Description
Xiuzhen miyao, a gymnastic (daoyin/qigong) text of unknown origin, was rediscovered and published with a preface by Wang Zai in 1513 (8th year of the Zhengde reign period of the Ming dynasty). It records 49 exercises. This illustration depicts a technique for treating dizziness. It is practised as follows: One sits upright, clasping the head in both hands, and using one's gong power, circulates Qi for 17 breaths.
