歌訣十四

此掌與人大不同,
前手後手力相通。
欲使梢兮先動根,
招招如是不得松。


"This palm is very different from others.
The power (Li) of the front palm and the rear palm are connected.
If one wishes to use the tip of the branch, one must move the roots.
This applies to every move, thus it should not be neglected."

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"
