Features: The purpose of this series of facsimile reproductions is to provide martial arts enthusiasts from all walks of life with materials for appreciation, study, and reference, aiming to promote the national martial arts, preserve the essence of Chinese culture, and ensure that future learners do not lose the authentic tradition. Most of the original books were published during the Republic of China period, and the contributors were all direct descendants of various martial arts schools. They followed the meticulous techniques left behind by their predecessors, fearing that they might be lost over time. Therefore, they compiled decades of experience in practicing martial arts and shared it with the world. The series is rich in content, with sound principles, simple language, detailed explanations, and action illustrations, making it an excellent resource for learners. To make it even more convenient for martial arts enthusiasts to study and read the ancient martial arts texts, we have made some improvements to the series: we have simplified the text throughout the books; attempted to punctuate the sentences; and, following modern reading habits, converted the processed text into horizontal layout while publishing it alongside the original version for easy comparison.
