Introduction to Yijin Jing Course Based on TCM Theory

This course is based on the core theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that "a healthy body relies on unobstructed tendons, meridians, and smooth qi-blood circulation". It inherits the thousand-year-old health-preserving wisdom of Yijin Jing and combines it with the physical needs of modern people to systematically teach the practice methods and health maintenance principles of Yijin Jing. The detailed content is as follows:

I. Core Theoretical Foundation of the Course

The theoretical system of this course originates from TCM’s understanding of human tendons, bones, and qi-blood, and is deeply integrated with the essence of Yijin Jing—"combining hardness with softness and cultivating both the body and mind". It mainly includes seven core concepts:

1. Cultural Heritage of Yijin Jing

Yijin Jing has a profound historical background and is a treasure of traditional Chinese martial arts and health-preserving culture. It embodies the Chinese people’s health philosophy of "nourishing the body through movement and calming the mind through stillness". Its origin can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589 AD). After thousands of years of inheritance and development, it has evolved from an early practical exercise for regulating tendons and enhancing physical fitness to a comprehensive system that integrates TCM meridian theory (such as the Twelve Regular Meridians and Eight Extra Meridians) and traditional philosophy (such as "yin-yang balance"). Today, it is a classic practice highly praised by health enthusiasts for its dual values of strengthening the body and cultivating the mind.

2. Systematic Thinking: Holistic Regulation Concept

TCM holds that the human body is an organic whole where tendons, bones, qi-blood, and internal organs are interconnected. The flexibility of tendons and the smoothness of qi-blood directly affect the function of internal organs. Many local problems (such as stiff shoulders and neck, or back pain) are often rooted in blocked tendons/meridians and poor qi-blood circulation throughout the body. Therefore, the course emphasizes a "holistic approach": through Yijin Jing practice, it unblocks tendons and meridians, improves the efficiency of qi-blood circulation, and provides sufficient nourishment for internal organs—ultimately achieving the regulatory effect of "strong tendons and bones promote smooth qi-blood, and smooth qi-blood ensures healthy internal organs".

3. Daily Maintenance: Principle of Regular Practice

The maintenance of tendons and bones relies on long-term regular exercise rather than "remedial practice when problems occur". The course recommends practicing Yijin Jing at least 4 times a week. Continuous practice helps maintain the flexibility and activity of tendons and bones, promotes blood circulation throughout the body, and prevents stiffness of tendons/meridians and blood stasis caused by prolonged sitting or poor posture—fundamentally preventing sub-health issues.

4. Prevention First: Concept of Preventing Diseases Before Onset

TCM advocates the idea of "top-tier healers prevent diseases rather than treat them", and one of the core values of Yijin Jing is "preventing problems before they arise". After a disease occurs, physical recovery not only takes a lot of time but may also be accompanied by functional damage. However, daily practice of Yijin Jing can enhance the load-bearing capacity of tendons and bones, improve the body’s immunity, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as arthritis and cervical spondylosis—truly realizing "health maintenance instead of treatment".

5. Symmetrical Movement: Principle of Tendon-Bone Balance

Modern people often have uneven stress on tendons and bones due to habits like one-sided force (e.g., long-term use of one hand for work, one-sided weight-bearing) or prolonged inactivity. This can lead to problems such as skeletal deformation (e.g., scoliosis) and joint wear. The Yijin Jing exercises in the course focus on "symmetrical practice": through movements like stretching front and back, pulling left and right, and connecting top and bottom, it adjusts the angle of the body’s tendons and bones, restores the normal physiological curvature of the spine, and returns the entire body’s tendons and bones to a balanced and healthy state.

6. Walking with Health: Principle of Unobstructed Tendons and Meridians

TCM believes that "tendons bind bones, and meridians are the channels for blood". Many chronic conditions (such as cold hands and feet, or persistent fatigue) are related to blocked tendons/meridians and poor qi-blood circulation. Through movements like twisting, stretching, and coordinated breathing, Yijin Jing can clear the body’s meridian channels, promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in tendons and meridians, provide sufficient nutrients to all parts of the body, and thereby activate the body’s self-repair ability to improve sub-health.

7. Organ Health: Principle of Nourishing Internal Organs

Although Yijin Jing focuses on "regulating tendons and bones", it can indirectly nourish internal organs. According to TCM theory, "the liver governs tendons, the kidneys govern bones, and the spleen governs muscles"—the health of tendons and bones is closely related to the functions of internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and spleen. Practicing Yijin Jing can indirectly stimulate the meridians connected to internal organs through regulating tendons and bones, improve the metabolic capacity of internal organs, and achieve the dual health effect of "strong tendons/bones + healthy internal organs".

II. Suitable Crowds for the Course

  1. Office workers who sit for a long time, lack exercise, and suffer from stiff shoulders/neck, back pain, or tendon-bone strain;
  1. Healthy or sub-healthy people who want to improve their physical fitness, enhance immunity, and prevent chronic diseases such as arthritis and cervical spondylosis;
  1. People who need to improve body flexibility and coordination to lay a foundation for sports (e.g., running, ball games) or martial arts practice;
  1. Middle-aged and elderly people who hope to relieve fatigue, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall quality of life through traditional health-preserving exercises.

III. Core Content of the Course

The basic Yijin Jing course includes four modules to ensure that students can master and practice correctly quickly:
  1. Exercise Demonstration: The instructor demonstrates core Yijin Jing movements (such as "Veda Offering Pestle", "Picking Stars and Changing Dippers", "Nine Ghosts Pulling Swords") in full, with clear action decomposition for easy imitation;
  1. Detailed Explanation: Combined with TCM theory, it explains the key points of force application, breathing coordination, and the regulatory effect of each movement on tendons, meridians, and internal organs;
  1. Common Mistake Avoidance: It analyzes common mistakes made by students (such as irregular breathing, excessive force, and posture deformation) and provides correction methods to avoid practice-related injuries;
  1. Health Benefit Interpretation: It systematically explains the specific improvement effects of long-term Yijin Jing practice on the body to help students clarify their practice goals.

IV. Course Features

  1. Easy to Learn: The movements are not complicated and require no professional foundation. Through "decomposed teaching + slow-speed demonstration", the instructor ensures that students of different ages and physical conditions can master them easily;
  1. Quick Results: Generally, after 15-30 days of consistent practice, students can feel physical changes—such as relief from stiff shoulders/neck, enhanced back strength, improved sleep quality, and reduced fatigue. The specific improvement effects vary from person to person;
  1. Comprehensive Regulation: It not only improves tendon-bone problems but also unblocks meridians, promotes qi-blood circulation, and simultaneously addresses issues such as internal organ metabolism, joint health, and meridian blockage. It also enhances body flexibility, strength, balance, and reaction speed;
  1. Light and Unburdened: The practice intensity is moderate, fully considering the physical endurance of modern people (especially office workers and the middle-aged and elderly). The practice process is not tiring, and students usually feel relaxed and comfortable after practice;
  1. Professional Instruction and Clear Presentation: Taught by a senior Yijin Jing master, the course adopts the format of "Chinese audio + English subtitles", catering to the learning needs of both domestic students and foreign health enthusiasts.

V. Warm Reminders

  1. Long-Term Persistence is Key: Health maintenance cannot be achieved overnight. The regulatory effects of Yijin Jing require regular practice and gradual accumulation to stabilize. It is recommended to make a long-term practice plan and avoid "practicing occasionally and giving up easily";
  1. Clarify the Positioning of Health Maintenance: Yijin Jing is a health-preserving method and cannot replace professional medical treatment. If you have obvious disease symptoms (such as severe pain or acute injury), please seek medical attention in time—do not rely solely on exercise practice to delay treatment.
