Yang Jianhou's Large Frame is a beautiful example of both tradition and innovation. The set consist of 98 movements with some movements being repeated to bring the total up to 108. The form's specialty lies in the addition of movements within the original movements such as the addition of 24 hidden elbow strikes into the movements of "Jade Maiden Weaving Cloth," or the addition of 7 additional strikes into the execution of "single whip." Yang Jianhou's version of "Peng Lu Ji An" is also fascinating due to its Peng or warding motion containing a Lu or pulling motion and vice-versa. Clearly Jianhou managed to, in his own way, refine and deepened his father's ideas on the use of Yin and Yang in combat.
 
This form is the latest addition to the Fang Mountain arsenal. It was transmitted to only a few students during the imperial period as Jianhou taught relatively few students. To my knowledge only Master Jin Xiwu managed to preserve this form through the social turmoil of China's Maoist era. Today, his disciple master Jin Huaizhe is the third generation successor of the style and the foremost authority on it.
