An excellent introduction that isn't stingy on the details or mechanics. Andrea Falk's comments help to provide context. They also add a playful layer to this thorough book. There are a couple of videos of Di Guoyong on youtube doing the Five Elements as well as a subtitled video where he demonstrates the 12 animals. Together they testify to the man's skill and the beauty of this art.
