[2025 南阳期中] Baduanjin, a kind of exercise, has a history of more than 800 years. Now it's almost as popular as Tai Chi in China. You can
find many people practising baduanjin in parks.
In the past, people thought baduanjin was a sport for the old. 1. Why? Well, it's easy to learn and practise. You don't need any equipment. You don't need much space, either. 2. That is why it is very popular with office workers. Most of them always spend long hours sitting at a desk or working on a computer, so they hardly have much time to exercise.
"Baduanjin is great exercise," a young man said. "3. Then I took someone's advice and started to practise baduanjin every morning. I find it really helpful. Now I can sleep well."
4. Liu Jianan, a Chinese teacher, teaches baduanjin in a school in the Middle East (中东). Many students like his class.
If you want to keep healthy, why not give baduanjin a try? 5. But not all people can practise it. People should always put safety(安全) first when doing baduanjin.
