Academic Sources?[edit]

I've search "yāo zhǎn" "waist chop*" and "waist cut*" in the following databases (10/17/20) and they have all yielded zero articles. Searching in Google, this wikipedia entry is among the few results that actually come up. GoogleScholar has similarly few results. It would also be helpful to clarify citation one, "American Association for Chinese Studies (1998). American Journal of Chinese Studies. American Association for Chinese Studies." There are 2 issues (no.1 and no.2) of that journal in 1998, totally 272 pages. To be a proper citation, it should indicate author and article title, as well as page number.
