Master Chen used two sticks to form a 90 degree corner and a triangle shape. In the body the lines of the triangle is in different dimension. (it is also formed sequentially?) The triangle needs to be locked in shape then you will be able to put the opponent into the corner. Like the snow plow, the cart goes forward and the snow is blown out to the side.
