In the European Middle Ages, gallant, fearless knights were revered and came to represent the dawn of hope of the Dark Ages. And oriental knights-errant, who pursue models of chivalry, are like oriental versions of the 'spirit of knights,' and have become an important force for stabilizing the world. By means of cultural exchange, the western spirit of the knights and the oriental spirit of the knights-errant—to relieve and support the weak and infirm and to preserve the spirit of fairness and justice—are interlinked.

The ceremony of the Ringing of the Bell of Peace is a solemn bell ringing ceremony that inspires people's innate goodness and common diligence in the name of world love and peace.

From Italy they were blown to Siberia, France, Germany, the Netherlands and to each international conference, and brought back, by each nation's participants, to their own countries.

In Europe, the chivalrous men and women of the Tai Ji Men Cultural Goodwill Group were transformed into knights pursuing peace, explaining—with the oriental spirit of the knight—the martial spirit of eliminating weapons. On each visit, each cultural performance, as far as this martial arts menpai's chivalrous men and women engaged in martial arts practice are concerned, they set out for love, go into battle for peace. This is the self-practice process of contemporary people pursuing self-cultivation.
