There are two different opinions about the founding of Tai Ji Chuan.
It is said that Tai Ji Chuan originated from Chen. Chen Bushan is a martial arts expert. He once established a martial arts club in the village, which enabled Chen to practice boxing and dancing from generation to generation.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Jiu-shi Chen absorbed the essence of various excellent folk boxing methods on the basis of ancestral boxing, combined with the guidance, breathing and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, and created a new family boxing, which was named Tai Ji Chuan according to the meaning of yin-yang transformation. Chen Changxing, 14th Chen, Guangkai Boxing Gate, was a famous disciple of Yang Luchan, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province. Later, the biography of Chen Taiji gradually evolved into the representative school of "Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun" in China.
