First of all, Baduanjin is a set of fitness guidance methods with a long history. There are many versions, including South, North, Chinese, martial arts, dynamic and static, but they are all the same. My master told me that Baduanjin actually originated from the Taoist "Eight Vajrayana" and was the secret recipe of Taoist imperial clan. Others created eight-segment brocade by catching the wind and catching shadows, and added twelve-segment brocade such as "sitting and standing" to it, but the effect was not great and the skill itself was rather boring. Shaolin Yijin Sutra has been included and some changes have been made.

Baduanjin Qigong/Baduanjin

Tai Ji Chuan is a national intangible cultural heritage. It is based on Taiji and dialectical thought of Yin and Yang in China's traditional Confucianism and Taoism philosophy, and integrates many functions such as nourishing temperament, strengthening body, fighting and fighting, and integrates the changes of Yin and Yang and the five elements of Yi learning, meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, ancient guidance of breathing, softness and lightness.

Yijinjing can be said to be a summary of China's regimen, which absorbs the body movements of Baduanjin and Wu Qin operas, including breathing and breathing, and covers the six-character formula. Action posture is nothing more than the steps and standing methods of martial arts such as "horse, bow, servant, emptiness and rest". It can be said responsibly that if you practice Ba Duan Jin, you can't adjust it. You can only learn five or six characters, but you can only practice Wu Qin Opera if you can't be strong. In this way, I'm afraid you also know the real reason why Yijinjing has been hidden in Shaolin for thousands of years.

So I think if you just want to be strong outside and weak inside, then practice Ba Duan Jin. If you want to practice both inside and outside, choose Yijinjing or Taiji Chuan. Personally, I prefer Yijinjing. Because Tai Chi pays more attention to confrontation, and those I know who practice Tai Chi for a long time are easy to hurt their health. Finally, it's all leg pain.

Twelve types of Yijinjing

In the Twelve-style Yijin Sutra, movements are all evolved from imitating various labor postures in ancient times. For example, actions such as spring grain, handling, warehousing, hoarding and cherishing grain are all based on various actions of labor. Activities are characterized by body flexion and extension, pitching and twisting, so as to achieve the exercise effect of "stretching muscles and pulling bones". Therefore, for teenagers, this method can correct the bad posture of the body and promote the growth and development of muscles and bones; For the elderly and infirm, regular practice of this skill can prevent muscle atrophy in the elderly, promote blood circulation, adjust and strengthen the nutrition and absorption of the whole body, which is very beneficial to the recovery of chronic diseases and delay aging.
