Zhang Shanjian is the representative inheritor of the "Hong Quan" provincial-level intangible cultural heritage project in Hebei Province. Hong Quan has a history of more than 650 years.

Practitioners of Hong Quan first learn "Quan De" (the moral principles of martial arts), then learn "Quan Ji" (the techniques of martial arts). Beginners should practice qigong early in the morning, stand in a stance in the evening, and practice martial arts at noon. The practice emphasizes that "qi is the head of blood, blood is the commander of qi, lead blood with qi, and let qi and blood flow together". "Gui Gong Qiang" emphasizes hand, eye, body, technique, and footwork. The hand, eye, and footwork must be coordinated according to the situation on the battlefield, whether to advance or retreat, with quick eyes and hands, and skillful strength to break through a thousand pounds. On the battlefield, if the enemy does not move, I do not move. If the enemy moves, I move first. Observe the enemy carefully, see through the truth and falsehood, and plan your own attack and defense strategies.
