洪均生先生（1907－1996），晚号八八老人，河南禹县人，陈式太极拳第十七代宗师陈发科先生入室弟子，从学十五载（1930－1944），朝夕相随，深得真传。后困于家计，寓济南谋生，虽离师而居，然谨记师训，研练拳技精益求精；默识揣摩，每有所得。
1956年春，洪均生先生自济再度赴京，从师进一步探求陈式太极拳技法，蒙师从推手到散手一一指点，反复试验每一招法，精微巧妙，尽得要旨。
洪均生先生常说：“陈式太极拳没有一个动作是空的，都是有用的。”确非虚语。他常与各拳种来济交流访艺者交手验证太极拳技法，体会陈式太极拳“理精法密”之真义。
洪均生先生征得陈发科先生允许，将他所讲解的各种招法融汇于原来所学套路中，期冀为学者开辟一条走向掌握太极拳技法微妙的捷径，从1956年后以此套拳法传于济南学生。通过实践，效果卓然。是以逐渐扩展到南北各地，日本、美国、东南亚友人亦陆续来学。如“日本太极拳协会”主任指导中野春美女士、副主任高谷宽先生，以及石岛清光、曾我忠弘、森田育利、安东尼、古贺荣子等皆多次登门求学，并回国后广泛传播。日本武林尊称洪均生先生为“太极巨星”，成立了“洪均生太极拳研究会”，专门研究他所传授的拳理拳法。
洪均生先生颖悟过人，博览强记，工书法，通音律，善诗词，文武兼优，以深渊的学识和武学修养，用历史唯物主义观点方法研究陈式太极拳理法。他结合生产劳动习惯动作，就近取譬，使学者易于领悟；又常现身说法，亲于学者试验，使学者如步入一座取之不竭的宝库之中，越学越明，越学越深，越学越爱，有欲罢不能之感。确是一位难得的明师。
说到他写书，确实不易。第一稿未半，正逢1961年自然灾害，他患了偏瘫之疾，生活极其艰难，几乎无法支持。幸受著名学者刘子衡先生支持鼓励，才决心克服困难，勉力续写。后虽病愈，然三次易稿都是在多年居住的几平方米一间阴暗潮湿的棚屋里趴在床上完成的。直到1988年方才定稿，名曰《陈式太极拳实用拳法》。

Mr. Hong Junsheng (1907-1996), an old man with the evening number of 88, was born in Yuxian County, Henan Province. He was a disciple of Chen Fake, the 17th generation master of Chen style Taijiquan. He has been studying for 15 years (1930 – 1944), and has followed him day and night. After being trapped at home, he lived in Jinan to make a living. Although he left his teacher and lived there, he kept in mind his teacher’s instructions and pursued excellence in his martial arts skills; Meditation and contemplation, every gain.

In the spring of 1956, Mr. Hong Junsheng went to Beijing again on his own to further explore the Chen style Tai Chi techniques under his mentor. From pushing the hand to Sanshou, he provided guidance one by one, repeatedly testing each move, subtly and cleverly, achieving the essence.

Mr. Hong Junsheng often said, “Chen style Tai Chi does not have any empty movements, they are all useful.” It is not an empty language. He often interacts with various martial arts experts to verify the techniques of Tai Chi, and experiences the true meaning of Chen style Tai Chi’s “theory, essence, and method”.

Mr. Hong Junsheng obtained the permission of Mr. Chen Fake to integrate the various moves he explained into the original learned routines, hoping to open up a shortcut for scholars to master the subtle techniques of Tai Chi. Since 1956, this set of boxing techniques has been passed on to students in Jinan. Through practice, the results have been remarkable. It gradually expanded to various regions in the north and south, and friends from Japan, the United States, and Southeast Asia also came to study. For example, under the guidance of the director of the “Japanese Taijiquan Association”, Mr. Nakano Haruki, Deputy Director Takayama Kobayashi, as well as Shijima Kiyoshi, Tadao Tsang, Yuri Morita, Anthony, and Rongko Koga, they have all made multiple visits to study and have been widely spread after returning to China. The Japanese martial arts world reveres Mr. Hong Junsheng as a “Tai Chi superstar” and has established the “Hong Junsheng Tai Chi Research Association”, which specializes in studying the boxing principles and techniques taught by him.

Mr. Hong Junsheng has outstanding insight, strong memorization through exhibitions, excellent calligraphy, sound communication, good poetry, excellent civil and martial arts. He studies the theory and method of Chen style Taijiquan with profound knowledge and martial arts cultivation and historical materialism perspective. He combines the habits and actions of production and labor, taking examples from nearby places, making it easy for scholars to understand; It is often said that by personally experimenting with scholars, scholars are like stepping into an inexhaustible treasure trove. The more they learn, the clearer they become, the deeper they become. The more they learn, the more they love them, and they feel an irresistible desire to stop. He is indeed a rare master.

Speaking of writing books, it’s really not easy. In the middle of the first draft, which coincided with a natural disaster in 1961, he suffered from hemiplegia and his life was extremely difficult, almost impossible to support. Thanks to the support and encouragement of renowned scholar Liu Ziheng, I was determined to overcome difficulties and strive to continue writing. Although he recovered from his illness, all three changes were made by lying on the bed in a dark and damp shed that he had lived in for many years. It was not until 1988 that the final draft was finalized, titled “Chen Style Tai Chi Practical Fist Techniques”.
