There are some Chinese words which have entirely different meanings but share a similar sound; therefore their Pinyin (Romanized Western) spellings are the same. This “Wu” is different from another "Wu Style"in Chinese. It is also known as Hao Style. It was created by Wu Yuxiang (1812-1880), and passed on to Hao Weizheng (1849-1920), who significantly contributed to the style. I had practiced Wu Hao Tai Chi many years ago, learning from Lieutenant Commander Michael Domzalski while in the US Navy in San Diego, CA.
Hao is not a well-known style. Its creators had studied both the Yang and Chen Style. Hao is characterised by slow and internally loose movements, which are close-knit in outward appearance. Great emphasis is placed on internal force and correct positioning. External movements and the transference of the substantial and insubstantial are controlled by internal power.
When looking at a high-level practitioner performing the Hao style, it appears larger and more rounded, as though it’s inner power has extended further than the outward physical shape.
Baduanjin is a traditional series of movements with a long history. The ancients compared this set of movements to "brocade", which symbolizes that the movements are soothing and graceful, as smooth as a brocade section. There are a total of 8 movements. The movements are gentle, neither urgent nor slow. No matter what age group you are, you can try it. It is a very suitable exercise for the whole family. Each exercise should be "not rushed nor slow, the upper and lower limbs should be relaxed and coordinated naturally, the movements should be gentle and relaxed", and the whole process should be connected "naturally". Starting from the first position of the Supporting the Sky, "Holding the Three Burners of Heavenly Power with Both Hands", it regulates the heart, lungs, spleen and stomach, liver and gallbladder, kidneys and genitourinary system from top to bottom, and finally ends with Gazing at the Stars- "The Qidian behind the back eliminates all diseases". Fully embody the idea of harmony between man and nature. .
Daoyin is a series of cognitive body and mind unity exercises practiced as a form of meditation and mindfulness to cultivate Jing (essence) and direct and refine Qi, the internal energy of the body according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These exercises are often divided into Yin positions (lying and sitting) and Yang positions (standing and moving). The practice of daoyin was a precursor of Qi Gong and was practiced in Chinese Taoist monasteries for health and spiritual cultivation. Daoyin is also said to be a primary formative ingredient in the well-known "soft styles" of the Chinese martial art of Tai Chi Chuan.
The main goal of daoyin is to create flexibility of the mind, thereby creating harmony between internal and external environments, which relaxes, replenishes and rejuvenates the body, developing in its practitioners a vital and healthy spirit.
In the West, daoyin is sometimes mistakenly equated with "daoist yoga" or "yin yoga" as "dao" (導) and "yin" (引) are mistakenly read as 'Dao' (道), as in "Daoism", and 'Yin' (阴), as in "Yin-Yang"
