You have to stretch the body parts involved to make them a stick. Then you can rotate this stick. This is a crucial preparation for any further actions in Taiji movements. In free movements, one must rotate as action regardless of the body part's shape. This is rather difficult as we know that sticks are more conducive to rotation than other shapes.
In this video clip, Master Chen Zhonghua shows the basic stretching into a stick with some yilu movements as examples.
This video is in Mandarin. What Master Chen Zhonghua showed in this clip
is the Taiji concept of “Flow the the Curvature and Extend into the
Straight Line”. In this case the opponent’s action is on the hands
applied to the shoulder. So the shoulder moves along the same path as
the opponent’s move, while the Kua extends into (behind) the opponent’s
wait (center).
The original exercise is designed as a shoulder loosening drill.
