Untitled[edit]

I've always heard "Grasp the Bird's Tail" as "Grasp the Swallow's Tail" is this just a difference in the linages of teachers, or was the origional post done from an automatic translation of Chinese words (bablefish/google)? If it is an automatic translation, we probably want to exchange "Swallow" for "Bird" if it was a translation by someone who knew some T'ai Chi, they probably know more than I do as I'm quite a beginner. 26 October 2005 22:17 UTC

The original translation is the one the current Yang family teachers at www.yangfamilytaichi.com are using. The "bird" character in Chinese whose tail we are grasping is 雀 which is a general name of small birds, as sparrows, chickadees, etc., so many schools simply translate the name as "Grasp Bird's Tail." --Fire Star 23:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Q: How many T'ai Ch'i masters does it take to change a light bulb?

A: 101: One to change the light bulb, and 100 to say "In our school, we change it a little differently" --RussNelson 18:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have Bolded, Italiced, Bigged, and Sectionalized the clustered forms. --User:Anonymous 07:04, 10 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.232.128.205 (talk) [reply]

Without explanation these manipulations do not make sense. Actually it looks messy, unorganised, ugly. Rather revert to a plain form. --VanBuren (talk) 18:08, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The bot has a parsing problem. The link was right; the bot insisted on including the double curly bracket as part of the link. I've removed the trailing slash in the link to make it explicit, but leaving it still as a valid link. Bruno talk 13:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
