History
Although the exact origin of Xingyiquan is uncertain, the earliest written records of Xingyiquan can be traced to the 18th century to Ma Xueli of Henan Province and Dai Longbang of Shanxi Province.
Legend, however, credits the invention of Xingyiquan to the renowned Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) general Yue Fei (岳飛). This is inferred from a passage within a Chinese text called the Preface to Six Harmonies Boxing (六合拳序; pinyin: Liùhéquán Xu) written in 1750. According to the Preface, Yue Fei created Xingyiquan for his officers, mimicking the fighting patterns of the spear. After Yue Fei's death, the art was lost for half a millennium. Then, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Shaanxi Province's Zhongnan Mountains, Yue Fei's boxing manual was discovered by Ji Longfeng (also known as Ji Jike) of neighbouring Shanxi Province.
