Chen Qingping or Ch'en Ch'ing-p'ing (1795–1868) was a 15th generation descendant and 7th generation master of the Chen family tai chi, which he learned from Chen Youben, and the 7th generation successor of the Zhaobao style of tai chi, which he learned from Zhang Yan. He was an influential martial artist and teacher of tai chi.

Chen Qingping was married to a woman from the Zhaobao village, only a few miles north east of the Chen Village (Chenjiagou) — the home of the Chen Family famous for their martial arts.

Chen Qingping's main disciple He Zhaoyuan passed on this art which later developed into He-style tai chi. Other disciples, such as Li Zuozhi (created Tengnuojia), and Li Jingyan (created the Hulei-style tai chi), created their own styles by combining their arts with other martial arts popular in the local area where they lived.
