Jiaozuo is the birthplace of Taijiquan. On December 17th, 2020, Taijiquan was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The "One Competition and One Festival" (referring to the International Taijiquan Competition and the Yuntai Mountain Tourism Festival) is a comprehensive festival with distinctive Jiaozuo characteristics. It relies on the two world-famous cultural and tourism IPs of "Taijiquan" and "Yuntai Mountain" and integrates sports competitions, cultural tourism and economic and trade activities. Since 1992, the "One Competition and One Festival" has been held for 11 sessions, which has effectively promoted the integrated development of Jiaozuo's culture, sports and tourism, and also played a positive role in expanding the external exchanges and cooperation of Jiaozuo and even Henan Province.
