Thirty-fifth Secret Song (歌訣三十五) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌) Trigésima Quinta Canção Secreta (歌訣三十五) das Trinta e Seis Canções do Bāguàzhăng (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣三十五

冰天雪地雨濘滑,
前腳橫使且莫差,
翻身切忌螺絲轉,
高低緊避乃為佳。

"Icy sky, snowy ground, it is slippery and muddy in the rain,
The front foot is employed horizontally; please don’t make a mistake,
When turning over, avoid to spin it,
Avoid difficult heights, then handling becomes fine."

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"
