Cheng Man-ch'ing

Chinese martial artist (1902–1975)

In this Chinese name, the family name is Zheng.

Cheng Man-ch'ing or Zheng Manqing (29 July 1902 - 26 March 1975) was a Chinese expert of tai chi, Chinese medicine, and the so-called three perfections: calligraphy, painting and poetry. He was born in Yongjia (present-day Wenzhou), Zhejiang Province, during the Qing dynasty.[1] Cheng died March 26, 1975; his grave is near the city of Taipei in Taiwan.

Because of his skills in the 3 Perfections or "Excellences" – considered to be among some of the traditional skills and pastimes of a Confucian scholar – plus medicine and tai chi, he was often referred to as the "Master of Five Excellences." Because he had been a college professor, his students in the USA called him "Professor Cheng."

Early years

Cheng's father died when Cheng was very young.[2] Around the age of nine, Cheng was struck on the head by a falling object, and was in a coma for a short while. He recuperated slowly, and was apprenticed to a well-known artist, Wang Xiangchan 汪香禪

When Cheng Man Ching unexpectedly died in 1975, he was buried with a traditional ceremony, which included the writing of a so-called funerary biography. For the benefit of his fellow American students, Tam Gibbs translated Cheng Man Ching’s funerary biography a few years later into American english. This online publication serves to honour Tam’s work and to preserve his effort for future generations of Cheng Man Ching Tai Chi.
