forms of the Chen Family. Changxing is the master who taught Yang Luchan.

This form was taught to Chen Zhonghua by Hong Junsheng. Hong learned it from Chen Fake
(Chen Changxing's great grand-son) from 1930 to 1944. Then in 1956, Hong spent another 4 months
with Chen Fake refining this form. Every single move in this form was corrected by Chen Fake numerous
times. Hong practiced this form all his life. It was his foundation form and he required that all his
students start with this form.

Chen Zhonghua learned this form from Hong Junsheng in 1979. It took him till 1983 to finish learning
it. He practiced this form daily from 1985 to 1991. After 1991, he received corrections on it from
Hong once each year till 1994.
