  The importance of animals within the ancient philosophy is shown everywhere. Many temples, buddhist and taoist are fitted with statues and engravings of animals and mythical creatures. Qigong has a few choice animals and meanings for these animals as well. Since Qigong and Taiji are instill in Chinese Heritage and culture it was only natural to have several forms and mythologys about these animals.

The two animals I will focus on today are the tortoise and the snake, they are direct qigong healing methods:
Turtle : Known for it’s hard outer shell and slow walking. Portrayed as a friendly household pet, but is instilled in cultures around the world. Have an appearance in society of being wise, and knowledgeable. Known for it long life qualities, said that tortoises could live hundreds of years.
