Daoyintu











The "Guiding and Pulling" Chart (Daoyintu) was found in Mawangdui (Tomb No. 3) It shows forty-four people—men and women, young and old—engaged in a kind of gymnastics believed to heal some diseases and extend life. The chart is considered the ancestor of the exercises called Qigong.
