HuaTuo Fitness 五禽戏

Description:

Wu Qin Xi is a set of imitative daoyin exercises created by the legendary physician Hua Tuo, based on the movements of five animals — the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird — and combined with the theories of traditional Chinese medicine as well as the principles of yin and yang, the five elements, visceral manifestation, and meridians. This practice has been passed down for a thousand years and has been listed by the state as intangible cultural heritage. Today, the inheritors of Wu Qin Xi devote themselves selflessly and make tremendous efforts to promote and pass on this tradition.
