Could fujian white crane sifu help?

Could Fujian White Crane Sifu help on the name of the technique shown in This Fang Chi Niang statue ?

Hi Hendrick,
I hope this uploads okay. Here is a picture from Ruan Dongs book of Fujian Crane. 'Paizhi', (fingers in a row), or 'flat palm' is a basic hand form in Calling Crane.
It's not exactly identical (little finger) , but having visited the statue a few times in Yongchung I think it possible that the sculptor be allowed some artistic license in order to make a strong cast....
Best wishes.

Thanks!

I have heard, this technic is Zhao Yang , a unque signature of The Fujian White Crane, that is why is shows up in this statue

IMO FWIW- the picture of the two hands look a lot like a wing chun bai jong or even asking hand posture.
I noticed also that the white crane statute's body is fairly square bodied.

Why dont you ask Ron he s a Granmaster of Fujian White Crane Kung Fu .

[Minghequan]

Firehawk, Mate I'm a "Master" of nothing and certainly not a "Grandmaster" ... please don't refer to me in such terms.

I am a "Seeker" of little knowledge, talent and skill.

[Firehawk4]

I seen your website i thought for along time you where a Master of White Crane Kung Fu thats all .

[Minghequan]

Ha the web site is old (marketing)and overdue for a revamp. No I'm just a seeker!

Those hand positions also look like the Fung Sao hand position techniques in Iron Ox Southern Mantis .
