The effect is suitable for men, women and children, and can make thin people strong and fat people lose weight.

Development:

Sitting posture and standing posture

The name of Baduanjin was first seen in Hong Mai's Jane Yizhi in the Northern Song Dynasty: "In the seventh year of Zhenghe, Li Sihuolang ... who tried to sit up in the middle of the night, pee and massage, and practice the so-called Baduanjin." It shows that Baduanjin has spread all over the world in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can be divided into sitting posture and standing posture.

Li's Ba Duan Brocade was first seen in the health-preserving literature in Zeng Yi's "Miao Pian of Dao Zhong Shu" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Those who raise their palms to treat the triple energizer are also; Sculpture of left liver and right lung; Things are independent, so they are safe for the spleen and stomach; Go back to look after it, so I care about it; The size faces the sky, so it passes through its five internal organs; Swallow and replenish qi, and pick your hands left and right; Put the eel's tail, so as to get rid of the heart disease; The left and right hands climb their feet, so cure their waist. " However, Baduanjin in this period has not yet been named, and its words have not yet been sung.

North-south faction

Baduanjin is divided into north and south factions. Those who move gently and often use standing movements are called southern beats, which were handed down by Liang Shichang under the guise; The action of "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" is mainly "gang", which is called "North School" and its dependence is spread by Yue Fei. From the point of literature and action, both the South School and the North School are in the same strain. Among them, there is no textual research on the descendants of the association.

The exact reason and time for the emergence of Baduanjin are still inconclusive. However, from the guide map unearthed from Mawangdui No.3 Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province, we can see that at least four maps are similar to Baduanjin Map, such as "regulating the spleen and stomach must be done alone", "strengthening the kidney and waist with both hands", "opening the bow to the left and right like shooting eagles" and "removing all diseases behind the seven processes".
