Hao Weizhen (1842–1920) was a Chinesetai chi teacher. Hao became a well known and influential teacher of Wu Yuxiang's style of tai chi, his teacher Li Yiyou was Wu Yuxiang's nephew.[1] Hao passed the art of Wu Yuxiang's style of tai chi to his son and grandson, who became respected teachers in their own turns, so that the style is sometimes now known as Wu (Hao)-style.[1] One of Hao's most famous students was Sun Lutang.[2]
Tai chi lineage tree with Wu (Hao)-style focus[edit]
This lineage tree is not comprehensive, but depicts those considered the 'gate-keepers' & most recognised individuals in each generation of Wu (Hao)-style.
Although many styles were passed down to respective descendants of the same family, the lineage focused on is that of the Wu (Hao) style & not necessarily that of the family.'
