Interpretation:
Turn the right shoulder. Stretch your left foot. It’s a steep corner. The belly is half empty. Close and open. Separate the back and the back. Back to each other. Change droop. Multiplicity is subtracted. Sparse should be supplemented, divided as if it were against the back, and combined as if it were against the eye. Loneliness is great. A serious illness hastens. It is oblique to the side. The curve is attached by oblique. The word “Qin Jing” means that you should be proud of yourself. The beauty of unified vision and continuous operation is to inherit the ups and downs. Sui Monk Zhiguo’s heart was full of praise, and Yao Zhongyu began to mark his honor.
