推手法
PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPLANATION OF THE PUSHING HANDS EXERCISE
如甲乙二人練習先作右琵琶式對手時無論甲乙右足在前均可其距離寬窄隨人得機得勢為標凖初搭手為接式甲為掤乙為按
Two people practice together, A [Tian Zhaolin (in black)] and B [Dong Yingjie], first making the “lute” posture on the right side. When their hands meet, it does not matter whose right foot starts forward. Their distance from each other will depend on their bodies, timing, and position. They first connect by crossing hands, then A does a ward off while B does a push. [See photo 1:]
[The text for the next three photos was copied from Chen Weiming’s 1925 Taiji manual. This is the main reason for the discrepancy between left and right, since the photos in Chen’s book are of the opposite hands.]
甲隨乙按時腰往囘坐縮以左手腕黏乙肘尖上處亦同時雙手往囘捋此謂之捋如推手第二圖
When A goes along with B’s push, he shrinks away his waist and sits back, using his left [right] wrist to stick on top of B’s elbow, at the same time rolling back with both hands. For the rollback, see photo 2:
乙被甲捋則身傾於左方似不得力而乙之右手隨甲捋之方向送去以左手掌補於右肘灣處向前擠去此謂之擠如三圖
B is being rolled back by A, causing his body to incline to the left [right] side so he cannot generate any power, but while B’s right [left] hand goes out along the direction of A’s rollback, he uses his left [right] palm to assist at the bend of his right [left] elbow and presses forward. For the press, see photo 3:
甲被乙擠似不得力即含胸以左手心黏乙左手背往左化去則乙擠不到身上矣甲之右手同時按乙肘處两手同時向前按去此之謂按如第四圖
A is being pressed by B, but B cannot generate any power because A hollows his chest and uses his left [right] palm to stick to the back of B’s left [right] hand and neutralize it to the left [right] so B’s press cannot get to him. A’s right [left] hand at the same time pushes on B’s [right] elbow and both hands push forward together. For the push, see photo 4:
