Volume 1 is dedicated to Black using the Screen Horse Defence against Red's Central cannon.
In Boards 1 and 2, Red uses the riverbank cannon and quickly aims at Black's left (Red's right) elephant.

Like the Secret in the Tangerine, the kills are spectacular.
Although by contemporary standards, some of the moves by Red are questionable for Red (and especially stressed so in the Anti-Plum Flower Manual), it is nevertheless a must-read as this ancient manual would demonstrate the evolution of the biggest Xiangqi opening system today.
Enjoy!
