Fair enough. It's not like there's a lot of material on this. ;)

... but its fairy-tale nature looks pretty familiar. Just change the names of the sages and the poetic-sounding moves, and we have a lot of martial arts history. This is one of those times where I just tell myself to shut up and practice. Who knows what the history is?
I think there's a lot of fairy tale in what passes for history in Chinese martial arts. There may be some truth as well, but it's buried or distorted almost beyond recognition.

The history of the article is questionable it is taking what is real history and combining it with speculation, for example, "founders of Taoism" since no one else really know I doubt he does either.

One of the problems with Chinese marital arts history is that at some point in just about every art someone decided to link it to someone famous or mythical to gain legitimacy and then it went on from there.
