Drawing on ancient documents from China and Tibet, archaeological
findings and cultural relics, this illustrated handbook presents
authentic Qigong forms from the Warring States period right up the
late Qing dynasty of the early twentieth century. Twenty-six sets
of pictures relating to Qigong, Daoyin, diet and living habits are
included, each set introduced with a brief overview of the origin,
development, changes and practice modes of each method. Presented
in chronological order, each chapter describes the source from
which the exercises are derived, and then provides a description of
the ancient form, its health and other benefits, uses, and how to
do it, together with drawings of the original illustrations where
these exist, or line drawings of the movements described where the
original text was not illustrated. The forms are easy to learn, and
easy to do, providing also a direct link to the authentic ancient
forms. The selection focuses on the forms oriented to achieving
resilience and general good health, but also includes many simple
ancient Qigong forms for particular health problems, ranging from
fatigue, indigestion and headache, to more serious conditions such
as rheumatism, and even typhoid and cholera. Qigong forms directed
towards the more esoteric outcomes of Qigong practice are also
included. This valuable resource includes over 700 illustrations,
and will be a treasure trove for all practitioners and students of
Qigong, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Oriental
internal arts.
