Zhang Sanfeng was a Taoist in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The year of birth and death is an ominous year. Tong Ming, also known as Quan Yi, is called Junbao, which is called Sanfeng, and Fengfeng is also a peak. It can be said that Zhang Sanfeng lived from Yuanyou (A.D.1314-1320) to the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 14 17). If it is between1314 ~1317-17, it should be over 100 years old! He was born in Yizhou, Liaodong (now Liaoning), and later generations regarded him as a hermit. In other words, Zhang Sanfeng was born in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and even the Jin Dynasty, and his native place is also said to be Pingyang, Yi and Baoji.

Ming Yingzong Tianshun three years (AD 1459), named "Tongwei Exposes Real People". In the twenty-second year of Chenghua (A.D. 1486), Xianzong named it "a true immortal who hides his light and pursues his ambition". In the third year of the Apocalypse (A.D. 1623), Emperor Xizong called Sanfeng a god, and named him "the benevolence of showing dragons and the real king of saving the world".

Zhang Sanfeng, a native of Yizhou (now Zhijiang County, Hunan Province), was born in Ajunbao.

He was a Taoist leader in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. He traveled all over the country and built a house in Taihe Mountain (Wudang Mountain) in Hubei Province.

According to the Ming History and the edited Taihe Mountain Records, there is no mention of Zhang Sanfeng's boxing; Even the manuscript of Sanfeng Quanshu compiled by Taoist priests living in Sichuan in 1723 and the face of Sanfeng Quanshu reprinted and published by Changyi Li in 1844 all claimed to have seen Zhang Sanfeng in14th century, but they never fabricated that Zhang Sanfeng knew how to box or19th century and early 20th century.

But why was Zhang Sanfeng famous in China in the early Ming Dynasty? If we study the deeds of Zhang Sanfeng in Hu Zhuan, Zheng He Zhuan, Yao Zhuan and Ji Fang Zhuan in Ming Dynasty, and make textual research on relevant historical materials, we can clearly see that Zhang Sanfeng, a deified figure who was talked about at that time, was originally a by-product of the Ming Dynasty's court's struggle for the throne after Ming Taizu's death.

The historical truth is that after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the yuan dynasty because of the early death of the prince. However, Judy, the younger brother of the Crown Prince, killed Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, from Yanjing (Beijing) in the name of "Jingnan" in the fourth year of Wen Jian, seized the throne and changed to Yongle. Because it is said that he did not die in battle, Emperor Yongle was not at ease and sent his close friend Hu to see him. In the second year of Yongle, it was rumored that Wen Jian fled overseas, and Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He (known as Sanbao eunuch) and other soldiers across the sea, but failed to find the whereabouts of Emperor Wen Jian. In the seventeenth year of Yongle, Hu was sent to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces to search for the whereabouts, and he checked it four times.

After a secret visit in 2 1 year, Wen Jian's whereabouts at home and abroad before and after Ming Chengzu, he put down his worries.

However, the news that the emperor sent Hu Shangshu (Hu) to visit Zhang slovenly Taoist priest spread all over the people.

Emperor Yongle, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, ordered Guo Lian, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, and others to lead 300,000 people to build a large-scale construction project in Wudang Mountain, costing millions of silver.

Since then, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain has become a fashionable figure in people's legends.

Five hundred years later, he was honored as the founder of Tai Ji Chuan by feudal literati.
