Abstract
The aim of this introductory lecture is to review the arguments, according to which the symmetry properties of the strong interaction reveal themselves at low energies. I first discuss the symmetries of QCD, then sketch the method used to work out their implications and finally take up a few specific issues, where new experimental results are of particular interest to test the predictions.
