Chen Wangting and the Li Family of Tang Village

In 2005, researchers Cheng Feng and Wei Meizhi published an article based on genealogical records from the Li 李 family of Tang Village 唐村, Bo’ai County, that purport to have direct bearing on the history of taijiquan.27

Tang Village in Bo’ai County has a population of about 1,300 people, 85 percent of whom have the surname Li. The Li family’s first ancestor migrated from Fenghuang Village 鳳凰村 in Hongtong County, Shanxi, in the fourth year of the Ming dynasty’s Hongwu period (1371) as part of the same forced-migration program that brought the Chen family to Chen Village.28 Bo’ai County and neighboring Wen County, where Chen Village is located, both belonged to the former Huaiqing Prefecture, which was one of the program’s many target destinations.
