The book "The Art of Xingyiquan" by Li Jianqiu contains teachings on the martial art of Xingyiquan, specifically focusing on the Five Elements. The author explains that Xingyiquan originated in Shanxi province and was later passed down through various lineages. However, due to the passage of time and lack of systematic recording, there are many errors and inconsistencies in the existing Xingyiquan manuscripts. The author believes that the Five Elements are the foundation of Xingyiquan and should be practiced thoroughly. He goes on to provide detailed explanations and illustrations of each of the Five Elements, including their movements, applications, and variations. He also emphasizes the importance of proper body mechanics, breathing, and mental focus in practicing Xingyiquan. Overall, the book serves as a comprehensive guide to the practice of Xingyiquan through the lens of the Five Elements, offering both theoretical explanations and practical instructions for students of this martial art. Li Jianqiu (1891-1976) was a renowned master of the martial art Xingyiquan, also known as "Form-Intention Fist." Born in Hebei province, China, Li began his martial arts training at a young age, studying with several renowned masters.

Li went on to become a well-respected teacher and practitioner of Xingyiquan, developing his own unique style and teaching many students throughout his life. He also wrote several books on Xingyiquan, including "The Art of Xingyiquan," which focuses on the Five Elements and is still considered a classic in the field of martial arts literature. Li Jianqiu's contributions to the development and preservation of Xingyiquan have made him a respected figure in the history of Chinese martial arts.
