This big book, filled with old pictures, is the newest and most complete text on certain phases and aspects of Xing Yi culture. It records the rise of the art, the important figures in it, many biographies, stories, photographs, background notes and much more. Nicely designed its 400 pages gives one of the most complete discussions of the art and the people involved particularly around the Tian Jin area where martial practice also had many political/national considerations. Pretty much a must have for the Xing Yi or martial historical enthusiast.
Simplified Chinese.
