It records 49 exercises. This illustration depictsBai qi chong ding(One hundred Qi rushing to the top of the head), a technique used to treat pain throughout the body. It is practised as follows: One sits on a high stool with straight legs and feet on the floor, and makes movements like bending a bow. One circulates Qi for 12 breaths. Wellcome Images |
