Shang Jiting (尚霁亭), was a renowned master of Xingyiquan[2][3][4][5][6] in the late Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) and early Minguo (Republic of China, 1911–1949).
[9][10][11][12] In the beginning, Li Cunyi refused to accept Shang as a student due to his “not-ideal-physique for martial arts”.
When he was older, Shang also learned Baguazhang from both Li Cunyi and Cheng Tinghua (程庭华, 1848–1900).
Because he was skilled in combat, Guo Yunshen (郭云深, 1820–1901) visited him personally to instruct him on his Beng Quan methods (for which he had also been known).
Shang's oldest living student was Han Boyan (韩伯言, 1907–1996),[15] who at an old age became the first Internal Arts teacher of tai chi master Chen Zhonghua.
