Features: Daxing Quan (Great Unity Fist) is a modern Chinese martial arts system established by Master Wang Xiangzhai, a renowned martial arts master of the modern era, in the 1940s. It combines the strengths of various traditional Chinese martial arts schools and has since developed into a scientifically advanced system with remarkable health benefits and strong practical combat application. This brand-new scientific martial arts system has gained fame both at home and abroad. The main content of this book includes unpublished manuscripts by Master Wang Xiangzhai, his disciples, and followers, as well as martial arts literature collected, organized, and preserved by Mr. He Zhenwei over the years. Many of these writings are classics due to their profound philosophical depth and precise descriptions of techniques. Among them, the authentic handwritten manuscript of Wang Xiangzhai's 1944 work, The Theory of Daxing Quan, is published in this book for the first time. This serves as a reliable reference for distinguishing and correcting errors and omissions in previously published hand-copied versions, making it of great significance! The book also includes Master Wang Xiangzhai's posthumous works such as The Path of the Fist, On the Three Forms of Daxing Quan, Recordings of Master Wang Xiangzhai's Teachings, Li Yongzong's Six Taboos of Daxing Quan Sparring, Yang Demao's Key Points of Daxing Quan Pushing Hands, and Wang Xuanjie's The Power of the Upper-Middle Pressing and Lifting Form in Daxing Quan. These are all martial arts writings by late masters. Additionally, the book features manuscripts by Wang Xiangzhai's daughter, Lady Wang Yufang, his disciple Li Jianyu, and secretary Mi Jingke, as well as writings from three generations of his disciples. Mr. He Zhenwei's works, such as The Essence of 100 Daxing Quan Principles and Analysis and Interpretation of Daxing Quan Theory and Terminology, are also published here for the first time. The book also includes rare photographs and training photos of Master Wang Xiangzhai and his disciples. The posthumous portrait of Master Wang Xiangzhai's disciple Hong Lianshun, a group photo of Master Yao Zongxun with his disciple Wang Xuanjie and four others, and many other valuable photographs related to the development of Daxing Quan, such as the Pavilion of the Grand Temple and the Earth Pavilion, are all published in this book for the first time. This book deeply explores, reveals, summarizes, and perfects the scientific truth of the theoretical system and the essence of the practice system of Master Wang Xiangzhai's martial arts. At the same time, it rescues and publishes important martial arts literature that had been lost for many years, ensuring its preservation for future generations. This book advances Master Wang Xiangzhai's martial arts system to a new historical stage, holding significant practical and profound historical importance. The publication of this book reflects Mr. He Zhenwei's lifelong dedication, and it has been recognized, supported, and praised by Master Wang Xiangzhai, his living disciples, and many other senior masters and colleagues. The book is rich in content and holds extremely high value in martial arts, academia, history, practical application, and collectibility.
