The Meishan is a southern-style martial art. It was formed by ancestors imitating the movements of wild animals in a dangerous natural environment. It is all about attacking and defending, a pragmatic fist with no deceptive moves. Yan Xizheng is the inheritor of the Meishan martial art as a national intangible cultural heritage. Growing up in the Meishan Mountain, he was deeply influenced by the local martial art culture. His prodigious talent gained him recognition by his first master. At the age of 72, he has acquired the essence of traditional martial arts. The Meishan martial art is famous for a steady stance and intrepid attack. But in Yan's opinion, a cultural background is more important than sheer strength.
