欲成名,志当砺,功夫真,怀绝技,满受损,谦受益,弃杂念,秉公心,重仁义,扬武德,讲谐气,不畏邪,不下 欺,匡助弱,扶正义,奉劝君,要记牢。
You desire a name? You must have the determination of a grindstone! For true Gong Fu, to develop a supreme skill, you must be content to suffer injury. Be modest about profit, abandon distracting thoughts, cling to an impartial mind, attach great importance to benevolence and righteousness! Cultivate Martial virtue, have fair temper, shun evil and never deceive. Help the weak, uphold justice and respect the law. You must remember these things well.
