The application of health qigong was very common in Qin and Han dynasties. Although there are only 44 tour guide maps of Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province, it can be clearly seen that the tour guide posture at that time was complex and changeable. At that time, Qigong had taken into account all parts of the body, and the participants were men, women and children, all dressed as ordinary people. It can be seen that qigong was popular among civilians at that time.

There are three noteworthy silk paintings in Mawangdui tomb. One is the Qigong diagram hidden in the lacquer cave, in which the figures are arranged separately, showing their fitness posture and different shapes and costumes.

Some pictures also indicate the guiding role, and pay attention to the coordination of conscious activities and actions. Judging from many gestures in the guide map, it is obviously one of the origins of the invention of Wuqinxi by Hua Tuo in later generations.
