(Intro-1917 Group) The Hsing Chen lineage: This photo shows our Ba Gua (Pa Kua ) lineage. It was taken in 1917 in Beijing and includes third and fourth generation students of the art. Note on the arrangement of Chinese surnames: The Oriental system for indicating the family name is opposite that of the Occidental; while in the West it appears at the end of a person's name, as in John Smith, in the Eastern way it is traditionally indicated first, as in Yang Chen-Fu. |
