A friend of mine asked me the other day that there are so many kinds of animals in nature. Why did Wuqinxi choose to imitate five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird? In fact, I have asked this question once. Experts said that this choice was fully considered by predecessors. The life habits of these five animals are different, and their activities also have their own characteristics, either light, sensitive, calm, heroic or extraordinary independence. We imitate the typical postures of these animals to exercise joints, muscles and internal organs. Deer and cranes are symbols of longevity in ancient China. Wuqinxi can be said to be an effective health-keeping exercise and a set of medical gymnastics for physical and mental exercise. Why do you say that? Ms. Wang from Beijing said that when she practiced Wuqinxi, she felt a sense of integration with nature, and she was particularly happy. Especially after practicing Wuqinxi's ape play, she unconsciously found that the hypertension that had plagued her for many years was not high.

This is Ms. Wang. After this morning exercise, she took the initiative to introduce us to her blood pressure changes.

Ms. Wang, when my blood pressure was high, it was 160, 170, and when it was low, it was 120,10. Now it can be maintained at140,90, and sometimes the high pressure can even be maintained at 130.

Explain what makes Ms. Wang's blood pressure more and more normal.

Why does Ms. Wang have high blood pressure is because she is depressed and always thinks about things and so many things. If you are cheerful and have a good attitude, you will be in good health.

Because of her work, Ms. Wang has been depressed for many years, but she has gradually become cheerful this year. What is the reason behind this?

What Ms. Wang practiced was the Five Animals Show, especially the performance of this monkey. As soon as she practices, she seems to be just like that child. Isn't it especially happy that apes pick peaches and monkeys pick peaches? She felt very happy.

When practicing Wu Qin's play, does ape play have anything to do with lowering blood pressure?

Ms. Wang has something to do with this matter. You see, I did it angrily, but it didn't work, it didn't work, and my heart was still depressed. Look at my mood. When you look at me, you are happy. Are you happy? You see, what I made myself is beautiful, too. I'll pick.

Is the host right? Does it make sense? Needless to say, it is really important. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the relationship between emotion and health. In China's earliest medical work Neijing, there is a saying that "all diseases are born of qi". Ms. Wang used to be depressed and easily angry. Qi stagnation hurts the liver, depression and irritability lead to dizziness and high blood pressure. Next, I still want to ask you to pay attention to this picture of five birds and five internal organs that we show you. Let's look at apes. The heart has two functions: one is to control the heart and the other is to control the blood. After practicing the ape play in the Five Animals Play, she was calm and harmonious, and her blood pressure naturally dropped after her mood improved. It seems that Ms. Wang's own experience is really correct. Not only did Ms. Wang's blood pressure drop, but she also said that the ape play had developed cervical spondylosis and low back pain. I will listen to how to practice later.

To explain ape play, ape play has two hand shapes: ape hook, five fingers together and wrist bent. Hold tight, press your thumb on the inside of the root of the ring finger, and put the other four fingers together. Apes are lively, smart and agile. The ape play should imitate the ape's actions of looking around, climbing trees and picking fruits. The ape play consists of two actions: lifting the ape and picking it up. When lifting an ape, put your hands in front of you, quickly knead your fingers to form an ape hook, shrug your shoulders and shrink your neck, raise your hand, tuck in your abdomen and lift your anus, lift your heel, turn your head to the left, turn your head back, relax your shoulders, follow your feet, press your hands to your abdomen, and then move right. Pay attention to the action steps. When lifting the center of gravity, lift the shoulders first, then tuck in the abdomen and lift the anus. When your center of gravity drops, lift your heels.

Subtitle Apes can massage the heart and improve blood supply to the brain.

Explain that the ape picks, draws an arc backwards, presses down step by step, and picks the fruit in the previous step. Ape picking simulates apes climbing trees to pick fruits. Hand shape and eyes vary greatly. When you put your hand on the right side of your head, turn your head to look at the upper right corner, imagine finding a peach on the tree, then squat down, jump forward, climb the tree to pick the fruit, quickly change the hook speed, hold it firmly and then take it back, and hold the peach with your left hand. The lower limb movements are as follows.

Caption monkey picking has preventive and therapeutic effects on nervousness and depression.

In the new edition of Wuqinxi, picking the main ape should be regarded as a more complicated set of actions. In fact, after understanding the plot and scene of this action, you will find it not only difficult, but also quite interesting. Practitioners simulate a monkey picking peaches in the Woods. You see, first of all, the little monkey looked back and found a peach on the tree. He jumped forward and climbed up the tree with his claws. Then, after picking the peach, he stepped back and happily held it in his hand. Repeat this process, and the ape will take it off. How's it going? It's not hard to remember. Ok, now let's go back and see Ms. Wang. She said that she practiced the ape play and cured her cervical vertebra and back pain. What happened?

Ms. Wang has this cervical vertebra. When I first started doing it, my cervical spine just couldn't rotate that much, so I had to do it. Now you can see me turn, and you can hear the creaking sound inside when I turn. There is no such sound in it now. When you turn around, if you think there is something wrong with your cervical spine, there will be a creaking sound. I don't have this. It is very comfortable to retract completely.

Explain that people who have been working at their desks for a long time, especially those who should often do ape-lifting movements, shrug their shoulders and turn their heads like monkeys, and it will be difficult for your cervical spine to get sick again. So which action does Ms. Wang's waist problem benefit from?

Ms. Wang, I stared at the peach. When I come back, I'll leave. Look at this waist twist. It's good for my waist. Why do I always think this is good for my waist? It turns out that I have to stand for a long time and my back hurts. Standing like you for a long time hurts. How can I twist this waist now? You can see how I twisted it. It feels comfortable when you twist it.

Monkey Show, the host of Five Animals Show, solved three problems of Ms. Wang: hypertension, cervical spondylosis and low back pain. Ms. Wang is not only very happy, but also tells everyone that we have benefited a lot from it. If we don't have time to practice the whole set of Five Animals Play every day and learn some actions that are beneficial to us, it is also good to strengthen local practice. Just like today's monkey show, it's not only fun, but also good for cervical vertebrae and moving eyes. Next week, there will be the last scene of Wuqinxi-Bird Show. What role does it play? There is a Ms. Guo who will participate in our program. She said that she practiced bird play in Wuqinxi and knee joint disease. What happened? Next week, Chinese medicine will introduce the five-bird play to you. Don't miss it.
