前俯後仰,
其式不勁,
左側右欹,
皆身之病,
正而似斜,
斜而似正。

薑容樵

"Leaning the body backward and forward,
The form does not have energy,
Leaning to the left side or the right side,
In any case the body is incorrect,
It is erect, yet it seems inclined,
It is inclined yet it seems erect."

From the book Xing Yi Mother Fists (形意母拳), by Jiāng Róngqiáo (薑容樵), based on the translation by Joseph Crandall
