Exercises
that involve twisting, turning, spiraling, screwing, sliding, swinging,
swimming, sinking down and rising up, wiggling, undulating, circling,
or twining are often associated with snakes and dragons. There are many
Qigong sets and specific Qigong movements given a name that includes a
'Dragon.' Baguazhang and Shaolin Kung Fu also include many "Dragon" forms, sets and movements. Silk Reeling Qigong is also related to Dragon like movements.
Dragon Qigong is often associated with Wudang Taoist mind/body arts. Maybe the cliffs and valleys of the Wudang Mountain area are home to many dragons? Dragons have a well established place in Taoist symbolism and lore, as well as in Chinese culture in general.

I welcome suggestions for additions and changes to the Dragon Qigong webpage.
