King Chao is also credited with developing Tai Tzu Chang Chuan .'The original style was a 32 move Long Fist form, but eventually grew to have as many as 100. Tai Tzu Chang Chuan is also said to be one of the early influences on the Chen style of Taji Quan, and an influence on Northern Mantis and Ngo Cho Keun as well. It is a powerful style with flowing movements, it's popularty rivales that of the Shaolin in the Ming dynasty and was standard military training during that time. As a student of Chen Po, Emperor Chao also created an internal version of the system based on Chen Po's teachings. During the Southern Sung dynasty, his descendants created another exercise with the same name, shorter and with more upper body emphasis than the original. As they are complementary, both are taught side by side today.'
They changed a word or two, but that is it.
