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.

Qigong




Qigong: Qigong, chi kung, or chi gung (气功 or 氣功) (pronounced "chee-gung", literally "life energy cultivation") is a practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation.

Sounds familiar to me!
