The Chen-style taijiquan old frame was created by Chen Changxing, the 14th successor of the Chen family. Its ancient characteristics are retained completely, so it is also called kung fu frame or big frame.
The routine II of old frame is also called cannon hammer, and it has special characteristics compared with the Routine I. The second routine is accurately and closely arranged, with complicated movements and considerable difficulty. The speed as well as the degrees of force that the ending parts of the movements show is different. The movements of taiji use pulling-down, bending backward, elbow-stroking and body-stroking as the main themes and four-direction-hand method as the subsidiary one.
