Layout of former residence

Yang luchan's former residence was built in the late Qing Dynasty, covering a total area of 980 square meters, which is divided into North and south parts. In 1992, Yang luchan's former residence was rebuilt on the basis of the original, and the whole building is larger and higher than the original appearance. In addition, a statue of Yang style Taiji master, a memorial hall, a pavilion for people to rest and a teahouse were added. Wu Yuxiang's former residence is a courtyard with typical architectural style of late Qing Dynasty. The former residence covers an area of 9000 square meters and is now a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province. There are 75 original houses in the former residence and 42 existing houses, which are arranged along three north-south axes of East, middle and West. Unfortunately, the courtyards on both sides of the axis were destroyed in the early years, but the buildings on the central axis are still well preserved. There are three courtyards along the central axis.

Historical contribution

Master Yang luchan (1799-1872) is a representative figure of Taijiquan movement. He spent 20 years learning the essence of Taijiquan three times in Chenjiagou. He stuck to the essence of Taijiquan, failed to introduce Taijiquan, changed a lot, appeared and disappeared, and reached the realm of free will. Since then, Taijiquan has changed from unknown to praise, from secret to widespread. Princes, nobles and literati also joined the school one after another. In order to meet the needs of these people, Yang Lu Chan modified Chen's difficult movements, such as vigorous and jumping in the old frame, and created a set of "soft style" routines, which are graceful in posture, mellow in movement and firm in softness. Later, his son Yang Jianhou, Yang banhou and his grandson Yang Chengfu formed the most popular Yang Style Taijiquan.
