Dayan Qigong Practice
Form Guides Qi · Qi Follows Form · Mind Follows Qi
A supreme qigong secretly transmitted by the Kunlun School of Taoism, imitating the forms, movements, and habits of wild geese. Organized according to meridian operation principles. The 64 forms correspond to the 64 hexagrams of the Yijing, balancing hardness and softness with natural, expansive movements. Using “field effect” to unblock meridians, harmonize organs, eliminate deficiency and excess. Transmitted through 27 generations by Grandmaster Yang Meijun, with over a million practitioners worldwide.
Unique Characteristics of Dayan Qigong
Core features that distinguish it from other practices — Natural Wuwei, Field Effect
Field Effect · Internal-External Mutual Excitation
The essence of Dayan Qigong is “field effect” — the body’s internal energy field interacts with natural material particles, energy, and information from the external environment. Various movement structures and multiple static postures create different magnetic field shapes in the body. Through interactive changes, internal and external aspects mutually excite different energies and specific effects.

Form Guides Qi · Natural Breathing
Dayan Qigong does not advocate active breath regulation or subjective control of breathing rhythm and patterns. Let breathing be natural and comfortable. Beginners first practice form, using body shape to guide internal qi circulation — “form guides qi, qi follows form, mind follows qi.” In over 20 years of promotion, no practitioners have experienced deviation.

64 Forms Front & Back · Dual Cultivation of Elimination & Replenishment
The first 64 forms focus on detoxification and body cleansing — foundational practice for entering the path, mainly training the Three Dantians, fourteen meridians, and small/large heavenly circuits. The latter 64 forms focus on improving overall quality, comprehensively opening meridians, strengthening the entire body energy field. Combined practice achieves dual benefits of regulation and strengthening.

Dayan Qigong & Key Body Areas
Form-guided qi, field effect — precisely targeting the body areas modern people need most
Neck, Shoulders & Back
Cervical stiffness / shoulder and back soreness
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Spread Wings opens jiaji, corrects cervical spine, initiates heavenly circuit
- Around-head ear-twist rotates neck and shoulders, releases suboccipital三角筋膜
- Cloud Hands + Swish Waist combined with jiaji movement, shoulder blades naturally open-close
- Natural breathing without breath-holding, deep relaxation of neck-shoulder muscles
💡 Key Movements: Spread Wings + Around-Head Ear-Twist
During Spread Wings, lean back and hold position to open jiaji and correct cervical spine. Around-Head Ear-Twist is like wringing a towel, using waist as axis, right hand circles around shoulder, ear, to back of head — releases neck-shoulder fascia adhesions.
Waist & Kidneys
Lumbar muscle strain / kidney qi deficiency
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Fold Pit qi-filling at Guanyu directly tonifies kidney qi
- Back Wings Hegu touching Guanyu, palms up guide qi back to kidneys
- Swish Waist Tai Chi stretches and lengthens waist spine, enhances flexibility
- Eight-Character Waist Lifting specifically treats leg diseases, opens Ren/Du meridians
💡 Key Movements: Fold Pit Guanyu + Back Wings
During Fold Pit, arms embrace qi backward, bent elbows lift and pour qi into Guanyu points. During Back Wings, Hegu touches left-right Guanyu, palms up to draw earth’s qi upward to nourish kidneys — “strengthening waist and tonifying kidneys” is a core Six-Character effect.
Leg & Knee Joints
Arthritis / lower limb weakness / ankle pain
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Bounce Feet opens intercostal muscles, shoulder-elbow-hip coordination enhances lower limb strength
- Cross Water alternate tremor-swing, flexible knee and ankle joints
- Ankle pain patients can walk without wheelchair after practice (clinically verified)
- Find Nest wrist brace and press unblocks lower limb meridians, legs feel light
💡 Key Movements: Bounce Feet + Cross Water
During Bounce Feet, right hand pinches left foot toes, arm-elbow outward support drives shoulder-waist-hip twist. Elderly or weak can first point at foot without pinching toes. During Cross Water, both arms tremor-swing in arcs, alternating with bent-knee weight shifts — low-impact knee and ankle exercise.
Liver, Gallbladder, Spleen & Stomach
Chronic hepatitis / poor digestion
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Chronic hepatitis: results in 1 month, blood values normalize in 4-5 months
- Shake Wings drains liver-gallbladder-spleen-stomach pathogenic qi, vibratory expulsion
- Kunlun Twining Hands Bagua guides Ren/Du meridians, prominent effect on liver-gallbladder-spleen-kidney
- Open Chest Fragrance mainly trains middle dantian, treats liver-gallbladder digestive disorders
💡 Key Movements: Shake Wings + Twining Hands Bagua
During Shake Wings, both hands sweep forward along belt meridian, vibrate feet and hands to expel pathogenic qi, draining liver-gallbladder-spleen-stomach turbidity. Twining Hands Bagua combined with accepting-moving Bagua guides Ren/Du meridians and five zang-six fu organs, strengthening five-element transformation, enriching organ essence qi.
Heart, Lungs & Nervous System
Insomnia / neurasthenia / palpitations
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Front 64 forms have special effects on cardiovascular and neurological conditions
- Palms-together ten-finger crossing pours qi into Baihui, connects Ren/Du, reaches Yongquan
- Sleep & Return qi: full squat, eyes closed enter stillness, focus on lower dantian to calm mind
- Five-Element Static Qigong primarily treats heart and chest conditions, lowers liver qi, raises heart qi
💡 Key Movements: Palms-Together Guanyu + Sleep & Return
During Palms-Together, ten fingers cross and pour qi into Baihui, front through Ren meridian, back through Du meridian, down to Yongquan, enriching upper dantian to calm mind and sharpen intelligence. During Sleep & Return, full squat, eyes closed into stillness, five fingers together at navel sides, focus on lower dantian — “seeking stillness within movement” concludes and returns yuan qi.
Full Body Meridians & Qi-Blood
Qi-blood blockage / weak constitution
How Dayan Qigong Helps
- Full body “meridian energy field” and “organ energy field” simultaneously excited
- Open Laogong and Yongquan points, connect internal-external breath, eliminate deficiency and drain excess
- Latter 64 forms comprehensively open meridians, train full body “quality”
- Clap & Strike health technique expels qi, pours qi, open Baihui, connect Three Fields, regulate Three Jiaos
💡 Core Concept: Field Effect
Dayan Qigong’s various movement structures create different magnetic field shapes in the body. Through interactive changes, internal and external mutually excite — “qi moves then blood moves, qi stagnates then blood stagnates.” Through movement guidance, internal qi circulates along meridians, opens acupoints, unblocks meridians, invigorates blood.
Three Principles of Practice
Core guidelines for Dayan Qigong practice — Correctness, Steadiness, Precision
Correct Mind · Correct Intent · Correct Form
Correct mind means eliminating wicked thoughts. Correct intent means gathering and focusing the mind without looking left and right. Correct form means dignified movements “stand like a pine, sit like a bell.” When correct, qi flows smoothly; when qi flows smoothly, practice succeeds.
Steady · Solid Practice
Practice honestly and solidly, without shortcuts or rushing. Don’t贪功冒进. Each practice session brings its own merit. Daily persistence yields effective results.
Precise · Accurate Movements
Movements, qi pathways, and intentions must be accurate. Don’t bring intentions and methods from other practices into Dayan Qigong. Form guides qi; when form is correct, qi arrives naturally.
Master Fengjing’s Dayan Qigong Beginner Tips
Combining traditional Dayan Qigong with years of practice experience for safe starts
Start with the First 10 Movements
The Front 64 forms are deep yet accessible. Beginners can practice the first 10 movements (Commencement to Return Qi) to build foundation without贪多. Excellent effects follow.
Form Guides Qi, Don’t刻意 Regulate Breath
Dayan Qigong’s greatest feature is natural breathing — don’t actively control breathing rhythm. First get the movements right. When form is correct, qi naturally follows; when qi follows, practice naturally succeeds.
Tongue Touches Upper Palate During Practice
This is a basic Dayan Qigong requirement, building a bridge between Ren and Du meridians. Breathe through nose throughout, which helps internal qi circulate along meridians without deviation.
Choose Good Environment, Practice Daily
Choose places with many trees and good air quality, quiet environment, loose clothing. One practice session takes only 5-10 minutes. Daily persistence beats occasional long sessions. Wait half an hour after meals.
Follow Nature, Don’t Chase or Fear
Various qi sensations (heat, numbness, distension) during practice are normal. Have it if it comes, don’t have it if it doesn’t. Follow nature, don’t chase or fear. Those with physical discomfort can raise their stance.
