Zhang Zhongyu is the fifth generation inheritor of Zhaobao Taijiquan. He chose his neighbor Yuan Fakong as his personal disciple. At that time, Yuan Fakong opened a Chinese medicine store in Damingfu, and he often went back and forth to do business. He took the opportunity to learn from his master in his spare time. He treated his master with great respect and even took care of his life, as close as a father and son. Moreover, Fakong was studious, so he learned the tricks. Zhang Zhongyu had a nephew Zhang Yan, who was very troublesome when he was young. Master Zhang did not pass on his skills, and sometimes asked Fakong to blame his nephew Zhang Yan. Yan was very angry, so he secretly studied hard on his own. Later, Master Zhongyu was old and bedridden, and his condition was serious. It happened that Fakong had not returned from the Damingfu pharmacy. Because the master had not passed on the last skills to Fakong, he was anxious to see Fakong return. Although he had sent someone to bring the letter, Master Zhongyu was worried that he would not be able to return on time due to the long journey, which would be a pity. With a sigh, he called his nephew Zhang Yan to his bedside and said: “I am sick and may not be able to wait for Fa Kong to return. Now I will give you the boxing manual, which contains all the mysteries of boxing. When Fa Kong returns, you should pass it on to him. Because you don’t understand its mysteries.” The master died soon after. When Fa Kong returned, he immediately arranged the funeral. After that, Fa Kong asked about the master’s last words. Yan said: “The master gave me all the boxing manuals and boxing skills, and asked me to pass them on to you. It was because the master asked you to blame me too much in the past, so I didn’t give it to you.” Fa Kong was extremely angry after hearing this, and raised his hand to hit him. The two fought, but Fa Kong was defeated by Zhang Yan. Fa Kong was angry and sick because of this, and died soon after. Fa Kong passed on his skills to his son Jinhua before his death, and later he had no successors.
