Revolution
Taijiquan
公转 gōngzhuàn is achieved through the coordinated Rotation# of different segments of the body. The revolution of the hand is performed in the Positive and Negative Circles#. The analogy is to the Earth revolving around the Sun: It rotates once every day and revolves once every year.
The two directions of revolution of the hand are called 正旋 zhèng xuán and 反旋 fǎn xuàn.
