Baduanjin qigong : ウィキペディア英語版 | Baduanjin qigong
The Baduanjin qigong(八段錦) is one of the most common forms of Chinese qigong used as exercise. Variously translated as Eight Pieces of Brocade, Eight-Section Brocade, Eight Silken Movements or Eight Silk Weaving, the name of the form generally refers to how the eight individual movements of the form characterize and impart a silken quality (like that of a piece of brocade) to the body and its energy. The Baduanjin is primarily designated as a form of medical qigong, meant to improve health. This is in contrast to religious or martial forms of qigong. However, this categorization does not preclude the form's use by martial artists as a supplementary exercise, and this practice is frequent.〔 ==History==
This exercise is mentioned in several encyclopedias originating from the Song Dynasty. The ''Pivot of the Way'' (Dao Shi, c. 1150) describes an archaic form of this qigong. The ''Ten Compilations on Cultivating Perfection'' (Xiuzhen shi-shu, c. 1300) features illustrations of all eight movements. The same work assigns the creation of this exercise to two of the Eight Immortals, namely Zhongli Quan and Lü Dongbin.〔 The exercise was later expanded from eight to twelve movements over the centuries and was described in the boxing manual ''Illustrated Exposition of Internal Techniques'' (1882) by Wang Zuyuan, a famed practitioner of the ''Sinew Changing Classic'' set.〔 Nineteenth century sources attribute the style to semi-legendary Chinese folk hero General Yue Fei,〔Shahar, ''The Shaolin Monastery'', p. 168〕 and describe it as being created as a form of exercise for his soldiers. The legend states he taught the exercise to his men to help keep their bodies strong and well-prepared for battle. Martial historian Prof. Meir Shahar notes Yue's mention as a lineage master in the second preface of the ''Sinew Changing Classic'' manual (1624) is the reason why he was attributed as the creator of Baduanjin qigong.〔
