The following was taken from the Hun Yuan Qigong (HYQ) videotape produced by Master Zhang Xue Xin.

Qigong is the Chinese science of exercise, breathing, and meditation to increase the body’s supply of healing energy, qi. It improves health and vitality through the emphasis on prevention, improves the immune system and cultivates qi. The HYQ exercises mix the prenatal and postnatal qi and cultivate the Three Treasures of the human body: jing - the life essence that is dissipated by sex and food; shen - the spirit and awareness; and qi - the vital energy. The exercises also help bring in the yang energy from the earth to commune with the human vital energy. The cultivation of these energies within the human body can improve the health and martial aspects for the practitioner.

The external body movements throughout the exercises are used with the yi (proper intention) to guide the internal energy. The practitioner is advised of the importance of paying proper attention to the yi, than to the external movement.

The HYQ exercises begin with the Wuji stance after the cleansing movements (Exercise to lower the murky qi and wash internal organs). Importance of the Wuji stance is also emphasized in the HYQ set. Each HY exercise uses external movements to guide the internal energy, but it is the Wuji stance that helps the practitioner to search or the internal movement of stillness that is the endless true movement and to guide the qi back to the dantian.
