Profile

Feng Zhiqiang

，

Male, born in 1928, died of illness on the afternoon of May 5, 2012 at the age of 84. He was originally from Shulu County, Hebei Province. Mr. Feng was born in a martial arts family and his great grandfather took the martial arts examination. At the age of eight, Mr. Feng began to practice martial arts. He once practiced boy Kung Fu, tongbangquan and cinnabar palm. In 1948, he learned Xinyi liuhequan by paying homage to the famous master Hu Yaozhen. Two years later, he was recommended by Hu Xianshi and Chen fake, the 17 generation master of Chen Style Taijiquan and known as "taijiyiren", so he began to learn and practice with two masters. In 1953, the capital Wushu Research Society was established in Beijing. Chen and Hu were the two former masters of the society. Mr. Feng was their most proud disciple. At the age of 30, he had integrated mind, Tai Chi and internal and external skills. His martial arts had become very famous in Beijing Wushu circles at that time. Until the "Cultural Revolution", most of those who came to "meet friends with martial arts" were dealt with by Mr. Feng.

Since 1979, at the invitation of the Party branch of Chenjiagou brigade, Mr. Feng Zhiqiang went to Chenjiagou three times to pass on Chen Style Taijiquan, which was taught by Chen fake's first teacher, to the 19th generation of Chen family disciples. Chen family disciples also went to Beijing many times to further study with Mr. Feng. Nowadays, Chen Style Taijiquan in Chenjiagou is developing vigorously, and teacher Feng Zhiqiang has contributed a lot. In 1981, Beijing Institute of physical education invited Mr. Feng to come out of the mountain and defeated Western martial arts masters, which became a good story of the martial arts in Beijing. In 1982, the "national Taiji masters show" was held in Shanghai. Only Mr. Feng went there alone. The assistant of the push hand was randomly assigned by the meeting. After several competitions, Mr. Feng's superb martial arts skills were admirable. In 1983, Chen Style Taijiquan Research Association was officially established in Beijing, and Mr. Feng Zhiqiang was elected president. In 1984, Mr. Feng made his first public visit to Japan to give lectures, which was the earliest Chen Style Taijiquan officially going abroad. In 1985, Mr. Feng took part in the Chinese art delegation of the joint Department of the CPC Central Committee to visit the United States and Mexico. Since then, Mr. Feng has been appointed by the State Sports Commission, the national armed forces Association and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to visit countries all over the world. In the past 20 years, Mr. Feng's footprints have covered more than 40 countries and regions on five continents, making contributions to the development of Taijiquan and going to the world.

Mr. Feng is a patriotic martial arts master with noble martial arts ethics. No matter when and where he is, his words and deeds are based on the country, nation, school and personality. He has repeatedly declined the invitation to settle down abroad and engage in private employment with high salary. He always said, "my roots are in China.".

Main achievements

Innovative boxing

Chen Style Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan is an excellent boxing style founded in the world by Feng Zhiqiang after his lifelong study and his mastery of martial arts. It formed a system in the mid-1980s and began to spread at home and abroad in the 1990s. Hunyuan Taijiquan combines the essence of Chen Style Taijiquan and Xinyi Liuhe, which directly expresses the true meaning of Taijiquan. That is to say, under the guidance of mind, based on the theory of yin and Yang in Taiji, and through the practice of Taiji's thirteen postures, we can achieve the excellent kung fu of combining internal and external, and mixing yuan and Qi. Hunyuan Taijiquan is based on Hunyuan's internal skill. It is mainly composed of boxing equipment routines and single style exercises. It is also used for pushing hands and Sanshou. It has been greatly improved and developed in Gongfa, boxing and usage, forming a complete system. In terms of training content, the principle of "training both inside and outside, focusing on inside; combining dynamic and static, focusing on static; combining training and cultivation, focusing on Cultivation" has been formed. Hunyuan Taijiquan organically integrates the two aspects of health preservation and combat, which has excellent health preservation function and strong defensive effect. Thus, it effectively overcomes the disadvantages of "Gymnastics", "outsider" and "on paper" in the development of Taijiquan, and restores the original practice method of Taijiquan.

Life anecdotes

Feng Zhiqiang has a growing reputation among the contemporary Chen Style Taijiquan disciples.

Perhaps because of the genetic relationship of the previous generation, Feng Zhiqiang has been in good health since he was a child. When he was young, he picked up the big anvil of more than 100 Jin. When young, a meal can eat 3 jin of grain. You can break stones with your hands when you learn to do arm boxing. After learning Chen Style Taijiquan, his skill increased day by day, and many amazing things happened to him.

When Feng Zhiqiang was working in Beijing electric machinery factory, he was the head of a large class and was in charge of 11 production groups. Once, when he was working in the workshop, a motor lost its balance and slipped from the trolley. Feng Zhiqiang saw it. He said it was late, but it was fast. He stepped forward, sat down on his horse, reached out, caught the motor that was about to hit the ground, and calmly put it back on the car. The workers around were very surprised. This was in the '60s.

At the climax of the interview, the doorbell rang and a 30-year-old man came in. Mr. Feng said he was a colleague in the factory. Knowing that I was interviewing, the visitor stopped the topic and told me a few stories——

Mr. Feng is from our factory. Many people in the factory know that he knows Kung Fu. I didn't learn Taijiquan in the past. When I saw people playing Taijiquan slowly, just like fishing, I thought, how can this thing hit people? Once, I saw Mr. Feng after boxing, proposed to try his hand with him, Mr. Feng agreed. I used the tiger step of Xingyi boxing to press forward with both hands. At the same time, I held my breath and tried to beat him back. But my strength didn't seem to touch him. I only felt that he shook me, and "Ba" bounced me out. I opened my mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time. Although I have the initial understanding of taijijin this time, my suspicions have not been completely eliminated. I have to find a chance to try again Once again, in the temple of Heaven Park, Mr. Feng asked me to press my fist on his stomach. I thought, this time I had the upper hand. I was so lucky that I could only feel teacher Feng's tummy turning. I was thrown out and fell to the ground. I couldn't speak for a long time. This time, I really learned the strength of teacher Feng's Taijiquan, and I dare not underestimate Taijiquan any more.

There are many people like me who want to try Mr. Feng's Kung Fu. Mr. Feng is very popular and his colleagues like to play with him. One day, Mr. Feng was squatting in the workshop. A soldier wanted to play a joke with Mr. Feng. He hid first, then sneaked in and jumped on him. He wanted to take advantage of the chance that Mr. Feng didn't have time to stand up to make a surprise attack and push Mr. Feng down. Who knows, as soon as he got close to Mr. Feng, he was thrown to the front.

Feng Zhiqiang listened and said with a smile: "that time, I seemed to hear the wind behind me, and my body turned around involuntarily. Then he threw him over his head. This is unconscious. If I see him coming, maybe I can't cope with it. This shows that when you practice to a certain extent, the internal Qi will react automatically, and you don't have to command through your brain. "

The colleague went on to say that once in the park, 10 young people came. They were all martial arts enthusiasts or curious people. They wanted to see what Mr. Feng's Kung Fu was like. Mr. Feng stood casually and asked them to push in turn. But I couldn't push it. Later, 10 people lined up in a column and pushed together. Mr. Feng was like a big tree, not moving. Mr. Feng said: "let me push you 10 to have a look." after that, the force started from the heel, burst out in Dantian, passed on to the hand, and the 10 people suddenly fell.

Visit and exchange

Visit and exchange, return with honor

When interviewing Feng Zhiqiang, he suffered from his refusal to talk about fighting with others, especially the details of fighting with foreigners. I'm afraid that it's not good for others and I'm afraid that I'll make trouble for others. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with people, he uses the phrase "friendly communication, the other side shows respect". I have also looked through some newspapers and magazines about him, and I have found nothing in this regard. And this aspect of the content is one of the key points of my writing, one of the contents that make readers pay attention to, and also an important part of his legendary life. Therefore, I have to go to great pains to "chase" and "fight".

Since 1981, at the invitation of relevant departments, Feng Zhiqiang has visited the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Japan and other countries with the delegation. He has performed and tutored local Wushu groups to learn Chen Style Taijiquan in these countries. In Japan, in particular, he has been to Fusang for six years, teaching boxing for one month at a time.

Some foreigners do not know about Chinese martial arts, especially after the "Cultural Revolution". They think that in Chinese martial arts, it is not practical. As a result, many Chinese martial arts experts have met some special people to test their hands when they go abroad. Feng Zhiqiang has visited abroad several times to teach boxing. Almost every time, he can meet such "friendly testers".

Singapore is a martial arts country. It still keeps the challenge arena events like old China. Chinese martial arts are very popular there. When Feng Zhiqiang visited Singapore, a local martial arts personage learned through the news media that the Chinese martial arts team was coming. Feng Zhiqiang, a famous Chinese Taijiquan master, was a member of the delegation. After he found out the exact time when the Chinese martial arts team arrived in Singapore, he rode a motorcycle to the hotel where the Chinese martial arts team stayed and waited. As soon as the delegation got off the plane and arrived at the hotel, he found Feng Zhiqiang and proposed a "contest". Ali is said to have sparred with the boxing champion. Feng Zhiqiang, who was tired of the journey, was humble again and again, but the other side refused in every way and repeatedly asked to fight. In order not to disappoint each other
