The Taiqing Daoyin Health-preserving Scripture included the qi-circulation methods of toad and fish turtle, the immortal reclining method of Pengzugu, and the methods of treating various diseases with qi holding. These methods might help to preserve one's health, but it did not explicitly mention that they could achieve immortality. However, judging from the methods recorded, the Qi-circulation method, the reclining method, and the Qi-holding method might promote health by regulating the body's functions and the circulation of qi. For example, the Qi-circulation method might involve the regulation of breathing. For example, in the Taoist concept of Qi submission, breathing through the nose, mouth, and mouth, and breathing thin, long, deep, and even, etc., could promote the circulation of qi and blood in the body by adjusting the rhythm and method of breathing. The method of holding one's breath to treat various diseases might be to use a special method of breathing regulation to deal with diseases, so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation to a certain extent. However, these methods were not the same as methods of not aging. At present, there was no scientific evidence to prove that it could achieve immortality.
The Taiqing Daoyin Health-preserving Classic had a version with Ding Guangdi's annotations and was published by the China Traditional Chinese Medicine Press in 1993.

Masao Hayashima (Hayashima Tenra) had systematically developed the Daoyin Technique. In the process of studying many kinds of martial arts, he established the Taoist's "dynamic skill". This form of martial arts was integrated with the Daoyin technique, becoming a system that integrated martial arts, fitness methods, and medical skills. The contents related to Hayashima Masao's health guidance technique might be included in the Art of Bodybuilding and Longevity. For example, the morning guidance technique covered the guidance after waking up, in the toilet, washing your face, looking in the mirror, and other different scenarios. The purpose of these guidance techniques might be related to promoting the normal functioning of the body and health care, such as venous circulation to help clear the mind, squeezing out toxins, improving defecation, preventing aging diseases, etc.

There were the following ways to preserve jade: 1. ** Storage environment ** - Jade articles were recommended to be stored separately because the texture of jade was relatively fragile. If it collided with other gemstones, it would easily cause cracks or damage, thus reducing its value. - Jade collections should generally be placed in a relatively closed and humid environment to avoid being too dry or being exposed to the sun for a long time. In order to better preserve jade artifacts, especially ancient jade collections, it was best to store them in a constant temperature and humidity environment. 2. ** Daily maintenance ** - If it was jade, it could be soaked in water for 30 minutes before being washed and dried. Then, it could be placed in a sealed bag and stored in a cool and dry place. If it was Hetian jade, especially the seed material, it could be washed and dried with water (it was best to use pure water). Then, it could be dipped in a small amount of jade maintenance oil (water wax is also possible) with a clean fine brush and evenly applied to the jade. After that, it could be placed in a sealed bag, then placed in jewelry or packaging box and stored in a cool and dry place. - For example, when a jade bracelet was not worn for a long time, a layer of light colorless oil could be applied on the surface of the jade. The oil should not be applied too much, just a little thinner. Then, the jade coated with oil should be packed in a sealed plastic bag to avoid being contaminated with dust. - The best way to maintain it was to wear it or play with it. For Hetian jade, it could fully absorb the body's oil (note that it was not sweat or oil). When playing, it was necessary to keep the hands clean. Often playing with it could form a layer of oily pulp on the surface. 3. ** Points to note ** - To avoid collisions, especially on hard marble tables and floors. - It was best to avoid wearing it when bathing to prevent the chemicals in the soap and shower gel from seeping into the jade surface and causing damage. - When dirt or oil stains were attached to the jade surface, they should be washed with warm dishwashing liquid and then rinsed with clean water. - Every half a year to a year, the bracelet or lanyard needed to be changed to prevent it from falling off and breaking. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The Mawangdui Daoyin Technique was the oldest fitness method recorded in China, and it could be said to be the treasure of Chinese martial arts. It was based on the movements in the Daoyin Map unearthed from the Han Tomb at Mawangdui, Changsha, Hunan Province. Its main features included: The main characteristics of the exercise are to guide the body along the meridians and follow the form and intention. The movements are designed around the opening and closing of the limbs, the rotation of the limbs, the extension of the limbs, and the stretching of the muscles and bones. The movements are beautiful, smooth, and easy to learn. The whole exercise takes about 19 minutes, suitable for the general public, especially the middle-aged and elderly people. The breathing is natural. The form guides the qi and the intention guides the qi. When the movements are practiced, the tension is alternated. It is relaxed and round. The form and intention follow each other, and the body and mind are one. It also combined the qi and blood circulation route and the muscle stretching movement method in the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The twelve movements corresponded to the twelve main meridians in the meridian theory and were arranged according to the order of qi and blood flow in the meridians. The Mawangdui Daoyin Technique had many effects. For example, it could dredge the meridians, harmonize the blood and Qi, and achieve Yin and Yang secrets, thus strengthening the body and prolonging life. Different moves corresponded to different meridian exercises and had different health effects. For example,"Drawing the Bow" exercised the lung meridian of hand taiyin, which could soothe the liver and disperse the lung, and had a certain effect on chronic rheumatism."Guiding the back" exercised the large intestine meridian of hand yangming, which could activate the shoulder and neck, relax the chest and hypochondrium, and so on. After years of careful research, Professor Qiu Pixiang, a Ph.D. tutor of martial arts at the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education, had categorized the moves into three series of thirty-two movements.
The breathing method of Mawangdui Daoyin Technique was as follows: 1. Breathe in when you raise your arms and exhale when you open your arms. 2. Breathe in when you stretch your arms and exhale when you turn your palms down. 3. Inhale when lifting the heel and lifting the handle, exhale when rubbing the heel.
The Taiyi Massage Daoyin Technique originated from the Zhengyi Sect of China Taoism. It was a kind of health cultivation method that could promote the circulation of blood and qi in the whole body. It could deeply exercise the 12 meridians, 365 acupoints, internal organs, and even internal functional tissues such as the inner ear and nasal mucus. The key points were relaxation and a smile on the face. Relaxation could make the body enter the state, stimulate the subconscious, and stimulate the body's self-healing potential through movements. People with different physiques and affected parts would have different situations when exercising, and the body would automatically adjust. Smiling on the face was a positive consciousness, which could create a pleasant environment and improve the effect of practicing. This cultivation method had 15 movements, including rubbing the face with air (can be used for beauty, promote blood circulation in the face, etc.), pinching the nose (can move deep into the nasal mucus membrane to treat nasal sensitivity and other nose problems) and other movements, as well as their corresponding effects. There was also Wudang Taiyi Five Elements Technique, commonly known as Wudang Taiyi Five Elements Daoyin Technique. It was an auxiliary technique of Wudang's alchemy method. It mainly focused on guiding and was an important example of Wudang's alchemy method to attract qi through form. Its function was to strengthen the functions of the five internal organs through physical movements and provide assistance for refining pills internally. It included the preparatory stance and various postures, such as the True Essence Internal Strengthening stance (related to kidney function, the kidney being in charge of storing essence), the hand supporting the bright moon stance (opening the lung meridian of Taiyin, guiding the lung qi, etc.), the sky supporting the scissors stance (adjusting the spleen and stomach), the overlord lifting the tripod stance (making the triple energizer unobstructed), etc.
