武术在中国有很长的路要走，并且由几个学科组成。由于缺乏有记录的历史以及许多艺术仅仅是孤立地实践的事实，很难编制任何一个艺术的完整历史。八卦掌就是这种情况。没有人真正知道是谁发明了八卦掌。也就是说，在清道光中期（1821-150）到光绪六年（1881年），艺术似乎达到了它的高度。文件表明，董海川的名字高手对艺术的受欢迎程度负有高度的责任。在19世纪，他在北京皇宫担任仆人，最终以他的技能给皇帝留下了深刻印象，以至于他成为了法庭的保镖。有大量证据表明，海川从中国农村山区的道教甚至佛教教师那里学到了这种做法。事实上，有一些证据表明，董孟麟的名字教导了董海川和其他八卦掌，虽然历史是阴天。因此，如果没有发明艺术形式，董海川就被广泛认可。从海川出发，八卦掌在诸陈甫，尹甫，程廷华，宋长荣，刘凤春，马维ig，梁振普，刘德宽等知名大师中传播。从这些从业者，形成了原始风格的几个分支，所有这些分支都强调了不同的东西。很多人认为程庭华是海川最好的学生。因为八卦掌是一种内部武术风格，早期训练关注的是心灵，特别是内心（心灵）和外在（运动）之间的联系。最终，这转化为该学科的实际运动和技术。八卦掌通常以缓慢移动，流动的形式为特征。也就是说，各种风格之间存在差异。八卦掌的主要目的是改善健康。学习这种艺术形式背后的理论是，一旦理解，一个人的整体生活和平衡就会得到改善。冥想和有效利用一个人的能量是其核心。作为一种武术风格，八卦掌教导练习者如何使用对手自己的攻击性或能量来对付他。这不是一种硬风格。换言之，不强调电源动力移动。
新加坡国立大学社会学论文代写：中国武术
Martial arts have a long way to go in China and consist of several disciplines. Due to the lack of a recorded history and the fact that many art is only practiced in isolation, it is difficult to compile a complete history of art. This is the case with the Eight Diagrams Palm. No one really knows who invented the Eight Diagrams Palm. That is to say, in the middle of the Qing dynasty (1821-150) to the sixth year of Guangxu (1881), art seems to have reached its height. The documents show that Dong Haichuan’s name is highly responsible for the popularity of art. In the 19th century, he served as a servant in the Beijing Imperial Palace, and finally impressed the emperor with his skills, so that he became the bodyguard of the court. There is ample evidence that Haichuan learned this from Taoist and even Buddhist teachers in rural China. In fact, there is some evidence that Dong Menglin’s name teaches Dong Haichuan and other gossip, although history is cloudy. Therefore, if there is no invention of art, Dong Haichuan is widely recognized. Starting from Haichuan, Ba Guzhang spread in well-known masters such as Zhu Chenyu, Yin Wei, Cheng Tinghua, Song Changrong, Liu Fengchun, Ma Weiig, Liang Zhenpu and Liu Dekuan. From these practitioners, several branches of the original style were formed, all of which emphasized different things. Many people think that Cheng Tinghua is the best student in Haichuan. Because the Eight Diagrams Palm is an internal martial arts style, early training focused on the connection between the mind, especially the inner heart (mind) and the outer (sports). Ultimately, this translates into the actual movement and technology of the discipline. The gossip is usually characterized by a slow moving, flowing form. In other words, there are differences between the various styles. The main purpose of the Eight Diagrams Palm is to improve health. The theory behind learning this art form is that once understood, one’s overall life and balance will improve. Meditation and effective use of one’s energy are at its core. As a martial arts style, Gossip teaches practitioners how to use their opponent’s aggressiveness or energy to deal with him. This is not a hard style. In other words, power supply dynamics are not emphasized.
