Formosa and Khari and all,
We at RTCCC have been influenced by several teachers from the Chen Pan Ling lineage over the past 25 years. One was a student of a student of CPL's. One was a student of CPL's directly and charged with translating CPL's Textbook into English (1998) from the 1962 Chinese edition. The recent influence came from CPL's son Chen Yun Ching, the heir to all that CPL learned from his venerable teachers. Master Chen used what I would call a mix of frames. He would alternate between low and high postures and use large movements and small. I think this was in the original spirit of using elements of the different styles from which the Form was created.
All the things that you both have mentioned should be part of our practice, as they are all important. Master Chen was especially concerned about the basics being paid attention to i.e. stances, hip and knee positions; Focus of power at the end of the posture i.e. waist,hands,fingers.
I too hope there will be more discussion on CPL's legacy as there will be a resurgence of his arts coming our way through his son and all the schools that teach Chen Pan Ling's arts. Have fun exploring.
Brian
