左股在前,
右股後撐,
似直不直,
似弓不弓,
雖有直曲,
每見雞形。
薑容樵

"The left leg is in front.
The right leg supports in the rear.
They look straight without being straight.
They look like a bow without being a bow.
Although they are both straight and curved,
Each has the appearance of a chicken’s leg."

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