Concept information
Preferred term
Taiji conducting
Definition
- It refers to a practice combining elements of Taiji (often associated with Tai Chi and internal energy cultivation) with daoyin导引, a traditional Daoist movement and breathing exercise aimed at guiding and stretching the body to enhance health and qi flow. Daoyin itself is a series of gentle, mindful body movements and breathing exercises that cultivate internal balance and well‑being—a precursor to later practices like qigong. When paired with Taiji principles, Taiji daoyin emphasizes harmonious, flowing movements with breath and mental focus as a performance‑oriented or health‑promoting artform rooted in Chinese tradition.
