During the Republic of China, Wudang Taoist priests, based on the traditional Wudang Seven-Star Skill, followed the idea of "harmony between man and nature", integrated the theories of Yi-ology, Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and traditional Chinese medicine, and compiled a set of body-building and health-keeping exercises with China's traditional style and characteristics according to the orientation of the Big Dipper and the diagram of human meridians and qi and blood.
Through the combination of "external training, internal training and pranayama", we can achieve the functions of activating bones and muscles, dredging meridians, regulating breath, harmonizing qi and blood, straightening out viscera, calming the heart and calming the nerves, and finally achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
In the 1940s, an unknown Taoist from Wutangmen lived and studied in Fuxing Temple in Yuhuangshan, Hangzhou. He often practices Buddhism in Zilai Cave and Qixinggang (now a tourist attraction). In his spare time, he spread the Seven Stars to several practitioners, and Mr. Wu Meicheng is one of them.
1In August, 979, Mr. Wu Meicheng was invited to teach in the former Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which led to the introduction of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the past 40 years, several generations of PE teachers, such as Mei Hong, Su Yaping and Li Zhen, have been continuously optimized and improved through inheritance.
In order to facilitate the competition and promotion of the Seven-Star Kung Fu, it was adapted into a competitive version of the Seven-Star Kung Fu in the early 1990s and spread to Chinese medicine colleges and universities all over the country. Since 20 10, it has become a traditional sports meeting fitness skill competition in Chinese medicine colleges. In 20 19, after more than two years of re-excavation, sorting and restoration by teams such as Luo Hongbin and Li Zhen, it was revised into a fitness version of Seven Stars Gong, which is similar to the original appearance.
