According to legend, the so-called Wuqinxi was created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in ancient China. He imitated the activities of five animals, such as tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird, and compiled a set of aerobics according to the traditional guidance of China. Hua Tuo once said: "If the human body wants to work hard, it should not be extremely ear-catching. Shake, valley qi disappears, blood circulates, and all diseases are not born. For example, the household pivot is immortal. I have a skill, called wuqinxi. One is called a tiger, the other a deer, the third a bear, the fourth an ape and the fifth a bird. If you are unhappy, play the role of a bird and sweat happily. Because you are covered in powder, your body is light and you want to eat. " This passage clearly describes the role of Wuqinxi in preventing and treating diseases. Wuqinxi is a set of exercise methods that are very suitable for the elderly to keep fit.

The key to practicing Wuqinxi lies in mastering and understanding the basic essentials. First of all, you should exercise with your mind. Every time you practice, you must be good at controlling and concentrating, so as to exercise your nerve adjustment ability. This has a more important and obvious effect on the elderly. Secondly, the movements, shapes and meanings of the five animals in the Wuqinxi have their own characteristics. In the process of practice, tigers should take the meaning of agility, deer should take the meaning of agility, bears should take the meaning of steadiness and strength, apes should pay more attention to flexibility, and birds should pay more attention to balance. If the elderly can be based on the above two and persevere, they will certainly receive good fitness results.

The exercise of Wuqinxi is generally relatively large, and generally speaking, the elderly are not suitable for large-scale exercise, so in the process of practicing Wuqinxi, the exercise of the elderly should have certain standards. This standard can be determined by self-feeling. Simply put, it is to practice physical and mental comfort and sweat slightly.
