四字秘訣
敷 敷者，運氣於己身，敷布彼勁之上，使不得動也。
蓋 蓋者，以氣蓋彼來處也。
對 對者，以氣對彼來處，認定準頭而去也。
吞 吞者，以氣全吞而入於化也。
此四字無形無聲，非懂勁後，練到極精地位者，不能知全。是以氣言，能直養其氣而無害，始能施於四體。四體不言而喻矣。

"Spread: to spread means to transport the Qì from one’s body to the opponent’s Jin, so he is unable to move.
Cover: to cover means to use the Qì to cover of the opponent’s point of attack.
Match: to match means to use the Qì to match the opponent’s point of attack. Recognize precisely the target and then go.
Swallow: to swallow means use the Qì to completely absorb and transform it.
These four characters are formless and soundless. Those who do not understand Jìn and did practice enough to reach the highest standard won’t be able to understand fully. Following these words on Qì, one is able to raisonably develop one’s Qì without harm and spread it to the four limbs."
