On the basis of predecessors' guidance, Hua Tuo, a medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, created a set of fitness methods with the functions of treatment, rehabilitation and health preservation according to the movements and expressions of the morphology and habits of five animals, namely tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird, as well as the operating rules of Yin and Yang, five elements, Tibetan images, meridians and qi and blood in the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Wuqinxi is an organic combination of exercise and TCM health preservation, which has great medical value. Medical gymnastics was invented 1000 years earlier than Sweden, which is a great pioneering work of human sports and medical treatment. It is reported that as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi had already learned from Hua Tuo. At the age of 26, Sima Yi could far surpass Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Cao Pi to live to 72.

Others say it's because they practice Wuqinxi all the year round. But what Wuqinxi really emphasizes is to balance the external pressure through external activities and internal breathing conditioning to maintain its own physical and mental health and harmony. They correspond to five internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, and five elements, Jin Mu, fire, water and earth. Tiger play imitates the fierce momentum of tigers in the hunting process.

It even includes eyes and consciousness, emphasizing the exercise of waist muscle strength to consolidate kidney qi and essence. Deer play includes imitating deer running and deer stretching. When you simulate antlers with your hands, you will hold the acupoints of your palm tightly to stimulate blood circulation. The bear exhibition mainly simulates the pace of bears, including Xiong Yun and Xiong Huang.
