The Historical Origin of Fitness Qigong Yi Jin Jing

While many people believe that Yi Jin Jing originated from the Shaolin Temple, they feel that the Dharma Masters came from India, and the Yi Jin Jing of India is the Yoga of the Body, which is very different from the Fitness Qigong Yi Jin Jing. Like the saying that the world martial arts out of Shaolin, is not the Chinese land in the Shaolin Temple before there is no martial arts? To know the Shaolin Temple was built in 495 AD in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the dynasty before the Northern Wei Dynasty have experienced countless wars, that period of the Chinese people must have practiced weapons to kill, unarmed combat and formations to eliminate the enemy, these are all part of the martial arts, earlier than the Shaolin Temple appeared it!

So, it is felt that it is more reliable to say this:

According to evidence, the guide is from the primitive society "witch dance" development, to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period has been for health practitioners must practice. Zhuangzi - carved in the "recorded:" blowing the breath, spit out the old and the new, bears through the bird Shen (stretching), for the life of only carry on. This guide of the Shi, the people of the shape, Peng Zu Shoukao of the good one." The Han Book - Arts and Letters Zhi" also contains "Huang Di miscellaneous sub-step cited" "Huang Di Manibu massage" and other related to the introduction of the contents of the introduction, indicating that all kinds of introduction of the Han Dynasty had flourished for a while.
