According to this, Tai Ji Chuan was created by Chen in the late Ming Dynasty. The representatives who hold this view are Tang Hao and Gu, researchers of Wushu history. Mr. Tang Hao made a field trip in wen county, Henan Province, and came to this conclusion after consulting county annals and Chen's genealogy. The main basis is a poem in Chen's posthumous work: "Alas, in those days, I was persistent in sweeping away bandits and stumbled several times. Blessed in vain! Up to now, I am old and exhausted. In the end, only Huang Ting is left, making fists in leisure and plowing in busy hours. Taking advantage of leisure, teach a few disciples and grandchildren to make it easier for Jackie Chan to become a tiger ... ",as an argument for his creation of Tai Ji Chuan; In addition, according to Chen's genealogy, Chen is "the founder of Chen's Boxer and the sword", because Tai Ji Chuan, who is widely circulated, is related to Chen's Tai Ji Chuan, which adds to the authority of this statement. For a time, this view was dominant, such as a concise dictionary of martial arts and other books. After only two days of investigation, China Folk Writers Association named wen county as the birthplace of Tai Ji Chuan in China, which was also questioned by most people.
2. Zhang Sanfeng's theory of creating boxing.
Because Tai Ji Chuan's theory is based on the "Taiji Theory" in China's classical philosophy, and Taoism and Taoism are the players of this theory, the relationship between Taoism and Tai Ji Chuan has also attracted the attention of Wulin people, and Zhang Sanfeng's boxing theory is actually a reflection of this phenomenon. This view has a long history. This was a traditional conclusion before the "Chen Chuang Boxing Theory" became popular. For example, Yang Chengfu's preface to The Complete Book of Taiji Biography and Body Use said: "The ancestral edict, Taiji Biography was founded in Zhang Sanfeng at the end of the Song Dynasty. The inheritors are Wang Zongyue, Tong and Zhang Songxi. " Biography of Zhang Zhenren. Earlier, for example, Li Yishe's "Introduction to Taiji" also said: "Taiji began in Song and Zhang Sanfeng". Many people agree with this statement today. Its supporting documents, such as Sanfeng Quanshu, record that "Shaolin is the family outside, and wudang zhang sanfeng is the family inside".
3. Wang Zongyue's Theory of Creating Boxing.
Wang Zongyue's important position in the history of China and Tai Ji Chuan has been recognized by boxers in past dynasties. He first expounded the boxing theory in Zhou Ziquan's book by using the concept of Yi-ology, and wrote On Tai Ji Chuan. Thus, the title of Taiji Zhuan was established, and his text became the peak of the traditional theory of Taiji Zhuan. Because Wang Zongyue systematically discussed Tai Ji Chuan's boxing theory and methods for the first time, and Wang has a track record in the history of martial arts, some people think that Wang Zongyue summed up the previous experience, created the Tai Ji Chuan in the world, and later spread it to Chenjiagou.
4. Wudang Mountain Boxing Theory
China Wushu has a deep relationship with religion. At least in theory, it can be seen that it involves a wide range. However, the popular distinction between "inner family" and "outer family" classifies Wudang as inner family and Shaolin as outer family. Whether its argument is objective or not can be discussed separately, but it undoubtedly aggravates the religious color of Wushu. On this basis, the view that "Tai Ji Chuan originated in Wudang Mountain" naturally appeared. According to this view, "alchemy" is a major activity of Taoism in China, and it is also a method of studying health preservation in ancient times. On the basis of long-term practice of Inner Elixir (mostly static), Wudang Taoist combined with breathing, breathing and guidance to form Tai Ji Chuan, whose main function is to dredge the meridians (such as taking pulse, ren and du). ) and reconcile qi and blood, so as to achieve the effect of resisting disease and prolonging life, and then absorb other boxing methods.
5. Other viewpoints
For example, Chen Buchuang Boxing of Chenjiagou said; Xu Xuanping's theory of boxing creation in Tang Dynasty: Li Daozhi's theory of boxing creation in Tang Dynasty (called "congenital boxing"); Hu's Theory of Boxing Creation in Tang Dynasty: Qi Jiguang's Theory of Boxing Creation (because the boxing figure in Ji Xiaoxin's Book is very similar to that in Taiji Zhuan today); In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han Palace created boxing and so on. Most of these statements are active; Or by fist name; Or according to boxing records; Or according to historical data. These statements also have followers. Of course, those who hold arguments are eloquent, and those who oppose them are vivid.
