Master Zhongxian Wu was born on China’s eastern shore in a small coastal mountain village in Zhejiang Province, where the sun’s rays first touch the Chinese mainland. He began practicing Qigong and Taiji at an early age. Inspired by the immediate strengthening effects of this practice, he committed himself to the life-long pursuit of the ancient arts of internal cultivation.

Since 1972, Master Wu has devoted himself to the study of classical Chinese arts – Qigong/Neigong, Taiji, internal martial arts, Chinese medicine, astrology, cosmology, Yijing science, talisman calligraphy, ancient Chinese music – and has studied with the highest level masters of these fields. He is the lineage holder of four traditional schools of internal cultivation practices.

With his wife, Dr. Karin Taylor Wu, he founded Blue Willow World Healing Center and QinJian Akademin 琴劍研究院 to preserve the ancient healing arts and other classical Chinese wisdom traditions.
