'''Chen Qingping''' or '''Ch'en Ch'ing-p'ing''' (1795–1868) was a 15th generation descendant and 7th generation master of the [[Chen-style tai chi|Chen family tai chi]], which he learned from [[Chen Youben]], and the 7th generation successor of the [[Zhaobao tai chi|Zhaobao]] style of [[tai chi]], which he learned from [[Zhang Yan (martial artist)|Zhang Yan]]. He was an influential martial artist and teacher of tai chi. 
 
Chen Qingping was married to a woman from the [[Zhaobao village]], only a few miles north east of the Chen Village (Chenjiagou) — the home of the Chen Family famous for their martial arts.
 
Chen Qingping's main disciple He Zhaoyuan passed on this art which later developed into [[He-style tai chi]]. Other disciples, such as Li Zuozhi (created Tengnuojia), and Li Jingyan (created the [[Hulei-style tai chi]]), created their own styles by combining their arts with other martial arts popular in the local area where they lived.

Chen Qingping also taught [[Wu Yuxiang]], who later developed the [[Wu (Hao)-style tai chi]], sometimes referred to as the "Scholar-style of tai chi". Wu Yuxiang went to Chen Village to learn from [[Yang Luchan]]'s master, [[Chen Changxing]], who recommended him to Chen Qingping.
