Fifteenth generation of Dong Xianzhou young read poetry and books, and invited many famous teachers to learn martial arts, "must be exhausted its art only", "the art has been completed, the mighty name shocked Heshuo". Dong Haichuan was slightly younger than Dong Xianzhou. Dong Haichuan's grandfather, Dong Bohuan, moved with his family to Zhujiawu Village and has been there for eight or nine generations. Dong Haichuan original name Dong Mingkui, his father Dong Shouye **** got three sons, the first son Dong Dekui, the second son Dong Mingkui, the third son Dong Wukui.

According to the Wenan cultural and historical materials and Xiong County County records, Dong Haichuan family, many people are military generals, "generals, martial arts origin, the machine is not a falsehood".

Out of the renamed South Tour

In 1810***, in the 15th year of the Jiaqing period, Wen'an County was hit by a catastrophe, and there was no harvest, which further aggravated the dissatisfaction of Dong Haichuan's stepmother and father, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense in the following years. Because Dong Haichuan from a young age into the martial arts, all righteousness, love to take care of the injustice of the world, so bad people fear, good people love. Many of Dong Haichuan's righteous deeds had won the admiration of a girl, but in the feudal era, it would inevitably lead to criticism.

Dong Hai Chuan left home from then on, he first went to Xiongxian open village, and then to Beijing in order to get the merit. Who knows to Beijing, we know that the north is still a place of martial arts masters, Dong Haichuan and people than hands are defeated, and know that there is a world outside, outside the people. Because of no face home to see the folks, he decided to travel all over the mountains and rivers, learning a wide range of martial arts. In order not to bring trouble to his hometown, he decided to hide the name of his parents "Ming Kui", the name "Haichuan", so the word "Haichuan" has been passed down to the present day, and many people do not know that Dong Haichuan's real name is Dong Ming Kui. The word "Haichuan" means to accommodate a hundred rivers. From then on, Dong Haichuan began to travel all over the world, to a place, learning a place, visiting a place, he often compared hands with others, to verify what he had learned. The place where he traveled, including Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places in the mountains and rivers, to visit the hermits and martial arts masters around the high people.

After nearly 30 years of searching, when Dong Haichuan was about 50 years old, he had integrated many kinds of boxing and Buddhist and Taoist methods into one, and his kung fu had reached the realm of the gods, and had many special features. During that time, Tung Hoi-chuan created a new martial arts style, initially named Turning Palm. Of course, in the past, Dong Haichuan's teacher has had a lot of different kinds of claims, many of which are bizarre and mysterious, but all of them can not stand the test.

Liang Zhenpu was known as Liang Quick Legs, and was also known as Braid Liang, because when he practiced Baguazhang, he could straighten his braids in the air. And because Mr. Leung Chun Po was in the garment appraisal business, people also called him Leung the garment appraiser.

At the age of 14, he studied Baguazhang with Mr. Dong Haichuan as his teacher, and was Mr. Dong's youngest disciple. Mr. Liang Zhenpu was smart and lively, polite to others, very respectful to his teachers and brothers, very serious in his practice, willing to work hard, and very perceptive, he could learn by example, and was much cherished by Mr. Cao. Dong Haichuan was nearly eighty years old, and he was very happy to see such a good student with both virtue and talent, but he was very strict in his demands, and he passed on his life's experience and martial arts skills to Mr. Liang Zhenpu. Mr. Liang Zhen Pu also often went to Yin Fu, Cheng Ting Hua, Shi Ji Dong and other senior brothers to study, and showed the martial arts learned from the brothers to the teacher, and the teacher then instructed him, so that Mr. Liang Zhen Pu quickly comprehend the Baguazhang techniques he had learned.

Mr. Leung Chun Po inherited the kung fu of Mr. Dong Gong, but also possessed the characteristics of his elder brothers, so he became a famous Baguazhang practitioner with outstanding kung fu. Because of this, Mr. Liang Zhenpu was able to defeat the "Four Heavens" of Hebei Jixian County, and in 1899, he killed dozens of people such as Zhao Liu, a gold standard, at Majiapu, outside Yongdingmen, Beijing. He was sentenced to death row by the Xing Ministry of the Qing Dynasty due to a lawsuit, but was reprieved due to the help of his disciple, Li Tongtai, and his brother, Cheng Tinghua, etc. The case had a great impact on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu rural area.
