Taijiwuxigong (tai chi exercises) and Buqi Therapy both derive from understandings and capacities developed during

chi gung or Tai Chi Practice. 

 

Necessity was partly  the mother of invention: during the cultural revolution grandmaster and medical doctor Dr Shen Hongxun was asked to teach senior citizens, who were not so flexible and could not memorise long sequences of movements, so Taijiwuxigong was born: short essential sequences which were found to be therapeutic and could be adapted to different ages and capacities, and were less demanding on the legs. And at that time  few if any medicines were available, so alternative means of healing were required, and Buqi (boochee) was born as Dr Shen developed, systematised and continued to research his own style of energy healing using Tai Chi forces.
