Baguazhang School has a great influence on the five schools of Yin, Liang, Cheng, Zhang and Shi. Baguazhang is a widely spread boxing method in China, and it is one of the three major boxing methods handed down from family. It is also the embodiment of Taoist health, fitness and self-defense. It takes the eight-pile method as the palm work, integrates eight hands into one, and is based on one to eight steps of swing, buckle and forward footwork. It takes walking in circles as the basic movement route and palm technique as the core. In the process of turning around, the whole body is one step, and the steps are like running water. Posture requirements are: twist and turn to be coordinated and complete, walk like Youlong, and turn like an eagle. The main techniques are: stabbing, inserting, splitting, pulling, crossing, bumping, buckling, turning, supporting and so on. Baguazhang is a boxing method that combines health preservation and martial arts to cultivate one's morality. It was the first teacher in Dong Haichuan who combined martial arts with internal skills, learned from others and combined his rich experience to create a palm-based technical means. Different from other boxing methods, it walks in circles, "stepping on mud and cutting legs, as steady as sitting in a sedan chair", switching between breaking and avoiding right and oblique. Moreover, it has obvious effects in treating diseases, practicing internal strength, practicing martial arts and cultivating self-cultivation. Especially in internal strength and moral cultivation, the performance is more prominent.

According to textual research, Dong Haichuan (about 1797 ~ 1882), a native of Wen 'an County, Hebei Province in the Qing Dynasty, was inspired by Taoist cultivation and combined with martial arts. Dong Haichuan used to be the Boxer Rebellion of Su Wangfu in Qing Dynasty, so Bagua Palm first spread around Beijing, spread all over the country in the past hundred years, and spread abroad (such as Southeast Asia and the United States).
