Wuqinxi is a traditional fitness method in China, which consists of five movements imitating animals. Five-bird drama is also called "Five-bird Exercise", "Five-bird Qigong" and "Hundred Steps Sweating Drama". It is said that it was created by Hua Tuo, a physician in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The five animal plays are tiger play, deer play, bear play, ape play and bird play, and each action imitates the corresponding animal action. The traditional Wuqinxi, also known as hua tuo wuqinxi, consists of five plays and 54 movements. The simplified Wuqinxi newly compiled by China Sports Commission is divided into two movements, namely: tiger lift and tiger pounce; The deer came and ran away; Yun Xiong, Xiong Huang; Apes lift, apes pick; Birds stretch and fly. Each movement is completed symmetrically left and right, with respiratory conditioning.

Wuqinxi is one of the most popular and longest-lasting fitness methods in China, and its fitness effect has been praised by health care workers in past dynasties. It is said that Hua Tuo's apprentice, Upp, lived to the age of 100 because of long-term practice of this method. .

Hua Tuo invented "Mafeisan", the first person to perform surgery under general anesthesia, and was later honored as "the originator of surgery".
