The Song of Sparring (打手歌) attributed to Wáng Zōngyuè (王宗嶽)

亂環訣

掤履擠按須認真,上下相隨人難進。
任他巨力來打我,牽動四兩撥千金。
引進落空合即出,粘連黏隨不丟頂。

王宗嶽
"One should be conscious of Ward-off, Rollback, Press and Push, up and down should follow each other, the opponent will find it difficult to penetrate.
It does not matter if he uses enormous force to attack, one needs four onces to deflect a thousand pounds.
Guide the opponent's power to lead him into emptiness, then immediately attack, adhere, connect, stick, follow, and do not loose the opponent. "

Based on various translations on the internet.
