There are always different opinions about the origin and founder of Tai Ji Chuan, including Xu Xuanping in Tang Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng in Song Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng in Ming Dynasty, Chen in Qing Dynasty and Wang Zongyue. Although Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Zongyue wrote "On Tai Ji Chuan" respectively, today's vast majority of boxers also hold Chen Chuang boxing theory based on various Tai Ji Chuan originated from Chen Tai Ji Chuan. Generally speaking, Tai Ji Chuan's source is the comprehensive absorption of the famous Ming Boxing, especially Qi Jiguang's 32-potential Long Boxing, and the combination of ancient guidance, breathing qigong, meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements of ancient simple dialectical materialism. Tai Ji Chuan, based on Taoism, Taiji, Eight Diagrams and Taiji philosophy, contains rich China traditional culture and philosophical thoughts. First of all, Tai Ji Chuan is always in motion, with close movements, constant strength and will, constant potential and will, and constant boxing, such as the water of the Yangtze River; At the same time, the Tai Ji Chuan movement is also a contradictory movement of unity of opposites. In Tai Ji Chuan, there are two contradictory sides, such as rigidity, reality, movement, speed, opening and closing, flexion and extension, which are both independent and convertible.

Tai Ji Chuan takes "giving up, hitting, squeezing, pressing, picking, stretching, elbowing, leaning, advancing, retreating, holding, looking and deciding" as the basic methods. When exercising, meditation is required, and the movement is guided by consciousness. The movement is closely coordinated with breathing, and the breathing is smooth and natural. Keep the movement moderate and comfortable, gentle and slow, keep the body loose and natural, impartial, keep the movement continuous, move gently and naturally, move in an arc, keep the circle moving, take the waist as the axis, follow up from top to bottom, and integrate the whole body. The movements are coherent and coordinated, and the actual situation is clear. The movements are connected smoothly, the actual situation is distinguished everywhere, and the center of gravity remains stable. Lightweight and calm, combining rigidity with softness. The action is not floating or stiff, and it is both rigid and soft, with full strength. In pushing hands, it is required to use static braking, combine rigidity and softness, avoid reality and be virtual, and use force, especially paying attention to "listening", judging the size, direction and position of the other party's strength through physical contact, and making a timely response. Urgent is emergency, slow is slow, and improvise.

The origin of Chen Taiji's biography can be traced back to Chen's ancestor Chen Bu. Chen Bu was originally from Zezhou County, Shanxi Province (now Jincheng), and later moved from Zezhou to Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. In the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1374), he moved to Huaiqing House (now Qinyang) in Henan Province. Because the granddaddy Chen Bu is upright and proficient in boxing, he is deeply respected by nearby villagers. So the place where he lives is called Chen Buzhuang (after liberation, Chen Buzhuang was merged into Wenxian County, and it is still called Chen Buzhuang). Later, due to the low-lying terrain of Chenbuzhuang, ancestors often suffered floods and moved to Changyang Village, East Shili, Wenxian County. There is a deep north-south ditch in the village. With the increase of Chen's population, Changyang Village was renamed Chenjiagou.

After Chen Bu, the ancestor, lived in Wenxian County, he paid special attention to cultivation and construction in order to lay a solid foundation for the family business. One, six lives together, seven lives apart, and the family is prosperous. In order to defend the mulberry and stabilize the place, the village set up a martial arts club to teach future generations. Because 17 1 1 years ago, there is no written record of the Chen family history, only oral. It was not until 17 1 1 year that Chen Geng, the tenth ancestor of Chen, erected a monument for Chen Bu, which simply described the historical facts of Chen Bu. However, it has been more than 300 years. In the meantime, there are many omissions in characters, deeds and related boxing methods. Therefore, the written records about boxing, characters and deeds can only be remembered from Chen.

Chen, also known as Zou Ting. People in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Both civil and military skills, good at boxing and martial arts, and profound kung fu. It is very famous in Henan and Shandong. During his seclusion in his later years, based on ancestral boxing, combined with the theory of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and referring to the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and the method of guiding qi and exhaling, he created a set of Tai Ji Chuan which combines yin and yang and combines rigidity and softness.

The local proverb "Drink Chen Gou water, and your legs will become warped." "Will it, King Kong?" This kind of ethos has been passed down from generation to generation for a long time, making celebrities come forth in large numbers.

It was passed on to 14th Chen Changxing, whose real name was Ting Yun, and he wrote Ten Essentials of Tai Ji Chuan, On Tai Ji Chuan's War, and The Battle of Tai Ji Chuan. On the basis of the old routine handed down by his ancestors, he creatively developed Tai Ji Chuan's routine from complex to refined into the present Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan No.1 Road and No.2 Road (also known as cannon hammer). Later generations called Tai Chi Chuan Lao Jia (Big Jia). At that time, he was called "the king of memorial tablets" and taught famous disciples Chen Gengyun and Yang Luchan.
