Qixing Tanglang

Came across a crazy thread on a Chinese Tanglang forum here.
http://www.wushu2008.cn/viewthread.php?tid=36712&extra=page%3D1&page=1
In the Wushu2008 Tanglang forum an anonymous poster said the Wang Chuan Yi lineage was the authentic inheritor (Zhang Men) for 7* Mantis.
They made two points. One, it was Wang Rong Sheng who actually called it Qixing Tanglang. Before him it was never called Qixing. Two, because of Wang Chuan Yi’s blood relation to Wang Rong Sheng (i.e. grandson), this by default makes his line the most authentic Zhang Men of Qixing Tanglang.
The person also posted an uploaded picture of the front cover of a Quan Pu stating it was the original hand written version passed on from Wang Rong Sheng. They were immediately questioned by the forum members on a number of inconsistencies. Later he said it was an edited version.
The thread also got a little sidetracked with a strange story. They said that Yang Wei Xin, Luo Guang Yu, and Wang Chuan Yi, during their stay in Shanghai collectively decided to divide Ba Zhou and Zhai Yao into 4 and 6 forms respecitvely for future ease of training. Meaning that previously there was only one Ba Zhou and one Zhai Yao.
It was a wierd and heated debate, with obvious jostling for the title of Qixing Zhang Men.:confused:
