Baduanjin belongs to the category of guiding kung fu, with round and flexible movements, gentleness and generosity, and long-term practice of benefiting qi and blood and strengthening bones and muscles. The following four aspects are the key to practicing Baduanjin well:

First, the appearance should conform to the specifications, otherwise the exercise effect will be discounted. Some beginners lack physical toughness when they are just practicing, such as lowering their heads and adjusting their tails, so it is difficult to reach the standard. Pay attention to overcoming in this respect, try to reach the standard step by step, but don't force it. The appearance should be carried out on the basis of relaxation. If the appearance is not up to standard, the internal thinking should also conform to the specifications.

Second, thinking, pay attention to the thinking of each formula of Baduanjin and the transformation from one formula to another, so that the thinking can meet the requirements on the premise of relaxation and compliance with the specifications.

The third is breathing, the key point is when to breathe and when to breathe. Breathing requires thin, slow, deep and long. When kung fu reaches a certain temperature, it will naturally turn into reverse breathing (that is, abdominal breathing, where the abdomen contracts when inhaling and sinks when exhaling, which is also called fetal interest in Taoism).

Fourth, the external form should be consistent with the internal thought and breathing, and should be integrated. Prepare for startup and shutdown. Pay attention to the specifications and standards of each formula and try not to discount. Pay attention to the connection and transformation between various formulas.

The above is my humble opinion, I hope I can help you. If you are interested, you can study the Yijinjing. Yijinjing has many versions and schools. Here, I recommend you to choose the Dharma Yijinjing, a *** 12 style. Personally, I think the exercise effect is better than Baduanjin.
