Lishi is a form of Daoist practice from Shangdong Province in China. It traces it's history back at least three thousand years. Lishi comprises Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation, Daoist Yoga, Daoist Healing Arts, Daoist Kung Fu and "Aikido", Daoist Weapons.
In Daoism, swords are often wielded as symbolic weapons to subdue evil forces. Traditionally swords were given to traveling Daoists to symbolize cutting away their attachments to the material world. In Daoist qigong practice, when energy is gathered and moved throughout the body, it is described as a sword opening the body's energy pathways. In Daoist practice, the sword is not seen as a tool for killing enemies. It is a symbol of justice and righteousness, and represents the discipline used for conquering ignorance, reckless passion, and aggression.
