![Page 49: Chinese Wellbeing. History of Acupoints Acupoint Massage is an ancient healing art which uses the fingers to press points on the skin and stimulate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ce65503460f949b385e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Ti Jianzi evolved from an ancient military exercise.
Ti Jianzi matches were popular in the time of the Han and T’ang dynasties (207-906). After the Sung
dynasty (960-1278 A.D.)
Jianzi consists of a small, weighted circular base with feathers at one end. It is generally kicked with the toe, heel, instep and inner and outer side of the foot as well as the knee. Other parts of the body may also be used.
Procedure: The player tosses the Jianzi into the air and then kicks it with her/his foot back into the air. Players continue this as long as they can without missing or allowing the Jianzi to touch the ground.
When players become fairly skillful, they kick the Jianzi not only with the instep but with the knee, or sometimes alternating the heel and instep kicks.
