In Paul Brennan’s translation of Jin Tisheng’s Baduanjin manual, the 3rd form is translated to be titled, “Rejuvenate your digestive organs by sending a hand propping up.”
The title immediately hints at the benefits of the 3rd section of Baduanjin, it assists in improving the digestive system, stimulating the stomach and spleen. The movements involve the simultaneous movement of one hand moving up and the other moving down. These movements enhance the peristaltic movements of the digestive tract and allow the “exercising” of the two organs mentioned above.
