Doctor Shen Hongxun (1939-2011) is trained by masters of the Chinese tradition in the use of energy in treatments and exercises. He first treated using BuQi® therapy in a hospital setting in China, for diseases such as hypertension, coronary arteriosclerosis, rheumatism, asthma and certain paralysis, then gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology problems …
Its various functions led it to develop the BuQi® system by highlighting the role of emotional factors and posture at the origin of illnesses (theory of the double vicious circle).
He develops the BuQi® treatment, which uses the force of the dantian and the transmission of information to expel BinQi (perverse Qi) from the body. It combines treatments with the practice of specific exercises (daoyin) and he creates exercises called Taijiwuxigong.
Doctor Shen Hongxun settled in Belgium in 1991 and developed the practice and teaching of BuQi®, associated with the various daoyin which take up the principles of the Chinese tradition of energy.
Doctor Shen Hongxun (1939-2011)
Doctor Shen Hongxun, in an autobiographical text, evokes the precocity of his practice. From an early age, he was interested in the practice of Taijiquan, which was then, he says: “Practiced mainly by men over 40 and for health reasons. Taijiquan has been studied by very few young people and almost never by children. »
Studying with Professor Yao was very enriching, not only for Taijiquan techniques, but also for my personal development, and it helped me develop my strength of character.
The program by Doctor Shen Hongxun
Doctor Shen Hongxun becomes a doctor in Western and traditional Chinese medicine.
His grandfather, Shen BaoTai (1883-1963), who studied and practiced Taoist meditation Longmen WuXi Gong for a long time, trained Doctor Shen Hongxun in these techniques and shared with him his knowledge in the field of healing with energy. .
He also benefited from the teaching of Masters such as Professor Yao Huanzhi (1903-1962), Master Tian Zhaoling (1887-1956), Master Lu Songpao (1865-1962), the Taoist He Jingquin and Lama Fahai (1909- 1991).
Dr. Shen Hongxun explains in his presentation of the BuQi system in his book¹ that “Professor Yao Huanzhi often taught Taijiquan while healing patients at the same time. He liked to call this therapeutic method “Xinqi”. »
Master Tian Zhaoling rarely treated patients. In fact, he only treated students injured during the practice of "pushing hands" (pushing hands or tui shou). After class if a student asked for his help, he simply placed his hand near the area where the pain was located and moved his hand down. The pain disappeared immediately. Master Lu Songao treated the same as Master Tian Zhaoling. »
Taoist He Jingquing and Lama Fahai used a more spiritual approach in their treatments. Lama Fahai was a renowned acupuncturist. He took the needles between his lips, where he held them and thrust them straight into the patient's specific acupuncture points.
Doctor Shen Hongxun is also fortunate to have access to the founding texts of the Taoist tradition, and he notes in these texts the reference to BuQi®, a treatment method that does not require contact with the patient, and allows the Negative Qi leaving the body.
He is interested in this ancestral knowledge and will develop it into a complete system, the BuQi® system.

The beginnings of treatment
In 1963, while he was deputy director of Xinjiang Hospital, he began treating diseases such as hypertension, coronary arteriosclerosis, rheumatism, asthma and certain paralysis using BuQi® therapy in a hospital setting.
During the cultural revolution, he went to Shanghai and founded a Taijiquan school there and treated his students with BuQi®. He returns to Xinjiang and continues his research on BuQi®.
In 1979, he laid the foundations of the entire BuQi® system, and it was in this year that he had the opportunity to develop his practice as the chief Qigong doctor of the Qigong clinic and at the hospital. Eryang Diduan from Shanghai. He treats problems in gynecology, pediatrics and ophthalmology in BuQi®.
The implementation of the principles
In 1983, he wrote a book on abnormal reactions due to Qigong practices and the basic principles of BuQi® treatment. The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine entrusted him with a research project on 'Qigong as a treatment for myopia', and this was the starting point for his theory on the double vicious circle. A chapter of this book is devoted to BuQi®, but his departure for Europe meant that no writings were published in China.
The principle of the double vicious circle is the interaction of incorrect posture and emotional and psychological factors in the occurrence of a disease (double vicious circle of posture and mental stress). This becomes the theoretical basis of BuQi®, the causes of diseases being to be sought in their interaction.
Dr. Shen will develop techniques to eliminate BinQi (toxic residues of metabolism) and the transmission of information thanks to the force of the Dantian (energy center) which allows to guide the energy out of the body, and clean it of BinQi. Then many exercises (daoyin) are associated with the techniques of treatment of the patients, so that each one can act on his health.
Installation in Belgium and teaching
Invited to participate in a conference in Europe about his work on the treatment of myopia with Qigong, he settled in Ghent, Belgium and began teaching BuQi® in 1991. First, he developed the BuQi® System, which includes both energy treatment techniques and various practices. The goal is to help people correct their posture, eliminate BinQi, so that energy circulates freely.
From that moment on, Doctor Shen Hongxun transmitted a teaching that explained the principles of BuQi® and implemented these principles through practices: He created Taijiwuxigong, and allowed his students to discover the forces at work in Taiji practices. Indeed, Doctor Shen Hongxun believes that everyone can act on their own health, through practices such as Taijiwuxigong, Taiji 37, Taiji of the Heavenly Mountain, and numerous daoyin. These practices lead to activating the Dantian, circulating energy in the body, freeing the BinQi meridians…
He thus develops an internal art at the service of the person, for health and well-being, calm and inner harmony.
He transmitted to his daughter, Master Shen Jin, from an early age, all the foundations of this teaching.
