Mengcun is the birthplace of Kaimen Bajiquan - an excellent traditional quanshu in the North of China. In its three hundred years of development, Bajiquan is famous in Wushu Circle for its characteristics of shock attack, shoulder closing to shoulder, launching strength closely; it is an unusual Chinese art of spirit and culture.

In 5th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1727 A.D.), a youth named Wu Zhong in Mengcun Town who likes Wushu very much once met a southern Wushu master called "Lai". "Lai" regarded Wu Zhong as a honest boy, so he took him as an apprentice and taught him quanshu, and then left years later. In 10th years of Yongzheng (1732 A.D.), another man called "Pi" came to Mengcun to look for Wu Zhong, saying he was ordered by his master to visit, taught Wu Zhong "Liuhe Daqiang" and send him to "Open Sesame of Quanxie". Nothing can be known about them except for their names. In 40th year of Qianlong (1775 A.D.), Wu Zhong began to teach Bajiquan to his daughter Wu Rong, his grandson of the same family Wu Zhongyu, and his great grandson of the same family. Since then, Bajiquan started to be known to others.
