Was he a known fighter like his father and grandfather? It'd be good to know more about him; I like reading about the first three generations of the Yang family.
Another name I was wondering about is Yang Zhensheng, son of Yang Shaohou, although unlike Zhaopeng I'm not even sure he was involved in Tai Chi at all.
I've heard that Yang Zhaopeng taught some folks, but it was not large frame, closer to middle frame with much more 'chan suu jin' silk reeling. Fu Zhongwen mentioned learning from his neighbor Yang Zhaopeng for many years in Guangfu town/Yongnian before sent to Shanghai to later learn from and be a disciple to Yang Chenfu who would be the "Lineage Holder" of the Yang Family.
