About the Event
Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) – The Five Animal Frolics (Play) can be regarded as the earliest form of Medical Qigong in Chinese history, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).
The creation of Wu Qin Xi was attributed to the famous Chinese Physician and Surgeon Hua Tuo (110-207) who had great skills as a surgeon, acupuncturist, herbalist and knowledge of human anatomy. He is also believed to be the first person in the world to have developed the use of anaesthesia.
Besides treating his patients when they were ill, Hua Tuo was also keen to recommend physical exercises for people as a method of rehabilitation, recovery, and most importantly for prevention. Wu Qin Xi is a set of Daoyin (deep stretching) and Tu Na (deep breathing) exercise that imitates the actions of animals based on the habits of the tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird.
Embrace your inner animal!
