Ancient Qigong Artifacts

"The earliest records of qigong being practised were found on archaeological artifacts excavated in Qinghai province, China, dated approximately 5,000 years ago. These were in the form of drawings on gallipots. Descriptions of qigong were also found in relics from the Western Han Dynasty (206-24 BC), excavated in Hunan province; and actual written records were found in the ancient Chinese classic Shanshu, of the same period."

By Dr. Amir Farid Isahak, Qigong Revival - The Art of Qi

Has anyone else heard of these Dao-Yin drawings on the "gallipots" referred to by Dr. Isahak??

    No idea where he got it. I am only aware of the Mawangdui manuscripts.

    For those who don't know:

    A gallipot is a word of Middle English origin. A gallipot is a small ceramic or earthenware bowl used to dispense medicine. It is also an archaic term for a pharmacist.

    I looked it up.

    Keep Smiling.
