Professor Cheng was a master of five excellences meaning the five traditional Chinese arts. He was one of the last of a group of people who were taught the traditional teachings of Chinese culture. This translation is not written by an outsider but an insider, who lived and breathed the philosophy contain within this book.
He authoritatively corrects even other past Chinese translations of this work. Its availability is a treasure that should not be overlooked.
This book gives one an opportunity to begin understanding the depths of Chinese philosophy.

This book shows surprisingly that one can master the power of T'ai chi ch'uan without fully understanding the Taoist classic. His translation as any translation only corresponds to his views on the classic, and he makes it obvious that he is not aware of Taoist oral traditions. But it is still an interesting translation that correct quite a few common errors of translations by people whose mother language is not chinese.
