More about 降龍十八掌 - 神龍擺尾 (Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms 10th stance: Divine Dragon Swishes its Tail)

Divine Dragon Swishes its Tail (神龍擺尾, Shén lóng bǎi wěi): The form comes from the Zhèn trigram 九四, ‘to tread on’ which is part of the Book of Changes. The master who created the ‘Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms’ actually named the stance “Treading on the Tiger’s Tail”. It was a more powerful description compared to ‘Attacking the Tiger from Behind’ because if one steps on the tiger’s tail, it will no doubt turn around and attack furiously. However, the later generation felt that this description in the Book of Changes was too soft and not pleasing to the tongue. Thus, they changed it to the ‘Divine Dragon Swings Its Tail’.
