The origins of Tai Chi Chuan are obscured by history and legend. One legend has it that the semi-mythical Chinese Taoist priest Zhāng Sānfēng, said to have been born either in 960, 1247, or in 1279, is credited to have originated the concept of the internal martial arts, and it is said that he created Tai Chi Chuan. According to legend, he observed a bird attacking a snake on Wudang Mountain and was greatly inspired by the snake’s defensive tactics. The snake remained still and alert in face of the bird’s onslaught until it made a lunge and fatally bit its attacker. This inspired him to create a 72-movement Tai Chi Chuan set. The Taoist philosophy and teachings of Wudang Mountain were passed down through many generations. No verifiable historical records can be found until about 300 years ago. These earliest records indicate that Tai Chi Chuan can be traced to Chenjiagou, a small village in Henan Province, home of the Chen clan.
