Wēnxiàn

Wen County lies north of the Yellow River beneath the Taihang Mountains. In the village of Chenjiagou, the Chen family developed a distinctive martial tradition that came to be known as Chen-style taijiquan. Its origins are associated with Chen Wangting, who lived through the fall of the Ming and taught boxing to his descendants. Generations later Chen Changxing taught Yang Luchan, carrying the art beyond the family.
