Wangqinzhuang Village has a history of martial arts practice for nearly 300 years. In the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1720), there was a martial arts hall in the village, which was mainly composed of bodyguards from the Liu and Jing families. There were more than 30 martial arts practitioners, which once dominated the area. The villagers also practiced martial arts and exercised martial arts skills in their spare time. Wangqinzhuang Village became a veritable martial arts town on the banks of the North Grand Canal. In the 12th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1832), under the influence of the canal transportation culture and Mazu culture, Wang Dayou, a Shaolin Kung Fu boxer from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, came to Wangqinzhuang and settled down, staying in the village's charity organization's burial hall. The burial hall is a charitable organization that handles the aftermath of the poor and unable to bury the dead in the village free of charge. Its purpose is "to bury the bones for the sake of charity, and to bury the dead for the sake of fame". This hall also became the place where Wang Dayou taught martial arts. Because Wang Dayou was a master of martial arts, young people worshipped him as their teacher and formed a martial arts organization, the Zhongying Shaolin Association, which was later renamed the Zhongying Shaolin Association. Shaolin Kung Fu Fist was designated as the treasure of the association and a must-learn course for martial artists. Gradually, a good pattern of supporting the boxing with the association and promoting the association with the boxing was formed. Wang Dayou meticulously taught Shaolin Kung Fu Fist to many disciples, who benefited greatly and improved their boxing skills. He and his disciples spread Shaolin Kung Fu Fist to neighboring villages, such as Chailou, Yanjie, Dongxinfang, Taohua Temple, Taohuakou, Qudian, Shuangkou and other villages. After practicing Kung Fu Fist, the disciples' skills increased greatly. Cao Kezhong from this village had a good skill after ten years of training. Even if 10 people beat him, they couldn't get close. Later, he joined the army and became one of the famous generals in the late Qing Dynasty. Huang Jinxiang from this village practiced Gongliquan, and his kung fu improved greatly. He also learned thirty-six moves, and also learned the quality of chivalry and selflessness of the masters. No matter which village or martial arts organization the descendants of Wang Qinzhuang Shaolin Gongliquan teach to, they all follow the boxing routines of boxer Wang Dayou, and teach them in an uncompromising and authentic way. Practicing boxing to strengthen the body has become a trend, and the boxing practice venue (Tai Ma Guild Hall) has become an indispensable place for cultural and sports activities in the village. Before each practice and meeting, all members must worship the "Seation of Master Liu Erye" enshrined on one side of the martial arts hall, and silently pray for the blessing of the gods. The practice and performance are smooth, and each practice and meeting is accompanied by gongs and drums, which has continued to this day. The main characteristics of Shaolin Gongliquan are that the palm is like a tile ridge, the fist is like a roll, the hand is like a meteor, the eye is like lightning, and it can be pushed, carried, held, lifted, leaned, supported, turned over and stomped, and it can be supported, hooked, hung, and hit. The footwork includes walking, chain steps, and striding.

The arm techniques include double arm throwing and shoulder arm scraping. - There are holding the pile, leaning on the board, shoulder bumping, hip hitting, knee lifting, elbow pushing, whole body movement, supporting all directions, strong and fierce, and explosive. The body shape is like a bow, the hand is like a sword, the waist is like a spring, the foot is like a turn, jumping like flying, landing like cotton, and the body size is free. The beats are light, flexible, clear and tough. When practicing and performing Shaolin Gongliquan, follow the boxing routines, 36 moves, big Gongli, small Gongli, six-legged frame, etc., under the beating of gongs and drums, the practitioners advance both hard and soft, stretch and soar, giving people a feeling of shock, striving, and pleasure.

As time went by, in the 1960s and 1970s, due to various reasons, Shaolin Gongli Boxing was on the verge of extinction many times. The third-generation inheritor Yang Lu was old, but he did his best to pass on his skills to the children in the village so that Wang Qinzhuang Shaolin Gongli Boxing could be preserved and passed on to future generations. In the 1980s, under the vigorous organization of the sixth-generation successor Lv Wenzhong and with the strong support of governments at all levels, Shaolin Kung Fu Fist was revived again, and the practice was unprecedented. In the 1990s, with the sponsorship of the village committee and the elders in the village, the old training hall preserved by the predecessors was rebuilt. The rebuilt training hall has a tall and majestic 180-square-meter martial arts hall, complete martial arts equipment, and the club equipment has a history of more than 100 years. The ancient photos of the older generation practicing martial arts are hung on one side of the martial arts hall, the new and old club flags are erected in the middle of the hall, and various rules and regulations are hung on the other side of the hall. It is both elegant and solemn. There is also a performance and practice venue of more than 200 square meters outdoors, providing a good martial arts environment for young people. Wang Qinzhuang Shaolin Gongliquan has been passed down for eight generations: the first generation was Wang Dayou (1793-1864); the second generation was Bao Chunyuan (1817-1898), Shao Wen (1818-1896), Chen Qi (1819-1894), Li Yongyi (1820-1899); the third generation was Lü Guowen (1877-1924), Yang Lu (1897-1981); the fourth generation was Lü Zhenyu (1902-1972), Cao Zhenkun (19 2003-1984); the fifth generation inheritors Cao Yongmian (1928-1992), Cao Chenggui (1935-1998); the sixth generation inheritors Li Qingping (1934-2011), Lv Wenzhong (1942 to present), Liu Shaohe (1942 to present), Yang Bochun (1950 to present); the seventh generation inheritors Cao Jiaqiang (1957 to present), Zhao Shuli (1963 to present), Zhao Shuhe (1970 to present); the eighth generation inheritor Gao Chunliang (1976 to present). For the effective inheritance, the boxing club will comprehensively protect the following contents: all routines and boxing manuals of Shaolin Kung Fu boxing, traditional club tools and equipment, traditional skills excavated and sorted by old artists, and the enthusiasm of old artists to pass on, help and guide. And formulate a series of management systems and protection measures: 1. Decorate the clubhouse, give it a brand new look, and become the training base of Shaolin Kung Fu boxing. 2. Strengthen management and assign responsibilities to individuals. Assign a dedicated person to manage equipment, establish files of the Shaolin Kung Fu Boxing Club and members, and formulate practical rules and regulations. 3. Increase training and bring out new talents. Establish a youth training system, hold training courses regularly, recruit students, expand influence, and increase visibility. In addition, do a good job of publicity and popularization in Wangqinzhuang Primary School. 4. Carry forward inheritance and maintain characteristics. Give full play to the role of the old master in passing on, helping, and leading, and pass it on to the next generation without reservation, so that it can be passed on in a healthy, orderly, and authentic manner. 5. The village committee regularly supports Shaolin Kung Fu Boxing. Information source: Tianjin Beichen Cultural Information Network (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
