Dr. Oz to Oprah Winfrey Eight Pieces of Brocade is a form of QiGong. Many theories abound about the origin and development of the Eight Section Brocade Chi Kung (QiGong). Ancient dances, medical theory, military drills and exercises, shamanistic rituals, and Buddhist and Taoist practices were all sources for the specific and formal movement routines of Dao-yin or Chi Kung (Qigong). The ancient terms for these types of Qigong or Chi Kung (energy/Qi/breath training) fitness exercises were Dao Yin (guiding, breathing and stretching) or Daoqi Yinti (guide the qi and stretch the body) or Yang Sheng Fa (Longevity Practices). Literature going back nearly 2,500 years reveals health and fitness exercise postures or routines, with some movements quite similar to movements in the Eight Section. The use of calisthenics, stretching, and breathing exercises to maintain good health, fight disease, and enhance the quality of life has a long documented history in both India and China. Artwork, medical manuals, folklore, treatises, scriptures and reports on the subject go back over 2,500 years.
