Commentary:
若朔其源, 訣中諸如 "集意会神平肩襠 双手前起半(分)陰阳"之句, 仍出自峨嵋十二庄. 諸如單朝阳, 吞吐如虹之詞非白鶴门無他.
詠春以單昭陽,昭陽應六变固若金蕩.
吞吐浮沉君須記 揎蓋挑疊常要用
吞吐浮沉...揎蓋挑疊...升降開合..... 形,勢,气脉...

昭陽 (Facing Sun)
<白鶴仙師祖傳真法> 中的 <方七娘白鶴拳十五勢>，就載有 : [跌、砍拳...招陽、......]十五個勢法，並注明如何動作及攻防意義之所在。.......這十五個勢應為當時最早見之於拳譜中的勢法，當是當時所傳教的。
比如十五勢拳譜中所寫： [招 (昭) 陽。白鶴拳法之五：凡拳起手，只要招 (昭)陽，無論他用何勢，可用此勢，大門放過，小門直入。蓋此勢兩手顧鼻面，短牙顧中攔切，戒分腳退後。]......。
On Inch Jing Join Power
.........永春白鶴拳以 " 寸勁節力 " 見稱，能集中全身之力，於一剎那間發出，達到最好的持擊效果。要求力從胸起如雷從地發，蓄於身腰，發於臂手。........
........雙手沉肩、墜肘、坐腕成昭陽手，分成三節，肩至肘為內節，肘關節為中節，腕關節為尾節，要做到內節如鐵一般堅實，與肩身成一整體；.........
圈手入側門，坐節沉肘，肩墮；成昭陽手，手入即身入；不用僵力。
三) 兩手昭陽、吞吐節力：雙手沉肩、墜肘、坐腕成「昭陽手」，分成三節，肩至肘為內節(根節)，肘關節為中節，腕關節為尾節，要做到內節如鐵一般堅實，與肩身成一整體；中節吞墜，尾節如膠如漆，靈活多變。雙手來去出力發勁，出手時吐氣(吐)，收手時吸氣(吞)，一吞一吐互相配合無間，堅持「中門不讓，子午不離」。練習時與肩、頭、背、胯、膝要貫串一氣，互相呼應，如有橡筋互相牽引、拉扯，吞肩坐節(墜肘)，發胛力，勁達指尖。出手時節中隨身與胯同向，不可縮入開出，手節對膝，承接全身各處之力。
