Common camera framing
Description: The receiving partner lies back with the knees raised while the penetrating partner works above, alternating shallow and deep strokes on a counted rhythm. The classical text treats the counted alternation, not the arrangement, as what defines the way.
Variations: The stroke pattern is the variable: shallow sets interrupted by a single deep one, or an even alternation. The body shape stays close to a standard supine union throughout.
On camera: Indistinguishable in a still frame from an ordinary missionary, so it only registers across a sustained take where the rhythm is visible.
AI design considerations: A standard two-figure supine stack. Nothing in the geometry is unusual, so any distinguishing detail has to come from the caption rather than the pose.

Image to video (Thrust (shallow))
short-range reciprocating motion along the body axis, small amplitude, hips leading, camera is locked on a tripod and does not move.
Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.
Identifiers in other vocabularies
How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.
missionary is the tag for the whole supine face-to-face family and is exact for the catalog's own missionary entry, which this record matches in any still frame. The one feature it discards is temporal: the counted alternation of shallow and deep strokes that the record treats as the definition of the way, and no still-image tag can carry a stroke count.
Dragon TurnscloseSu Nü Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl)Attested source name. First of the Nine Ways: the receiving partner face up and raising the pelvis beneath the partner lying over them, with slow strokes counted eight shallow to two deep. The record raises the knees rather than the pelvis and admits other counts, such as an even alternation, where the text fixes eight to two.
