Chen-style Xinyi Hunyuan tai chi (陈式心意混元太极拳), called Hunyuan tai chi for short, was created by Feng Zhiqiang (冯志强; 1928–2012; 10th generation master of Chen-style tai chi and 2nd generation master of Beijing Chen-style tai chi), [51] one of Chen Fake's senior students and a student of Hu Yaozhen (胡耀貞; 1897–1973).
The form was the result of an effort by the Chinese Sports Committee, which, in 1956, brought together four tai chi teachers—Chu Guiting, Cai Longyun, Fu Zhongwen, and Zhang Yu—to create a simplified form of tai chi as exercise for the masses. Some sources suggests that the form was structured in 1956 by master Li Tianji (李天骥).
