does it show the 12 animals, and 5 fist or just talks about them.

This book shows a few pictures of each element and each animal..... It is not however a teaching or How-To book.... It is just Sun Lu Tangs treatise on Hsing I.

Even so, it is a great reference.... It is like hearing Miles Davis talk about Jazz..... Great words to hear.

Dre,
Andrea Falk sells translations of a Xing Yi book through her web site

The book is The Skill of Xingyiquan by Li Tianji, I haven't read it but there are excerts from it on her web site. I bought her bagua book translation which was very good. Good luck
