@DavidPostill From the wording of the entry I get the impression that these are the names in Mandarin, not Cantonese while the question explicitly asks for a name in Cantonese if there is one. I cannot speak to the appropriateness of that assessment though.– Philip KlöckingOct 16, 2022 at 16:45

Are you looking for a Romanisation or for the traditional Chinese symbols? If I recall correctly mandarin is usually written in simplified Chinese while Cantonese is usually written in traditional Chinese. That said any symbol in traditional Chinese will have both a Mandarin and Cantonese reading.– Huw EvansOct 17, 2022 at 11:19

The 108 forms of the Wu family style of T'ai chi ch'uan are listed at 108-form Wu family tai chi chuan - Wikipedia.
For each unique form name there is a literal translation, the Hong Kong school's translation and then the Shanghai school's translation in italics where they differ, followed by the original Chinese characters.
Example:
- Begin T'ai Chi Form - The Beginning of T'ai Chi - The Preparation Form 太極起式
