The movements, foundational movements, choreographed movements (routines) are all composed of body part configuration and reconfigurations. These are basic building blocks of taijiquan. In this video, master Chen Zhonghua shows one exercise to illustrate this point. When you regard the kua crease line to the shoulder as one non-divisive block, movements are changed to suit it and therefore cause changes to our physical behavior.

Hold a rod not by grabing it with the whole palm, but split the span into two dots. One dot on the index finger underneath the rod acts as the pivot, and another one at the root of the palm placed above the rod acts as the balancing arm. We can tilt the rod the other end of the rod this way without lifting the rod itself.
This is what allows the power to go along the rod to the other end, and it is said to go over.

– Today we worked on Pole Shaking (Positive and Negative Circle).
-Pole shaking. Circles. Hand do not come back/reverse. At the beginning when done right, the move is small. Through training, we increase the range. The move overall is synthesized, but each part/move is individual. Arm has no up and down movement. (Arm is in and out). Do the circle horizontally, and the shoulder will get caught, which will be exercised. (tie a knot, then untie). Elbows come in, lock the upper body, bend the knees to go down, then hands go out. Add stepping to increase the range. Later on the moves will merge, and people see the circles. The overall effect is an illusion.
