Both are Yang ChengFu? Why is the younger picture better quality than the older picture which is newer? Or are they different people? In punch down the picture on the left had a horizontal fist and on the right a vertical fist. I know it is a moment in time and maybe they caught a transition.... Also looks like either chop with fist or part and punch the one on the left has open right hand and the one on right is closed fist. Again could be in transition. The one on the right looks like the pictures of Yang Cheng Fu that we have all seen before.
Never seen those pictures of the young Yang! Cheers.
Best series on old taichi
Good Work

Left is young YCF and right is middle aged YCF. He modified the form a bit as time went by. Both sets of photos are legit.
I wonder if the "younger pictures^ are photoshoppef from the older ones. seems to be the same body with different clothes and a younger face.
They are not.
The younger pictures feature in Chen weiming’s open hand form manual - there is a full set of them.
1700?
