He and others lived incognito, disguised as monks and Taoist rangers, and passed on arts for a living.

In addition, because people opposed feudal exploitation and oppression in history, Cangzhou folk martial arts flourished. There have been many wars in Cangzhou area in every dynasty and generation.
