ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
余著太極拳術一書用楊澄甫先生攝影圖式缺者余為補之共五十圖閱者尚嫌圖少余去歲赴粤應中山大學之聘請有梁生勁予者欲余攝太極全圖凡轉動之處可攝者均攝出無遺共一百十八式較原圖增多六十八式今將此圖製成銅版付印附於書內閱者參觀附圖更為明瞭惟複式太多未能重印特編為詳細目錄連重複者共二百六十一式按目索圖亦不費力余新攝之圖與楊澄甫先生在杭州所攝之圖比較觀之姿式規矩尚未差異是可告于閱者
太極起式假定面向正南轉右則為正西轉左則為正東轉後則為正北或正或隅均以起式向南而推之此圖從首至終均照一定之方向閱者觀圖卽可知其向何方也
凡轉動之處雖未能停止然以便閱者明其轉動之方向形式故于轉動之處亦攝一圖或二圖雖不能如電影片之密合亦可以觀得其大槪凡轉動之處必須圓滿不可有凹凸稜角則得之矣
When I wrote The Art of Taiji Boxing [1925], I used photos of Yang Chengfu. Where there were postures unrepresented by these photos, I added photos of myself, resulting in fifty photos altogether [thirty-seven of Yang, thirteen of Chen], but readers felt that this amount was still not enough. Last year [1932], I was invited to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong by Liang Jinyu. He wanted to photograph me demonstrating the entire Taiji boxing set, every transitional movement, nothing left out. This resulted in a total of a hundred and eighteen photos, sixty-eight more than the original total.
I now present these photos, which are to be used alongside the text of the original book in order to provide readers of it with even greater understanding. Because many of the photos are reused, they have been specially arranged into a list showing the postures in their complete order. The continuous series of movements, including repetitions, amounts to two hundred sixty-one postures [meaning there are a hundred forty-three occasions in which photos from among the hundred eighteen are reused]. With the photos listed in this way, no extra effort is required on your part.
Comparing this new set of photos to the original ones taken of Yang Chengfu while in Hangzhou, they noticeably adhere to the same orientation: In the beginning posture, he and I are both facing to the south, and thus the west is to our right, east to our left, and the north is behind us. Whatever direction the subsequent postures move toward, they are all based on the initial posture facing south. From beginning to end, these photos stick to this pattern, and thus you can always know what direction the postures are facing.
When turning to a new direction, there is no actual pausing in the motion, but a photo or two has been added for such moments in order to make it clear which direction a posture has turned toward. Although this is not as detailed as a film reel would be, you will nevertheless get the general idea. When turning, the shift to the new direction also has to be complete, neither turning insufficiently nor too far, and then the proper orientations will be maintained.

談太極拳
A PLACE FOR TAIJI BOXING
陳微明
by Chen Weiming
[published in 鄞縣縣國術館一周紀念刊 Yin County [in Ningbo, Zhejiang] Martial Arts Institute’s 1st Anniversary Commemorative Publication, New Year’s Day, 1931]
黃黎洲先生言：內家始於張三豐祖師，後流傳於寧波，如張松溪葉繼美吳昆山周雲山單思南陳貞石孫繼槎，皆有名於世。其後又輾轉傳於山西河南直隸，代有聞人。寧波反寂焉無聞。近百年來，皆習外家者居多，內家殆失其傳矣。余創辦致柔拳社於滬上，提倡太極拳。五年以來，入社者不下千餘人，而寧波籍者居三分之一，蓋其堅忍耐苦之性，好俠尚武之風自古然也。寧波設立國術舘，已及一週，成績甚著。而漸注意於太極拳，必有後起之傑，超古人而上之者，於是內家拳術復歸之於寧波，斯可為寧波前途賀者，抑亦吾中國國術之光榮也。
Huang Lizhou [Zongxi] said that the internal school of martial arts began with Zhang Sanfeng and later spread through Ningbo, and that famous masters included Zhang Songxi, Ye Jimei, Wu Kunshan, Zhou Yunshan [Yunquan], Shan Sinan, Chen Zhenshi, and Sun Jicha. It was subsequently passed down through many hands, producing many famous masters in Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei, while ironically in Ningbo there were none. By a hundred years ago, everyone was practicing external styles, and the internal school had been almost lost.
I established the Achieving Softness Boxing Society in Shanghai to promote Taiji Boxing. Over the last five years, more than a thousand people have joined the school. A third of them are natives of Ningbo, all of whom are hardworking and perseverant, embodying the martial attitude of ancient days.
A Martial Arts Institute was established in Ningbo a year ago and has since seen great success. Its members have gradually been focusing more attention on Taiji Boxing, and hence this new generation of heroes will surely surpass those of the past. And now that the internal school of boxing arts has thereby returned to Ningbo, not only does this bode well for the future of Ningbo, it also brings glory to our nation’s martial arts.

祭李芳宸將軍文
A EULOGY FOR GENERAL LI FANGCHEN [JINGLIN]
陳微明
by Chen Weiming
[published in 國術聲 Martial Arts Voices, Vol. 3, Issue #5, July 20, 1935]
將軍劍法，深藏莫窺，余知之早，聞完縣師，將軍蒞滬，一見稱奇，沉雄精悍，名將丰姿，開社設筵，歡迎進巵，一人傳十，觀者闐逵。將軍蒞止，慷慨陳詞，拔劍起舞，風掣電馳，光射牛斗，氣貫虹霓，莫不色變，震心目迷，夫人嬌女，曼鬋娥眉，觥觥衞士，如熊如羆，日課擊劍，騰騰淋漓。授余劍法，靑眼相垂，余演太極，紆徐委蛇，將軍贊嘆，斯進道基，悉令從學，為講矩規，以拳易劍，余樂可知，將軍謂余：吾師異人，穎川陳姓，名諱世鈞，三盤劍法，變化如神，吾得其二，天盤未純，師誡吾言，謹佩諸紳，功名事業，劍以為因，吾每臨陣，劍法是遵，縱橫盪决，掃千人軍，飛光過影，摧枯剉薪，猜忌之帥，讒諛是親，遂棄兵柄，走隱海濱，逍遙在野，求道安貧，提倡國技，獎勵殷懃。豪傑歸仰，劍士如雲，嗚呼民國！廿載毒亂，攘攘兵戈，羣生塗炭，敲骨吸血，仰屋悲歎，標曰民生，民命益賤，養兵之費，何祗億萬？强隣相逼，不堪一戰，義軍孤鬭，宛轉戰線，四顧中原，誰赴國難？將軍壯年，肥遯無悶，何時奮起，一雪仇恨，金剛之體，卒為病困，騎箕而逝，天道甯論，忽聞哀耗，碎余方寸，遺言何哀！生者不愧，心黑眼赤，駓駓逐利，靑天白日，橫行鬼魅，嗚呼民國！民將無類，痛思將軍，匪惟私誼。
The General’s sword skill was so subtle it was hard to comprehend.
I knew of him early on, hearing about the master from Wan County.
When he came to Shanghai, with but a glance it was clear he was a remarkable man.
Heroic and vigorous, he was a great soldier and yet had a graceful bearing.
A banquet was arranged to welcome him with wine.
One person told ten others, who each told ten more, and so on, and soon spectators filled the street.
When the general arrived at the banquet, he was greeted with tremendous warmth.
He drew his sword and began to dance, moving as fast as lightning.
Flashes of light seemed to shoot down constellations, energy coursing through and arcing like a rainbow.
Every move a transformation, he startled the mind and confused the eye.
One moment he was like a graceful delicate maiden,
the next a bear-like bodyguard.
He practiced his sword fighting every day until steam rose from him and sweat fell.
He taught me his sword art, favoring me with his good graces.
I demonstrated my Taiji set for him, moving leisurely and carefree.
He sighed in approval: “You express the fundamentals of the art.”
I followed his guidance and learned much from him about standards and patterns.
“Drawing upon the boxing set makes it easier to learn the sword.” – a tip that has given me great delight.
The General told me: “My teacher was an unusual man.
He was Chen Shijun of Yingchuan.
With his ‘three realms’ sword method, he transformed magically.
I obtained only the first two levels – the ‘human realm’ and ‘ground realm’ – but never rose to the ‘sky realm’.
My teacher warned me to treat all gentlemen with sincere respect,
and yet my rank and position came to me due to the sword.
Whenever I went into battle, it was the sword art that led me through it.
Within the fray, I swept aside countless soldiers.
The sword flashed in a blur, scything away men like dead wood.
Enemy commanders envied and flattered,
then threw down their arms and ran away to hide.
Now ever since I’ve been free of war, I’ve sought the Way and the simple life.”
He promoted our martial arts with great encouragement.
Esteemed as a hero, this swordsman was more like a spirit.
Woe to the Republic that he is gone from it. He went through twenty years of chaos,
the turmoil of battles, the suffering of the people,
the breaking of bones and spilling of blood, and looking to the sky in lament.
The people could not make a living, for even their lives had become too cheap.
Armies then could not be maintained, sources of money drying up.
With powerful nations crowding in, the will to fight subsided.
Volunteer armies had to battle alone, the front line changing all the time.
Looking in all directions, it was hard to find anyone who would face up to the national crisis.
In the prime of his life, the General lived like a recluse, free of cares,
but when the time came to rise to action, he could make vengeance against the merest snowflake.
He had the body of an arhat, and yet he was pulled down by sickness.
Alas, to pass away is the way of things.
I was struck with sorrow when I heard the news, heartbroken.
On his deathbed, he had said: “I don’t deserve to live anyway”.
With black heart and red eyes, he had galloped after gain.
Under the blue sky and white sun, he now walks among ghosts.
Woe to the Republic. There will be none like him again.
I’ll miss you, General. You were more than a mere friend.
