The Origin and Development of Tai Ji Chuan

The origin and development of Tai Ji Chuan are as follows:

The origin and development of Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into three historical stages, each of which is a part of its existence. Historians divide the historical development since 1840 Opium War into three periods: modern, modern and contemporary, and the period before 1840 is ancient.

Tai Chi spread only in Chenjiagou, Zhaobao and other villages in wen county, Henan Province during the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. Because Yang Luchan's real name was Fukui (1799~ 1872), Tai Ji Chuan became popular after he spread Tai Ji Chuan's thoughts during Daoguang and Xianfeng years.

Ancient Tai Ji Chuan and its Naming;

The development of Tai Ji Chuan from its naming to the present should be counted from its founding, but only in different stages. We can't simply say that Tai Ji Chuan is only 200 years old. Just like the history of China, from slave society to feudal society is a process of continuous development.

The name of Tai Chi Chuan has never been mentioned before. Xu Zhen, a historian in Tai Ji Chuan, said in Textual Research on Tai Ji Chuan: Tai Ji Chuan, who is considered to have been created before Wang Zongyue's boxing theory was handed down, "changed his routine without changing his old names such as long fist and short stroke, and these names are straightforward and have similar meanings." "Changquan has a long history, and there was no name of Taiji Chuan at the beginning".

Gu, who founded Chen Tai Ji Chuan's theory, also said in his Book of Tai Ji Chuan: "Chen's General Song of Boxing Classics and his inscription" Making Boxing in Leisure Time "did not clearly state that the name of his boxing was" Tai Ji Chuan ",and the name of Tai Ji Chuan used by Tai Ji Chuan needs further research.

Comparing Chen Tai Ji Chuan's and Qi Jiguang's 32-style boxing classics, Tang Hao wrote in the article "A Study on the Origin of Tai Ji Chuan": "Chen Jiagou's Changquan has 13 styles, and the music score of cannon hammer is the same as Qi Jiguang's 32 styles, including lazy clothes, single whip, golden rooster independence, horse exploration (high horse exploration), seven-star style, dragon riding backwards, rapid-fire gun and hanging.

These also constitute the basic framework of Chen Tai Ji Chuan. Chen Shi and Tai Ji Chuan's reference and development of Qi Jiguang's 32-style boxing.
