Slow-moving Qigong has been the old people’s favorite sport, but in the past several years it has become popular among Chinese young people. Short videos of young Chinese doing traditional fitness Qigong have come into video websites in large numbers, among which a video of Baduanjin has been played for more than 10 million times and received over 6,000 comments on Bilibili.
Baduanjin is one of the oldest fitness methods to stay healthy in China, which was first created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The name mentions that how the eight movements provide a soft quality for the movement of the body.
Compared with other sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually played to restful music, so it used to be considered as the sport for the elders. However, it’s perfect for office workers, as they often suffer from back and neck pain which is caused by sitting in front of computers for hours. And it doesn’t require much space, equipment or time.
“I have been doing Baduanjin for about four months, which makes me sleep well and get stronger. Thanks to Baduanjin, I have a much healthier lifestyle, “28-year-old Li Rui commented below the video which received some 400 likes.

【推荐3】This wonderful body of mine is the house in which I live. This house has a kitchen called the stomach. Here the food is cooked, or “digested(消化)”, and prepared for being mixed with the blood. There is also a great pump(泵), the heart, which sends the blood through the house to keep it warm and in good condition. The head is the room where the owner of the house lives.
We should learn all about this house, and know how to keep it in good order. We should find out what is bad for it and what is good.
The first lesson on health that I have to learn is this: I must keep my body clean. Much of the dirt on the body comes not from the outside, but from the inside of the body. The skin is full of little pores(皮肤上的毛孔), through which the body gets rid of its waste. You see, that’s why it is necessary to keep the skin clean.
The second health lesson is: I must breathe fresh air. If a man can’t get air to breathe, he will die. But that is not all. Impure(不洁的) air is bad for him. Because the air contains oxygen and plenty of this gas must be taken into the blood, or else we can’t remain in good health when we breathe. The air passes down into the lungs and meets with the blood there.
The third health lesson is: I must take plenty of exercise. To make the body strong, we must use it. The parts that are most used become the strongest, and those used least will be the weakest. The boy who works and plays in the open air grows strong and healthy, while the boy who sits indoors and doesn’t take exercise often grows weak and unhealthy.
