Anyone got the lyrics to this form? I thought I did, but apparently not. I just learned this form so I'm trying to research the lyrics.

I've never had anything official, but I've seen a few different sources. Most of the names are physically descriptive, not poetic. Here are the poetic ones:
*Hold the Moon In the Arms
*White Cloud Over the Head
*Erecting an Arm (or Elbow), Shrinking the Body
*Lion Opens It's Mouth
*Great Roc Spreads Its Wings or Shut the Door
*Right Hand Clears the Head, Left Hand Clears the Head, Seven Star Punch
*Scopion Kick or Scopion Swings Its Tail
*Right and Left Ring the Bell
*Hungry Tiger Pounces on Food or Drag the Sea For Sand
*Luohan Strikes the Mortar
*Hurt Whole Stomach
*Protect the Ear
*Hero Sits Atop the Mountain or Hero Pose or Wu Song Strikes (Rides) the Tiger
All the other movements are pretty boring like splitting palm in gong bu or turn the body crushing palm, clap the foot, outside crescent kick, etc. I didn't post the full form because of these movements, no poetry so I don't think that I have "traditional" names for them. The movements posted above are in order as I have them. I count 63 movements in the form. (I use the counting method in the Taguo manual for simplicity.)

Xiao TONG BEI! NOT hong chuan. Oh well. I'll leave that up anyway. I haven't learned Xiao Tong Bei yet, sorry. In fact it's my next form.:rolleyes: :p :confused:

I hadn't had the chance to look them up in the baike yet. I haven't even cracked that one yet to find out since I'm looking for English translations. I hate translating and was really hoping someone else had a ready made one. So if you feel like chipping on it, that would be great.
:D

That doesn't seem to map on to what I have. Maybe it's the da lohan? I have the xiao. Maybe I'm not interpreting it correctly.

above is from the shaolinsi wushu baike quanshu, vol.2, p.155-172 -- Shaolin Xiao Tongbei Quan.. could it be a different form?

Seems different to me. And I've exchanged with students who've trained with Shi Xinghao and Liang Yiquan's school. both of those versions were similar to mine.
