陈式太极拳发源于河南省温县陈家沟。明末清初陈氏第九世陈王廷在祖传拳械的基础上，吸收其他拳派的精华，并融入中国的古典哲学思想、传统医学原理、创编了太极五套拳、五套捶、十三势、炮捶，以及枪、刀、剑、棍、锏、鞭等套路。同时为了实践功法，陈王廷又创造了独特的双人推手和双人粘枪，自此陈式太极拳形成了完善的流派体系。
         陈式太极在350多年的演变发展过程中，又派生出了杨、吴、武、孙等各式太极拳，而陈式太极拳体系本身也有了“大架”和“小架”的区分，其中“小架”是最为传统的一种练习方法。陈氏十六世陈鑫编著的《陈氏太极拳图说》，被誉为武林圣典，其中的拳谱皆为“小架”。 陈式太极拳“小架”具有刚柔相济、螺旋缠绕、快慢相间的风格特点，一路柔多刚少，二路刚多柔少，而且因其完整的理论体系和严格有序的训练方法，被陈家沟人誉为“功夫架”、“看家拳”。
         陈式小架由于仅在家族内传授，且师承严格，至今鲜为人知。如今的小架传人也开始向外界传授，但由于起步较晚，普及范围仍然有限。当代陈式小架的代表人物有：十八世陈克忠、陈鸿烈，十九世陈立清、陈立宪，二十世陈沛林、陈沛山、陈沛菊、陈永福等。随着小架传人的积极推广，陈式小架在全国各地及海外生根开花广为传播，以其独有的魅力受到越来越多的太极拳爱好者的推崇和喜爱。
    Chen style Taijiquan originated from Chenjiagou in Wenxian in Henan province. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and on the basis of fist handed down from his ancestors ,Chenwangting, the ninth Chen style ,absorbed the best feature of other Fist school and blended into Chinese classical philosophic thinking and traditional medicine principle, then he created five sets of Taijiquan, five sets of beating, thirteen postures, gun beating, and gun, knife, sword, stick, mace and whip. At the time, in order to practice skills, Chen Wangting created unique push hand and stick gun with two people. Since then, Chen style Taijiquan formed a perfect school and system. 
       During the developing process for over 350 years, all kinds of Taijiquan were derived from chen style Taijiquan,  such as Yang, Wu, Wu, Sun, Zhaobao and so on, while Chen style Taichi is divided into “big frame” and “small frame”. Among which the “small frame” is the most traditional one. The “drawing of Chen style Taijiquan” written by Chenxin was honored as canon of wulin , among which the fist list is ‘small frame’.The features of chen style Taijiquan “small frame”are tempered toughness with gentleness, spiral-wound, alternated with quickness and slowness. On one way the gentleness is more than toughness and the other way toughness is more than gentleness. Because of the entire theory systems and strict and order training method, it was considered as “Kung fu frame” and “housekeeping fist” by people of chenjiagou. 
       Because Chen style small frame is only passed down to its own families and is very strict.  So there is few people know it. Now the descendant of small frame is begun to impart to outside world, however, it started late and scope is limited. The Representative Men of Chen style small frame in present age are:  18th generation Chen Kezhong and Chen Honglie, 19th generation Chen Liqing and Chen Lixian, 20th generation Chen Peilin, Chen Peishan,Chen Peiju and Chen Yongfu and so on. As the actively popularizing of Chen style small frame, tool root and blossomed all around the country. Because of its unique charming, it is highly thought of and loved by more and more Taijiquan lovers.
