Taiji Swordplay (simplified: 太极剑, traditional: 太極劍, pinyin: Tàijí Jiàn, jyutping: taai3 gik6 gim3) was created by Zhang Sanfeng and consists of fifty-four forms. It emphasises the same principles as Taiji Fist—using softness to overcome hardness and circular movements to neutralise attacks. Yin Liting was renowned as the best swordsman among the Seven Xias. Notable forms include Three Rings Set Moon (三环套月), Great Dipper (大魁星), Swallow Skimming Water (燕子抄水), Wind Swaying Lotus (风摆荷叶), Phoenix Nods (凤点头), and Returning Sword to Origin (持剑归原).
