Tai Chi, Baguazhang and the Golden Elixir

In "The Immortal & the Angry Baby," Scott Park Phillips delves into the seldom-explored theatrical and religious origins of Tai Chi and Baguazhang, revealing fascinating historical connections. The narrative intertwines the life of General Qi Jiguang, who, near death, is healed by Sage Lin Zhao’en through an extraordinary martial exorcism, and the legendary Nezha, a pivotal figure in Chinese mythology. This meticulously researched work seeks to clarify misunderstood histories and illuminate the roots of Chinese internal martial arts, shedding light on the darker narratives that have been obscured for over a century.
