艺术与武学并行 · 太极与生命融合的旅程

成长背景

Jasmine Yiping Ni 生于中国四川的中医世家，自幼浸润在呼吸、经络、气功与身心调养的传统文化中。七岁时，她跟随父亲学习中医气功，八岁开始练习武术，包括长拳、南拳、刀术、剑术、棍术、九节鞭以及六合桩等内家拳。这些早期的训练为她后来走向太极与武当内家体系奠定了深厚的根基。

虽然自小在武术与中医中成长，但她的心始终向着艺术敞开。九岁开始学习钢琴与舞蹈，她在音乐与身体运动中找到了另一种生命表达的语言，中国文学、美学与艺术成为她成长路上不可或缺的滋养。

艺术生涯

高中时期，她被武警部队文工团特招，成为专业演员。从内陆到高原，她在部队文艺调演中屡获殊荣：双人舞在“川藏情”文艺调演中获二等奖；香港回归大型文艺调演一等奖；在四川省“青春风采”大赛中自6000多人中脱颖而出荣获银奖。她在文工团的岁月里接受系统的舞蹈、音乐、舞台表现力与艺术训练，并被部队先后送往青海艺术学院、四川行政学院继续深造。

转业后，她进入四川卫视担任主持人、编导，其创作的节目多次获全国长篇节目一等奖、新闻一等奖。之后考入中国传媒大学进修文艺编导和播音主持，毕业后进入中央电视台。在 CCTV 工作十年间，她先后任导演、主编、节目总监。优雅的镜头感、深厚的文学功底、创新的编辑、舞台艺术的底蕴，让她在媒体时代中持续绽放。

人生转折与升华

2017年，因家庭原因，Jasmine 移民至美国北卡三角区创办了美国东方文化研究院。在这片宁静的土地，她开始反思所走过的路：武术的根、舞蹈的魂、中医的气、艺术的美、生命的沉与浮，在太极中都找到了统一。她逐渐意识到：太极，是她生命里所有经历的汇聚点......

于是，Ping | Peaceful Tai Chi & Dance 诞生了——这是她人生所有积淀的融合与升华。

太极派别与武学传承

Jasmine Yiping Ni 承继自二十世纪太极宗师李经梧的正统体系。李经梧大师是陈式、杨式、吴式三大太极流派的正宗传人之一，他将这些传统精髓融会贯通，创造出独特的“经梧太极”，其中既有杨式的舒展中正，陈式的缠丝内劲，也有吴式的细腻柔化。

Jasmine 在这一深厚传承的基础上，不仅传承了这些太极的传统精髓，更将其与她人生阅历中的艺术造诣相结合，使她的太极既有武术的力量，又蕴含艺术的韵味，真正达到了“武中有艺，艺中有武”的境界。

同时，Jasmine 也是武当三丰派第十六代传人和行云剑术的第一代传人。她将武当剑术中“身剑合一、行云流水”的精髓融入太极剑教学，让学员在太极中既能体会内功的沉稳，又能感受到武当剑法的灵动飘逸。

使命与愿景

倪一平的愿望不仅仅是传播太极本身，而是希望将中国武术的力量、中华武当剑术的灵动、与东方舞蹈的美学气韵融为一种能够滋养现代人的生命艺术。

她相信，太极可以超越套路，成为一种疗愈身心的力量、一种连接文化的语言、一种让世界重新认识东方之美的方式。

她的使命，是让世界更多的人在太极中遇见力量、遇见平和、遇见更完整而平衡的自己。

Where Art Meets Martial Wisdom · A Life Woven Through Tai Chi

Early Life & Foundations

Jasmine Yiping Ni was born into a traditional Chinese medical family, immersed from childhood in the practices of breathwork, meridian theory, Qigong, and holistic healing. At the age of seven, she began studying medical and Qigong under her father’s guidance. By eight, she entered formal martial arts training—long fist, southern fist, broadsword, straight sword, staff, nine-section whip, and Liuhe Zhuang—forming a solid foundation in both external and internal martial traditions.

Yet even as she grew within the world of martial arts and traditional medicine, her heart remained irresistibly drawn to the arts. At nine, she began learning piano and dance. Music’s rhythm and dance’s flowing movement revealed to her a new language of life. Literature, aesthetics, and art soon became essential nourishment for her spirit.

Artistic Career

At 18, Jasmine was specially selected and admitted into a professional performing arts troupe.. Her performance won several awards: first prize in the duet dance category at the "Sichuan-Tibet Romance" performance festival; first prize in a large-scale gala celebrating Hong Kong’s return to China; and a silver medal in a televised talent competition. During her years in the arts troupe, she received formal training in dance, music, stagecraft, and performance, and she was selected to study at Qinghai Arts College and Sichuan Administrative Institute, completing her university education.

She later joined Sichuan Satellite TV as a host and program producer, where her work won multiple national awards for long-form documentary and news programming. After 7 years, she was admitted to the Communication University of China to pursue directing and broadcasting. She then entered China Central Television (CCTV), where she spent ten years as a director, chief editor, and executive producer. Her refined on-camera presence, literary sensibility, creative vision, and stage artistry continued to flourish throughout her career in the arts.

Transformation & Integration

In 2017, Jasmine immigrated to the Research Triangle region of North Carolina and founded the American Oriental Culture Institute. In this peaceful setting, she began reflecting on the path she had walked—the roots of martial arts, the soul of dance, the breath of traditional medicine, the beauty of art, and the weight and lightness of life experience. In Tai Chi, she found all of these converging into one.

Thus, Ping | Peaceful Tai Chi & Dance was born—a fusion and elevation of everything she had lived and learned.

Tai Chi Lineage & Martial Heritage

Jasmine inherits the orthodox system of 20th-century Tai Chi grandmaster Li Jingwu. Grandmaster Li was a true lineage holder of Chen-style, Yang-style, and Wu-style Tai Chi, mastering their innermost principles and weaving them into the uniquely integrated system known as Jingwu Tai Chi. His art combined the essence of the three classical Tai Chi lineages comes together in a balanced and harmonious way:

• Yang-style embodies upright, centered structure with expansive, open, and dignified body lines.

• Chen-style carries its signature silk-like, continuous spiraling energy, blending coiled softness with explosive internal power.

• Wu-style emphasizes a full, resonant sense of internal qi and resilient strength, expressed through a compact frame and exceptionally precise movements.

Li Jingwu was also one of the principal creators of the 24-Form Tai Chi, the most widely practiced Tai Chi form in the world today.

Carrying this profound lineage, Jasmine not only embodies the traditional essence of these three styles but also merges them with the depth of her artistic life. Her Tai Chi carries both martial strength and artistic resonance—a true expression of “martial arts infused with art, and art enriched by martial spirit.”

Jasmine is also the 16th-generation inheritor of the Wudang Sanfeng lineage and the first-generation inheritor of Wudang Xingyun Sword. She integrates the Wudang principles of body–sword–qi unity and the flowing, cloud-like quality of Wudang swordsmanship into her Tai Chi sword teaching, allowing students to experience both the grounded stillness of inner strength and the airy elegance of Daoist movement.

Mission & Vision

Jasmine’s vision extends far beyond teaching Tai Chi as a martial form. She hopes to weave together the power of Chinese martial arts, the fluid spirit of Wudang sword, and the aesthetic grace of Eastern dance into a living art that nourishes modern life.

She believes Tai Chi can transcend technique and become a force of healing for the body and mind, a language that connects cultures, and a pathway through which the world rediscovers the beauty of the East.

Her mission is to help people everywhere encounter strength, peace, and a more balanced and complete version of themselves through Tai Chi.
