On the morning of November 13, 2013, Handan Radio and TV University (RTVU) held a flag presentation ceremony for the fourth group of Taijiquan community coaching centres, a subsection of the China Central Radio and TV University’s (CCRTVU)
Taiji Cultural Research and Training Centre’s Taijiquan training base.

Following his remarks, the attending leaders presented flags to the stationmasters. Tang Qichang gave a speech representing the newly established centres. The activity ended with a fine performance from the Taijiquan coaching centres.
As mass’ sports organizations active in all communities, the 20 newly-established Taijiquan community coaching centres not only each have a solid member base and operate at very high levels, but display their own unique characteristics in the Taijiquan arts as well. The teams from the counties and districts around Handan form a larger proportion of the members of these centres, which shows the coaching centres’ development tendencies, construction progress and influential effect on suburban districts. So far, there are a total of 44 Taijiquan coaching centres operating under the auspices of the CCRTVU Taiji Cultural Research and Training Centre, and a total of 2,755 members. This represents a great contribution to the Taijiquan educational courses of Handan by the Taijiquan training base of the CCRTVU Taiji Cultural Research and Training Centre.
