The Chen-Style Changquan 108 Forms, which some believe to be the foundation of all modern Chen-Style Taijiquan, was created by Chen Wangting after absorbing the strong points of various styles from different wushu schools. This long-style boxing routine of 108 forms was kept by the Chen family for 12th generations, until the Chen-style disciple Chen Bufu was accused of a crime and fled to Shanxi province, changing his name to Guo Yongfu. The form was thought to be lost until 1975, when Taiji master Chen Liqing paid a visit to Xu Fangqing in Sanxi province and recovered the Chen-Style Changquan 108 Forms from him.
