Baduanjin Qigong is a kind of traditional health qigong in ancient China, also known as Yijinjing, which was introduced from India when Chen Xuanzang went to the East to learn Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, this qigong had begun to spread, and it was combined with the Taoist method of health care and became the later health care method. Since then, Baduanjin has spread widely in China, becoming a kind of health qigong closely combined with secular life.

Baduanjin was founded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the specific source is not easy to find. But its founders studied and explored China traditional culture in the spirit of patriotism, progress and honesty. Later, it was continuously improved and developed, such as cold and heat injury, tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, internal and external injuries, fatigue, heart disease, low back pain and other diseases, which were widely used in medical care.

Baduanjin successfully protected, enhanced and improved health and spirit, and exercised athletes' physical fitness, reaction ability and psychological quality. Baduanjin keeps people healthy, relaxed and energetic, and enhances their ability to resist various diseases. Baduanjin Qigong has a long history, and the detailed birthplace and origin can't be verified now, but after thousands of years of development, it has become one of the excellent traditional Qigong in China.
