I have a little book on LBK
I was one of my first kungfu books acquired in China. Found by pure luck, I just opened it and there was the first kungfu form I learned. You know, I should dig that one out again and see if the lyrics match.
Your BSL history concurs with what I heard. I guess it's still a big military set like Chung-i-chuan.
If memory serves, didn't Yang Jwingming cover this one in his shaolin book? It was also published somewhere else, in an old unique or ohara book.
Lyrics is my own terminology
Some people call them 'names' or 'poems' even 'songs.' The proper title in mandarin would be chengyu, but usually that refers specifically to 4 character sets. Lyrics just works the best for me.
Gald you like them. More to come. :)
Missing Lyric: Lin Bo Kin
I found a missing lyric. I have consulted several Northern Teachers/Masters and they also said it was not there, But that it is in the set when practised
