'Lie method: According to the explanation of dalu four-corner tuishou in Yang Chengfu's Complete Book of the Essence and Applications of Taijiquan, lie is introduced as follows: "....grasping the left wrist of B is cai. If the right hand does not move, then this is a 'compressing' (qie, jie, lit, to 'cut off'). When transformed, it conveniently becomes lie. Lie, then, is to push away B's left elbow, and to use the palm to strike slantingly toward the base of B's neck." This explanation is assuming A rolling back to the left, and B performing shoulder stroke. A uses his left hand to pull down (cai) B's left wrist. At the same time, he uses the right forearm (ulna side, near the wrist) to stick to B's upper arm (slightly above the elbow joint), rolling back to the left. If "the right hand does not move", then he uses the ulna to "compress" B's left elbow joint. If he "transforms in advantage to lie", then the right hand "pushes away B's left elbow", and with the thumb side of the back of the right hand "strikes slantingly toward the base of B's neck." Because of this, the movements of lie are comparatively less evident. Lie is only present in the intent, or during the transformation. In this way, when using the back of the hand in a strike, this is "lie". Besides this, there are two additional ways of talking about lie. One way is to use the word shan (a "lighting strike") to describe the lie palm; another is, after A has rolled back, he follows through by sinking his right elbow, leading to the right to neutralize the kao energy of B. This is called lie.'
