An extensive routine, most systematic among the Chinese, Taiwanese & other types of Huatuo's Five Animals Qigong, configured with meticulous movements and the coordinated effect of three body parts. Stimulates every part of the body inside & out, with excellent effect for massaging the internal organs. Comprised of 125 forms for a long routine, using hands to tap, rub & press for massage, & divided into the three parts of torso, legs, and face to proceed in increments.

While maintaining the general merits of the traditional routine, arranged to prevent any defects in motions for harmonizing each part of the body. It is a type of balanced symmetrically for movements left and right to avoid skewing to one side. The Daoyin Research Group teaches the modern Five Animals Qigong mainly though this routine. Compared with other simplified formats the form is extensive, with lateral movements proceeding sublimely, and wholly appropriate not only for health and as a hobby, but searching deeper, wider into the discipline.
