Douglas Wiles translates and analyzes four collections of recently
released nineteenth-century manuscripts on T'ai-chi ch'uan. These
writings of Wu's older brothers Ch'eng-ch'ing and Ju-ch'ing, and
his nephew Li I-yu, together with the transmissions of Yang
Pan-hou, represent a significant addition to the seminal
literature. The rich new texts allow us to make a fresh survey of
longstanding issues in T'ai-chi history: the origins of the art;
the authorship of the 'classics'; the differences between We, Yang,
and Li; and the roles of Chang San-feng. Wang Tsung-yueh, Chiang
Fa, and the formerly missing link, Ch'ang Nai-chou. The original
Chinese texts of the four new sets of classics have been appended
for the convenience of Chinese readers and scholars.
