From the book:
Perhaps because in ancient times China's Wudang Daoist Qigong was known for directing and guiding, spitting out and receiving, refining the breath, refining the dan, sinking the sight, and eliminating grain, it became known as an inner exercise. Very early, it achieved an extensive circulation among many people in China. In 1973 (CE) at Changsha, a painting on silk was unearthed from the Western Han dynasty tombs at Mawangdui with a "instructional guidance picture" in the center. It had approximately 44 types of distinct postures and gestures showing movements for refining the breath. The famous ancient medical doctor Hua Tuo taught the movements of the "Five Animal Frolics" to Wu Jin to promote healthy bodies, dispel disease, and prolong life. Zhuang Zi said: "Spit out the old, receive the new; the bear has strength and the bird extends. The person who practices also improves and cultivates the outer form." The person who practices China's Wudang Daoist Qigong exercise methods every day, (who) refines and cultivates the inner breath, (will find their) digestion improves, the blood vessels open, and they do not fall ill and deteriorate. Many hundred years of practice prove practicing Wudang Daoist Qigong treats and prevents disease, eliminates disease, strengthens the body, and prolongs life, - all of which are extremely important effects.
