General Yue Fei saw that Song Bing was eight thousand miles away, and his morale was low. In order to strengthen their physique and improve their morale, he ordered a general named Niu to draw up a set of kung fu and practice collectively. This set of kungfu consists of eight movements, so it is called Baduanjin. In fact, until today, it is still inconclusive who and when Baduanjin was created.
Baduanjin is not a kind of boxing, but an excellent health-keeping and fitness method. Its movements are simple and elegant, consisting of eight movements, hence the name. Baduanjin was formed in about12nd century and can be divided into standing baduanjin and sitting baduanjin. Standing Baduanjin, also known as Hubajin, is mostly in the form of "horse stance just look" or "vertical stance", commonly known as "Northern School", which is more suitable for young people and people with abundant physical strength to practice. Sitting in Baduan Brocade, also known as Wen Baduan Brocade, is mostly sitting, paying attention to concentration and qi, commonly known as Nanpai, which is suitable for the elderly and infirm to practice.
