Finally someone by the name of Alex Golstein translated the Chen Taiji classic 陈氏太极拳图说 by Chen Xin (陈鑫）.  This book is quoted in almost all Chen Style TaijiQuan books. It was a delight finding this book in the bookstore.However this book is written in classical Chinese with no punctuation marks. It is not easy to understand if even if you know Chinese. The topics that he covered are YingYang Theory, silk reeling theory, meridian theory and notes on the various postures. 

Now with the English translation, non Chinese readers may attempt to gain some insight into what he wrote.
