形意拳七順/Xingyiquan Qi Shun – Xingyiquan’s Seven Followings

肩要催肘,而肘不逆肩。肘要催手,而手不逆肘。手要催指,而指不逆手。腰要催胯,而胯不逆腰。胯要催膝,而膝不逆胯。膝要催足,而足不逆膝。首要催身,而身不逆首。心氣穩定,陰陽相合,上下相連,內外如一,此之謂七順。

The shoulders should urge the elbows, & the elbows shouldn’t oppose the shoulders. The elbows should urge the hands, & the hands shouldn’t oppose the elbows. The hands should urge the fingers, & the fingers shouldn’t oppose the hands. The waist should urge the kua, & the kua shouldn’t oppose the waist. The kua should urge the knees, & the knees shouldn’t oppose the kua. The knees should urge the feet, & the feet shouldn’t oppose the knees. The Head urges the body, & the body shouldn’t oppose the head. The state of mind is stable & settled, Yin & Yang are mutually combined, Above & Below are mutually linked, Inner & Outer are like One, this is called the Seven Followings.
