The inheritance and history of Wu Style Tai Chi

1. Who was the inheritor of Wu Style Tai Chi?

The founder of Wu Style Tai Chi is Mr. Wu Yuxiang!

Wu Yuxiang (1812-1880) was from Yongnian County, Hebei Province (now Guangfu Town). He was from the same hometown as Yang Luchan (1799-1872), the founder of Yang Style Tai Chi, and they had a good relationship. When Yang Luchan returned from studying martial arts in Chenjiagou, he studied and improved it with Wu Yuxiang, and gradually formed the Yang Style Tai Chi school. After Wu Yuxiang mastered Yang Style Tai Chi, he went to Chenjiagou and Zhaobaoyou to learn a section of Tai Chi. He also consulted Wang Zongyue's "Tai Chi Theory", understood it thoroughly, and created Wu Style Tai Chi.

Yang Luchan and Wu Yuxiang’s former residence are very close to each other, just a few minutes’ drive away. I visited there many years ago. 2. The more detailed the inheritance of Wu Style Tai Chi, the better

As a form of Tai Chi, Wu Style Tai Chi, from its founder Wu Yuxiang to its successor Li Yishe, in order to be different from the popular form of Tai Chi in Wenxian County, Henan Province, from theory to technology, from mind training to Qi training to practice, they have summarized a set of boxing principles and boxing methods that represent Wu Yuxiang and Li Yishe's own understanding. Later generations raised the banner of family style and laid a good theoretical foundation.

Wu Yuxiang (1812-1880) was named Heqing and Lianquan. He was a native of Yongnian County, Guangping Prefecture (now Yongnian County, Handan City, Hebei Province). He was a student in Lingong. Influenced by current trends and family, he recited scriptures Shi also studied martial arts. His Tai Chi benefited from Chen Qingping (1795-1868), a boxer from Qibao Town, Wen County, Henan Province.

It is said that Wu Yuxiang’s brother Wu Qingcheng accidentally received Wang Zongyue’s “Tai Chi Manual” in Wuyang Salt Shop and passed it on to Yuxiang. After Wu Yuxiang obtained Wang Zongyue's "Tai Chi Manual", he gradually understood its secrets. After years of study and practice of boxing, he also participated in the military strategist's unique way of correcting the actual situation, the doctor's theory of meridians, qi and blood, and the health practitioner's vomiting, inhalation and guidance. , martial arts masters used their skills to grow and lift hair, and created the "Martial School" Tai Chi that has been passed down to this day.

Therefore, it can be seen that the "Martial School" Tai Chi, like the boxing skills of many other schools, is the result of a certain historical stage and a certain person who has studied the boxing skills, has rich practical experience, and is good at summarizing It is a manifestation of boxing skills based on the personal experience of former martial artists who practiced boxing techniques. Of course, these martial artists often deeply influence the subsequent generations of scholars and successors.

The successors of successful scholars continue to influence the inheritance and development of this boxing school with their own unique experiences, just like the boxing theory and boxing works of Wu Yuxiang’s successor Li Yishe and Wu Yuxiang’s Tai Chi writings are still influencing the successors of the "Martial School" Tai Chi, as well as the successors of the "Chen School", "Yang School", "Wu School" and "Sun School" Tai Chi and thousands of Tai Chi enthusiasts today. them. (1) The history of "Martial School" Tai Chi has been studied and compiled by many boxers and scholars in the past 10 years and published in many books and periodicals. I will not repeat it here.

Today, we can see that all Wu Yuxiang left to future generations is his "Essentials of the Thirteen Postures", "Explanations of Tai Chi", "Essential Interpretations of Tai Chi Theory", "Thirteen Postures" "Strategy", "Four-Character Secret", "Removal of Fighters", "Eight Essentials of Shenfa" and other boxing theories and key points of boxing practice. Because there are no preserved images, it is a pity that today's people cannot perceive and appreciate Wu Yuxiang's boxing skills, boxing style and martial arts skills.

If the descendants of Wu Yuxiang can inherit the martial arts essence of the "Martial School" Tai Chi and express it in the vocabulary of body movements (the same is true for other martial artist schools), then , the representative martial arts Tai Chi masters in modern times can be mentioned Han Qinxian, Li Shengduan, Li Xiangyuan, Hao Zhongtian, Hao Yueru, Yan Zhigao and others from Hebei. They are all very influential in promoting the spread of "Martial Arts" Tai Chi in modern times. They They are all direct disciples of modern Hao Shaoru, Ma Rong, Chen Guoan, Wu Wenhan, Pu Gongda, Liu Jishun, Yao Jizu, Chen Mingjie and others. The earliest "Martial Style" Tai Chi to be published in books after liberation was the book "Martial Style Tai Chi" compiled by Mr. Hao Shaoru in the 1960s and illustrated with routines based on his photo movements.

This book can be said to be a summary of the "Martial Arts" Tai Chi that represents the Hao Yueru branch.

When I went to Shanghai for interviews and drafting in 1982, I contacted several Tai Chi seniors, including Fu Zhongwen, Ma Yueliang, and Hao Shaoru, for promotion by the Shanghai Wushu Federation Comrades. In the end, I only contacted Mr. Fu Zhongwen and Ma Yueliang, but I could not contact Hao Shaoru.

Soon Hao Shaoru passed away. Fortunately, through my friends in the martial arts community in Hong Kong, I was able to access their collection of videos of five Tai Chi representatives practicing Tai Chi in Shanghai in 1964. Among them, Hao Shaoru was the one practicing.

Although the recording took a while, you can appreciate Hao Shaoru’s Tai Chi style. It was not until the late 1980s that other "Martial School" and "Martial Style" Tai Chi books reflecting the Hebei and Northeastern schools of "Martial Style" Tai Chi were published. For example, "Martial Style" written by Chen Gu'an "New Form of Tai Chi" and "Tai Chi Stick" (published in 1988), "The Complete Book of Wu Style Tai Chi" (published in 2001) by Wu Wenhan, and "The Complete Book of Wu Style Tai Chi" (published in 1999) by Yao Jizu wait.

Due to the personal factors of the inheriting boxers and the influence of regional cultural factors, the inheritance of "Martial Arts" Tai Chi can be roughly divided into four major branches. The following are Ma Rong, Chen Guan, Wu Wenhan and others, who are concentrated in Hebei and Beijing; the second is Pu Gongda, Hao Xiangrong, Liu Jishun and others who are the descendants of Hao Weizhen's grandson Hao Shaoru in Shanghai; the third is Li Yishe The boxers from Guangfu, Hebei, represented by Yao Jizu, were passed down from the descendants; the fourth was Yan Zhigao, a disciple of Hao Weizhen, who was passed down to the Northeast. The person who played an important role in the widespread spread of martial arts Tai Chi should be Mr. Hao Weizhen.

Wu Yuxiang created the martial arts style of Tai Chi, and the main inheritor of its theory and kung fu is officially recognized as Li Yishe. Li Yishe not only inherited Wu Yuxiang's boxing theory, but also enriched and refined it. This is of course inseparable from Li Yishe's combination of theory and practice.

After Li Yishe, the Tai Chi circles regarded the Tai Chi theories of Wu Yuxiang and Li Yishe, together with the theories of other sages, as the classic theories of Tai Chi. And after studying and verifying the theories and practices of Wu Yuxiang and Li Yishe, among the descendants of Li Yishe who had extensive exchanges with various schools in the martial arts circles at that time, Mr. Hao Weizhen is probably the only one.

Among Hao Weizhen’s disciples, we have seen Sun Lutang who was in Peiping when he was practicing Xingyi Bagua, Dong Yingjie, one of Yang Chengfu’s disciples, and Xingyiquan who had been practicing Xingyiquan since he was a child. Yan Zhigao of Northeast Development. In addition, Li Xiangyuan, a disciple of Hao Weizhen, often communicated with Yang Chengfu's disciples. When Li Yaxuan, one of Yang Chengfu's students, recalled the Kung Fu performance of a Tai Chi master in his later years, he mentioned that Li Xiangyuan "...has spent a lifetime of hard work, and his body posture is very flexible and flexible. In particular, his power is more abundant than anyone else's.

His power is so powerful that he is indeed a good player." This comment came from Li Yaxuan, who practiced Yang style Tai Chi. It can be imagined that Hao Weizhen was there. His disciples also often communicate with friends in the martial arts world.

Because Hao Weizhen’s kung fu was recognized by the martial arts community at that time, and he exchanged skills across the country, Wu Tai Chi spread throughout the country, and the style of Wu Tai Chi was also recognized by the martial arts community. (2) The first written introduction to the characteristics of martial arts Tai Chi was written by Mr. Ma Libo in the 1930s. 3. Which generation of Wu Yuxiang Tai Chi inheritors created the Wu Yuxiang style?

Wu Yuxiang (1812--1880) was the founder of Wu Style Tai Chi. His surname was Wu, his given name was Heqing, his courtesy name was Yuxiang, and his nickname was Lian. Quan, a native of Yongnian County, Hebei Province.

Literary and martial arts were passed down from generation to generation. There were three brothers. Both of them were Jinshi. Yu Xiang studied literature and martial arts since he was a child. He was a filial piety, chivalrous and righteous. . Around 1850, fellow countryman Yang Luchan (1799-1872) returned to his hometown from Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan Province. Brothers Yu and Xiang fell in love with his skills and studied Chen's old form of Tai Chi, and gained a general understanding of it.

In 1852, Yu Xiang went to Henan in person and learned Chen's new form of Tai Chi from Chen Qingping in Zhaobao Town, Wen County. "Boxing Manual", I was enlightened after reading it. On the basis of studying the old and new Tai Chi styles of the Chen family, combined with the essence of the "Tai Chi Book", through the experience of practicing Tai Chi and integrating them, we can create compact postures, slow movements, correct body techniques, and light and agile footwork. A Tai Chi practice that requires the inner Qi to subtly turn and use Qi to form the form.

This style is different from Chen Shi’s old frame and new frame, and also different from Yang’s big frame and small frame. It is its own school, and later generations call it "Martial Style Tai Chi".

He studied Tai Chi martial arts and created experimental methods. Every time he invited local heroes to test his skills on his own, he repeatedly recorded and revised them. Therefore, the Chinese boxing style can be used and no one is left empty.

Although Mr. Wu was the most proficient in Tai Chi, he ultimately took it upon himself to teach and read Tai Chi. Therefore, there were very few successors to the Tai Chi. Only his nephew Li Jinglun (also known as She) passed down the most sophisticated skills. Wu has written many books, first and later including "Essential Interpretations of the Thirteen Postures", "Explanations of Tai Chi", "Essential Interpretations of Tai Chi Theory", "A Brief Introduction to the Thirteen Postures", "The Four-Character Secret", and "The Fighter". "Sa Release", "Eight Essentials of Shen Dharma", etc. Wu's works were written based on his own experience. Therefore, the late famous martial artist Mr. Gu Liuxin called Wu's works "concise and concise, without any floating words." 4. The origin, form and characteristics of Handan Wu Style Tai Chi

Tai Chi explains one of the Chinese boxing techniques. In the early days, it was called "Chang Quan", "Mian Quan", "Thirteen Movements", and "Thirteen Movements". Soft Hands”.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736~1796 AD), Shanxi martial artist Wang Zongyue wrote "Tai Chi Theory" and the name of Tai Chi was determined.

The word "Tai Chi" comes from the "Book of Changes" and contains the highest, ultimate, absolute and only meaning. Between heaven and earth, on the world, all things and opportunities are changing all the time.

Trees, flowers, grass, mountains and towers may seem stationary, but they are all gradually aging. As the saying goes, only "change" is constant.

Tai Chi is to practice various changes in boxing. Movement and stillness opening and closing, hardness and softness, speed and slowness, up and down, left and right, winding up and down, appearing and disappearing, virtual and real, continuous, the whole body is a family, motionless and motionless, full of momentum when it appears, disappearing when it disappears, with the force of the mind, When it reaches the point, it melts into the whole body, and the energy is continued, and then it is gently started, and the movement is free.

Every thought, every move, every move, whatever you want, are all under self-control to achieve the effect of health preservation and self-defense. This is Tai Chi. Origin There are different opinions about the origin of Tai Chi. Generally speaking, there are Xu Xuanping in the Tang Dynasty (618~907 AD), Zhang Sanfeng in the Song Dynasty (960~1278 AD), Zhang Sanfeng in the Ming Dynasty (1368~1644 AD), and Zhang Sanfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1644~1911 AD). Years) Chen Wangting and Wang Zongyue have several different opinions.

However, most boxers nowadays are also based on the theory that Junyuan, the current master of various Tai Chi styles, gave birth to Chen style Tai Chi. According to research by Chinese martial arts historian Tang Hao and others, Tai Chi was first passed down to the Chen family in Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan Province.

The creator of Chen Style Tai Chi is Chen Wangting, an innovative martial artist. Source The origin of Tai Chi has the following three aspects: ① Comprehensive absorption of boxing techniques from famous Ming Dynasty masters.

Martial arts were extremely popular in the Ming Dynasty, and many famous masters, monographs and new types of boxing appeared. Tai Chi was compiled by absorbing the strengths of various boxing schools at that time, especially Qi Jiguang’s Thirty-two Positions Changquan. ② It combines the ancient techniques of guidance and breathing.

Tai Chi emphasizes on guiding the mind to sink Qi into the Dantian, and stresses on calming the mind, loosening weight and strengthening the inner body, so it is called one of the "internal martial arts". ③Uses the ancient Chinese theory of yin and yang and the theory of meridians of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chen-style Tai Chi requires the meridians to be spirally wound, to move Qi with the mind, to open the Ren and Du meridians, and to practice the Dai and Chong meridians. All kinds of traditional Tai Chi also use the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements to summarize and explain the various contradictory changes in the boxing method.

Basic methods Tai Chi uses "tent, stroke, squeeze, press, elbow, lean, advance, retreat, look, hope, and concentration" as the basic methods. The movements are slow and comfortable. When practicing boxing, it is required to straighten the waist, retract the jaw, straighten the back, and hang the body, giving a feeling of floating in the sky.

A boxer in the Qing Dynasty said that "boxing is like the ocean, flowing incessantly." At the same time, Tai Chi also attaches great importance to Qi training. The so-called "Qi" refers to the cultivation of the human body's own spiritual power. This is one of the characteristics of Tai Chi as an internal Kung Fu.
