They are also known as the Eight Silken Movements, The Eight Treasures Dao-yin, The Eight Pieces of Silken Brocade, Baduanjin, or Pa TuanChin. Whatever the name, they are a set of qigong movements that date back thousands of years. Just as there are many names for the Eight Brocades, there are various names for each of the movements and a variety of styles. You will also notice seated and standing versions of the movements. Remember, these movements have been passed down through the years, with each master having a slightly different style. The Eight Brocades are most often considered a medical qigong exercise set. You will see similarities between the Eight Brocades and the first eight movements of theEighteen Hands of the Lohan, which are a set of exercises taught to Buddhist monks at the Shaolin Temple in China. Because of this similarity, you will also read that the Eight Brocades are a martial arts qigong. This set of exercises is renowned for its holistic approach to health, promoting both physical fitness and mental well-being. The routine consists of eight distinct movements, each targeting different parts of the body and offering unique health benefits. It is suggested that you do the entire set at least once per day. Go at a pace and do the number of repetitions which matches your fitness and health level.Gradually, work up to eight repetitions of each movement. By completing these qigong movements, you should notice improved health, increased energy,reduced stress, a revitalized mind and body, improved balance, and an overall sense of well being. 助读词汇： 1.brocade [brəˈkeɪd] n.织锦；锦缎 2.originate [əˈrɪdʒɪneɪt] vi.起源（于） 3.version [ˈvɜːʃn] n.版本；变体 4.slightly [ˈslaɪtli] adv.稍微，略微地 5. similarity[ˌsɪmɪˈlærɪti] n.相似点; 类似性; 6.Buddhist [ˈbʊdɪst] adj.佛教的 7.martial arts [ˈmɑ:ʃl ˈɑ:ts] 武术 8. be renowned for 因......而著名 9. holistic approach 整体方法 10. repetition[ˌrepəˈtɪʃn] n. 重复；重做 11.revitalize [ˌri:ˈvaɪtəlaɪz] vt.使恢复（生机） 12. well being [ˈwel biːɪŋ] n 健康；幸福 双语学习Try Classic Indoor Exercise: Ba Duan Jin 室内经典运动：八段锦 【1】These days, the sports community, medical experts and public health officials have all been actively promoting indoor exercise.

Today, it is almost as popular as tai chi in China, especially among seniors. 八段锦的字面意思是 "八块锦缎"，是中国古人喜爱的一种室内健身运动或气功形式。如今，它在中国几乎与太极拳一样流行，尤其是在老年人中。 【3】Qigong, which combines qi, meaning energy, and gong, meaning exercise, is a term coined by the traditional Chinese physician Liu Guizhen (1902-83) in his 1953 book A Handbook of Qigong Therapy, describing classical regimen techniques or sports Chinese people have found highly effective in improving their health or enhancing their martial arts capabilities. 气功是中国传统医师刘贵珍（1902-1983 年）在其 1953 年出版的《气功疗法手册》中创造的一个术语，描述了气功对改善健康状况或提高武术能力的有效作用，且它是一门经典的养生技术或运动。 【4】The ba duan jin qigong exercise, which doesn't require much space or time, uses special breathing and concentration techniques to improve both the body and mind, with eight well-designed sequences of movement. 八段锦气功运动不需要太多的空间和时间，利用特殊的呼吸和集中技术，通过八个精心设计的动作序列来改善身心。 【5】Like other traditional regimens, ba duan jin has evolved with the times and has different versions.
