十三字用功訣
逢手遇掤莫如盤，粘沾不離得招難。
閉掤要上採列法，二把得實急無援。
按定四正隅方變，觸手即佔先上先。
捋擠二法趁機使，肘靠攻在腳跟前。
遇機得勢進退走，三前七星顧盼間。
周身實力意中定，聽探順化神氣關。
見實不上得攻手，何日功夫是體全。
操練不按體中用，修到終期藝難精。

"When encountering the opponent’s Peng (Ward-off) do not enter the territory. When this happens, to attach and adhere without separating is really difficult.
To shut off Peng, one must use Cai (Pluck) and Lie (Split). When these two techniques have become real, the opponent will be urgent to rescue.
An (Push) can be used to firm the four sides, consequently the corners have different variations. Once attaching with the opponent’s hands, immediately occupy the most advantageous position first.
Lu (rollback) and Ji (Press) should be used when the opportunities allow. When Zhou (Elbow) and Kao (Bump) are used to attack, the heels are ahead first.
When there is an opportunity and an advantageous position, advance forward and retreat backwards. Gu (Beware of the Left) and Pan (Look to the Right) are used within one third and two thirds rear of attention.
The solid power of the entire body depends on the Intention and Ding (Central Equilibrium). The skills of Ting (Listen) and probe (the opponent’s intention) follow and with neutralize are all related to the spirit and Qi.
When seeing the opponent’s firmness, I do not attack, but gain my offensive situation. The day that Gongfu can be accomplished is when the entire body acts as a complete unit.
If training without following the applications of the body, even if cultivating until the end, the art is still hard to refine."
