Baduanjin exercise brings wellness to community in Lanling

Lianhuashan community in Bianzhuang subdistrict, Lanling county, Linyi, East China's Shandong province, held a baduanjin exercise session on Nov 3 to enrich residents' cultural and sports life and promote scientific fitness.

Baduanjin, or the eight-section brocade, is a traditional Chinese qigong exercise known for its gentle, easy-to-learn movements.

At the session, the instructor introduced the exercise's features and precautions, then explained each movement — from the opening stance, arm raises and turns to breathing — while demonstrating and correcting residents' postures. Volunteers helped maintain order and reminded participants to exercise within their limits, and the instructor patiently coached those less familiar with the movements.

Participants said the gentle, easy-to-learn exercise suits daily workout, and the activity also enhanced neighborhood exchanges. The community said it will continue to organize diverse cultural and sports activities based on residents' needs to foster a healthy and harmonious atmosphere.
