Taoist Kunlun Mountain School, Dayan Wild Goose Qigong
One of the most famous qigong schools in modern times is the Taoist Kunlun mountain school of Dayan Wild Goose Qigong. Dayan Qigong (Wild Goose
Qigong) originated from within the Kunlun mountains, to the west of China, north of Tibet during the Jin Dynasty. So it is at the very least, 1700
years old. Kunlun is a mountain range in China and it is here that the skill was developed during the Jin Dynasty by Daolist monks living here. They
often saw the Wild Geese who are considered birds of longevity in China and they began to develop movements based upon those they observed in these
beautiful birds. Kunlun Shan in particular, is traditionally one of China's spiritual mountains. So the Daoist monks who resided there developed
their Qigong from observing the movements and behaviour of the Wild Geese (known as birds of longevity) which shared the mountains with them. The
monks combined their knowledge of Chinese medical principles and spiritual meditation with the birds' natural movements to create an exceedingly
healthy and graceful exercise. The wild goose system was inherited by the 27th lineage holder Grandmaster Yang Meijun who began learning at 13, from
her Grandfather who learned it from a Taoist monk from Kunlun mountains.

Grandmaster Yang learned the skill from her grandfather when she was only 13 years old. He had learned it from a Daoist priest whom he had chanced to
meet and befriend as he was travelling in the mountains. He promised the Daoist not to reveal the skill to anyone, except when it came time to pass on
the skill to one other disciple. This was to be only when he reached the age of seventy. The person he chose was his young grand-daughter, Yang
Meijun.
Thereafter, every night between 3-5 am, they would practise together secretly. She learned many forms and began to develop her Sky Eye skill. Several
years later, her grandfather judged that her skill was at the right level and so he passed onto the high level healing skill of the Dayan System.
Using her Sky Eye, she could "read" people's body's. She could even see the shapes of their organs and different colours. Using her Qi (energy)
she could then get rid of the blockage or problem. In her later life, during her 80's, she healed many people in hospitals, even saving some
people's lives where the doctors said was no hope. He told her not to reveal the skill to anybody until she was 70 years old in 1979, he was very
wise bacause in the cultural revolution in the 1960s many qigong masters were killed. When her grandfather could see that he had passed on the system
and her skill had developed, he passed away. She made the skill public in 1979 and taught until she passed away in 2002.
Her life was legenary, she lived in a very difficult and dangerous China, and yet still lived to be 108. She could see a person's aura, she could
emit 5 types of flower fragrance energy. She could easily emit energy to make a person shake, or even a tree. She could see and receive messages from
a long ways away, as her sky-eye, and sky-door(at the top of the head) were opened due to practicing every night with her grandfather at 3:00 am. One
time, I think during WW2 or a different war, she was buried alive by japanese soldiers. She used her abiltiy to use very little oxygen and to breath
through her skin and pores. They thought she was dead, so they buried her alive rather tthan kill her. When they left she was able to dig her way
out.
IMO grandmaster Yang Meijun paved the way for other genuine schools to be made public, and helped people to understand qigong better, and understand
what it is.
Some history information. The system is recorded to be at least 1800 years old. All we know is that it did exist before that but no one knows for sure
how long it existed prior to 1800 years ago-
