Xing Yi Chun Yang Jian (形意纯阳剑 – Xing Yi Pure Yang Sword)

This is what Sun Juan Yun told me about Chun Yang Jian: The form was created by Guo Yun Shen based on the sword teachings of Li Luo Neng. Li Chun Yang is an alias for Li Luo Neng so the name of the set is a honorific reference to Guo Yun Shens teacher. Chun Yang also has a well known meaning in daoist alchemy.
