I was reminded recently of Bian Zhizhong's small book entitled Daoist Health Preservation Exercises published in 1987. In the book, he presented the standing postures of exercise for "Health and Longevity" that were "practiced in secret by Daoists of the All-True Sector of the Huashan Mountains School." He writes that there are also rolling, crawling, kneeling, squatting, sitting and prone exercises, but they are not described in the book. I can't seem to find any useful information about him or his exercises on the internet.
1. Does anyone know anything about Bian Zhizhong?
2. Does anyone know the origins of the exercises in the book? Did he make them up or were they created in the past?
3. Does anyone have any interesting experiences gained from doing the exercises?
