The Origin and Development of the Eight-Duan Brocade of Taoism
The Dao Sect's Eight Duan Brocade originated from the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a set of Dao Yin cultivation methods passed down and practiced in the Dao Sect system of Wudang Mountain. Its development had a certain connection with the overall development of Ba Duan Jin. The Eight Duan Brocade originated from the Western Han Dynasty. In 1972, there was a Daoyin Map unearthed in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province. At least four of them were similar to the Eight Duan Brocade Map, so it could be inferred that the Eight Duan Brocade had a certain origin relationship with the Daoyin Map. Tao Hongjing of the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty had similar movements with the Eight Duan Brocade, which could be regarded as the embryonic form of the Eight Duan Brocade. The name "Ba Duan Jin" first appeared in the Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the folk had already become popular with "virtual suction massage" similar to the Ba Duan Jin. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a volume of "Ba Duan Jin" in the library catalog. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Daoist asked Xu Xun of the Jin Dynasty to compile the Spiritual Sword Zi Daoyin Zi Wu Formula, which was the first time to change the eight-piece brocade text into the form of a song. It was an important milestone in the formation of the eight-piece brocade cultivation method system. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Eight Duan Brocade matured and paid more attention to internal cultivation. Modern Ba Duan Jin was improved on the basis of tradition and was more suitable for modern people's physical condition and pace of life. The Eight Duan Brocade of Dao Sect had also been passed down to this day with the development of the Eight Duan Brocade. It still played its role in health preservation in modern times. For example, in the modern health craze, the Eight Duan Brocade of Dao Sect had the effect of improving sleep, strengthening the body, dispelling moisture, relieving stress, and improving mood.
