Taijiquan (T'ai Chi) and Other Internal Martial Arts (9 pages total) The Origins of Taijiquan The origin of Taijiquan is one mixed with legends, theories, and folklore. The most commonly held belief places its historical origin around a small village in China's Henan Province (Chenjiagou), in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. (Historical Time Line). This village is where the oldest known "forms" were developed and taught by Wang TsungYhueh, and where Taijiquan seems to have become organized and structured into an "official" martial art. It must be noted that there are several other reputable opinions concerning the origin of the famous art, including the popular story about a Daoist Immortal named Chang SanFeng who created Taijiquan after watching a battle between a snake and a crane. One thing is obvious... Current styles have evolved through major changes in religious, philosophical, and economic changes within China as well as foreign invasions, domestic peasant uprisings, and major shifts in governmental policies.
