“Daoist Walking Alchemy” (Ancient Moving Meditation)
Biomechanical Optimization of Daily Steps for Longevity Enhancement
- Imperial Heritage
- Zhou Dynasty Protocol:
Recorded in Rites of Zhou (周礼) as “行导引术” – royal physicians prescribed 5,000 steps/day at Chen hour (7-9AM) to “activate meridian tides”. - Qing Dynasty Validation:
Emperor Qianlong’s 89-year longevity regimen included “五禽步法” (5-animal gait patterns) documented in Imperial Health Archives. - UNESCO Recognition:
Listed as Intangible Heritage of Dynamic Meditation (2025).
- Biohacking Mechanisms
