A resident of the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Ji  Jike was also known as Ji Longfeng. On his trip south to the Shaolin  Temple and Luoyang in Henan Province and Qiupu in Anhui Province, Ji  Jike passed his art on to Zeng Jiwu. During the reign of Emperor  Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Xingyi Quan was spread in Henan, Hebei and  Shanxi provinces. Ma Xueli, a Luoyang resident in He-nan, Dai Longbang,  a resident of Qixian in Shanxi, and Li Luoneng, Dai&#8217;s disciple from  Hebei, all co<em><\/em>ntributed to the dissemination and development of the  Chuan. Over centuries, this school of Chuan is now practised in  different styles. The Shanxi style is compact, delicate and yet forceful  while the Henan style is powerful, vigorous and substantial. The Hebei  style stresses steadiness, stur-dihess and comfort. As regards routines  of fist fight, a similarity is seen between the Shanxi style and the  Hebei style, both using three postures of the body, five major movements  of axing, bursting, penetrating, hurling and traversing and imitations  of 12 animal forms (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, turtle, chicken, hawk,  swallow, snake, owl, eagle and bear. The Henan style mainly imitates 10  animal forms (dragon, tiger, chicken, eagle, snake, horse, cat, monkey,  hawk and swallow).<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3298765447\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xingyi Quan or the form and meaning Chuan is also  called Xinyi Quan (free-mind Chuan), Xinyi Liuhe Quan (free-mind  six-combination Chuan)* or liuhe Quan (six-combination Chuan).
