The new shelf was set up by Mr. Chen Fake in his later years, and was later popularized by his son Chen Zhaokui throughout the country. After arriving at Chenjiagou, in order to distinguish it from the original boxing frame, it was called the new boxing frame. Before the new rack spread to Chenjiagou, there were old racks (also called big racks) and small racks (also called new racks) in Chenjiagou. On the basis of the family traditions of Taiji No.5 Road, Cannon No.1 Road and Changquan 108, Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen Dynasty, returned the contract by fighting, which was summarized as Chen Taiji's passing on No.1 Road and No.2 Road. This boxing is called the old fight (or the big fight). At this time, Chen Youben, the 14th Chen family in Chenjiagou, also created a set of routines. This routine circle is relatively small, not strong, and there is no big box, so people call it a small box (also called a new box). In 1970s, after the introduction of the new frame created by Chen Fa Branch into Chenjiagou, these three types of boxing frames were called old frame, new frame and small frame respectively for the convenience of distinction.
The layout of these three sets of boxing frames is basically similar, but the exercise form of each movement is different: the old frame is stretched, generous, calm and continuous; The small frame has strong consistency and is small and exquisite; On the basis of the old frame, the new frame greatly enhances the performance of Tai Ji Chuan's silk winding strength, and has more loose and elastic movements.
