? Baduanjin Qigong/Baduanjin

Baduanjin is a kind of Baduanjin. The whole set of movements is fine and moderate, and each movement is designed to meet the needs of a certain zang-fu organ or disease and treatment, and has the functions of qi and blood circulation and regulating zang-fu functions. Its name was first seen in Jian Yizhi by Hong Mai in Song Dynasty. Zeng's "Dao Miao Pian" once described the specific practice method: "Raise the palm to treat the triple energizer, and the left liver and right lung are like sculptures; When things are independent, the spleen and stomach are safe; Go back to look after it, so I care about it; The size of the sky is as high as its five zang; Swallow body fluid to replenish qi, pick your hands from left to right, and put in the eel tail to get rid of heart disease; The left and right hands climb their feet, so they cure the waist. " "Ling Jian Zi Jing Dao" also records: "I have triple energizer in Ceng Zhi, and my left liver and right lung are like carvings. My east spleen is connected with my stomach, and I suffer from five pains and seven injuries. The fish swims from tail to heart, and my hands climb to my waist, and the drums ring thirty-six times. My hands cover my ears and knock on my head." Baduanjin has developed continuously from generation to generation, with many schools. Modern popular practice methods and songs can be found in Ba Duan Jin attached to Liang Shichang's Illustration of Yijin Jing in Qing Dynasty (the author is unknown).
