As related to life in a Chinese garden & penjing scene...
In brief and simplistically stated…
Medical qigong is the cultivation of energy specifically for health preservation and restoration.
It is one of the three main schools of qigong; martial, medical, and spiritual…
We, at Chinese Garden Scene;
are going to focus on Medical qigong, for Chinese gardens.
Why ?
Because, it is a cornerstone of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ;
being acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical massage and medical qigong.
It consists of techniques that relax and integrate the mind and body, and strengthen the body's tissues and organ functions.
Also, because Chinese gardens & penjing;
are peaceable places of refreshment, serenity and tranquility...
We, at Chinese Garden Scene, therefore believe, it to be more fitting an environment for Medical Qigong, than the martial type qigong and associated Tai Chi, which with respect to their practitioners;
are probably better suited for specific tuition, competition and display facilities ( perhaps including courtyards ) - beyond the walls of Chinese gardens.
Six Healing Sounds - is a practice form focusing on breathing, with routines; originating in Taoist and TCM schools of the Southern and Northern dynasties and further developed in the Tong & Song dynasties. The more modern form Liu Zi Jue matured in the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Frolics of Five Animals - has the objective of enhancing fitness, good health & longevity; and stems from more than 2000 years ago in Changsha, Hunan Province of China.
