ao bao, 25, is currently studying chinese at hebei vocational college of foreign trade and economics. "this is my second year here. when i first arrived in china, i was a little uncomfortable. every time i missed home, i felt very depressed. in addition to the pressure of studying, i became a little insomniac and irritable over time." ao bao said that in an elective course, she saw the course of ba duan jin. because she knew about ba duan jin before coming to china, she chose to study this course. "the moment i put on the tai chi suit and tai chi shoes, i simply didn't recognize myself in the mirror. i think this is the most dazzling national costume."
according to zheng xuemei, a teacher at hebei vocational college of foreign trade and economics, ba duan jin originated in the song dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. practicing ba duan jin can enhance a person's cardiopulmonary function, regulate qi and blood, and improve sleep.
"practicing ba duan jin is a challenge for me, because its overall rhythm is relatively slow and requires calmness. but i am a lively and cheerful girl, and it was difficult for me to devote myself to it at the beginning." ao bao said that because the horse stance is unstable and the body is difficult to keep balance, it took her a week to master the movement of "drawing the bow left and right like shooting an eagle."
zheng xuemei introduced that the school has opened many elective courses with chinese traditional culture characteristics for international students, and ba duan jin is one of them. ba duan jin does not require any equipment to practice, and is not restricted by time and venue factors. it is very convenient to practice, so ba duan jin is one of the most elective courses for international students.
"we don't have such a sport in our country. the more traditional sport in our country is horse riding. we start practicing horse riding at the age of five, and almost everyone can do it." ao bao told reporters that horse riding makes people excited and joyful, but practicing ba duan jin can make people calm and feel that the blood vessels in the whole body are unblocked.

"i have been practicing ba duan jin for more than a year. my biggest feeling is that my body is more flexible than before, and my sleep and mood have also improved a lot." ao bao likes to go to the beach to practice ba duan jin alone when the weather is good. "feeling the sea breeze and smelling the sea, my whole body and mind relax."
when ao bao returned home this summer, her family was happy and relieved to see her in good condition. "i also taught them ba duan jin, and they practice it every day. i would like to teach ba duan jin to more people so that they can feel this spiritual power together." (end)
