Hi Jerry,

Yes, these are nice pictures. Thanks for posting them.

Do you know what "fan1 lan2 chui2" in the sixth picture means? Is this an optional rendering or a misprint for "ban1 lan2 chui2," which appears in the caption for the seventh picture? Also, do you know how to interpret "ding4 xing2" in the caption for Cloud Hands?

Take care,
Audi

Fan is a misprint for ban, as you might guess. Ding xing means something like 'defining position', 'characteristic position'. Often it means the endpoint but here that doesn't quite fit.

It's interesting to compare these early photos of Yang Chengfu from Chen Weiming's book.

VERY interesting.
I find his head positioning to be very different from the younger to the older.
Look at how his neck and chin are in relation to each other from younger to older in these photos.
