Sunset Beauty Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan 56-Form Routine Chants (Printable PDF Download)

Sunset Beauty Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan is an advanced martial art formed as a supplement to and development of Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan. Building on the foundation of traditional Tai Chi routines, Sunset Beauty Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan blends movements from other martial arts (Long Fist, Southern Fist, saber, spear, sword, staff) as well as Peking opera and dance, and is choreographed into a set. Its features—movements that are both song and dance, alternating fast and slow, combining hardness and softness, and lively and novel—give Tai Chi enthusiasts a fresh impression.

The complete Sunset Beauty Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan set is divided into six sections with 56 movements. The first and sixth sections are Tai Chi, with a soft, continuous, and steady style. The second, third, fourth, and fifth sections combine the swift-motion-and-still-stance, clearly rhythmic characteristics of the Long Fist and Southern Fist schools, and further include the power-emission essence of Chen-style Tai Chi and Baji Quan.

This article specially compiles a text version of the chants for the 56-form routine as well as a directly printable PDF version, hoping that fellow Tai Chi enthusiasts who want to practice can conveniently output and print it for use (the layout is designed so that the font can be enlarged to the maximum on a single sheet of A4 paper).
