The current circulation of Xingyiquan was founded by Li Luoneng, a native of Shenzhou, Hebei Province, during the Daoguang period, on the basis of the reform of Xingyiquan, which emphasizes the high degree of unity between the internal intention and the external appearance. The following is the history of the origin and development of Xingyiquan that I have organized for you, welcome to read and browse.

Origin Legends:

The founding of Xingyiquan and its origins, there are many different opinions, there is no conclusive historical evidence, the main argument there are three kinds of:

Origins of the first: Legends are the creation of the Dharma old man. Dharma Department of Tianzhu (India's ancient name) monks, he came to China to teach the Buddhist scriptures, Shaolin Temple in Mount Songshan face wall for nine years, and after the temple had a number of highly skilled martial arts monks, the descendants of its name and Dharma will be recognized as the originator of the Xingyiquan; another poet in order to commemorate the spirit of Dharma transmission of the spirit of the poem "Wing Dharma" poem, which reads: "Dharma West to the word no, all depending on the To seek the Buddha's teachings from the paper, the tip of the pen is dipped into the dry Dongting Lake". Because of the original name of Xingyiquan Xingyiquan, so recognize Dharma as the originator of Xingyiquan said that the later look at the meaning of the misunderstanding.

Origin 2: said Xingyiquan was created by Yue Fei. In an anonymous . Ancient boxing preface wrote: "When Wu Mu child, trained in the master, proficient in the gun, off the gun when the fist, set up a law to teach the generals and zos, the name of the day art (Yi) boxing, the mysterious, cover the ancient technology has not been. After Wang Jin, Yuan, Ming dynasty, few of its skills, only my Ji Gong, the name of the inter can, the word Long Feng (Huang Xinmin's "Ji inter can be the first exploration of the life of the" article certified as "Long Feng"). Born in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty (according to Huang Xinmin testified that Ji inter can be born in the Ming Dynasty Wanli years, died in the Qing Dynasty Kangxi years), for the Pudong Zhufeng people's (that is, today's Shanxi Province, Yongji County), to visit the famous teacher in the Terminal South Mountain, meet a different person, Yue Wu Mu Wang boxing spectrum, speculate on the practice of a few years, as much as possible to understand its subtleties, and then awarded the remaining teacher Mr. Cao Jiwu in the autumn Pope (now in Anhui Province), no one does not know its courage, Mr. Wu for ten or two years, the skills of courage to achieve great success. ......". The preface of this section of the spectrum is written in the Qing dynasty Qianlong fifteen years of age, gengwu lotus month, by Dai Longbang preface in Henan Luoyang Ma XueLi bookstore, from the above preface and the division of the oral instruction are said to be shaped boxing is created by Yue Fei. But in 1982, Huang Xinmin for the examination of the origin of Xingyiquan, special from Anhui to Shanxi Yongji County, Zun village to do some investigation, in his "Xingyiquan origins of the examination" in the book analyzed: "from the historical books, there is no Yue Fei made up boxing records." And from Yue Fei's life analysis of its no time to compile this boxing.

Origins 3: said Xingyiquan is the creation of Ji Interco. According to the Qing dynasty Yongzheng year spectrum "Xingyiquan original examination", "boxing theory questioning the preface" in the account: Ji Longfeng home village, skilled in gunplay, but he thought that once the hand without a blade, in the event of an accident will be difficult to self-defense, and then refer to the gun, created the Xingyiquan.

According to Sun Lutang in the "Xingyiquan" "preface" said: "Yu heard my teacher cloud, Xingyiquan created from the Dharma master, called the internal path. To the Song Yue Wu Mu Wang invented, Yuan and Ming dynasties because of the lack of books almost lost. When the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, there are Pudong Feng people Ji Gong Mr. Zhi inter can, the word Long Feng, martial arts, experienced a year, suitable for the Terminal South Mountain got Yue Wu Mu Wang spectrum several edits, the integration of its subtle subtleties and subtleties, and then taught Mr. Cao Jiwu. Mr. Cao that the Kangxi dibutyl sebacate three yuan, for the town of Shaanxi Jingyuan is also.

History of Development:

Since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Xingyiquan has been widely spread in Shanxi, Henan and Hebei. Its emergence and development was influenced by the Jin merchants, various generations of martial arts pioneers in different regions to inherit the original ideological martial arts based on the combination of their own bodyguard protection business practices continue to research, study and enrichment. Especially in Jinzhong counties where Jin merchants originated, such as Qixian, Taigu, Yuji, Pingyao and other places in the process of the development and improvement of Xingyiquan have made historic contributions.

Ji Ji Ji Ke once traveled to Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, Luoyang, Anhui Province, etc., and passed on his art to Cao Jiwu, a native of Qiupu, Anhui Province.

Cao Jiwu also passed on to Henan Ma Xue Li, Ma Xue Li of Henan Xingyiquan a, still known as the "mind six boxing", generally only in the Hui people.

Dai Longbang in his hometown of Qi County. Daoguang sixteen years (1836), Zhili (Hebei) Shenzhou people Li Feiyu (word can Ran, known as the old can, Luo can) in admiration of the name to Shanxi Qixian, the teacher Dai Longbang learned "Dai's Xingyiquan".

Li Feiyu (word Luo can) learned after the completion of a wide range of disciples, the main disciples have Shanxi Che Yonghong (word Yi Zhai), Song Shirong (word about Zhai), Song Shide, Li Guangheng four people. Later became the founder of Shanxi Xingyiquan Che, Song two schools. Li Feiyu in Hebei and passed Liu Qilan, Guo Yunshen, Liu Xiaolan, He Yunheng, and so on, and formed the Hebei school of Xingyiquan.

These disciples have their own strengths, and the northern Xingyiquan has gradually evolved into the Shanxi Xingyiquan and Hebei Xingyiquan with local characteristics, also known as Shanxi Xiaojia and Hebei Dajia.

Liu Qilan passed on Li Cunyi, who gradually strengthened Hebei Xingyiquan. Xue Ban, who created Xingyiquan.

Guo Yunshen, whose specialty was the Half-step Avalanche Fist, further enriched the content of Xingyiquan's Five Elements Fist.

Sun Lutang (孙禄堂) studied under Li Kuiyuan (李奎元), and was taught Xingyiquan by Guo Yunshen (郭云深), and also learned the Bagua Palm of the Cheng School (程派八卦掌), and the Wu Style (武式太极拳).

Wang Xiangzhai studied under Guo Yunshen, and on the basis of Xingyiquan, he learned from all the strengths to create Yiquan, which was later derived as Dachengquan, but the theory of its boxing method is within the scope of Xingyiquan.

Guo Yunshen and Dong Haichuan, the originator of Bagua Palm, believe that Bagua Palm and Xingyiquan have complementary skills in boxing theory, so the two schools to brotherhood, learning from each other, known as Xingyiquan. But the development of the great should start with Li Cunyi and Cheng Tinghua, both in the Beijing-Tianjin area to teach boxing, friendship and good, so the Hebei Xingyiquan more than under the simultaneous study of Bagua Palm, to the beginning of the Zhang Zhanqui, it is the real Xingyi Bagua Boxing as the name of the apprentice.

In addition, there is the modern Shaolin Temple of the mind put (class Xingyiquan) and Liangping County, Sichuan Province around the circulation of the Jinjia Gong.

In 1911, Li Cunyi founded the Chinese Wushu Association in Tianjin, uniting his colleagues in the martial arts community and training a number of outstanding martial arts talents.

Three years of the Republic of China (1914), Li Cunyi last to Taigu, and fellow brothers Li Fuzhen, Bu Xuekuan, Song Tielin, Liu Jian and other **** with the discussion of the generation of Xingyi disciples, decided to fly from the Fei Yu Gong the second generation of the heir to the "Huabang but martial arts and social unity of the strong Ning" cross for the generation of the order, so that those who have come to have a genealogy can be found.
