Often known as Yuexi Hung Kuen or Village Hung Kuen, Zhanjiang (Tsamgong) Hung Kuen, Maoming Hung Kuen and 10 Pattern Hung Kuen. In ancient times Guandong was departmentalised into Xia Si Fu (下四府, c. Ha Say Fu, Lower Four Districts/Prefectures) and Shang Liu Fu (上六 府 c. Lok Seong Fu, Upper Six districts/Prefectures). The upper districts consisted of Guangzhou (广州府), Huizhou (惠州府), Chaozhou (潮州府), Jiaying (嘉应州), Shaozhou (韶州府) and Zhaoqing (肇庆府). The lower districts or Xia Si Fu refer to Gaozhou (高州府), Leizhou (雷州府), Qinzhou (钦州府) and Qiongzhou (琼州府) . Those two (Gaozhou and Leizhou) refer to the modern areas of Zhanjiang (湛江) and Maoming (茂名). Today, Yuexi refers to the jurisdictions of Zhanjiang, Yangjiang, Maoming and Yunfu. Chinese Dialects spoken include variations of Cantonese, Leizhou dialect and Hakka dialect.
In the early times, two of Hong Xiguan's disciples Yang Fang (杨方) and Wu Yunpu (伍允普) brought Hong Quan to this area. Zhanjiang (湛江) which is situated on the south of Guangdong province, is one of the main branches of Hong Quan practice. Another Zhangjiang Hongquan practitioner was Zhou Tai, one of the 10 tigers of Guangdong was from in this area studying with Yang Fang (杨方) and his descendants of Hong Quan developed the style further. Wu Yunpu's disciple Lin Weilong (1870-1940) taught many the style across Maoming such as the three dragons from the Hay Say Fu (lower four prefectures) being Lin Weilong, Huang Qinglong and Wang Jinlong.
Here Yuexi Hong Quan is famous for the 10 animals, each having its own form, the style of Zhanjiang is also known for its mirrored approach, that is movements are conducted usually on both sides ensuring that the techniques mastered on all limbs and directions.
