《不朽道士的氣功教學方法：李清雲大師的八項基本練習》
斯圖爾特·艾爾弗·奧爾森（Stuart Alve Olson）在2002年編寫過一本書，《不朽道士的氣功教學方法：李清雲大師的八項基本練習》（Qigong Teachings of a Taoist Immortal: The Eight Essential Exercises of Master Li Ching Yuen）。在書中，他教了「八段錦」的練習方法。奧爾森經常向太極拳大師梁棟材（T. T. Liang，Liang Tung Tsai）學習，而梁棟材又是向楊森學習的。
中國將軍楊森曾經寫了一份關於李清雲的報告，報告名稱為《一個250歲長壽老人的真實記載》。在報告中，楊森是這樣描述李清雲的外表的：「李清雲有很好的視力，步伐矯健。他有七尺高，也有很長的指甲，更有健康的膚色。」
李清雲（1677年？－1933年5月6日，又誤譯李慶遠）是一名中草藥專家、氣功大師和戰術顧問。他曾聲稱自己生於1736年，但也有帶有爭議性的記錄稱他生於1677年，由其聲稱的出生年推測其壽命為197歲，而由該記錄此推測其壽命則達256歲，均遠遠超迄今有準確記錄的最長壽命紀錄（參見吉尼斯世界紀錄），該紀錄由一名叫雅娜·卡爾芒（Jeanne Louise Calment）的法國婦女保持，她於1875年2月21日出生，於1997年8月4日去世。

《不朽道士的氣功教學方法：李清雲大師的八項基本練習》這本書是一本英文書，英文書名為：《Qigong Teachings of a Taoist Immortal: The Eight Essential Exercises of Master Li Ching Yuen》，下面是這本書的簡介：
The first English translation of Master Li Ching-yun’s teachings on the Eight Brocades, the central practice of qigong.
? Explains the physical and spiritual benefits of the Eight Brocades and offers step-by-step instructions for this powerful sequence of postures.
? 85 illustrations highlight the postures and philosophies.
? Author’s commentary provides insight and depth to the original translation.
Throughout history Taoists have promoted the development and restoration of the Three Treasures– body, breath, and spirit–through the gentle practice of qigong. At the center of the qigong practice are the Eight Brocades, a series of postures that developed during the 3,000-year Taoist quest for longevity and vitality. Now qigong expert Stuart Olson translates into English Master Li Ching-yun’s treasured teachings on the Eight Brocades. One of the most famous qigong masters of this century, Master Li Ching-yun is reliably chronicled to have lived more than 250 years, during which he practiced the Eight Brocades on a daily basis. His longevity and personal endorsements attest to and validate the Eight Brocades as the quintessence of Taoist health and qigong practices.
With Master Li Ching-yun’s original teachings as a guide, Stuart Olson presents an authentic yet accessible approach to this unique practice. Each exercise is accompanied by original text from Master Li, step-by-step instructions for each posture, illustrations of the positions, and insights on theory and practice. Because the Eight Brocades are the foundation of all qigong, this book provides valuable advice for all practitioners, regardless of the style they practice or the depth of their experience.
