Wudang Mountain is a famous Taoist sacred place in China. "My life is in my own hands, not in the universe." In the process of actively exploring life sciences, Taoism has given birth to many outstanding achievements. The "Five Elements Health Preservation Secret Art of Wudang Taoist School" is a highly representative crystallization of health preservation culture among them.
The "Five Elements" is an important philosophical viewpoint in the ancient Chinese theory of world formation. It holds that Taiji is a combination of Yin and Yang energies. From Taiji, Yin and Yang energies are differentiated, and when they blend, the Five Elements and all things with specific forms are born. Ancient philosophers believed that "wood, fire, earth, metal and water", as the five fundamental elements that constitute all things, inherently possess the attribute of movement and change. The core characteristics of the Five Elements are mutual opposition, mutual cooperation and cyclical operation, which in turn give rise to various changes in things.
Ancient medicine also introduced the Five Elements theory, matching the "wood, fire, earth, metal and water" that constitute all things in the world with the "liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney" five internal organs of the human body, the "eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ears" five senses, and the "tendons, meridians, flesh, skin and bones" five body types. It is clearly pointed out that health preservation and care must follow the laws of the Five Elements, and in following the laws of the Five Elements, it is essential to achieve dialectical moderation. From this, it can be seen that the Five Elements Health Preservation Secret Techniques of Wudang Taoist School have a profound foundation in traditional Chinese culture and are classic health preservation methods originated from Wudang Taoist School and used for self-cultivation and refinement.
Mr. Liu Deyi is the sole inheritor of this set of health preservation exercises. In 2002 AD, Mr. Liu was already 81 years old. He had been practicing this set of exercises since childhood and had persisted in it for decades without interruption. Not only did he fully inherit this excellent health-preserving exercise, but he also personally verified its remarkable health-preserving effects - at the age of 80, he still had sharp hearing and vision, supple muscles and bones, and a vigorous spirit. The outstanding effects of the exercise were fully demonstrated in him.
This set of exercises by Mr. Liu was personally passed down by his father, Liu Yurong. Mr. Liu Yurong is from Dengzhou, Henan Province. He became a monk of the Wudang Taoist School at a young age and has been practicing at the Three Heavenly Gates of Wudang Mountain. In his middle age, Mr. Liu Yurong returned to lay life and settled in Yunxi County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province. After getting rich through business, he established the Yunxi Charity Association and has been dedicated to building Bridges and roads, helping the poor and those in need, and releasing living beings with virtue for many years. He has a good reputation and is an active practitioner of the Wudang Taoist concept that "to achieve perfection in the way of immortality, one must first achieve perfection in the way of humanity." From this, it can be known that this set of Five Elements health preservation secret exercises originated from the Wudang Taoist School. Every move, every form, and every principle and method are passed down in their original form and are of extremely precious value.
The current set of exercises that have been excavated and sorted out includes five major postures: massage, standing, cross-sitting, cross-lying, and straight lying. Each postures strictly follow the principles of human physiology and hygiene, with "the cultivation of the dantian's transformation and transportation as the core, the smooth flow of meridians, qi, blood, and body fluids as the foreruner, and the improvement of the function of the gonadal system as the focus". They have the unique effects of enhancing vitality and prolonging life by preventing diseases.
Thanks to the strong support of the Wudang Mountain Taoist Association and the trust and love of Mr. Liu Deyi for China Wudang Network, this complete set of exercises has been fully launched and demonstrated by Mr. Liu himself. It is believed that the promotion of the Five Elements Health Preservation secrets of Wudang Taoist School to society will surely contribute to the promotion of China's excellent traditional culture, the development of the national fitness cause, and make contributions to human health and well-being.
