The Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy is a spiritual menpai (a notion similar to a
“school”) founded in Taiwan by Dr. Hong Tao-Tze in 1966, which teaches Qi
Gong, based on the ancient philosophy of Daoism, and spiritual cultivation. Tai Ji
Men prefers to be called a “spiritual” rather than a “religious” organization. It does

and yang, and self-cultivation.
