The Song of Mutual Creation (相生歌) by Jiāng Róngqiáo (薑容樵)

相生歌

劈能生鑽鑽生崩,
崩能生炮炮生橫,
橫能生劈各形本,
萬物于土五行生。

薑容樵
"Pi is able to generate Zuan; Zuan is able to generate Beng,
Beng is able to generate create Pao; Pao is able to generate Heng,
Heng is able to generate Pi; it is the root of every form.
Everything is contained in Heng; this is the creation of five elements."

From the book Xing Yi Mother Fists (形意母拳), by Jiāng Róngqiáo (薑容樵), based on the translation by Joseph Crandall
