Every Tai Chi has an opening movement, raise hands. That is not what I asked about. Generally across the form, where and how is pengjin expressed in the Sun (Jianyun) Tai chi form? I thought you studied Sun Tai chi, you should know.
Bao wrote: for Tai Chi, peng has a Tai Chi specific meaning.
Jargon is a type of language that is used in a particular context and may not be well understood outside that context. The context is usually a particular occupation (that is, a certain trade, profession, or academic field), but any ingroup; or social group to which a person psychologically identifies as being a member, can have jargon. The main trait that distinguishes jargon from the rest of a language is special vocabulary—including some words specific to it, and often different senses or meanings of words, that outgroups would tend to take in another sense; —therefore misunderstanding that communication attempt. Jargon is thus "the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group"
