歌訣十三

此掌與人大不同，
手未動兮膀先攻。
未從前伸先後縮，
吸足再吐力獨豐。

"This palm is very different from others.
Before moving the hands, one attacks first with the bladder.
Before extending forward, one withdraws.
One absorbs plenty before emitting abundant power."

Based on the translations by 楊俊敏 Yang Jwing Ming and 梁守渝 Liang Shou You in 峨嵋八卦掌 "Baguazhang - Theory and Applications" and by Frank Allen and Tina Chunna Zhang in "The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang"
