粘黏連隨

粘者,提上拔高之謂也;黏者,留戀絕卷之謂也; 連者,捨己無離之謂也; 隨者,彼走此應之謂也。要知人之知覺運動,非明粘黏連隨不可。斯粘黏連隨之功亦,亦甚細矣。

楊班侯

"To attach means to raise and to pull upwards. To adhere means to be reluctant to leave and to entangle with the opponent. To connect means means to give up oneself and not part. To follow means to comply with the opponent’s movement. It is important to be aware that without attach, adhere, connect and follow, it is not possible to achieve “consciousness in movement”. Therefore, attaining attach, adhere, connect and follow is a very refined ability."

Based on the translation by 楊俊敏 Yang Jwing Ming presented in the book 太極拳楊氏先哲秘要 Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style.
