Mark's note:The entire content has been lifted

Copied from Competition Routines for Four Styles Taijiquan,
translated by Xie Shoude, published by People's Sports Publishing
House.
This form is a merger of the traditional Number I and Number II
routines. Symmetry of the major moves are emphasized -- The Buddha's
Warrior Attendent Pounds Rice in a Mortar, Single Whip, Cover Hands
and Strike with Arm, and Firing in Rapid Succession are all done
on both sides. The routine is balanced, circular, and rhythmically
paced, with outwardly gentle and inwardly strong movements charcteristic
of the Chen style of tai chi.
