Starting in the Song dynasty, Baduanjin is a traditional Chinese exercise with more than 800 years long history. It’s a symbol of Chinese culture, and there are 8 movements (动作) in total. At the same time, people may feel like they are wearing a dress made of soft silk after doing the exercise, so it’s also called “Eight Pieces of Silk”.

Baduanjin is slow and played with light music. People only need to wear comfortable clothes, socks and shoes before doing it. Although it is simple and easy to learn, it works well. It used to be popular with the old. However, more and more young Chinese have fallen in love with it because they think it can help them keep both the body and mind healthy. In fact, it’s also perfect for students and teachers, as they often get lower back and hurt their necks by hours sitting in front of the desk. Doing Baduanjin is a good choice to help them relax and sleep well.

Based on Chinese traditional medicine, each movement has its own advantage (益处) in making sickness in different physical areas go away. For example, the first movement “Two hands supporting the sky” is helpful to the headache, backache and so on. The fifth movement “Shaking the head and tail” helps you to lower the stress and relax your back and neck.

Baduanjin can be learnt easily without a teacher. Once you have learnt it, it is best practiced in the morning or evening in the fresh air. But not all people are right for practicing Baduanjin. People who are weak and easily fall should not take up this exercise.
