Tongbiquan, also known as Tongbeiquan,
is a martial art posture. It is said that Tongbiquan

was created by Han Tong, a person from the Song
Dynasty who created the skills by imitating move-

ments of white apes. There are also variations of
Tongbiquan such as Sashou Tongbi, Erlang Tong-

bi, Wuxing Tongbi, and Heye Tongbi.
通臂拳，亦有称通背拳者。通臂门派，据传

为宋人韩通采白猿之技，创白猿通臂拳。更有撒
手通臂、二郎通臂、五行通臂、荷叶通臂等。

Cangzhou Tongbiquan was originated from
Heyi Tongbiquan in Duliu Jinghai (now a district

of Tianjin), and it is also known as the “Tongbiquan
24 Postures”. The term “Heyi” means the unity of

heaven and human nature, which refers to the syn-
chronization of thought and skills, the integration

and mastery of movements, where the mind con-
trols the body and the body moves effortlessly.
