Introduction to Wushu Qigong
origin
Peng Zu invents Peng Zu Qigong Fitness Method —— Introduction in Pengcheng more than 4000 years ago. Professor Zhang Shikui of Xuzhou Normal University published his research achievement "Qigong and Science" (the first issue 1986) after years of textual research and research on this conclusion. At that time, the author interviewed Mr. Zhang Shikui and wrote a special news "Peng Zu is the originator of Qigong, Pengcheng is the birthplace of Qigong". China newspapers and other domestic media reprinted the news. China Qigong Science Research Association, the highest authority in the field of Qigong in China, published this news in a prominent position on the front page of its periodical. Since then, this theory is indisputable in China. This important research result also proves that Pengcheng (Xuzhou) had qigong fitness activities as early as when tribal clans entered the era of settlement and public farming from nomadism, which was the first in China. Peng Zu invented Qigong Guidance in the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties, which was the earliest prototype of China Wushu. Zhuangzi's Random Thoughts (369 BC-286 BC) is the earliest and most complete written record of Qigong initiated by Peng Zu in China. Zhuangzi described "Peng Zu Qigong Fitness Method" in vivid language. Many unearthed reliefs, murals, portraits, stone carvings and other historical remains also record the images of Peng Zu's ancestors practicing Qigong. This fully proves that "Wushu is interrelated or permeated with China's ancient philosophy, military science, pedagogy, medicine, aesthetics and colorful fitness techniques" (History of Wushu in China).
Qigong guidance, initiated by Peng Zu, is an ancient fitness technique in China, which "draws air to make harmony, pulls the body to make softness". It organically combines static exercise (breathing exercise) with dynamic exercise (body exercise), which is an effective physical activity for the ancestors of Da Peng. Mr. Chen Guying, a scholar in Taiwan Province Province, China, once wrote when commenting on the deliberate article: "(Introduction) This is a kind of aerobics, which describes the movements of a bear hanging its neck and a bird stretching". This "aerobics" is the original form of China Wushu. For thousands of years, Peng Zu's introduction has played a great role in getting rid of diseases, prolonging life and strengthening the body. Later martial arts techniques and routines such as Wuqinxi, Yijinjing, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan all evolved from this.
From this perspective, Peng Zu's Introduction to Qigong is undoubtedly the embryonic form of China Wushu and the cornerstone of Wushu Qigong.
As an effective self-defense and fitness technique in ancient times, Peng Zu Qigong is the source of the development of Wushu culture in China.

function
As the saying goes, "if you don't practice boxing, you will die."
Although there are many schools of qigong, they can be roughly divided into three categories: medical qigong, internal qigong and martial arts qigong performance.
Wushu qigong, practiced for three to five years, can not only cure people, but also cure themselves. It can also be used in martial arts with boxing. Of course, the main thing is to protect yourself from infringement, not to hurt others. To learn this kind of martial arts qigong, we must persevere and work hard, otherwise it is impossible to achieve results.
Under the control of will, Wushu Qigong exercises the qi and strength in the human body freely, which is an internal exercise of qi and strength. It is invisible to others, and only you can feel it, so you must make up your mind. Once your practice changes from quantitative to qualitative, that is the day of success.
Practice method
There are six steps in practicing Qi, namely breathing and breathing. Practitioners need to master the progress of practice properly according to their physical strength and body yin and yang.
(1) Swallowing method: open your mouth and inhale, roll your tongue, and gather the gas in your mouth into a ball, such as swallowing hard objects, and go straight into your abdomen.
(2) Wenyin method: After swallowing, close your mouth, put your tongue on the palate, inhale gradually through your nose and gently send it to your abdomen.
(3) Wu Inhalation Method: After swallowing, the mouth is slightly open, the teeth are closed, the tongue is curled, the breath is inhaled through the mouth, and then the breath is gently and leisurely sunk into the abdomen.
(4) Sedimentation method: While inhaling forcibly, lift the heel when inhaling through the mouth; When sinking air, let your feet follow the ground by the sinking power of the upper body, so that the air sinks deeper.
(5) Eye-turning method: This method is also called pupil skill. The eyes turn left 50 times, turn right 50 times, sweep left and right 10 times, and sweep up and down 10 times.
(6) Exhale method: point your tongue at your teeth and exhale gradually. The slower the better. When you vomit, use a little force to tuck in your abdomen and exhale.
The above six methods can be practiced at the same time or separately, without consistency. If you feel uncomfortable at first, you can also stop practicing for a few days. If you are out of breath during practice, you can breathe at will. Seek speed, practice hard, and make mistakes easily. If you are proficient, you must practice it all at once. You can choose one of the two methods according to your physical strength. It is best to cooperate with the movements when breathing, and the movements can be freely chosen.
