I found your pages online. I wonder if you know is there is a poster
of the Mawangdui daoyin scroll.

Peter,
A good question. I will look around for a poster of this scroll. Any suggestions from readers?

Reproduction of the qigong exercises silk scroll (Dao-yin Tu) found in the tomb at Mawangdui, China, in 1973. This scroll is from the period around 168 BCE. Photo from the Wonders of Qigong, China Sports Magazine, 1985
"The Dao-yin Tu is the finest example of the consistency and continuity of qigong healing techniques. The majority of the exercises look so similar to the postures of modern qigong that it is possible to deduce how they were performed. The rich themes found in the Dao-yin Tu run like a fine thread through the fabric of qigong history and evolution.'
- Kenneth Cohen, The Way of Qigong, 1997, p. 19
