arm is counter-clockwise curving down backward, then
rising higher up to the shoulder level and like the bird
spreading its wings, stretches both arms with opened palms
seemingly being ready to catch the globe. Stand straightly

the rear arm is simultaneously slanting over the front hand,
at this point, you’ve just twisted waist to face the East-North
and you’re standing on bent rear knee (which is now the (8)
right one), with opened front foot (is now the left) and (9)
you’re stretching up both arms with opened palms like the
bird spreading its wings, seemingly being ready to catch the
globe as described in the above No. [1-a, b] (Fig.7-10).
