Hello Coach,

here are today’s short reflections. The most striking is the naming of the movements/postures/stances. They are both quite literal and often poetic. From your pictures they are quite clear and understandable and really great for remembering/understanding what to do.

荷叶承露 (Hé Yè Chéng Lù): Lotus Leaf Catching Dew or perhaps Lotus Leaf Holding Morning Dew. Overhead movement of hands like cups.

平沙落雁 (Píng Shā Luò Yàn): could possibly be translated to Wild Geese Descend to riverbank (or sandbank) or Wild Geese Land on Open Shore. Arms stretched like wings landing on a sand bank or shore. Such beautiful imagery!

My main learnings today regard my feet positions where I am quite often off. For example for this posture: 临崖勒马 where my legs are more like ”horse stance”, less  heavy on the back leg, and feet less open. I’ll pay more attention to this. Overall, I can tell I don’t have the general feeling for when weight is on rear or front leg, and therefore for the expected knee bends. I have so much to work on!

Thank you for today’s (when I started writing) and yesterday’s (when I finished writing this note) lecture.

Kindly, Veronica (and my apologies for being late with the notes)

晓舟教练您好，

以下是今天的简短学习感悟。最引人注目的是动作/姿势/ stance 的命名——既直白又充满诗意。从您的图片中看，这些动作清晰易懂，非常有助于记忆和理解动作要领。

荷叶承露（Hé Yè Chéng Lù）：可译为“荷叶承露”或“荷叶捧朝露”。双手举过头顶的动作如捧杯状。

平沙落雁（Píng Shā Luò Yàn）：或可译为“野雁落平沙”或“雁栖开阔岸”。双臂伸展如翅膀落于沙洲或岸边，画面感太美了！ 

今天主要发现自己在步位上常出错。例如“临崖勒马”这个姿势，我的双腿更像“马步”，后腿发力不够，双脚打开角度也不足。我会多注意这点。整体而言，我感觉自己对重心在前腿还是后腿的把握不够，因此对膝盖弯曲程度的控制也不理想，需要改进的地方太多了！ 

感谢您今天（写这段时）和昨天（完成笔记时）的授课。

祝好，

Veronica（抱歉笔记提交晚了）
