For example, you can drag your opponent's arm and "spring" one of his leg. That throw will be categoried as 彈(Tan) Spring. This is just like the Taiji "push" is not a throw. But you can add "push" along with your leg movement such as hook, scoop, trap, cut, ... This is why a Taiji guy's "push" can only push his opponent away, and cannot throw his opponent down becuase he did not control his opponent's legs.
