As far as I remember, only the Cui lineage in PRC does list ZMQ as an official indoor of YCF. That was also topic of a famous fight between Wang Zihe (Lü Dianchen lineage) and ZMQ, both drunken, with ZMQ landing in the gutter. Many older TW teachers and masters (from other arts) really don't have much good to say about ZMQ, especially because of his connections to the ruling KMT clique in those days, and the change to a more sohisticated health game for well-offs
OTOH, interesting for me was, that YZD and his so-called master students went to southern TW in the early 2000s (Gaoxiong/Tainan). YZD gave an infamous speech about his stretched back leg, Taiwanese didn't like that at all, but YZD refused to touch hands with Ju Hongbin (a ZMQ indoor) or any one. In 2 weeks, the mainland team did not win one single phs match with the Taiwanese, they locked really ..... I drove a lot thru heavy traffic to watch all that and was utterly disappointed.
