The origin of wuqinxi

Wuqinxi was created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty, and it is an important achievement of traditional health guidance in China. 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. Five-animal play includes tiger play, deer play, bear play, ape play and bird play.

Tiger style: stand naturally, bend over, press your hands to the ground, lean forward and inhale. After the current reaches the peak, pause for a moment, then retract and exhale, and so on for three times. Then move your hands forward from left to right, and move your feet backward at the same time to stretch your waist as much as possible, then look up at the sky and then look down. Finally, climb seven steps forward and seven steps backward like a tiger.

Lu Xiu: Ground all limbs, inhale, turn head and neck to the left, and look back to the right. When you turn left to the extreme, stop for a while, exhale, turn your head and neck, inhale again when you turn to the ground, and continue to turn right, as in the previous method. Turn left three times, turn right twice, and finally return to momentum. Then, lift your left leg and stretch it backwards. After the pause, put down your left leg and lift your right leg, stretching as usual. In this way, the left leg is extended three times and the right leg is extended twice.
