At this time, Sun Lutang's martial arts skills were outstanding and his reputation was well known in Beijing, and in 1918, Sun Lutang finally combined the three styles of taijiquan into a single pot, blended and integrated them into one, and created Sun's taijiquan, which was a distinctive style of its own. In the same year, Xu Shichang invited Sun Lutang to join the Presidential Office as a military propaganda officer, and in March 1928, when the Nanjing Central State Arts Center was established, Sun was appointed as the head of the Wudang Gate of the Center, and in July, he was appointed as the deputy director and provost of the Jiangsu Provincial State Arts Center.

He died in the winter of 1933 at the age of 73.

2, a generation of masters - Mr. Wang Xiangzhai, the founder of Italian boxing.

Named Zhenghe, also known as Nibao, the word Yu-sin, in his later years, he called himself "Old Man of Contradiction", was born in 1885 in Weijialin Village, Shen County, Hebei Province. In 1885, he was born in Weijialin Village, Shen County, Hebei Province. Since 1894, he learned Xingyiquan from Master Guo Yunshen. Because he practiced hard all year round, in summer and winter, and studied y into boxing theory, he was favored by Guo, so he got the essence of Guo's boxing knowledge all his life. At the young age of the crown, he had already become a generation of famous teachers.

In 1894, he studied Xingyiquan with Master Guo Yunshen. Because of his years of hard training, summer and winter, deep study of boxing theory, doubly favored by Guo Lao, so as to get the essence of Guo Lao's life boxing. At the young age of the crown, he had already become a generation of famous masters. At the beginning of learning boxing, he was not confined to the views of boxing schools and portals. He believes that: China's boxing has a long history, different periods, different regions of the achievements of the boxer, have different styles and specialties. This is the reason why our boxing has a long history and is prosperous. Mr. focus on boxing theory is not a skill, a gain of local knowledge, he spent his life exploring and researching the true meaning of boxing in the academic field.　

Before and after 1907, Mr. Xiang Xiangzhai left his teacher to travel to Beijing in order to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge. He traveled to Beijing, and after 1918, he traveled to Henan, Hunan, Hubei, and Fujian, where he served as a martial arts instructor in Fuzhou. Later he traveled north and began lecturing in Tianjin. During this time, he visited famous martial artists of various schools of martial arts in the north and south of the Yangtze River. When he was in Henan Province, he went to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain to visit Monk Henglin, who was the heir to the "Xingyiquan" (also known as Xingyiquan) at that time, and practiced his skills with him. Xingyiquan and Xingyiquan come from the same source, so from the point of view of academic research, Mr. visit to the Shaolin Temple, is of great significance.

In 1928, Mr. Hsiang Hsai went to Hangzhou to serve as a referee for the National Wushu Competition Assembly. In 1938, Mr. Xiangzhai taught Italian boxing at the Beijing Sicun School of Physical Education, and in the summer of 1940, a friend of the same school praised Italian boxing and gave it the name "Dachengquan". In the summer of 1940, a friend of the same school praised Yiquan and gave it the name "Dacheng Quan", which was not a good name for Mr. Yiquan at that time. As Mr. Kennedy said, "My friends tried it sweetly and happily, so I legitimately used the word "Dacheng" to refer to my fist, but I wanted to do so but could not, so I listened to them." After that, Mr. Wang also said that "there is no limit to academics, why would Dacheng say", and still called it "Yiquan". 40's, Mr. Wang had published articles in the newspapers such as "Beijing Real News" and "New People's Newspaper", and gave a detailed introduction to the views and opinions of Chinese boxing and the exercise methods of Yiquan. Like any other academic field, the emergence of something new will inevitably conflict with the old traditional concepts. Mr. Xiang Xiangzhai's doctrine had also caused a big shock in the boxing world in China. During this period, Chinese and foreigners, especially martial artists in China, visited Mr. Xiang to discuss the purpose of boxing.

During his stay in Shanghai, Mr. Yingge met with Hungarian Yingge, who was working as a boxing coach in the "Western Youth" (Westerner's Youth Association), and was the world champion in the lightest weight class of the professional boxing tournament. During the exchange of skills, Inge launched a straight punch to attack Mr. Inge, but Mr. Inge's left hand shook, and Inge was knocked to the ground. After Yingge's defeat, he published an article entitled "The Chinese Boxing We Have Seen" in the British newspaper "The Times", in which he expressed his admiration for Mr. Xiang Zhai's attainments and the high level of Chinese boxing.　In the early 40's, Ichiro Hatta, a Japanese judoka (who represented Japan in the 11th Olympics International Wrestling Competition in 1936), asked to compete with Mr. Xiangzhai. Yata wanted to capture Mr. Wrist with the move, but it is known that the two hands only a contact, immediately be shaken to prancing body off the ground, the body against the wall and then fell to the ground. After that, Kenichi Sawai, then a 5th dan in Judo and 3rd dan in Kendo, fought with Mr. Sawai. After his defeat, he turned to Mr. Sawai to learn Italian boxing. In the late 1940s, Kenichi Sawai returned to Japan to promote Iken and renamed it Taikiken, which was later recognized as the "Sage of Martial Arts" by the Japanese martial arts community.　

In 1947, Mr. Sawai set up the "Boxing Research Association" in the Imperial Temple in Beiping (today's Cultural Palace of the Working People) to widely disseminate Italian boxing. After the liberation of Beiping, Mr. Wang stopped the "Research Association" and went to Zhongshan Park to teach. His fitness and health, in the teaching is called "staking Gong".　

In 1950, Mr. Wang became the head of the Wushu group in the Preparatory Committee of the Chinese Sports Federation, and then went out to work. 1951, Mr. Wang was invited to teach "Standing Pile Gong" at the Hebei Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Baoding City. During this time, Mr. Wang did a series of research on the utility of Chinese boxing in health care. To this day, Yiquan Standing Pile Kung Fu is practiced almost nationwide, and Mr. Neng has contributed to the health care of our people. As in any other academic field, the emergence of something new will inevitably conflict with the old traditional concepts. Mr. Xiang Xiangzhai's doctrine had also caused a big shock in the boxing world in China. During this period, Chinese and foreigners, especially martial artists in China, visited Mr. Xiang Zhai to discuss the purpose of boxing.
