Baduanjin wins hearts of young Chinese

No one expected that Baduanjin would become popular among young Chinese people.

In the past couple of years, an online teaching video of Baduanjin, a form of Qigong, has been played for more than 10 million times, “I have been doing Baduanjin for about four months.     1     I like Baduanjin very much because it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young man said.

Baduanjin is one of the oldest health and fitness methods in China, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. Its name is made up of two parts, namely “baduan” and “jin”.

    2     And the second part refers to the stretch and grace of the movements.

Compared to sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually played with soft music.     3    

    4     It helped kill their neck and back pain after long working hours while not requiring much effort, time and space. Sun Yuxuan, a college student majoring in martial arts, has also noticed the rising popularity of Baduanjin. The 21-year-old girl has been teaching other students to practice for over three years.

8 . Livestreaming (直播) has become very common in China. Viewers can interact with hosts by messaging them, buying them gifts, or sending them tips(打赏).

However, some children are spending too much money on livestream platforms. Earlier this year, a 17-year-old boy in Jingmen, Hubei province, sent tips that added up to 150, 000 yuan to a host, said Chutian Metropolis Daily. That sum of money was his parents’ life savings.

To prevent things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new rule on Nov. 23 to better manage livestreaming services.

The rule bans children from tipping or sending gifts to livestream hosts and performers. It also requires people to log on livestreaming sites with their real names. This new regulation has been welcomed by parents. According to Legal Daily, about one-fifth of five stream viewers in 2019 were children.

“Online shows and livestreaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become addicted to them or do something that is harmful to his growth.” said Wang Haifeng, a mother of a 15-year-old boy in Beijing. “Stricter management makes me feel safer.”

In addition to the rule, there are some other measures that will be put in place to help manage livestreaming services.

For example, livestreaming platforms will be required to put a limit on how much money people can send to livestreamers. Once the limit is reached, viewers will not be able to send gifts or tips.

Other rules include stopping livestreaming platforms from encouraging viewers to send gifts or tips. Any host who is found doing this will be added to a blacklist, China Daily reported.
