Drop left foot back the rear obliquely an angle 45 degree towards the (5 (6) (7) (8) (9)
West. Fold the right knee. Twist waist 45 degree towards the West,
left foot also turning to follow, at the same time, right hand lowers
down and glides upper the left hand which is raising for transition to
the Climbing Mountain Stance, this time, right palm facing down
beside right hip and left forearm parallel to the ground whose palm
facing right chest seemingly you’re reading something on left palm. (9) (10) (11) (12) (13)

obliquely to the Northwest; while the right arm raising, the left arm
also leaves the left hip to raise up with its palm evidently orientating to

knee is folding and the rear leg is stretching. (14) (15) (15)

front leg), at the same time, move the left forearm close the armpit,
both forearm still parallel to the ground and raising up obliquely to the

face each other, (or press left wrist against the right one) then move

stretch the rear leg. Pull back them towards the chest, then push
forward them to the front at the North side, next split them so that

both arms parallel to each other and palms parallel to the ground,
then pull back arms towards the waist to enter the “push” stance.
