Recently, traditional family activities have obtained various levels of recovery and development. During the development of Taiji, family culture has enriched its technique and theory. Meanwhile, the difference of family characteristics has become one of the critical reasons for the appearing of numbers of Taji styles. Besides, the wax and wane of families influences the development of Taiji. As one of the mainstream, He Style Taijiquan has become more and more popular because of its unique technique and plentiful ideology. Owing to the important role that He Style Taiji Family acts as in the development of He Style Taijiquan, it is meaningful for the research of Taijiquan development to use He Style Tai Ji Family as a sample.This paper bases on the vision of family, applies documentary approach, survey approach and logical analysis approach, then makes a deep research on the He Style Tai Ji Family. It also analyses cultural tradition of He Style Tai Ji Family by multiple dimensions and makes systematic collection of He Style Taijiquan. First, this paper investigates the origin of Zhaobao He Family, sorts out the He Style Family from He Zhaoyuan who is the founder of He Style Taijiquan and concludes that because He Style Taijiquan has been passed down within He Family, it makes He Family become a Tai Ji Family out of thousands of families. Second, based on family spirit, family knowledge, family cultivation, family tree and ancestral temple, this paper induces family spirit of He Style Taiji which is harmony, benevolence, filial piety, modesty and melting true goal into diligent work. This paper also sums up the He Style Taiji family knowledge which is composed by Quan, theory and medicine. As for the family cultivation, this paper concludes that He family cultivation includes teaching by personal example and words instruction, combining punishment with leniency, unifying knowledge and practice and teaching in accordance with students’ aptitude. Then this paper holds that the form of family culture can be embodied by the compilation of pedigree and establishment of ancestral temple. Third, this paper analyses the influence of family culture and draws a conclusion that He Style Taiji family culture prompts the formulation of commandments of He Style Taijiquan, that He Style Taiji family knowledge has made rich connotations of He Style Taijiquan and formed its characteristic of melting theory into Quan and improving Quan by medicine, and that by introducing family cultivation into Quan, the teaching form of He Style Taijiquan becomes more scientific. Fourth, I inspect the fusion between village and family and analyses the geography and humanistic environment.

The village culture has profound influence on the technique and theory style of He Style Taijiquan. The openness and multi-culture of Zhaobao village has enriched the content of He Style Taijiquan. Simultaneously, the acceptance of village culture by Zhaobao village has relatively influenced the development of He Style Taijiquan. Finally, this paper discusses the development of He Style Taijiquan under the influence of family. At the beginning of dissemination, He Style Taijiquan absorbs He Family knowledge. The occurrence of master-apprentice relationship, which is a fictional blood relationship, consummates the Taijiquan teaching method, enriches the contents of He Style Taijiquan and largely improves the development of He Style Taijiquan. The soaring development of current society affects the wax and wane of families. The variance of society also impacts on the influence of family on He Style Taijiquan. With the recovery of family awareness, during the future development of He Style Taijiquan, the strength of family is undoubtedly tremendous. We need to dialectically see the closeness of family and limitation of family succession, properly apply the "family" idea to impact the He Style Taijiquan practitioner and uses the aggregation of "making family and Taijiquan together" and the strength of He Style Taijiquan development to improve further development of He Style Taijiquan.
