Immortal Guides the Way: The Collected Works of Chen Weiming is a comprehensive collection of writings by Chen Weiming, a renowned scholar, taijiquan teacher, and author. Delve into the profound wisdom and teachings of a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on the world of martial arts.
Hailing from a scholarly family in Qishui, Hubei, China, Chen Weiming's upbringing laid the foundation for his pursuit of knowledge. Immersed in the Chinese classics, calligraphy, poetry, and essay-writing from an early age, Chen developed a deep appreciation for the arts and literature. Passing the mid-level civil service exams in 1902, he embarked on a career in the Qing History Office, following in the footsteps of his accomplished ancestors.
Chen's journey into the world of martial arts commenced in Beijing under the tutelage of Sun Lutang, a prominent figure in xingyi and bagua. Eager to expand his repertoire, Chen then became a devoted student of Yang Chengfu, grandson of Yang Luchan, the progenitor of the Yang family lineage and taijiquan's founder. These experiences became pivotal in shaping Chen's understanding of martial arts.
In 1925, Chen relocated to Shanghai, where he established the Zhi Ruo (Achieving Softness) Taijiquan Association, creating a platform to share his knowledge and insights. Recognizing the importance of disseminating the teachings of taijiquan to a wider audience, Chen authored three influential books, including The Art of Taijiquan, Taiji Sword, and Questions and Answers on Taijiquan. These seminal works not only provided invaluable content but also served as groundbreaking publications, making taijiquan accessible to the masses.
While Chen may not have achieved the same level of fame as some of his contemporaries, such as Dong Yingjie and Zheng Manqing, his books have stood the test of time, maintaining their significance as indispensable references for understanding taijiquan in the early 1900s. Moreover, his scholarly works penned under the name Chen Zengze further underscore his breadth of knowledge and intellectual contributions.
Immortal Guides the Way offers readers a profound exploration of Chen Weiming's writings, shedding light on his unique perspective, insights, and teachings. Gain a deeper understanding of taijiquan, delve into the rich historical context, and embark on a journey guided by the wisdom of an extraordinary martial arts scholar.
