 The Daoyin Yangsheng Gong is a Qigong system put together recently aimed especially at the prevention and treatment of illness. As well as different Qigong methods mainly for regulating certain organs such as the heart or the lungs there are also Taijiquan and weapon forms in Daoyin Yangsheng Gong. In an interview with Martin Pentzialek, Professor Zhang Guang De explains how, due to a life threatening illness, he came to create Qigong practises and this system. The combination of movement and concentration on certain acupuncture points or meridians as well as spiral movements aimed at influencing certain points are the characteristics of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong. Professor Zhang also tells us about successes in clinical applications for different malfunctions of the hormonal, coronary and nervous systems, joint complaints and chronic diseases and defines the conditions necessary while practising.
Professor Zhang Guang De is the founder of the Qigong system "Daoyin Yangsheng Gong" (DYYSG). At the Daoyin Yangsheng Gong Centre at the University of Physical Education in Beijing, Professor Zhang and his staff have developed more than 30 exercises which can be used in health care as well as the treatment of diseases. The system is now taught in many countries including Japan, Australia, Singapore, Spain, France, Belgium, Great Britain and Germany. Besides the Qigong exercises, the Daoyin Yangsheng Gong system also includes three Taiji palm forms as well as weapon forms with sword and staff.
Professor Zhang Guang De was born in Thangshan in the province Hebei in 1932. In his youth he enthusiastically practised Chinese martial arts (Wushu) and entered the Wushu Institute at Beijing University of Physical Education in 1955. After successfully finishing his studies in 1959 he lectured at Beijing University of Physical Education and a few years later he was one of the first Professors of Wushu at a Chinese University.
Martin Pendzialek: Professor Zhang, Since 1974 you have been developing the Qigong system "Daoyin Yangsheng Gong". What were the reasons for establishing these exercises?
Zhang Guang De: This is a long story. At the end of the Chinese Cultural Revolution I became seriously ill. Nearly all my organs were affected: I suffered from high blood pressure, disorders of the cardiovascular and digestive systems, hepatitis and tuberculosis and the blood, so things looked pretty bad for me. My doctor told me that medicine alone would not be enough for a successful treatment of these diseases. He recommended that I use in addition my experiences in Wushu and Taijiquan to support my treatment. At the beginning I developed eight exercises to treat my tuberculosis; this was the basis for the following "Exercise of 49 Movements to Stimulate Qi in the Meridians”. At this time I was only able to lie in bed. In this life-threatening situation I used medicines and these simple exercises until I recovered sufficiently for rehabilitation.
