Doing exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But the novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）has kept millions of people from taking part in outdoor activities since late January. As a result, indoor activities have become an important way for people to keep healthy, especially during a special time like this.
These days, the sports community, medical experts and public health officials have all been actively suggesting indoor exercise to help people fight against the novel coronavirus. And ba duan jin, an easy-to-learn qigong exercise, is among the most popular exercises. After doing the exercise, people may feel like they are wearing a dress made of silk fabric, so it’s also called Eight Pieces of Brocade（锦缎）.
Created nearly a thousand years ago, ba duan jin has been practiced for centuries in China. Nowadays, it is almost as popular as Tai chi, especially among the old. The exercise doesn’t require much space or time. As long as people master special breathing and concentration（专注） skills, ba duan jin can help them keep both the body and mind healthy with eight well-designed movements.
This kind of qigong focuses on（聚焦于）the breathing. Through deep and slow breathing skills, it will allow the muscles to relax and empty the mind of all thoughts. The brain will get a chance to rest, and more oxygen will reach.
Ba duan jin is reported to be helpful to many health problems. What’s more, it can be learnt without a teacher. Although it may be practised by following a few pictures and instructions, success really depends on concentration, relaxation and daily practice.
