The art of Yin Yang Bapanzhang was passed in nineteenth century by Dong Linmeng (Dong Menglin; also called Bi Dengxia) in Henan Province to his three disciples: Xue Yonghe, Li Zhenqing and Dong Hanqing (said to be another name of Dong Haichuan). Li Zhenqing (ab.1830-1900; native of Ba County in Hebei Province) learnt the art about 1850 and in the 1870s brought it to his hometown.
Li Zhenqing's three most famous students were Liu Baozhen, Xiao Haibo and Ren Zhicheng, author of famous book "Yin Yang Bapanzhang".
Ren Zhicheng (1878-1967) was one of Li Zhenqing's last disciples and learnt the art together with his three brothers. Ren wrote a book "Yin Yang Bapanzhang" (he actually dictated the book to his student, Gao Zhikai - also known as Gao Junkui - who wrote it down) and published it in 1937 at his own expense.
The art is still popular mainly in Wen'an County, where Ren Wenzhu, one of most famous experts of Yin Yang Bapanzhang, has his martial arts school.
Ren Zhi-cheng or Jia Xiang was from Hebei province, Wenan county, Beidou village.
At age 13, he and his brothers Zhizhong and Zhihe became disciples of Li Zhengqing
learning the art of Bapan Huanzhang” Eight Pan Revolving Linking Palm”. They
trained in the 'wuji” style and endured two years of “standing” practice, before Li
Zhenqing departed. The brothers were then reported to have begun the study of
“Flower Fist (huaquan) with Xue Yonghe. After two more years, Li Zhenqing
returned and continued training the brothers in leg gongfu (quan tui) along with
various other hand methods. After seven years of additional training they had become
extremely fluent with their skills, becoming extraordinarily fast and nimble. Ren
Zhicheng, was said to have the mannerisms of a hermit and so he infrequently had
social contact with any high ranking officials and consequently his name was not well
known to the public. When he was twenty seven years old he reported that he had met
an extraordinary master who had taught him Yinyang Banpan Zhang.
