zhànzhuāng · 'standing like a post': a still-standing practice from qigong and martial arts
Zhanzhuang means 'standing like a post'. It is a practice from martial arts and qigong in which one stands still in a set posture for several minutes, relaxing the body and settling the breath. It is used for strength and calm, and in recent years many people have adopted it as meditation. In a profile, Guo Keyu says it is part of her daily routine and helps her take in whatever a scene offers.
