First Secret Song (歌訣一) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣一

空胸拔頂下塌腰，
扭步掰膝抓地牢。
沈肩墜肘伸前掌，
二目須從虎口瞧。

"Relax the chest, lift up the crown of the head, and let the waist sink,
Twist the step, lock the knees together, grab the ground.
Sink the shoulders, drop the elbows, and extend the front palm forward,
Both eyes look through the tiger's mouth."

Based on the translations by Yang Jwing Ming (楊俊敏) and Liang Shou You (梁守渝) in "Baguazhang - Theory and Applications" (峨嵋八卦掌) and by Frank Allen and Tina Chunna Zhang in "The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang"
