I found the following image in a Google image search for Chinese shields. I'd attribute the page, but it seems to have been taken down and this image is in Google's cache. Note the size of the shields. I wonder what connection this might have to stances like Big Dipper in Tai Chi Sword. A shield like this would certainly encourage you to stand with your shield foot forward, and in many of the Tai Chi Sword moves, your sword arm side's leg is in back...
