1938 after the fall of Nanking, Zhao Chen Pi once returned to his hometown and taught Chinese broadsword in Fan's local anti-Japanese armed forces. "Wenxian annals" records that in peacetime, Zhao Chen Pi taught soldiers martial arts and trained their melee skills, especially the use of broadswords. In the battle, Zhao Chen Pi personally led the death squads to death.
During the Anti-Japanese War, many provincial organs in Henan were in Luoyang. 1940, Zhao Chen Pi was invited by many units to teach boxing in Luoyang. Two years later, Zhang of the Yellow River Conservancy Commission (who served as deputy minister of water and electricity after 1949) invited him to Ann. Zhang arranged for Zhao Chen Pi to be a keeper, with a job and salary, and taught boxing in his spare time.
Until 1948, Xi 'an Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee moved to Kaifeng. Zhao Chen Pi took the organs to "participate in the revolution", including people and horses, which were accepted by the red regime. Zhao Chen Pi also worked in Kaifeng until 1958 went home to visit relatives. When Zhao Chen Pi came home, almost no one in the village practiced boxing. 194 1 year, Chenjiagou was infested by locusts, and it was not harvested for two years. People eat grass roots and bark. In order to survive, most young and middle-aged people go to Xi 'an to escape and beg. "Their writing is poor, but their martial arts are high." They didn't eat enough, and Tai Ji Chuan was completely ruined.
Zhao Chen Pi was worried and proposed to the unit that he would retire and go home to pass the boxing. The personnel officer told him that if you go back now, you can only get 40% of your salary. According to the new policy, you can get 60% after three or four months. Zhao Chen Pi said, if you don't give me money, I will go, and I can't let Tai Ji Chuan in Chenjiagou break down. He only got 16 yuan's retirement salary.
Inheritance is the key word of Chen's 400-year history in Tai Ji Chuan, and Chen Jiagou's Tai Ji Chuan is indeed on the verge of fracture. 1958 is a very important turning point for the biography of Chen taiji in Chenjiagou. This year, Zhao Chen Pi, the 10th descendant of Chen Taiji, returned to the village.
After Zhao Chen Pi returned home, he immediately set up a boxing practice point at home and began to teach Tai Chi. At that time, young people in their thirties had to learn from him. Zhao Chen Pi didn't take anything, but taught it carefully, fearing that Tai Chi would be lost in Chenjiagou. When there were more people, he named it amateur sports school. At that time,,,, Chen, ... At that time, there was no distinction between Chen's surname and a foreign surname. As long as you were willing to learn from him, you could teach. However, Cui Chundong, a writer in Wenxian County and a researcher in Tai Ji Chuan, remembers that when Zhao Chen taught boxing, villagers would automatically set up sentries at the gate, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. 1966, the "Cultural Revolution" broke out, Tai Chi became a poisonous weed, the ancestral hall was demolished, and the ancestral tablets were smashed. 74-year-old Zhao Chen Pi was put on a pile of hats and dug up old scores with the Kuomintang. Those who practiced boxing together were criticized for "engaging in small groups" and family and sectarian organizations, saying that they "gathered at night and left at night".
1967, clean up the class team. At that time, Zhao Chen Pi was convicted of four crimes: the first was the landlord; The second fake martial arts coach; Third, when the national government taught to quit boxing, it joined the Kuomintang collectively; Article 4: I have participated in a homecoming group.
Playing Zhao Chen Pi, I was caught in the commune for many times. 1967 In early spring, the old man couldn't stand it and jumped into the well to commit suicide. The well was shallow and didn't drown. He was saved. Although he was rescued, his foot was punctured by the sharp stubble of the bamboo tube at the bottom of the well. Because he is the object of criticism, doctors in the brigade infirmary are afraid to see him. Chen Zhenglei and Chunlei Chen knelt in front of the doctor to plead, and the doctor gave in, telling them to go back and wash with salt water first, and then secretly wipe and cover him with iodine at night. As a result, Zhao Chen was lame for more than a year. Even if one foot can't touch the ground and knees are kneeling on the stool, the old man will talk about Tai Ji Chuan.
Since then, Zhao Chen Pi has compiled "Taiji Zhuan Quotations Boxing" and practiced it while singing. Cui Chundong recorded this story: "The Red Army is not afraid of expedition difficulties", and Taiji Chuan took the lead; "Qian Shan is always idle", "Hey", a diamond.
Under the protection of Mao's quotations, people began to practice boxing again. Criticism meetings in the village will also be held. Chen Zhenglei and Chen Xiaowang had to secretly go to the cemetery to practice hard in order to avoid people's eyes and ears.
Zhao Chen Pi managed to implement the policy to 1968, and the old man was rehabilitated: all these have been explained clearly. Joining the reunion is nothing.
1969 people's daily published quotations from chairman Mao: "whatever can be advocated, we must advocate it." Do gymnastics, play ball, run, climb mountains, swim, play Tai Ji Chuan, and all kinds of sports. "
Zhao Chen Pi happened to see the news and ran with a newspaper: "Ray, look at Chairman Mao's call to fight Tai Ji Chuan. Playing Tai Chi is not illegal! "
Zhao Chen Pi not only asked the young people in the village to continue practicing boxing, but also said that he would write a book when he was happy. So I began to sort out the information, and the "Thirteen Theories" began at this time.
1972, when Jinan held the National Wushu Performance Conference, Zhao Chen Pi was already ill in bed, and finally had to go by her granddaughter Chen Aiying alone. Also on February 30th, 65438, Zhao Chen Pi died in Wenxian Hospital at the age of 80.
