龍形學
龍形者，有降龍之勢，有伏龍登天之形，而又有搜骨之法。龍者真陰物也（龍本屬陽，在拳則屬陰），在腹內而謂心火下降。
丹書云：龍向火中出是也，又為云，雲從龍，在拳中而謂龍形。此形勢之勁，起於承漿之穴（即唇下陷坑之處，又名任脈起處），與虎形之氣輪回相接。二形一前一後，一升一降是也。其拳順則心火下降，其拳謬則身必被陰火焚燒矣。身體必無活潑之理，而心竅亦必不開矣。故學者，深心格緻，久則身體活潑之理，自然明矣。

"Within the dragon style there are the “descending dragon” posture and the “hiding dragon ascending to heaven” form; in it lies also the method to circulate through the bones. Dragon belongs in reality to Yin, (originally it belonged to Yang, but in the boxing it belongs to Yin). It is inside the abdomen and is said to bring down the heart’s fire. The Dan Shu says it can rise from within the fire, it can also become a cloud and clouds are the substance of the dragon . This is called the dragon in boxing.
In this style, the strength begins from the point Cheng Jiang. It connects with the Qiof the tiger style. For those two styles, one is forward and ascendant, the other is backward and descendant. The boxing with the mild Qi can promote the internal fire going down: if performed erroneously the Qi will cause the body to be burnt in the Yin Fire. In the later case, the body will be with stagnation of the circulation of vital energy and a loss of flexibility. Students can realize this point through profound study and practice."
