Then the right palm is pulled to the right in front of the shoulder, the left palm is a splayed palm, the left arm is rotated inward, pushed to the left, shoulder-high, and at the same time, the legs kneel down for a while, the movement stops for a while, and the left front is visually observed.

The center of gravity moves to the right, the hands become natural palms, the right hand draws an arc to the right, shoulder-high, the palm leans forward, and the center of gravity continues to move to the right. Take back your left foot and stand in step. At the same time, put your palms in front of your abdomen, palms up and look forward.

When doing the last action for the third time, the center of gravity of the body continues to move to the left, and the right foot is retracted to stand in an open step, and the knee joint is slightly flexed; At the same time, put down your palm, hold it in front of your abdomen and look forward.

The earliest record:

The earliest existing written records prove that Baduanjin had spread all over the world in the Northern Song Dynasty. Baduanjin can be divided into standing posture and sitting posture. Standing posture requires both feet to be shoulder-width, and sitting posture requires sitting cross-legged, and the specific movements are different.

In genre, it is divided into South School and North School. The southern faction is mainly soft, so it is also called "Wen Ba Duan", while the northern faction is mainly rigid, so it is also called "Wu Ba Duan". But no matter what posture or genre, Ba Duan Jin is composed of eight movements, each movement is called a "segment", and each movement must be repeated many times.

Baduanjin is slow and suitable for all ages, and is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people. Baduanjin's main associations include the Fitness Qigong Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, the China Fitness Qigong Association and the International Fitness Qigong Federation.

The main events are World Fitness Qigong Exchange Competition, China International Fitness Qigong Exchange Competition and National Fitness Qigong Baduanjin Exchange Competition. Representative figures include Yang Bailong, Cui Shunyi and Hou Wen.
