Wild Goose (Da Yan) Qi Gong

         Contemporary Disseminator: Yang Meijun

            Dayan(wild goose) is a bird of longevity with high-energy.  Qi Gong  refers to a kind the physical motion which can stimulate  the bio-energy field of the human body. This energy can improve one's physical and mental function, maintain health and even fight diseases and cure sickness . Dayan Qi Gong obtained its name from the imitation of the movements, habits and characteristics of wild geese.

           Dayan Qi Gong belonging to the Taoist Kunlun School originated in  the Jin Dynasty and has been in circulation for more than 1000 years .

          For a long time, Dayan Qi Gong was passed on secretly in the Taoist school. It has a system consisting of more than 70 sets of  motional  and motionless  methods.  The practice of Dayan Gong may result  in curing sickness, reaping  good  health, promising longevity, and  increasing intelligence, eventually  bringing about an overall improvement in physical and mental functions.

        The contemporary disseminator of Dayan Qi Gong is Master Yang Meijun, the famous Qi Gong master.  She  inherited all the techniques and theories of this Kunlun  Qi Gong school from her father.  She began to  teach it in 1980.   So far she has taught  23 styles of  Gong  techniques  including  the first  and  second 64 postures,  patting Gong, the five element Gong, etc.

        In order to popularize Dayan Qi Gong and its many healthful benefits, the Chinese government Department of Physical Culture and Sports approved Dayan Qi Gong as "Qi  Gong  of China" and recommended that it be learned nationally.  Master Yang Meijun was appointed  Director of Special Commission for Dayan Qi Gong.  She was invited as a council member of China's Scientific Research Institution of Qi Gong, and is an  honorary advisor to Beijing Qi Gong Research Association and an honorary professor at many universities.

        Dayan Qi Gong is one of China's best Qi Gongs.  The first and second 64 postures are  two sets of basic techniques  modeled on the movements of wild geese. The  movements are dynamic and static. At the same time, they combine strength with grace. They bring beauty and gracefulness to the shape and carriage of the body and relaxation and freedom to the  movements. When the major channels (meridians) are dredged, a Qi field will be produce all over the body.  This Qi  field produces a  natural rich and pure energy that detoxifies the body.   The functions of the human body and the performances of Qi Gong will jump onto a higher level and the genuine Qi will return to Dan, a refined (tempered) 'Inner Dan.'

          Although the techniques of Dayan Qi Gong are unfathomable, they are simple and easy to learn, without contraindication and ill effects.

          Dayan Qi Gong gets at the root of things.  For example,  in combating diseases,  it  works for effecting  a permanent cure  by stimulating  and conducting all the principal channels (meridians) to enable the human body to function better  by  strengthening  the  nerves, regulating  the body fluid, adjusting the function of the viscera, balancing yin and yang.  Thus the body is able to  cure itself  of  various kinds of chronic diseases and such diseases  like cardiac symptoms,  illnesses in the nervous, respiratory, digestive and urinary systems . The Qi Gong is so effective that it can improve and in some cases heal  mental disorders, epilepsy, arthritis, dermatitis, gynecological diseases, diabetes, pancreatic diseases, uremia, meningitis, brain tumor, illnesses of the five sense organs, deafness, glaucoma, cataract.  A long practice of the Qi Gong may set one free from cancer and poisonous diseases.

          At present, Dayan Qi Gong has been popularized in most of the provinces and municipalities in the China with good results.
