The History of Chen Shi's Hometown Road in Taiji Zhuan

In the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to emigrate from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province to Huaiqing Prefecture. Among the immigrants, there is a young man named Chen Bu, whose ancestral home is Dongtuhe Village, Zezhou County, Shanxi Province. After years of disasters in his hometown, he fled to Hongdong, was wrapped in the immigration team with his wife and children, and was taken into Huaiqing House. He settled in the northeast of Wenxian County 10 km, and named the village Chenbuzhuang. Because Chenbuzhuang is low-lying, it is often flooded. In the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Chen Bu's banker led him to Changyang Village. This village is located in the southeast of Chenbuzhuang, west Qingfeng Ridge, with the Yellow River in the south and the ridge in the north, which ensures the drought and flood. Changyang Village has persimmon ditch in the west, north ditch in the east, and ditch surrounded on three sides. With the growth of the Chen family, Changyang Village was renamed Chenjiagou. Until the founding of New China, the name "Gu Changyang" was written on the wedding utensils used by Chenjiagou. Chenjiagou is about 5 kilometers east of Wenxian County, and it is still dominated by Chen's surname, with more than 2,600 residents in the village.

Chen Bu, the ancestor of the Chen family, settled in Changyang Village, Qingfeng Ridge, worked hard and established a family. Chen Bu, who is proficient in boxing, set up a martial arts club in the village to teach his descendants to practice boxing and martial arts in order to protect mulberries from local bandits.

Chen Bu and his descendants lived under one roof for six generations, including Chen Gang II, Chen Lin III, Chen Jingyuan IV, Chen Tang V and Chen VI. Seven brothers, Chen Siqi, Chen and Chen, started their own careers. Chen Siqi passed on Chen Shoushen in the eighth, then Chen I read, Chen I speak, Chen I recite and Chen I desert in the ninth, and then Chen I told Chen Ruxin in the tenth. Another branch of the Chen family, the fourth and seventh generations of Chen, spread to the eighth generation of Chen Fumin, and Chen Fumin spread to the ninth generation of Chen Zhuogan and Chen Zhuoting.

Chen (about 1509), also known as Chen, was born in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He is both a civilian and a soldier. He went to Yudai Mountain alone, trying to stop the rebellion of Li Ji, a martial artist in Dengfeng. He made great achievements for the Qing court to pacify Shandong bandits. He is very famous in Henan and Shandong, but he has not been reused by the Qing court. Unable to serve the country, Chen retired. In addition to farming, he invented and created a set of new boxing methods combining Yin and Yang, combining with the ancestral 100 single-eight-style long boxing, drawing on the strengths of many families, combining the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements in Yi ology, and referring to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the technique of guiding breathing, including Tai Ji Chuan five-way, artillery one-way, two-push, knife and gun. From the existing "Long and Short Sentences" by Chen, we can learn some things at that time: "Alas, in those days, I was indomitable, swept across the atmosphere and stumbled several times! Blessed in vain, I am still breathing when I am old. In the end, there was only a roll of Huang Ting as a companion, who used to punch in his spare time, plow in his busy time, and teach some disciples' children and grandchildren in his spare time to make Jackie Chan a tiger. If you owe official grain early, you should pay off your private debt, but don't flatter with arrogance and flattery, be patient first. People treat me like a fool, they treat me like an asshole, and they often wash their ears without playing the crown. Laughing and killing thousands of generals, being conscientious, is not as good as Shu Tai in my heart. Fame and fortune are always not greedy for understanding institutions, know Handan, like fishing, wander around mountains and rivers, and waste nothing for prosperity. If you get a healthy and peaceful world, you don't regret it. It doesn't matter if he is indifferent to the world, and it doesn't matter if he succeeds or fails. If not immortal, who is immortal? "Chen's ability to practice boxing in his later years is also inseparable from a martial arts master named. When Wang Tinggong broke into Yudai Mountain in his early years, Li met one of Li's men, who was also very skilled in martial arts. It is said that his feet are as fast as flying and he can chase rabbits with a hundred paces. After being exiled by the Qing government, he defected to Chen. He regards Chen as his friend and teacher, and is willing to be a servant and disciple. The close relationship gives Chen an opponent to learn from, and the new Tai Ji Chuan can also be tested and revised in practice.
