"Dayan" translates literally as "big bird" or "wild goose". It is believed that the founder of the Wild Goose Qigong (Dayan Yangsheng Gong) was a Daoist monk named Dao An. He was a Master of Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian philosophy at a very high level.
However the system remained secret, handed down with the family, until 1978 when it was first made public by Grandmaster Yang Meijun, who by then was already over 80 years old. Having been taught by her Grandfather from the age of 13, she was the 27th Generation Inheritor of the skill.
Grandmaster Yang Meijun lived to be 106! (1895 - 2002)
Wild Goose Qigong, also known as Dayan Qigong, or Dayan Yangsheng Gong, is a health qigong exercise system that was developed during the Jin Dynasty, approximately 1800 years ago, as a way of helping to improve people's quality of life. Dao An (312 -385), who is consider the Ancestor/ Creator, was brought up with an in depth knowledge of Daoism. Later in his life he was responsible for translation of Buddhist scriptures. In Xiangyang he founded the Tan Xi Temple, and is credited with starting the tradition of all ordained Monks taking the name "Shi". When he died aged 74, his body was free of disease. So Wild Goose Qigong pre-dates Tai Chi Chuan by over 1000 years!

He succeeded his Mother as head of the Wild Goose system in 1998, when she retired from teaching. Towards the end of Yang Meijun's life her teaching was not so accurate and many variations have evolved as a result.
