The history of Wushu is not included in the official history like other historical events, so there are not many references and it is impossible to trace back some historical events at that time accurately. However, according to the current literature, the most examinable can be traced back to Chen Taiji, the founder of Chen Taiji, and there is some evidence to prove it. As for Zhang Sanfeng, there is no strong evidence and no clear clue. Moreover, the word "Tai Chi" didn't start in Zhang Sanfeng, and the historical story of Zhang Sanfeng also has a certain mythical color.

Today, Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into six schools: Wutai Tai Ji Chuan, Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan, Zhao Baotai Tai Ji Chuan ... But none of these Tai Chi schools recognizes Zhang Sanfeng as the ancestor, because people have a clear inheritance process, and the first inheritor is not Zhang Sanfeng. Like Wu's Tai Chi, it can be clearly traced back to Wu's. Who is Zhang Sanfeng? Not our grandparents anyway.

According to the available information, Tang Hao has investigated this matter on the basis of a large number of historical facts, and the results show that Chen is indeed the founder of Tai Ji Chuan. A genealogy of Chen was unearthed in Jiaozuo, which also recorded in detail the process of Chen's founding Tai Ji Chuan on the basis of health preservation in Tai Ji Chuan, Wu Daozi.

It is not without historical facts to say that Tai Ji Chuan was not created by Zhang Sanfeng. Chinese experts have done many textual researches on this history, but they have never found any evidence of Zhang Sanfeng's creation. Therefore, we can't fully believe the history given by novels or TV plays, and everything should be based on historical facts.
