Translator’s Disclaimer

None of the material in this note is meant to be official. The translator tries to remain as objective as possible, and when appropriate, attempts to provide some information to bridge the inevitable cultural gap between Chinese and English speakers. However, some personal interpretation is unavoidable. Furthermore, the names of these movements have been passed down for twenty generations over four centuries, sometimes through generations of illiteracy. Understandably, some of them have morphed from the original. The translator would like to urge the readers to use the information presented in this note with some flexibility and not to insist on scholarly precision with any concepts or words. Such insistence can be a common occurrence among Tai Ji practitioners, which can be counter productive as it often leads to time consuming endless debates, which can take away time from personal practice! J

In addition, this translation does not represent Master Feng or Master Zhang’s opinion or teaching in any official capacity.

 

Foot Note

  1. The marking after the phonetic pronunciation (according to the Pin Yin system) is the tonal inflection of the vowel(s), i.e. the symbol ‘-‘ is for high pitch but constant tone, ‘/’ is for rising (in pitch) tone, ‘~’ is for dropping then rising, ‘\’ is for dropping.

  2. wu/ ji/, “Nothingness, Extreme”, Ultimate Nothingness, a concept proposed by scholars of yi\ jing-, or I-Ching, “Change, Scripture”, the Book of Change, that refers to the Absence of Substance, Action, or in this context, absence of Movements and Wandering Thoughts.

  3. The Chinese character for the number “10” resembles a crucifix or a cross. In the context of the “Cross Kick”, it is meant to describe the shape formed by the kicking leg against the body.

  4. Note that the grouping of movements into sections has been done by Master Zhang as an attempt to divide the rather long form into manageable chunks and has not been approved by Master Feng.
