Just as Yang Luchan transformed, liberated and developed his version of what is called taijiquan, so to
other groups have transformed Baduanjin into their own purported image and likeness. A neo-Daoist interpretative

they are not even close in "format" and relevance (compared to a 1930s standard

of the day and add the beard and 'hat' to top it off and it becomes reality.
The form itself is wonderful
