歌訣十四、封閉法

手講三關腳伸屈,
一手三關腳直迂。
肩肘腕胯膝可用,
縮頸空胸步帶軀。




"In the upper limbs we talk of the three passes, and for lower limbs the extension and flexion,
The upper limbs can use three passes, while the lower limbs can go straight or roundabout.
You can use your shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees,
Retreat your neck, empty your chest, and your footwork will lead the whole body."

Translation by Andrea Falk in A Shadow of Fallen Blosoms
