Quanjing jieyao 拳經捷要 is a chapter of Qi Jiguang's 戚繼光 (1528-1588) military treatise Jixiao xinshu 紀效新書, but is often dealt with as a book of its own, for instance, with the title Qi Jiguang quanfa sanshi'er shi 戚繼光拳法三十二式 "Thirty-two methods of fist-fighting". Most of these methods have been adapted by Taijiquan practitioners, and traces of them can be seen in many of the Taijiquan routines in existence today.
Tang Hao 唐豪 wrote a commentary on it, published in 1936 by the Guoshuguan 國術館 in Shanghai.
