Re: Recording of Yang Zhenduo calling out form

Could Yang Jun be willing to make an English version?

The 49 Form--how long ago invented

I notice that the 49 form is now on the Yang Family website. Is this a new form? I was only aware of the 103 and the short form. How long has it been practiced?
