固有分明法
蓋人降生之初，目能視，耳能聽，鼻能聞，口能食。顏色，聲音，香臭，五味，皆天然知覺，固有之良。其手舞足蹈，於四肢之能，皆天然運動之良，思及此，是人孰無？
因人性近習遠，失迷固有。要想還我固有，非乃武無以尋運動之根由:非乃又無以得知覺之本原，是乃運動而知覺也。
夫運而知，動而覺，不運不覺，不動不知，運極則為動，覺盛則為知。動知者易，運覺者難。先求自已知覺運動，得之於身，自能知人，要先求知人，恐失於自己。不可不知此理也，夫而後懂勁然也。

"At birth, the eyes can see, the ears can hear, the nose can smell, the mouth can eat. The colors, sounds, fragrances, odors and five flavors are all natural, intrinsic to one’s nature. Waving hands and dancing feet are within the capabilities of the fours limbs; these are also intrinsic to one’s movement abilities. When one considers using these abilities, how come one does not have it?
The cause for this is that through learning one distances himself from our original attributes, losing the ways of his nature. If one wishes to return to the natural ways, it is not enough to follow martial physical exercises to seek the original movements, as it is not enough to use learning to return to the source of consciousness. What is needed is movement combined with consciousness.
Movement and consciousness, utilisation and perception. Do not apply it unconsciously, do not move without awareness, using the extremes generates the movement, perception of the full generates awareness. Movement with awareness is easy, application with perception is difficult. One must first seek consciousness in one’s own movements, in order to obtain understanding of the body. After self-awareness one is able to understand the opponent. If one is anxious and try to learn the other firs, it is oneself that will be lost. One should not ignore this logic, this is how Understanding Jin is correctly obtained."
