Second Secret Song (歌訣二) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣二

後肘先疊肘掩心,
手在翻塌向前跟。
跟到前肘合抱力,
前後兩手一團神。
"The rear elbow is folded and in line with the stomach,
The palm turns downward and extends forward.
The rear palm is below the elbow of the lead arm,
Both palms coordinate in harmony to become one whole power."

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"
