A kind of boxing, which the ancients called "Tai Chi".
There are always different opinions about the origin of Tai Ji Chuan, including Xu Xuanping in Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18 ~ 907), Zhang Sanfeng in Song Dynasty (AD 960 ~ 1278), Zhang Sanfeng in Ming Dynasty (AD 1368 ~ 1644) and Zhang Sanfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD). Looking at the development of modern Tai Ji Chuan, we can see that only by continuous development can things have vitality. This is enough to explain the day before yesterday, yesterday and today, and also reveal its tomorrow. According to the textual research of China martial arts historian Tang Hao, there are two branches in Tai Ji Chuan. One is to inherit the martial arts from Wu Tang Zong Gate and keep it secret. Only Zhao Bao and Tai Ji Chuan are inherited. The other school first spread among the Chen family in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan Province, and then spread to Tai Ji Chuan schools such as Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun. The founder of Chen Tai Ji Chuan is Chen Wangting, who is an original martial artist.
Tai Ji Chuan has been handed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, with many famous artists and schools (including Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun). Tracing back to its source, it originated in Chenjiagou, wen county, Henan. Chenjiagou, located in Dongqingfengling, wen county, Henan Province, was Changyang Village 600 years ago. In the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), Chen Bu, a native of Zezhou (now Jincheng) in Shanxi Province, led his troops to move from Hongtong County, Shanxi Province to the north of Wenxian County and set up Chen Buzhuang Village. Two years later, because of the low terrain, he moved to Changyang. Later, due to the reproduction of Chen people, the martial arts handed down from the family were very prestigious nearby, and there was a big ditch running through the north and south in the village. Over time, it was changed to the old name of Changyang Chenjiagou. Chen summed up many boxing routines. There are five sets of fists, five sets of hammers, fifteen red guns, fifteen cannons, red gun hammers, one hundred single eight-style long fists, double pushers and other unique drill methods. According to this principle, Wushu equipment routines such as knife, gun, sword, stick, mace and double gun were created. These boxing routines are based on Tai Chi theory, from infinity to Tai Chi, from non-physical to physical, from static to vivid, and each move is divided into yin and yang (i.e. virtual, real, soft, rigid, static and dynamic). ), formed the prototype of Tai Ji Chuan machinery, passed down from generation to generation in the Chen family, and formed the Chen Tai Ji Chuan. Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen, built another milestone on the basis of his ancestral Tai Ji Chuan. He refined and summarized Chen's Taiji Biography from Bo to Wu, and creatively formed a complete set of routines, which became the first and second road of Chen's Taiji Biography, and was later called "Old Frame". He also boldly broke the rules of the door, carried on the family line, and took Yang Fukui (Lu Chan) from Guangping Prefecture (now Yongnian County) in Hebei Province as an apprentice. After returning to his hometown, Yang Fukui taught boxing in Beijing. Because of the need to teach boxing, he gradually abandoned the difficult moves in the old Tai Ji Chuan, which were modified and stereotyped by later generations, and became the popular Tai Ji Chuan in Yang Tai. Hou Quan-you and Yang Fukui, the son of Qing Dynasty, learned from Yang Xiao Tai Ji Chuan and passed it on to his son. He practiced martial arts in Shanghai and modified Tai Ji Chuan into another family. After that, Han named him Wu, so he was called Wu.
