人有血肉筋骨血肉筋骨之末端曰梢蓋髮為血梢舌為肉梢爪為筋梢牙為骨梢四梢用力則可變其常態而令人畏懼焉

李存義

"The body has blood, muscles, sinews, and bones. The endpoints of these tissues are called “antennas”. The antenna of the blood is the hair, the antenna of the muscles is the tongue, the antenna of the sinews is the nails, and the antenna of the bones is the teeth. When the four antennas express power, they can transform you into something unearthly, transmitting to the opponent that he should fear you."
