Changxing is the master who taught Yang Luchan.This form was taught to Chen Zhonghua by Hong Junsheng. Hong learned it from Chen Fake (Chen Changxing’s great grand-son) from 1930 to 1944. Then in 1956, Hong spent another four months with Chen Fake refining this form. Every single move in this form was corrected by Chen Fake numerous times. Hong practiced this form all his life. It was his foundation form and he required that all his students start with this form.Chen Zhonghua learned this form from Hong Junsheng in 1979. It took him till 1983 to finish learning it. He practiced this form daily from 1985 to 1991. After 1991, he received corrections on it from Hong once each year till 1994.Characteristics    This form is likened to that of Chinese calligraphy. Every move must be straight forward.    Spiral energy that is present throughout the form makes the form look continuous    The moves must “Flow like a river”.    The movement is relaxed and yet powerful.Requirements    This form is performed with even and slow motion.    The body must always be kept upright with the head to huiyin line suspended as the axis at all times.    Movements must be wide and open so that all possible flaws are exposed and corrected.    Movement must start from the dantian, not from the hand. Inside must lead the outside.http://www.chenzhonghua.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=363:chen-style-taijiquan-practical-method-yilu&catid=88:routine-names&Itemid=97Instructionals that are related:
