure to stomach point 36, this point they called three mile point because it was said that after applying acupressure to this point the troops would be able to walk an extra 3 miles (after all they did march for over 1,000 miles).

Heaven is eternal, and earth is long-lasting , why are they so enduring? because they do not live for themselves - Therefore the sage puts himself last and finds himself in the most foremost place, he does-not promote himself, thus he is preserved, because of this no thought for self he is fulfilled. Lao tzu
