Lianshi city Boat Boxing tradions

Liànshì Chuán Quán (Lianshi city Boat Boxing)

Lianshi Town is located in Hangzhou prefecture along the Jianghang canal between lake Taihu and Hangzhou bay.
The Yangtze delta area is rich in terms of fish and rice production as well as being known for it's artisans and craftsmen and it's position as a major hub of trade.
The local martial arts show many influences from various areas of China. It is not uncommon to see martial arts forms from as far north as Henan or Shandong or south from Fujian and Zhejiang. Because of this the local martial arts show a wide range of forms and influences from all across China.
This area is crisscrossed with swamps, rivers, streams, canals, ponds, and lakes.
Traditionally boats have always been the main form of transport in this region and many of the cities are built along bodies of water and have series of small canals leading into the city to connect them to the rivers, and canals which serve as roads in the area.
In this region the various native martial arts practiced in the canal or river towns and along the coast are often referred to as Chuan Quan Boat Boxing.
Outside this area many people are confused about this term and believe it refers to a specific style of martial arts. However it is actually used across a wide area spreading for hundreds of miles around the area surrounding Yangtze river delta as a general term for the martial arts practiced in the various towns and villages built on the waterways, coast, or islands.
Generally the term is followed by the name of the locality, in this instance Lianshi Chuan Quan (Lianshi Boat Boxing) meaning the native martial arts practiced in Lianshi city.

Martial Traditions of Fuzhou's Yongtai County

Yǒngtài county in the Fúzhōu prefecture of Fújiàn province has long been know for it's martial arts.
Yongtai county is in a rugged mountainous area of Fujian, in the mountains there are many remote villages. The villagers there make a living by farming the mountain slopes and valleys.
Hidden in these villages are a number of rare martial arts which today are often called Southern Shaolin. However according to local myth the Fujian southern boxing traditions were actually founded by Zhang Ciguan and his two companions. These three men are considered the founders of the Black Hat sect of Lu Shan Boxing. There are other myths from the area which also relate the founding of the Fujian Southern Boxing tradition to the founder of the Red Hat sect of Lu Shan Taoism.
We know that several major styles were practiced in or originated from the two oldest temples of Lu Shan Black Hat sect, Xiaolian Si and Fangguang Yan Si which are located in Yongtai. Several local Yongtai styles now claim to have come from the mythical Southern Shaolin temple.
At least a couple of these such as Dog Boxing and Anhai Method have actually been able to be traced back to to the two Taoist temples previously mentioned. The Iron Monks of local Fujian five ancestor myths also make appearances in some Yongtai styles (in oral tradition Anhai was said to have studied under Iron Bead)
Boxing has long been popular in Yongtai with martial arts originating from both it's villages and it's mountain monasteries.
Some of the better known Yongtai arts featured in this video are De Shù Quán Ground Method Boxing A.K.A. Gǒu Quán (Dog Boxing), Hǔ Zūn Quán (Tiger Respect Boxing), Jī Fǎ (Rooster Method), Zǒuláng Quán (Corridor Boxing), and Ānhǎi Quán (Peaceful Sea Boxing). Also practiced are many family styles and animal forms unknown outside of this area, some of which are shown here.
