Song of Split
How can we explain the energy of Split? Revolving like a flywheel, If something is thrown against it, It will be cast off at a great distance. Whirlpools appear in swift flowing streams, And the curling waves are like spirals. If a falling leaf lands on their surface, In no time it will sink from sight.
-Quoted form the Yang Family Manuscripts Collected by Li Ling-ang Trans. Douglas Wile
