Monkey Steals Peach I can’t. I am still a high school student after all, and I can’t go anywhere during Chinese New Year because there have been some new cases of COVID in Shanghai. I would love to go sometime, however; Zhejiang is not far from Shanghai.
@@jadenng7569 I'm planning on focusing on Zhejiang now. I was planning on just doing these Pingyang Crane styles and one other style from Lishui and a couple of noteworthy interesting folk styles from central Zhejiang then skipping straight to the Yangtse delta / lakes region parts of northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu. But now I'm thinking I'll do a more in depth look at southern Zhejiang stuff as well. But I will get up to your area at some point. That area was actually pretty well known for martial arts during the Ming and Qing periods. That region was such a thriving commercial center that you had a lot of armed guards, commercial guilds which hired guards, local gangs, boat guards, naval bases, smugglers, piracy, and just as important in terms of understanding the surviving folk arts from the area is that it was major center of the performing arts. Anyways I'll go into more when I start posting some of the styles from there that I want to write about.
one form they did reminds me of the kata Chinto/Gankaku. oddly enough I also see some similar positions to the closing manji uke of the similarly named Pinan Godan.
The government in this locality seems interested in supporting the promotion of this art. Is that true? How true is that in other jurisdictions in China?
That's just a public street demonstration thing. I've seen people from other styles from other areas of China do the same thing. Sometimes they drink water from cups, sometimes they put like something tied up in a piece of cloth of the ground and pick it up in their mouth. I guess it's supposed to show strength and flexibility and control or something but it's basically an old convention from kungfu street performers.
I’ll also add if it wasn’t for your channel and our conversations, I’d have had no idea Zhejiang province has so much martial arts!
I also learned about this too from Tea Serpent's channel.
@@jadenng7569 you live in Shanghai right? It’s only a couple of hours train to Wenzhou or Taizhou. You could go visit some of these guys

How would you say the Xiaonan and Leidu styles differ from each other? They both seem fairly unique compared to other White Crane styles.

What’s he doing at 1.20? Drinking water off the floor, jumping up and spitting it out???
