太極文武解
文者體也；武者用也。文功在武，用於精氣神也，為之體育；武功得文，體於心身也，為之武事。
夫文武尤有火候之謂，在放，卷得其時中，體育之本也。文武使於對待之際，在蓄，發當其可者，武事之根本。故雲:武事文為，柔軟體操也，精氣神之筋勁:武事武用，剛硬武事也，心身之骨刀也。
義無武之頂備，為之有體無用；武無文之伴侶，為之有用無體。如獨木難支，孤掌不響。不惟體育，武事之功，事事諸如此理也。
文者，內理也；武者，外數也。有外數，無文理，必為血氣之勇，失於本來面目，欺敵必敗爾；有文理，無外數，徒恩安靜之學，未知用的採戰，差微則亡耳。自用，於人，文武二字之解，豈可不解哉!

"Learning is the system, the Martial Arts is the application. The achievement of Learning is in the Martial Arts. As one employs Jing, Qi and Shen as physical education, Martial Arts yield Learning. The system of mind and body becomes a martial discipline.
Those that are said to have reached the particular maturity of Learning and Martial Arts built the roots of physical training. When Learning and Martial Arts are bound, they enable the ability to store and emit, the foundation of Martial Arts work-out. As Martial Arts is approached through Learning, it manifests as a soft physical exercise. When Jing, Qi and Shen are manifested in the tendons, the Martial work-out is manifested in applications, it manifests as the hard Martial topic. It is the application of the mind and body upon the bone’s structure.
Martial Arts without physical preparation means the system is useless. Martial Arts without Learning is applicable but there is no system. As it is difficult for a lone pole to sustain a house, and as a lone palm cannot clap, the achievement of Martial Arts is not only physical, it adresses everything.
Learning is the internal system, Martial Arts is the external manifestation. It is certain that external manifestation without the internal system misses the true features of bravery of the blood and breath, therefore it gives an unfair advantage to an opponent. In the case of learning the internal system without the external manifestation, the apprentice favor peaceful study but does not know how to behave in a fight, the smallest error will be fatal. If the application of the two characters of Learning and Martial Arts is understood, how then may Learning and Martial Arts not be understood?"
