One of the most reputable and beneficial Qigong schools from China, Soaring Crane Qigong claimed over 20 million followers as soon as it was first introduced to the public in the early 1980s. It was the first qigong to be taught openly and widely in China. The Chinese government has recently designated Soaring Crane as the "official" Chinese qigong. Crane Style qigong is a combination of physical movements and mental meditations, with Five Routines as its foundation. The movements in the Five Routines are smooth and graceful, while the meditation in a standing position is tranquilizing and healing. This Qigong practice aims at invigorating the functions of the body as well as the mind, so as to effectively treat any possible illness and preserve sound health. The form is divided into 2 parts: Part I (Five Routines), and II (Standing Meditation).

This form was created by Master Wu. Ruyi means "As you like", an auspicious phrase in the Chinese language. When a person's arms and legs are symmetrically positioned in the Ruyi pattern, a Ruyi position of the body is reached. Ruyi Zen Qigong requires formation of Ruyi positions, the entrance into a pious state of mind, and the collection of essential energy from the universe. Seemingly simple, this Qigong can lead the practitioner into the realm of ultimate freedom and unity with the universe.

Since sound is a form of energy, sound has its value not only in art and communication, but also in medical application. The six sounds used in this Qigong are the optimal choice for the human natural voice range. Once resonance is produced by the sounds from the body, the practitioner will enter a state of maximal psychosomatic harmony, thus considerably enhancing health and improving bodily functions. It is a unique way of readjusting internal organ energy and for development of mental strength.
