Yang Taichi in Yongnian Tai Ji Chuan

Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan was created by Yang Luchan, a native of Yongnian Guangfu. He loved martial arts since childhood and began to learn Hongquan. Later, I went to Chenjiagou to learn Chen Tai Ji Chuan. He created a unique 108 Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan and knives, knives and poles on the basis of Chen's style. Later, he went out to fight boxing in Beijing and won many battles, so he was called "invincible Yang". After the second generation, Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan became more and more perfect. Nowadays, Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is mostly Yang Chengpu's stereotyped middle frame. Since its establishment, it has a history of more than 70 years. After several generations of development, it has spread widely. The key provinces and cities in China are Shanghai, Beijing, Sichuan, Xi 'an, Hebei, Guangdong and Hainan. People practice Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan in other provinces, and there are nearly 80 countries overseas, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Austria, Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Australia and Italy.

Yang Chengfu (1883—— 1936), the third generation descendant of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, inherited the tradition of his ancestors, combined with his own experience, and changed the common "small shelf" of his grandfather and the "middle shelf" modified by his father into the "big shelf" of Tai Ji Chuan Road according to the situation of people cutting braids and giving up wearing robes and clothes at that time and the health needs. Today's eighty-eight, forty-eight and simplified twenty-four styles of Tai Ji Chuan are all arranged and created on the basis of Yang Tai Ji Chuan. The fourth and fifth generations of the Yang family also wrote books and said that the story of the Yang family was spread all over the country and even the world. Among them, Fu Zhongwen (1903- 1994), vice chairman of Shanghai Wushu Association and the fourth generation descendant of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, published Taiji Dao and Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan in 1950s and 1960s, and translated them into Japanese, English, French and German versions for worldwide distribution, and taught Tai Ji Chuan to Chinese and foreign people in Shanghai for many years.
