I think you mean Gu Liuxin, who was also a student of Chen Fake

Not really familiar with them myself. However per this discussion, they are two different people; Gu Lisheng being fourth generation and Gu Liu Xing being fifth generation:

The "Old Yang" 108 forms is a bit too embellished for my taste. I got to about 2 minutes of watching.

Yang Shaohou briefly taught at the Sport Institute in Beijing run by Xu Yusheng together with a number of other famous masters.

As this was a public venue all those who attended were just open students, and they were taught an open curriculum which was a mixture of things coming from the various teachers.

Some of these people, including Gu Lisheng, later taught openly and most of so-called "Shaohou" lineages seen around these days derive from this bunch of people.

Nothing of what they did in Beijing, or what their descendants teach today, have much or anything to do with Shaohou's actual (disciple) curriculum and this is why what people see today from these lineages bear such striking resemblance to Yang Chengfu's style.

something does not sound clear about your statement. Did you mean to say, that what these "Shaohao" folks are teaching today has little resemblance to what the Yang's teach today?

That of course makes sense, and why some people are now pushing that the older ways of "Shaohao" and "Jianhao" generations seem to be "BETTER" somehow as to what the Yangs are currently teaching.

IMHO the art has advanced, but things have been lost that would be nice to still have. Taijiquan is the classics, remove everything that doesn't fit.

I mean that what we all see mostly on the web which claims Shaohou (or Jianhou, Banhou etc) lineages is either totally made up or at best derives from public students of a Sport Institute in Beijing during Republican Era. These students learnt a public (made up for purpose) short curriculum from a group of notable teachers, then passed down their stuff some of which still survive these days ... as you can see from the opening video.

Advancing or retreating is very much a matter of perspectives

From a martial standpoint, the art has obviously made HUGE steps backward simply because “evolution” only happens when there is a need. And for what “martial need” concerns, the martial arts have become very much obsolete in China with the end of Qing dynasty hence - from that moment onward - it has been very much a general downfall
