Abstract: Taijiquan and Daoyin Regimen are two unique cultural forms of Chinese sport health maintenance. Both originating from traditional Chinese culture, most researchers focus on their similarities but neglect their individualities. In order for both events to develop and people to do exercise properly, it is of great significance to clarify their essences and to definitely grasp their similarities and individualities. This research deeply analyzes their distinct differences from the three aspects of essential features, movement connotations and value pursuits.

Key words: Taijiquan, Daoyin Regimen, comparison research
