In the square form we were taught an anti-clockwise circle of the hand from "yin yang fish" (right side) performed after striking with the right hand and during the forming of the crane's beak. If the op grabs your right hand with his left or right, you coil around his wrist while forming the beak. This releases the grip and (because as the relaese takes place, postions you with the "upper Hand"), allows you to strike to the face.

Also why is Sun looking at his right hand in photos of the posture where Yang Cheng Fu looks at his left hand.
