Does anyone know what the name means? Is it three gems sword, three beauties, or something else? I'm guessing "can" is fourth tone, but I'm not sure...

San Cai Jian means "Three Powers Sword" and refers to what Chinese philosophy considers the three most powerful forces - Heaven, Earth, and Man. San Cai Jian is the most basic and well-known sword sequence in Long Fist.

My father studied with Master Li in 60s. I remember learning this form when I was 12 years old.
