Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan: 

13 Postures

As handed down by Wang Yen-nien

(1914-2008)

by Julia Fairchild

    

Note: Master Wang Yen-nien learned the Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan 13 Postures from his teacher Zhang Qinlin in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China, in the mid-1940s.

 


In 1949, near the end of the Civil War in China, Master Wang fled China and followed Premier and Minister of National Defense Yan Xishan, a native of Shanxi, to Taiwan. When Mr. Yan Xishan was forced out of office by Mr. Chiang Kai-shek in 1950, all those loyal to Mr. Yan Xishan, including Master Wang, stepped down with him and retired from military service.

 

Now, no longer part of the military, Master Wang, still young (36 years old,) began teaching Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan in a park near his house. Eventually he met other martial artists, both young and old, who had also fled China to Taiwan. Together, in 1960, they established the first taijiquan association in Taiwan: the China Taijiquan Club (Zhongguo Taijiquan Julebu). Then, in the mid-1970s, during the early developmental years of Taijiquan in Taiwan, a national taijiquan association, representing all styles of taijiquan in Taiwan, gradually evolved and eventually received government recognition (1975.) http://www.ymti.org/us/int/hist.php

 

Master Wang, as a founding member of this association, was vice-chairman under Chairman Shi Jue when he was put in charge of forming a committee to develop a short form suitable for all members to practice when meeting for demonstrations and other large (national) group activities.
