Note: This posture connects with the third posture "Lazy Pulling of the Clothes" through "Golden Jade Firmness," but the connecting action is different. This posture does not require hands to circulate in a small circle around the abdomen to connect, but rather requires Qi to adhere to the back, arms to first slightly open, then interlock. This connects with the previous punch, while simultaneously demonstrating the intention to open before closing. When closing, the intention must be to first slightly open before closing. This demonstrates the intention to open before closing. When opening and closing, attention must be paid to the root of the hand to avoid the defect of concave and convex.
