This article (written by a top Taoist and Tai Chi master) concisely answers your question with a high degree of detail:http://www.taichimaster.com/taoist-yoga/energy-cross-training-part-2-connecting-longevity-breathing-yoga-with-tai-chi-bagua-and-qigong/To paraphrase part of the article:The central goal in Taoism is to prepare one for advanced meditation that will allow them to connect with nature, their body mind spirit and soul, and the absolute universal conscious (known as the Tao).One extremely important part of this process is to smooth out the irregularities inside you, make the mind tranquil, and have it become completely present within the most complex motion patterns possible that can be manifested within both the physical and energetic body's of an individual.Beyond being an extremely effective martial art and healing practice, Tai Chi is one of the most effective methods for accomplishing the necessary goals outlined for Taoist meditation (another being Ba gua).Tai Chi was originally developed by adept Taoist meditation masters specifically for that reason, thus is fits quite well within the Taoist disciplines!http://wiki.answers.com/Basic_forms_of_tai-chi

There are controversies as to who invented/started tai chi. Many say that is was founded by a Taoist monk by the name of Zhang Sanfeng. At the same time there are just as many who claim tai chi was started in the Chen village by the martial art masters there. Due to lack of written records there is no exact date as to when tai chi was started. It can only be said it was founded in the mid 1600s.
