A semi-mythical Chinese Taoist priest and legendary culture hero, credited by modern practitioners as having originated the concepts of Neijia 內家, soft / internal martial arts, specifically Taijiquan/Tai Chi Chuan 太極拳 (source: Wikipedia) [Var.]張三豐 Due to the fact that 丰 is the same as the simplified character of 豐, some might mistaken 張三丰 is a simplified name, and miswritten 張三豐 as the traditional.
