Sun Lutang (1860 to 1933) was a master of Chinese internal martial arts and the progenitor of the syncretic Sun style of tai chi. Born in Hebei as Sun Fuquan, he took the name Sun Lutang from his baguazhang teacher Cheng Tinghua. He first became expert in xingyiquan and baguazhang, learning xingyiquan from Li Kuiyuan and Guo Yunshen, and only late in life studied Wu (Hao) style tai chi under Hao Weizhen. After 1914 he was invited to teach tai chi to the public at the Beijing Physical Education Research Institute alongside Yang Shaohou, Yang Chengfu and Wu Jianquan. He was also regarded as an accomplished Neo-Confucian and Taoist scholar, especially of the I Ching, and published widely on the theory of internal martial arts.
