I believe many people have heard of the name Wuqinxi, which is a set of "aerobics" created by Hua Tuo after summing up the previous experience. Practicing wuqinxi more is good for our health. The following introduces the health-keeping effect of Wuqinxi.
What are the benefits of wuqinxi to health? 1 wuqinxi is one of the ancient guiding techniques, which requires the coordination of ideas and pranayama, and the coordination of movements and forms. Intention can make the spirit calm, and calmness can cultivate the true qi; Regulating breath can promote qi and regulate meridians; Dynamic modeling can strengthen bones and muscles and facilitate joints. Because it imitates the movements of five animals, it has different parts to guard, different movements and different roles to play.
1, tiger play is to imitate the image of a tiger, take its breath, make good use of its claw force, shake its head and tail, and shake its whole body. To keep the gate of life, it is the home of Yuanyang, the sea of Xue Jing, the root of vitality and the palace of fire and water. It's good for tonifying the kidney, strengthening the waist and bones, letting you cross the Du meridian and catch a cold.
Deer play is to imitate the image of deer, take its longevity spirit, and be good at carrying the tail. The tail is where Ren and Du meridians meet. Deer play is intended to guard the tail, which can draw air from the whole body, dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and stretch bones and muscles.
Bear play is to imitate the image of a bear. Bears are all thumbs, quiet outside and moving inside. It is necessary to observe the coordination of qi and blood in the middle uterus (umbilicus). When practicing bear infestation, the key point is to move inside and be quiet outside. This can calm the mind, match the spirit, permeate the true qi, and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and benefiting the stomach.
Ape play imitates the image of apes, who are alert, flexible and active. Practicing this play is to practice the flexibility of limbs outside, and to restrain ideological activities inside, so as to achieve the purpose of being calm, light and healthy. Ask to stay in the navel, in order to move in shape and stay calm in spirit.
Bird play, also known as crane play, imitates the image of crane and moves lightly and smoothly. To practice this play, we should pay attention to Qi Hai, which is the focus of Ren Mai and Qi Hai. Crane opera can regulate qi and blood and dredge meridians and joints.
The five techniques of Wuqinxi have their own emphases, but they are a whole. A set of systematic techniques, if practiced regularly, have the functions of nourishing spirit, regulating qi and blood, benefiting viscera, dredging meridians, activating bones and muscles and benefiting joints. When the heart is at peace, the exuberance of qi will produce essence, and the exuberance of essence will be transformed into aerodynamic shape, so as to achieve the unity of the three elements (essence, qi and spirit), and then the effect of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body can be obtained. As Hua Tuo said: "It is also good for removing diseases and benefiting the feet."
What are the health care functions of Wuqinxi? Wuqinxi was created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in Han Dynasty, and it is a skill to imitate the movements of five animals. Hua tuo created a set of medical qigong to prevent and cure diseases and prolong life by imitating the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane. It is a bionic achievement method, which is characterized by "external movement and internal quietness", "seeking quietness in movement" and "both movement and static", combining rigidity and flexibility, and both internal and external repair.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that tigers, deer, bears, apes and birds have both form and spirit, and they will never grow old after long practice.
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". Wuqinxi is widely circulated among the people in China, and it is also one of the oldest fitness methods. 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. 1982 On June 28th, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the then State Sports Commission of China issued a notice, regarding traditional China fitness methods such as Wuqinxi as one of the contents of "Healthy physical education class" promoted in medical colleges. In 2003, China's State Sports General Administration promoted the five-animal play and other fitness methods as the content of "Fitness Qigong" to the whole country.
The initial movements of the "Five Birds Play" mainly imitate the tiger flapping its forelimbs, the bear falling and standing up, the stretching of the deer's head and neck, the vertical jumping of the ape's toes and the spreading of the bird's wings.
