Ba Bei (Ba Bui): Literally: 'pulling out of back.' This refers to the convex surface across the upper back that follows abdominal breathing and proper taiji posture with head elevated and shoulders lowered. This creates a Yang state that is the complement of the concave chest of Han Xiong (Haam Hung,) a Yin state. The Yin/Yang relationship creates potential energy that can be released in a taiji application.
