洪門
On the Eastern Gate,
'To the East where the element of wood stands it is difficult to go,
Sun, Moon, mountains, and streams all come from the Eastern seas.'
On the Southern Gate,
'The fiery road to the element of fire is hot,
But in the distance Chang, Ts'uen, P'ing and Nankin it is cold.'
On the Western Gate,
'On the narrow road of the element of metal you must be careful,
Of the two paths it is clear that there is no impediment on the one which leads to the West.'
On the Northern Gate,
'At the sign of Yin-kui the water is deep and difficult to cross,
But in Yun-nan and Sze-Chuen there is a road by which you can travel.
With Respect ,
