Civilizations become more colorful through exchanges and richer through mutual learning. The virtual torch of the first "Tea Road" International Tai Chi Invitational Competition was lit in Nanping City, Fujian Province, and then passed through Shiyan City, Hubei Province, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, and Handan City, Hebei Province in sequence. After crossing mountains and seas, it reached countries along the "Belt and Road" and all over the world. The leaping sparks connect cities one after another and ignite the common dreams and pursuits of Tai Chi enthusiasts around the world.
