Chen Style Tai Chi is one of the schools of Tai Chi, which appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Chen-style Tai Chi is divided into the old frame and the new frame.

Chen-style Tai Chi is also divided into big and small frames, as well as new and old frames. The second frame belongs to the big frame series, which was summarized and compiled by Chen Changxing, the fourteenth generation of Chen style, in the family boxing frame.
