Important Points

1. When the two palms are wiping in semi-circular orbits, the arms must assume arc shapes. The elbows sink slightly. The wiping orbits should be even. When the right arm stretches out after its wiping orbit, it must not extend straight.

2. After the two palms close and overlap, they still must follow the motion of the left leg standing up, and gently move up and out; only then will there be an appearance of light agility and sunken stability. If the two crossed palms do not move when the left leg stands up, this can produce a dull and wooden appearance. When closing in the embrace, the two palms and wrists must not be slackened and curved.

3. The separating of the two hands must be unified with the separating of the right foot. Furthermore, the two arms must not extend straight but must bend slightly at the elbows, allowing the arms to curve slightly in front of the body. The elbows must also sink slightly—lower than the wrists—and the wrists must be seated.

4. The body should be stable when the foot separates, with no bending forward or back or inclining. The shoulders should not become tense in order to maintain the body’s equilibrium; you must still loosen the shoulders. Only when there is the “light intangible energy at the crown of the head” and the “qi sinks to the dantian” can you maintain the body’s balance.
