Chen Style Xinjia Erlu Paochui (71 Form)

Commencing Posture

起势

also written 预备式 · 起式

• Stand with the feet together and the breath sunk; lift the left leg and open half a step to the left, slightly wider than the shoulders, the toe turned out a little, the foot gripping the ground.并脚直立、气沉丹田 → 提左腿向左横开半步（略比肩宽、脚尖微外摆、五指抓地）
• Raise both arms, then sink the elbows, loosen the shoulders, bend the knees and press the palms down. Torso upright, chest relaxed, waist settled; the shift agrees with the ward-off, hips tucked and the crotch travelling a downward arc. Do not clamp the elbows.两臂缓缓上升 → 沉肘松肩、屈膝按掌；立身中正、含胸塌腰；转体移重心与双臂前掤协调一致；塌腰悬裆、裆走下弧，切勿夹肘

Buddha's Warrior Attendant Pounds the Mortar

金刚捣碓

• Ward off with a stroke, stroke level with the foot brushing out, lift the palm in an empty stance, then raise the fist and knee and stamp as the fist drops.掤捋 → 擦脚平推 → 虚步撩掌 → 举拳提膝、震脚砸拳
• This differs from the same movement in the Laojia Erlu: the new frame adds a small open-and-close of 转腕缠绕 at the entry. Sink the hips and drop the body before stamping, elbow and knee meeting as the knee lifts, all three arriving together; the force comes back up from the ground through the chain to the fist.与老架二路同式有别——新架在起手处多了"转腕缠绕"的小开合动作；震脚先沉胯坠身、提膝时肘膝相合，"提而砸下、三点同时到位"，劲由地反传、节节贯串至拳面

Lazily Tying the Robe

懒扎衣

also written 揽扎衣

• Part the palms and draw arcs, brush the foot out and close the arms, then settle into a horse stance with the palm upright.分掌划弧 → 擦脚合臂 → 马步立掌
• Ward-off, lead, shoulder strike and pluck each stay distinct; the knee lifts with elbow and knee meeting, the brushing step and the closing arms arrive together, the push reaching the heel of the palm.掤、引、靠、挒四劲分明；提膝时肘膝相合；擦脚（贴地铲出）与合臂同步，力达掌根、沉肩坠肘、裆劲开圆

Six Sealing and Four Closing

六封四闭

also written 六封似闭

• Turn the body and follow with the hands, stroke down and press with the arms kept round, then press both palms down in an empty stance.转体跟手 → 下捋掤挤 → 虚步双按
• The stroke arcs and the press keeps the arms rounded; the press-down arrives before the abdomen at the heels of the palms. The name refers to sealing and closing the gates.捋走弧线、挤撑圆合；双按至腹前、力达掌根；"六封四闭"取封护门户之意

Single Whip

单鞭

• Turn and push, then draw in; raise the hook, lift the knee and brush the foot out, settle into a horse stance and push the palm.转体推收 → 提勾 → 提膝擦脚 → 马步立掌
• Hook hanging and fingers gathered without gripping; the step brushes the floor and the weight sinks; the palm is driven from the abdomen along the inner arm to the centre.勾手腕垂、指拢不用死力；擦步贴地、重心下沉；立掌劲由丹田发、沿臂内侧达掌心

Parry, Block and Punch

搬拦捶

also written 搬拦肘

• Turn the waist and carry the fist, step up and block with the palm, then punch from a horse or bow stance.转腰搬拳 → 上步拦掌 → 马步（或弓步）冲捶
• The new frame fires this faster and crisper than the old: parry, block and punch run as one, and the punch is a short burst to the face of the fist with the other hand guarding the centre.新架二路的"搬拦"发得比老架更急脆——搬、拦、捶一气呵成；冲捶短促爆发、力达拳面，另手护中

Protect-the-Heart Fist

护心拳

also written 护心捶

• Turn and draw the fists in, guarding the centre of the chest with both fists.转体收拳、双拳（掌）护于胸前中门

Oblique Step and Twisted Step

斜行拗步

also written 拗步斜行

• Circle the arms in a horse stance, lift the knee and cut the palm, turn and raise the hook, then push from a horse stance.马步绕臂 → 提膝斩掌 → 转身提勾 → 马步立掌
• Travel on the diagonal with the waist carrying upper and lower; the knee-lift cut is clean, the hook leads, and the crotch travels a downward arc.斜向出行、以腰带动上下相合；提膝斩掌干脆利落；勾手领劲、裆走下弧

Press Elbow at the Waist

煞腰压肘拳

also written 煞腰压肘

• Sink the waist and sit into the hips, press down with the elbow and punch.塌腰坐胯、以肘下压并发拳
• “煞腰” means settling the waist and sitting solid; the pressing elbow and the punch land together, the sinking waist driving force through elbow and fist as one short whole."煞腰"即塌腰坐稳，压肘与发拳同时；以腰沉劲贯于肘、拳，短促整劲

Enter Straight Through the Well Curb

井栏直入

• Enter straight in with fist or palm, as if passing straight through a well curb.直进（拳、掌直入）如"井栏直入"
• Step and strike arrive together with the axis upright; the entry is decisive, shoulders sunk and elbows dropped. The character is 栏 — the circulating 井揽 is a miswriting.步到拳到、中轴不歪；进身干脆、沉肩坠肘；用字为"栏"，流传的"井揽"为讹写

Wind Sweeps the Plum Blossoms

风扫梅花

• Turn the body and sweep across horizontally, like wind sweeping plum blossoms.转体横扫（如风扫梅花）

Draping Body Fist

披身捶

also written 庇身捶

• Fold the arm in and wind, then twist the waist and strike with the draped body.折叠缠臂 → 拧腰披（靠）击
• The strike is the whole back and shoulder, not a local bump; the torso inclines but the axis stays intact.靠劲由背、肩整体发出，非局部撞击；披身时上体侧倾而中轴不散

Deflect Body Punch

撇身捶

• Turn and swing the fist across, then push the palm from a bow stance.转身撇拳（拳背横撇）→ 弓步推掌

Cutting Hand

斩手

also written 斩手炮

Turning Flowers, Waving Sleeves

Sink the hips and drop before stamping, wind to store, then punch short and crisp to the face of the fist, the other hand guarding chest and flank — a loose elastic snap, never braced strength.全套最核心的发力式，其后另出五次；先震脚（沉胯坠身）、旋臂蓄劲，再弓步发拳；出拳短促脆快、力达拳面，另手护于胸腰侧；松活弹抖，忌僵力硬顶

Flying Step, Waist-Blocking Elbow

飞步腰拦肘

also written 飞步拗鸾肘 · 飞步腰拦捶

• Enter on a flying step, then block with the elbow at the waist.飞步（跃步）进身 → 腰拦肘击
• The flying step is the point of the movement: the leap stays light and the landing roots. The blocking elbow is carried by the waist with force at the point of the elbow, the step and the elbow arriving together."飞步"是本式要点——跃步轻灵、落地生根；拦肘以腰带肘、力达肘尖，飞步与拦肘同时
