O termo taiji e sua outra grafia t'ai chi (usando o sistema Wade-Giles em oposição ao sistema Pinyin) são usados mais comumente no ocidente para se referir ao taijiquan (ou t'ai chi chuan, 太極拳), uma arte marcial interna, sistema chinês de meditação e prática terapêutica. Este artigo, entretanto, se refere apenas ao uso do termo na filosofia chinesa e no confucionismo, taoismo e budismo.
