Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that involves
coordinating breathing patterns with physical postures to maintain
health and well-being. Wu Qin Xi: Five-Animal Qigong Exercises is
an accessible, fully-illustrated guide to a particular qigong
exercise that imitates the movements of animals and birds. The book
explores the development of the five-animal exercises from the work
of Hua Tua, a leading physician of the Eastern Han Dynasty whose
inspiration came from the observation of tigers, deer, bears,
monkeys and birds. He came to the conclusion that wild creatures
regularly performed certain exercises which can be replicated in
order to build up the constitution and improve life skills. Each
routine is described step-by-step, and is illustrated with
photographs and key points. The authors also point out common
mistakes and offer advice on how to correct these. Complemented by
an appendix of acupuncture points and accompanied by online
content, this book will be of interest to Qigong and Tai Chi
practitioners at all levels, students of martial arts and anyone
interested in Chinese culture.
