HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Chen Style Taijiquan Old Frame (Lao Jia) Routine 1 is the foundational pillar of the Chen family martial system, refined by the 14th generation master Chen Changxing. This 3-DVD set features Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei, a 19th generation successor and one of the 'Four Tigers of Chenjiagou.' Master Chen’s execution of the 'Technical Routine' is renowned for its 'Fluid Structure' and 'Cohesive Choreography,' representing the 'Authentic Standards' of the lineage. This archive is a cornerstone of the 'Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection,' providing a direct link to the martial wisdom of the Chen ancestors through one of its most respected living masters.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The core of Lao Jia Yi Lu is 'Silk Reeling Jin' (Chan Si Jin). Master Chen Zhenglei demonstrates how this internal spiral power governs every movement, from the 'Dantian' to the fingertips. The biomechanics emphasize 'Body-Mind Alignment' and 'Dynamic Equilibrium,' where the body moves as a single integrated unit. The instruction covers 'Opening and Closing' (Kai He) of the joints and 'Rooting' through flexible yet stable footwork. Practitioners are taught to maintain an 'Un-aslant Natural Body Form,' allowing 'Internal Power' (Nei Jin) to command the whole body. The 'Kinetic Chain' is meticulously analyzed, showing how power is generated and expressed through 'Explosive Force' (Fa-Jin).
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND APPLICATIONS
In this comprehensive 3-DVD set, Master Chen provides a detailed breakdown of the 74 postures. The routine is characterized by 'Softness with Hidden Hardness' and 'Moving like Flowing Water.' The instruction emphasizes 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) and 'Neither Letting Go nor Confronting' (Bu Diu Bu Ding) principles. Each posture is analyzed for its 'Combat Application,' showing how the internal spirals translate into effective martial techniques. The 'Fast-Slow Interplay' and 'Springy Shaking' (Song Huo Dan Dou) are demonstrated with technical precision, providing a benchmark for 'Technical Efficiency' in traditional Wushu.
PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Master Chen Zhenglei’s teaching style is '严谨' (Rigorous) and 'Fact-Driven,' focusing on the biological reality of movement. This DVD set is an 'Invaluable Teacher' for those seeking to master the 'Internal Alchemy' of Taijiquan. By studying the Old Frame under his guidance, students learn to refine their 'Internal Cohesion' and achieve a state of 'Unified Spirit.' This archive is not merely an instructional video but a 'Wushu Heritage' preservation project, ensuring that the technical excellence and historical depth of Chen Style Taijiquan are documented for future generations of martial artists worldwide.

Chen Zhenglei : A Comprehensive Overview of Martial Arts Mastery and Lineage
Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei is one of the most prominent figures in modern Chinese martial arts. He is a 19th-generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan and is officially recognized as one of the "Top Ten Martial Arts Masters of Contemporary China." His work has been instrumental in transforming Tai Chi from a local village tradition into a global phenomenon.
1. Lineage & Heritage
Chen Zhenglei’s background represents the purest direct descent of the Chen family traditions:
Chen-Style Taijiquan: Born in Chenjiagou (the birthplace of Tai Chi), he was trained from a young age by his uncle, the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaopei, and later by Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui. This dual heritage allowed him to master both the "Old Frame" (Lao Jia) and "New Frame" (Xin Jia) systems.
The "Four Tigers" of Chen Village: He is celebrated as one of the "Four Buddha Attendants" (commonly known as the Four Tigers) of Chenjiagou, the four masters responsible for reviving and preserving Chen-style Tai Chi after the Cultural Revolution.
Comprehensive Mastery: Beyond the empty-hand forms, he is a master of the Taiji Spear, Taiji Sword, and the specialized "Push Hands" (Tui Shou) sensitivity training.
2. Major Contributions & Achievements
Global Pedagogy: As the founder of the Chen Zhenglei Taijiquan Federation, he has established a massive network of schools across North America, Europe, and Asia. He is a primary architect of the standardized teaching methods used in modern Tai Chi education.
Literary & Visual Legacy: He has authored numerous definitive works, including "Chen Family Taijiquan: Theory and Practice," and has produced an extensive library of instructional media. His books and videos are considered the "Gold Standard" for practitioners seeking the authentic Chenjiagou curriculum.
National Recognition: He holds the highest rank (9th Duan) from the Chinese Wushu Association and has served as a senior consultant for various national and international martial arts organizations.
3. Technical Style & Martial Characteristics
Grandmaster Chen’s performance is often cited as the textbook definition of the Chen style:
Silk Reeling (Chan Si Gong): His movements exemplify the continuous, spiral energy that is the hallmark of the Chen system.
Dynamic Contrast: His style perfectly balances Yin and Yang—moving as smoothly as flowing water one moment, followed by sudden, thunderous Fa Li (explosive power) the next.
Scientific Systematization: He is credited with breaking down the esoteric "internal" concepts of Tai Chi into logical, step-by-step training modules suitable for modern students, regardless of their cultural background.
HERITAGE ARCHIVE: This instructional media is part of the Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection. Our mission is to preserve the authentic lineage and technical standards of Chinese martial arts through systematic digital documentation.
