Features: Yang Style Tai Chi, which has taken shape through three generations of research and practice, has now spread worldwide. The content of this book adheres to the following three principles: 1. All described forms are based on the standardized postures of Master Yang Chengfu in his later years, with no modifications. 2. The anecdotes of the Yang Style lineage are based on original Yang texts and memories of Yang family tradition or personal experiences shared by teachers Zhao Bin and Fu Zhongwen. 3. If the content refers to other authors, it is intended to clarify historical facts or engage in academic discussions. Readers may approach it with the spirit of "hundred flowers blooming and hundred schools of thought contending," and the author will not impose personal views. The book consists of eight chapters and includes a photograph of Master Yang Chengfu practicing Tai Chi at the beginning. It also features appendices on the lineage of Yang Style Tai Chi, a table of relatives who have inherited the style, diagrams of Yang Style Tai Chi movements, and photographs of Master Yang Chengfu practicing Tai Chi at the end.
