History
The Song dynasty Taoist sage Chen Tuan is often credited with its origin and development.[1] He was associated with the Taoist Monastery on Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province.[2]
It is said he had learned the art from three teachers: Yan Guoxing, Chen Guangdi (who learned the art from a monk, Da Yuan and a Taoist, Li Chan), and Chen Helu.[3]
