Nice. Clear, concise explanation without a lot of quasi-mystical layers. Another reason to tuck the chin is to reduce the chances of taking a hard shot to the chin which is often times a knock out blow due to angular acceleration.
As in your other videos: you can explain very well, it is understandable what is important, thank you very much. I find your understanding of Baji and its structure really profound and outstanding.
The way i understand it. The chin is tucked slightly so that there is proper structure and alignment from head to spine to waist to feet. The structure along with the slightly arc-ed back enables incoming force to be redirected from body to the ground. Therefore, there is no extraneous effort in being stable and grounded.
The part you couldn't catch is shu ling ding jing. feeling the top of your head suspended or effortlessly press up the head top. the slight tucking in of the chin accomplishes the same thing really.
You can start with a shorter time, one or two minutes and then gradually work your way up. It’s more important to get all the alignments and principles right, than to stand for a long time. Also you can practice on both sides, it’s recommended.
"Feet standing on the clear spring" is somewhat confusing... Big toe slightly points inward, then knees slightly points outward, and hips are clasped inwards. I can't even start to understand how to do those things. When my big toe points inward and i force my knees to point outwards, it creates this weird opposing force that makes it hard to even do this. Is that the point?
It's spiral dynamic. If you happen to know a physio therapist near you, you can ask him to show you. It's the physiological way to stand, creating a spiral force from the ground to your hips. Without this foundation, there will be no correct practice, that's why a good teacher corrects it intensely in the beginning.
This lesson should be viral as a complete concise basic guide. Very good!

Falls Interesse besteht, ich (Schüler von dem Lehrer im Video) unterrichte den Stil in München.
Internal aspects are very well articulated in this video. Well done

How long should the stance be held for? And do you repeat it on the other side?

问问，含胸是说绷紧腹肌么？
不是，意思是让胸骨沉下去。
