Slu Lin tau ko kuit from red boat

[Hendrik]

於此公開紅船正旦易金所傳授之詠春拳小練頭歌訣，
以供諸詠春拳同宗與中國武術學者參研發楊詠春拳。
涂福如敬上於美國加卅矽谷

「傳承」

易金授於曹順。
曹順傳仔曹德勝。
曹德勝嫡傳曹全與同房太公曹安。
曹安首授曹雄才。
曹雄才授涂福如於馬來西亞梹城。

「練習須知」

眼要對手。手要對心。
手從心發。一絲不苟。
一伸一縮。柔中帶剛。
剛中而柔。 則是。靜如平波。動如翻江。
若不明攻守之道。皆失過偏弊耳。

「小練頭歌訣 」
甲

聚意會神平肩檔。兩手前起分陰陽
左腿跘出有善惡。右跟屈勁緊反藏
會合丹田督脈降。手臂鞭出橫力勁
神寄指爪䄂底旁。旋迥自然順脈氣
掌背向外神意足。翻掌抽纏對心防
單橫相撐合氣運。相抱沉身力橫分
前虛急用擒伏法。下叉飛雙插翼忙
合實雙掌穿心貫。下沉關元背攻上
一任自然脈安祥。企掌屈肘單朝陽
上下飛花勁脈��。呑吐如虹發力罡
下結關元參佛手。一任自然氣脈長。

「斯是上乘法。通關開竅有奇功。」

今注：可參考峨嵋十二庒歌訣與福䢖白鶴拳古文以解此小練頭歌訣

CFT,

Please help to translate this if possible. Your effort will be appreciated by the WCK practitioners of the west. It is not easy or might not be even able to translate some parts because it is quoting the other ancient writing. It might take some times to translate.

Thanks and appreciate !

This is what it is 1850. Time to let the world sees it. Hope this seed grow in the west.

Best regards
Hendrik

「練習須知」
Training notes

眼要對手。手要對心。
手從心發。一絲不苟。
一伸一縮。柔中帶剛。
剛中而柔。 則是。靜如平波。動如翻江。
若不明攻守之道。皆失過偏弊耳。
Eyes follow hand, hand follows heart.
Hand comes from the heart, without a thread of carelessness.
One extends, one retracts.
Softness carries hardness within. Hardness has softness within.
This is silence like the gentle waves, motion like the raging river.
If you don't understand the method of attack and defence, then you are extremely mistaken.

[CFT]

Hendrik, I can't see 3 characters:

神寄指爪?底旁。旋迥自然順脈氣
單橫相?合氣運。相抱沉身力橫分
上下飛花勁脈?。呑吐如虹發力罡

Just Mistaken of going extreme. No deaf needed.

As the following.

爪䄂。相𣛟。脈𣈱。

[CFT]

爪䄂。相��。脈��。

I still can't see it. Don't know what encoding you are using. Just use pinyin and I'll see if I can guess it.

I've found the lyrics on your youtube video. I'll have a look at those and also your description of each line. I think it would be more useful to others if I try to translate your explanations rather than the literal translation of the ko kuit. I'll have a look at it at some point.

[Hendrik]

Ok

It is sleeve, support, smooth. In the sequence of your question above.

Mandarin is. Siu, Cherng, Chaang. Sleeve, support, smooth.

[CFT]

Hope you can see this Hendrik: 袖 持 暢
Is that right?

[Hendrik]

Hope you can see this Hendrik: 袖 持 暢

The second is off.

扌掌。 support can you see ?


Others are correct. Thanks.

[CFT]
