Features: Qigong is a fitness method alongside Tai Chi and Five Animals Exercise, created by Zhong Lianquan in the Tang Dynasty. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, harmonizing qi, softening the body, strengthening the body, enhancing intelligence, refreshing the mind, and calming the spirit. This book features live demonstrations and teachings by martial arts master Li Jinlong, accompanied by two CDs, making it extremely valuable. It plays a unique role in health maintenance in modern life. However, traditional Chinese fitness practices, due to their long history and integration of traditional culture (including Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, and medical philosophies), are quite rich and complex. For example, Qigong is such a practice—it is ancient and profound, and many practitioners do not fully understand it. Today, we aim to provide a basic understanding of Qigong through discussions on its history, principles, and methods, helping everyone practice it better. The launch of this program by "Healthy Way" holds significant meaning.
