Chen Qingping or Ch'en Ch'ing-p'ing (1795–1868) was a 15th generation descendant and 7th generation master of the Chen family tai chi, which he learned from Chen Youben, and the 7th generation successor of the Zhaobao style of tai chi, which he learned from Zhang Yan. He was an influential martial artist and teacher of tai chi.

Chen Qingping was married to a woman from the Zhaobao village, only a few miles north east of the Chen Village (Chenjiagou) — the home of the Chen Family famous for their martial arts.

Chen Qingping's main disciple He Zhaoyuan passed on this art which later developed into He-style tai chi. Other disciples, such as Li Zuozhi (created Tengnuojia), and Li Jingyan (created the Hulei-style tai chi), created their own styles by combining their arts with other martial arts popular in the local area where they lived.

Chen Qingping also taught Wu Yuxiang, who later developed the Wu (Hao)-style tai chi, sometimes referred to as the "Scholar-style of tai chi". Wu Yuxiang went to Chen Village to learn from Yang Luchan's master, Chen Changxing, who recommended him to Chen Qingping.

Tai chi lineage tree with Zhaobao focus

Note:

This lineage tree is not comprehensive, but depicts those considered the 'gate-keepers' & most recognised individuals in each generation of Zhaobao.
Although many styles were passed down to respective descendants of the same family, the lineage focused on is that of Zhaobao & not necessarily that of a family.
Names denoted by an asterisk are legendary or semi-legendary figures in the lineage; while their involvement in the lineage is accepted by most of the major schools, it is not independently verifiable from known historical records.

-After moving to the Zhaobao Village, Chen Qingping learned [[Zhaobao taijiquan]] from Zhang Yan (张彦). Although it is disputed what type of Tai Chi Chen Qingping ultimately passed on, the fact that Chen Tai Chi was a secret that was traditionally taught only to members of the Chen family and the fact that many notable students of Chen Qingping were not from the Chen family, it is most likely that Chen Qingping taught Zhaobao Taijiquan in more or less a pure form.
