About the book: 1996 / The book brought to your attention is devoted to the presentation of the theory and practice of the ancient teachings of Taoist monks. The main attention is paid to the review of the original esoteric system of interaction between man and the outside world, called Zhen Pai, which was created in the 8th century at the Temple of Bamboo Shoots in South China. The book contains a number of Qigong complexes of the Zhen school with a fairly detailed decoding of the physical and psychoenergetic work in each form and with a large number of illustrations that allow you to learn the forms yourself. Such a practical consideration, accessible to the understanding of a modern person, has no analogues in the literature on Wu-shu and Qigong. The book is intended for a wide range of readers from reflexologists and physiologists to people deeply interested in Wu-shu and Qigong, as well as for everyone who pays little attention to his health, does not suffer from conservative thinking and wants to master an unusual, full-fledged system of ancient knowledge in martial arts, bioenergy and self-regulation.
