Wrestling Ru (入) and a way to counter.
I usually don't do this one because it is not easy to control the landing, especially when the student is a good 30lbs heavier.
For the counter, it is basically another Ru, making using of the opponent's energy, flip around and do it to him first. Since the student is only beginning to learn the move, his energy flow is not continuous, making it difficult to bounce off his energy, so the counter turns into a variation here.
Judo has a similar, if not the same, move called the oogoshi or the uki goshi or all the goshi (goshi means hip), they are basically the variations of the same thing.

A quick comparison between the Six Harmony and the Plum Blossom here.
The first action is from the Six Harmony Fanning Hand, and as seen here, the flow of the action is stopped when the opponent gives up resisting. In this case he only suffers one serious blow, but as soon as he begins to resist again, the flow continues.
The second action is taken from the Plum Blossom Avalanche Rush, and we alter the move set to start from the inside. Here, the action is directed to hit a lot of spot by slipping into gaps. It is easier to flow from there, but the blows aren't as "heavy" or resistance stopping as the Six Harmony.
Instead of thinking of them as two branches of the Mantis style, it is better to thinking of them as different ways of using force and directing momentum, both yours and the opponent's. The Six Harmony is about crushing into the opponent, while the Plum Blossom is (mainly) about hitting hard and fast. We utilize both in an alternating fashion.
