Dong Haichuan (13 October 1797 or 1813 — 25 October 1882) is regarded as a skillful martial artist and is widely credited to be the founder of Baguazhang. Most if not all existing schools of Baguazhang place Dong Haichuan at the beginning of their lineage. Traditional teachers in China do not regard Dong as the founder though but merely as the first identified transmitter of Baguazhang knowledge to the wider public.
