All the elementary and secondary schools' students are required to do it together. Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China requires that the eyes exercise should be practiced at least twice a day. ==History and development== In 1961, Beijing Education Bureau conducted a general investigation concerning vision of students in primary and secondary schools. The result of the investigation showed that number of students suffering from myopia was increasing when they were getting older. The investigation also found out 10% of the primary school students, 20% of the junior school students and 30% of the senior school students were shortsighted. Owing to this astonishing result, Beijing Education Bureau started to look for some solutions to help students protect their vision or even improve it. In that time, Liu Shiming, one of the head from Peking University Health Science Center, had invented an exercise with eight sections to protect human vision. Therefore, the Beijing Education Bureau adopted Liu's invention as the original eyes exercise. In 1963, Beijing Education Bureau attempt to use exercise in some primary and secondary schools and then widely introduced it in Beijing. Following the example of Beijing Education Bureau, other Chinese countries also introduced eyes exercise in primary and secondary schools.As the eyes exercise were widely practiced all over China, the second version of eyes exercise with five sections came out. In 1972, the section of eyes exercise is reduced to four and this fourth-section eyes exercise had been used until 2008 In 2008, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education and Beijing Municipal Commission of Health worked together to improve the version created in 1972 and introduced a new version. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eyes exercise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
