I don't know, but there are articles at the following websites on the topic. Mike Patterson and Tim Cartmell both talk about the style on their sites.

The animal forms of the Shanxi system are more complicated, and they are longer than the Hebei forms. For example, the snake form of Shanxi has more than 15 different movements, while the Hebei snake form has no more than 6.
