Zhang Qinlin (1888–1967) was an influential martial artist, teacher, and lineage holder of the Yangjia Michuan style of tai chi.
After Zhang successfully fought a challenge match against a famous martial artist from southern China, Wan Mou, the elder Yang decided the young student had earned the right to learn the Yangjia Michuan teachings.
It was then that Jianhou taught Zhang the Yangjia Michuan tai chi system in addition to his regular daily training.
According to the history provided by his student, Wang Yen-nien, Zhang went on to win the national championship in the unarmed division later that year.
Wang Yen-nien, who moved to Taipei, Taiwan in 1949 where he lived until his death in May 2008, was the second and last student of Zhang’s to receive the entirety of the Yangjia Michuan tai chi system.
