| | Spear |
 | | With the slightest of movements, Chen Zheng Lei is able to cause the end of a thick waxwood spear to shake wildly- a feat impossible to duplicate without extensive previous training in fa jing. |
 | | Chen Zheng Lei divides the techniques of the form into two categories: straight-line techniques of the Pear Flower spear, utilizing the head of the weapon to pierce or cut: and angular movements of the White Ape Staff, employing the shaft of the weapon to block, deflect, and strike. |
 | | In general, the techniques of the spear are designed to counter an armed enemy: short range techniques are suitable against short weapons, such as the sword, stick, or knife, and long range techniques are practical for longer weapons, such as spear, staff, or halberd. |
