It was originally used to train the body to withstand strong blows and attacks in the days when there were no guns but only the traditional Chinese weapons of spears (chin.: sà 鈒), broadswords (chin.: dàdāo 大刀) and knives (chin.: dāo 釖).

During the legendary Chinese ruler’s Tang Yao (chin.: Táng yáo 唐堯 2353 - 2234 BC) monarchy; qigong art used as a form of dancing.

In Master Lu’s Spring and Autumn (chin.: lǚshìchūnqiū 呂氏春秋) records which was completed in 239BC we read: In the beginning of the Tao Tang Tribes, the sun was often shut off by heavy clouds and it rained all the time; turbulent waters overflowed the rivers’ banks.
