Thanks to KWUsCRD and the magic of Ebay, I purchase a charming little book titled "Zi Mu Lian Huan Quan" by Zhang Xiang San (Bio on Mantiscave) .
This small size book of 88 pages contains one of the work of this famous Liuhe Tanglang master who lived in Taiwan after WWII. Interestingly, he didn't call this Tanglang at all despite there are terminologies that are specific to Tanglang.
There are couple of very interesting concepts in this "form" which was a creation of Zhang Xiang San possibly around 1968.
First the idea of Zi Mu (children and mother)
there are 4 fist strikes as the mother(s):
Bai Quan: Swing step punch
Gua Quan: Hang and punch
Quan Quan: Roundhouse punch
Pi Quan: Splitting puch
then from each punch there are 4 following movements as the children. That's a total of 20 moves.
Because of the simplistic yet sophisticated approach, Zhang wrote, it is quite suitable for training the troops. He figures 3 months time is enough to complete the training for this form. If there are 20 troops in a file, they can each teach 20 others in another 3 months. In other words, 420 people will know this form by 6 months time. The whole army can complete this in a year. If this is first taught to civilians, that they could enter the army as received basic training in Kung Fu. This is quite a noble idea. It is very interesting to see the rationale behind one of Zhang's works.
If there is an interest in the techniques involved, I would be delighted to further the review.
