Tai Sheng Men
This system is named after the monkey king, Sun Wu Kong, a mythological figure who features in the book Journey to the West. Developed by Kau Tze while he was serving a prison sentence for murder, legend has it that he observed a colony of chattering monkeys from his prison-cell window. He watched their fighting and playful tactics in the trees, incorporated their characteristics into his own knowledge of tei tong, and created tai sheng men. The five personality types of monkeys as observed by the creator still exist in the movements today, and are called: tall monkey, wooden monkey, lost money, stone monkey, and drunken monkey.
