It records 49 exercises. This illustration depictsJingang daoze(The Four Attendant Warriors strike blows), a technique used to treat abdominal distention, and pain throughout the body. It is practised as follows: One stands up straight with the hands raised palm upwards and the heels on the ground. Contracting the anus, one circulates Qi for nine breaths.
