I think everyone agrees that Chen Wangting (1960-1986) coined the term Taijiquan and has a link to Internal Martial Art which disappeared due to political reason. The Chens people got mixed up with the genealogies of Taijiquan and the Chens family in Chenjiagou. After all, Chen Wangting was a 9th generation member of Chens family in Chenjiagou.

Saying that only Chen style TJQ with no or few references to the actual history of MINDBODY conditioning is protected is just another attempt to press the Great Cultural Revolution forward.
