Baduanjin: Ancient Chinese exercise gains modern popularity #CGTN

Baduanjin, which translates to “Eight Pieces of Brocade,” is a traditional Chinese exercise consisting of eight distinct movements. The name reflects how these movements are elegantly woven together, much like the intricate patterns of ornate brocade fabric. It is also one of the qigong mass performances featured at the 15th National Games of China, designed to showcase the essence of traditional health-preserving practices. The 15th National Games, scheduled to be held from November 9 to 21, aim to promote healthy lifestyles and encourage nationwide fitness participation.
