When Taiji Chuan and Yang Luchan just returned to Yongnian, they were called Mianquan.

A kind of soft fist, which can be used to attack, is an unconventional practice, and martial arts practitioners who lack soft skills dare not.

The strength of soft training is not cultivated by soldiers on the battlefield, but comes from the effect of Taoist self-cultivation and inner alchemy and outer alchemy.

During the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty, the method of eating by external alchemy declined, and it was the period of gathering qi and keeping fit, and the technique of "soft hand" was also popular from time to time. At the same time, the Song Dynasty was also a prosperous period of court and folk martial arts acrobatics (sword sparring, sumo wrestling, etc.). ).

For example, in the late Five Dynasties, Chen Tuan lived in seclusion in Jiushiyan, Wudang Mountain, and spent more than 20 years refining gas. The Endless Diagram laid the foundation of "harmony leads to life, but reverse leads to immortality" and "refining qi, spirit, qi and deficiency", and laid the foundation of Wudang Inner alchemy.

The rulers of the Song Dynasty regarded Zhenwu as the "God of the country" and shaped it into a mysterious god who guarded the north, was mighty and brave, and had boundless magic. He declared that "Wu Shen, an innocent town, should help the holy and true king", and set up a temple in Wudang Mountain, a temple in Wulong Temple and a temple in Zixiao Palace to worship Zhenwu God, which greatly improved the status of Wudang Taoism.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Judy of Ming Taizu incorporated Wudang Mountain into the royal temple sequence, and the state invested heavily in large-scale construction, which pushed Wudang Mountain Taoism to a brilliant peak. Qiu Xuanqing, a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, once worked under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Taoism studies Tai Chi Dan Gong, and any internal and external Dan Gong can be regarded as "Tai Chi Gong". When practicing boxing, it will be substituted naturally and become the style of "Tai Ji Chuan", and it will also be integrated with folk boxing to form a move that keeps pace with the times.

Zhaobao, Henan, inherits the map of regulating qi for the elderly in Huashan, and the biography of Zhaobao Taiji is also related to Taoist Dan Gong. Therefore, Zhaobao Boxing originated from Taoism.

According to Zhao Bao-

Jiang Fa taught Xing Xihuai Taoism, which spread to Chen Qingping and Chen Changxing.

Chen Gou, who inherited endless knapsack boxing, is related to Zhao Bao. It is normal for him to exchange boxing skills with many parties and learn from each other, and boxing skills also influence each other.

1823, Chen Qingping went to Chenjiagou to learn the rifle hammer, and at the same time Chen Youben was learning Tai Chi Chuan Xiao Jia in Zhaobao.

1834, after learning from Yang Luchan, Chen Changxing combined with Chen Jiagou's endless back-bound boxing to create the first and second fists.

When Yang Luchan learned boxing, there was no old boxing handed down by Chen Taiji, that is, there was no Chen Taiji handed down at that time.

At that time, endless knapsack boxing was popular in Chenjiagou, and only Chen Changxing could "Mianquan".

After 1848, Yang Luchan's "Zhao Bao De Quan"; 1852, Wu Yuxiang studied with Chen Qingping, and won the biography of Wang Zongyue and Taiji.

After 1852, Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang * * * combined what they had learned, combed the boxing methods according to On Wang Zongyue and Tai Ji Chuan, and created Tai Ji Chuan.

Then, the development of Yang Tai Ji Chuan and Wu Tai Ji Chuan influenced similar boxing.
