## What is Health?

Three treasures for health cultivation: Energy, breath, sprit. Health cultivation qigong includes six parts that are wuqinxi, Liu Zi Jue, Baduanjin, Yijinjin, xisuijin,Tai Ji Yang Sheng Zhang. It aims at building a healthy and strong body and avoids the illness by the traditional methods of cultivating heath. It has the function of prolonging life for elderly to excises in long time. Do you want to be the hundred- longevity? It will not just a dream.

This product is composed by video (movements, tips and exercise), picture exhibition and words explanation. So it is easy for the learners to understand and exercise.

Hua Tuo developed the Wuqinxi (Wade-Giles: Wu-chin-hsi; 五禽戲; lit. "Exercise of the Five Animals") from studying movements of the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and crane.

The Six Healing Sounds or Liu Zi Jue (六字訣) is one of the common forms of Chinese qigong, and involves the coordination of movement and breathing patterns with specific sounds.

The Term Liu Zi Jue first appears in a book called On Caring for the Health of the Mind and Prolonging the Life Span written by Tao Hongjing of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420 - 589). A leading figure of the Maoshan School of Taoism, Tao was renowned for his profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "One has only one way for inhalation but six for exhalation" he writes in the book.

The Baduanjin qigong 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 and others, 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

The Yijin Jing (simplified Chinese: 易筋经; traditional Chinese: 易筋經; pinyin: Yìjīnjīng; Wade–Giles: I Chin Ching; literally "Muscle/Tendon Change Classic") is a Qigong manual containing a series of exercises, coordinated with specific breathing and mental concentration, said to enhance physical health dramatically when practiced consistently. In Chinese yi means change, jin means "tendons and sinews", while jing means "methods". This is a relatively intense form of exercise that aims at strengthening the muscles and tendons, so promoting strength and flexibility, speed and stamina, balance and coordination of the body. In the modern day there are many translations and distinct sets of exercises all said to be derived from the original (the provenance of which is the subject of some debate). These exercises are notable for being a key element of the physical conditioning used in Shaolin training.

### 1/5 — Instruction only in Chinese

*2014-12-06*

While the description says the app is in English and Chinese, that really only applies to the first screen.  This is the screen where you can do all the in-app purchases of the various routines.  After that, all the screens and instructions for the purchased routines are only in Chinese.  Very misleading.  If you don't understand and read Chinese, don't bother downloading this app.

### 1/5 — .

*2013-08-20*

Would be nice if it was in English.
Don't know what it's doing in the UK App Store.
So pretty useless until I can learn to read mandarin.
