吴氏太极拳拳架在被称为“吴氏太极拳”前，已有“大架、小架”，大架也称外传架，小架称内传架，均是全佑当年学自杨禄禅先师的。而杨禄禅则得自陈长兴，陈长兴得自由其九世祖陈奏庭一路传下（陈长兴为陈氏五传者）的。陈奏庭与李仲、李信则先学于董秉乾老道，其舅父李春茂及王堡王仲锦则学于董秉乾道友博公道长。入清后陈奏庭又随蒋发深造。博公、董秉乾、蒋发均为山西汾州府汾河小王庄王氏七世祖王宗岳弟子，王宗岳则为小王庄旁观庙来自云南云游道人（父女俩）之弟子。云南云游道人是元末张三丰祖师的五世传人。
外传大架不知始自何人，大约自王宗岳时始有，为考验弟子所设。杨禄禅、吴全佑当年开始学拳时均只知外传大架。内传小架是真传架，亦即张三丰祖师原创架，恩师马公岳梁传之内传小架即现称吴氏快架，其动作名称及顺序与唐村李氏康熙年间的谱载十三势完全一样，马公也多次说过吴氏快架就是杨禄禅得自陈长兴的道家内传小架。因是传承人，故陈长兴、杨禄禅、全佑均不称自己是创始人。
陈氏太极始自陈有本，赵堡太极始自陈清萍（得张彦传内传小架，又学陈有本架。传武禹襄内传小架，传怀庆府弟子内传架与陈有本架的混合架，怀庆府各弟子又各自创拳架），武氏太极始自武禹襄（改创内传小架而来）及郝月如（改创武禹襄拳架），杨氏太极始自杨建侯（创中架）、杨澄甫（创杨澄甫大架），吴氏太极则始自吴鉴泉。孙氏太极始自孙禄堂（改武禹襄拳架，混入形意、八卦），王氏拳架始自王兰亭（改杨禄禅所传大小架为太极五星椎，混入岳氏连拳、八卦），犹龙太极始自司新三（以武当培远尘道人“周身法”改创王兰亭太极五星椎，并混入通背、八卦、三皇炮捶等），李氏太极始自李瑞东（改王兰亭太极五星椎为太极五“行”捶，混入少林金刚八势、形意、八卦、八极等）
吴氏太极拳有1914年吴鉴泉与北京师兄弟创的拳架；有经吴鉴泉1914年至1928年不断修改的最终定型的拳架；有吴公仪在其父1928年定型前所学、所传的拳架（方架一）及吴公仪在的黄埔军校教的拳架（方架二），但以吴鉴泉1928年最后定型拳架为正宗。吴鉴泉1928年最后定型拳架直接源自原张三丰拳架即内传小架，是由内传小架的阴阳神妙变化而来，恩师马公曾为本人开示过其如何变化而来，奇妙异常！因吴鉴泉1928年最后定型拳架并不比小架大，甚至还小，故吴门不称吴鉴泉1928年最后定型拳架为大架，而称慢架，与杨氏称法不同。全佑还曾传白云观安长龄等外传大架，后称全佑老架或原始太极拳（有的白云观道人扩充了全佑老架）
另有姚馥香之十三势架及长拳（其师汤士林得自太白山道人的外传大架及源自通背的长拳），萧功卓氏太极（现称府内派，是萧氏在杨氏原外传架基础上混入形意、八卦、通背 、少林及武式太极而成）

颜紫元 ２００７年１１月２６日
中华民众在对待有才华之士的情形上，犹同中国政府，是 “精英淘汰制”，就是政府选官员的政策，就是为了淘汰精英，选拔平庸、专营奉承之辈而设制的。这种情形在上世纪五十年代以前的中国也存在，只不过是个别现象。五十年代后，便成为从中国政府，到民间的普遍情形。当年的反右运动，二百余万中国的各行业一流的栋梁精英，不仅被政府打倒，同时也被全体民众践踏。
文革十年，又有无以计数的残存的一流精英、二流、三流精英，被全社会、全民众摧毁、迫害，于是“精英淘汰制”形成了一种中国社会的传统，民众是忌恨有才华之士的，尤其容不得天才！
我曾为那些大师们叹息，仿佛我能感受到他们当时的一呼一吸，我也为那些默默承受的二流、三流的人才而惋惜，他们在无奈中挣扎着度过一生……。
我庆幸自己能够逃离那人生准则、价值观颠倒，群魔乱舞、冤鬼凄嚎、遍地毒素、癌瘤泛滥，仿佛世界末日渐临的世界。
那是一个极度疯狂、反人性、反自然、沉重剥削与无穷贪婪的世界。
庆幸啊！是的，我热爱我们民族的文化，那也属于整个人类的文化，我认识到，我虽身在海外，但要比身在国内，能为中国文化做更多的事，而且做得更好。同时也不影响本人对家庭的责任，与共享天伦之乐的时光。

“The untrue preface of Liu He Quan text” by Yan Zhi Yuan(Dr. Stephen Yan) 2009-12-08
Two days ago a martial friend Hu Gang from Canada called and asked about the status of the essay I started writing on “The untrue preface of Liu He Quan text”,enquiring if I have finished ? I replied that due to being occupied with training,work as well as my research work I have not had time to complete it.But I told him that when I was in Shan Xi Tai Gu I did obtain a copy of the Guang Xu period copy of the manual of Xin Yi Quan,and i did obtain another different copy in Ping Yao . In those two different two manuals , the preface was the earliest,the untrue preface of the manual came from Tai Gu branch of Xing Yi Quan.
The reason that I said so is because when Li luo Nen was learning Dai XYLHQ,the Dai Family XYLHQ and Guo Wei Han both were very conservative.In fact Li Luo Nen had never set eyes upon Dai’s family XYLHQ at all.His disciples at the prefecture of Tai Gu also did not know about Dai Shi XYLHQ.When Mai Zhuang Tu was invited to Qi county to teach martial arts to Fan family,Mai Zhuang Tu was also invited to the house of Li Luo Nen’s disciple’s house at Tai Gu.The martial skill of Mai Zhunag Tu did impressed the second generation of Xing YI Quan masters.The surpirise they have had was that it was the very first time they actually witnessed XYLHQ.And it differed from Xing I Quan significantly.This gave rise to their deep respect for Mai Zhuang Tu.Thereafter donation was made to build a small bridge at Lu Shan the hometown of Mai Zhuang Tu.It was called “He Hu Jiao”(Black Tiger Bridge).I visited the place and Mai Zhuang Tu's great grandson Mai Gui Sheng several occasions and have sighted the names of those who donated the money for the building of the bridge.It was carved on the stone at the location.including the names of Che Yi Zhai ,Song Shi Rong .
And Xing I Quan second generation became worried that other might thus question their lineage and purity .There they have found a few reasons to explain away the differences between their system and Mai Zhunag Tu’s.Hence pulled an unrelated Cao Ju Wu name in aid to falsely create the “preface” to the manual.Making Dai Long Bang,Ma Xue Li both were learning from Cao Ju Wu .There were lack of communivcation esp relating to lineage issue there seldom wish by the responsible to add words to the matter if possible ,the second generation Xing I masters only heard of the name of Dai Long Bang and Ma Xue Li.But no one knows that Dai Long Bang and his sons were the disciple of the grandson’s of Ma Xue Li ,Li Zhen,hence created the untruth stating that Ma Xue Li had asked Dai Long Bang to write the preface.And brought in Cao Ju Wu,creating further misleading writings on Ma Xue Li,Dai Long Bang as well as Cao Ju Wu's disciples hence placing Xing I as in the same league as XYLHQ.Because of the conservativeness of Dai’s family the writers did not even got the name of the Dai father and sons wrong.The writer of this essay who made this untrue preface was Li Yun Heng,both Che and Song clearly jioned to plane the story .
When I am free to write more I will detail more on this matter.At the same time I would like to point out that on the falsely written “Ji Ji Ke self preface” came from the same source.
