Wang Zi-Ping (1881–1973) was a Chinese-Muslim [1] practitioner of Chinese Martial Arts and traditional medicine from Changzhou, Cangxian county, Mengcun, Hebei Province.[2] He served as the leader of the Shaolin Kung Fu division of the Martial Arts Institute in 1928 and was also the vice chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association.[3] Wang was known for his mastery of Chaquan, Huaquan, Pao Chuan, Bajiquan, and T'ai chi ch'uan.[citation needed] He was a master of Wushu.[4][5][6]

Biography

Early in his life, Wang was a member of a resistance group known as "The Righteous and Harmonious Fists" during the Boxer Rebellion against foreign imperialism, fighting against the Eight-Nation Alliance. This was believed to be resulting from the fact that Ziping had lived most of his life with China under imperialist pressure from major European powers. Some accounts say he was forced into exile from his home after the end of the Boxer Rebellion and suppression of the Boxers,[7][8][9][10] and became a student of Yang Hongxiu,[11] from whom he learned the art of Chaquan.

Wang won fights against Russian, American, German, and Japanese martial artists.[12][13]

Wang defeated a German officer's challenge in a weight lifting contest at Jiaoji. When the Germans wanted to take the antique doors of the Qinzhou mosque for themselves, Wang Zi-ping guarded the doors so the Germans challenged him to another weight lifting contest. When Wang triumphed over their challenge, the Germans left.[14] Wang defeated a Russian who was rampaging around a public park located in Beijing after he boasted that he was the strongest fighter in the world in 1919. During a fight, Wang threw Japanese colonial military policemen down the stairs, one by one after they attacked him in Qingdao.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]

Wang and Zhu Guofu defended martial arts historian Tang Hao (Tang Fansheng) from opponents who were angered by his work "Shaolin-Wudang Kao" which refuted the story of Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng as being the creators of Shaolin and Taijiquan.[30]

Liu Jin Sheng, who authored "Chin Na Methods" along with Zhao Jiang, was a student of Wang.[31]

He developed an exercise regime for long life. He published works on martial arts exercises.[32][33]

At the sixth National Games Wang served as a judge for martial arts and wrestling.[34] When Zhou Enlai visited Burma, Wang, then 80 years old, went with them performed martial arts during the visit. He died when he was 93 years old.[35]

Wang developed "Quan Shr Er Shr Fa" (Twenty Fist Method)[36] as well as "Ching Long Jian" (Green Dragon Sword). He was succeeded by his daughter Wang Ju-Rong and his granddaughters Grace Wu (Xiaogo), Wu Xiaoping and Helen Wu (Xiaorong).

Wang Zi-ping had only one daughter, Wang Jurong,[37][38] and his three granddaughters through her are Grace X. Wu,[39][40] Helen Wu, and Wu Xiaoping.
