Sixth Secret Song (歌訣六) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣六

穿時指掌貼肘行，
後肩改做前肩承。
莫要距離莫猶疑，
步入襠兮是準繩。

"When boring, the palm moves straight forward closely along the elbow
The rear shoulder transforms and continues as the front shoulder
One shall not separate nor hesitate,
To step into the opponent’s crotch is the standard."

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"
