Abstract
<p>This study aimed to investigate the improvement of psychological well-being among university students through a four-month Wuqinxi (Five Animal Frolics) intervention.

Results revealed a significant improvement in the intervention group, emphasizing the holistic nature of Wuqinxi, combining physical movements, breath control, and meditation.

The practical implications are significant, as adopting Wuqinxi as an intervention may elevate students' psychological health and overall quality of life. Wuqinxi is an actively effective method, addressing anxiety, depression, and fostering key factors like self-awareness and decision-making.
