The transformation of Qi, a fundamental concept in human physiology according to traditional Chinese medicine, is crucial in maintaining various physiological processes. Qi, exhibiting different forms and activities - such as transformation, transportation, and directional changes - fundamentally impacts various aspects of human health and activity. It can condense to form the material body, exhibiting a Yin nature, or disperse to instigate movement, representing Yang. This Yin and Yang of Qi underpin human physiology, ensuring processes like movement, growth, and reproduction occur when Qi is aptly transformed. A flourishing Qi indicates health, while its weakness or misdirection signifies disease. Proper Qi transformation and directionality also influence other physiological aspects like blood movement, essence transformation, body fluids' movement, food digestion, nutrient absorption, waste excretion, and the moistening of sinews, bones, and skin while providing resistance to external pathogens.
1. Pre Heaven or Inherited Qi (先天之气, Xiāntiān Zhī Qì)
- **Concept**: We inherit a certain amount of Qi, known as Pre-Heaven Qi or Yuan Qi, from our parents at conception, which is stored in the Kidneys and utilized throughout our lives.
2. Post Heaven or Acquired Qi (后天之气, Hòutiān Zhī Qì)
- **Concept**: This refers to Qi derived after birth (Post-Heaven Qi) from the food we consume and the air we breathe.
3. Production of Zong Qi (宗气)
- **Inhalation**: When we breathe, the Lungs inhale air, extracting clean Qi known as "Clear Qi" (清气, Qīng Qì).
- **Combination**: This Clear Qi combines with the food essence (Grain Qi or 食气, Shí Qì) derived from the food and fluids processed by the Spleen and Stomach.
- **Formulation**: Together, they form Gathering Qi "Zong Qi" (宗气), which is particularly vital for the functioning of the heart and lungs.
4. Formation of Ying Qi and Wei Qi (营气 & 卫气)
- **Ying Qi**: Zong Qi is transformed into "Ying Qi" (营气, Nutritive Qi), which circulates with blood in the vessels to nourish the body.
- **Wei Qi**: A portion is also transformed into "Wei Qi" (卫气, Defensive Qi), which flows outside the vessels, providing an energetic barrier against external pathogens and regulating body temperature.

I like how the complete guide to CHI is concisely phrased in just under 12 minutes, down from 8 decades.
😁👍
Chi is easily seen by anyone. Open up your hand and extent your fingers, place a white piece of printing paper behind the fingers. Look into "V" and you will see your own chi emitted. It is different color for different person. For me, it is multicolors, some color is solid like purple. Seeing "chi" is easy, but too control "chi" is a different story! Try it!
😎👍
😅
@@alfredoortiz6756 Ye of little faith! focus on the thin radiation adjacent to the fingers! The white back round is the key. Like seeing breath out of month in cold weather or heatwave from pavement during hot summer day. If you still having problem, google how to see your aura!

Truth is in stillness ☯️ ☯️ ☯️
I'm surprised you didn't discuss getting de qi during acupuncture treatment 😁
Good point. I'll do a video specifically about acupuncture
@@learnchinesenow awesome! I'll keep my eyes open for it.
I read and heard about this topic everywhere, and they give many ideas and tips for saving your chi...
The most absurd is to not have sex, including sexual act, including masturbation.
It is said to drain your Pre-Heaven chi and make you expire(from life) faster.
On the other hand, some said that that the key to longevity is to gain chi by healthy sexual act... One that was normal for humans.
Other tips like choosing a house with good Feng Shui, is more acceptable.
I think this is what makes the Chinese interesting.
It's hard to tap into your pre-heaven qi, most activities won't do that. BUT...the theory is if you have strong post heaven qi, basically really strong and more than what you would need for basic functions, it protects the pre-heaven qi from getting tapped into too quickly. If you have weak post heaven qi though due to an unhealthy lifestyle, then in desperation your body may have no choice but to tap into a little pre heaven qi.
Hence feeling how you feel after performing this act, once it's over men just roll over and sleep, sleep is the cousin of death. Women must have heaps of chi, cos they can go another few rounds, they actually need to finish the rounds. Other wise they will start doing house work and chores, if there not satisfied, is that a natural way of getting there chi back. After the act.
I'm surprised he didn’t discuss the Daoist holistic healing arts focused on manipulating Qi energy utilizing the meridians to all parts of your body.
Maybe you can think of it as “Daoist preventive medicine” with no intrusive acupuncture needles.
Many of these are daily exercises anyone can perform though for some of the more complex ones you should have formal meditation experience.
I’ve tried some of these techniques and exercises with success.
When traveling across China you will occasionally see older adults and seniors practice some of these in a park, out walking, and even the simpler ones when shopping though they are mostly used at home.
👍
Qi Gong is an own art that does not have any direct relationship with martial art application of Qi. Qi in internal martial art have not the exactly same meaning of Qi in TCM. For avoid confusion some internal martial does not use the the word Qi at all. Just call it internal internal energy that can be transform to internal power or Jin power. The internal power is generated my applying so called Yi or Mind Power based on Zheng Nian or Mindfulness mode i.e. mind focusing in relax state. How the do it I will be complicate to explain. Healing part with Qi is the part that is also based on mind leading the internal energy. For feeling what is the feeling of energy is crucial for apply it, it is like tuning the a radio after a frequency.;
you can feel the Qi when you practice Qigong
Well Jared, indeed I have experienced that slow-speed combat, not all the time but rather when I had an adrenaline-rush to survive. I was going to be robbed and I remember seeing in slow speed closing my fingers into a perfect first to punch this guy's face 😅. I would say my "氣" saved me.
Woah, that's amazing! Do you practice martial arts, or was it just purely the power of qi?
@@learnchinesenow Yes I have practice different martial arts. That's exactly why my subconscious went into using the proper posture to hit, although I was out of my mind due to the adrenaline. It was a weird state
Wow, very intense
Is that why I feel so good after I make an Asian food banquet, with broccoli and wom buk. And other stir fry dishes, mainly after greens and salads I feel really good.
👍
@@learnchinesenow thanks for your content Jared good channel, looking forward to learning more. Intresting how you are studying Chinese. Culture and medicine, and the language. respect 👏 what did Bruce say if everyone just loved one neighbour next door to them the world be a better place, something like that, the chain reaction would be amazing.
What is this chi or qi i don't know about it ??
I have a longer more in-depth explanation on my other channel: czcams.com/video/7AYtYMlmSbw/video.htmlsi=o66bV2A9tJxv3Wpq
糯米可以补充人体宗气
It definitely works Aura photos
😎👍
Good Content, especially the Chinese names. Some of the concepts you mention can be referenced in the book "Path notes of an American Ninja Master". There were also a series of books by a Greek Martial artist about the teaching of a Martial Artist/Acupuncturist in Java, leading to his theory that ancient gods may have gotten their powers from Chi.
Video about him here: czcams.com/video/wYVdhKVb9WE/video.html
Pretty interesting video. If it is real, then it looks like he actually is able to control and manipulate his qi.
Not to be disrespectful, but I usually get some chi after eating lots of rice! 😁
On a serious note, lots of athletes get in to the "zone" when they are really concentrating on what they are doing and feel that time is slowing down.
I don’t have proof, but I’ve had a few experiences that seem only able to be understood in terms of qi. One involved using two fingers to push a 6 ft 280# man backwards about 3 ft, when he was cheating up on my 10 year old son on night. I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say I’m not sure which of the two of us were more shocked.
What your describing sounds very similar what witches teach our acolytes with regard to manipulating magical energy. If you are ever in the Nashville TN area, I could teach you how to make and manipulate energy balls. I strongly suspect that is the same thing as chi
These are 2 very different cultures, though. Is it likely they both achieved energy manipulation through such different types of disciplines? Or is there a common mode of practice between witches and qigong practitioners?
@@status-unleashed raising and manipulating energy is the same. What you call it and your personal techniques for doing so successfully may vary but energy is just energy. It can’t be created or destroyed. It can be manipulated, concentrated and played with.
@@Cent4man It never crossed my mind you could "play with energy". How do you, in your own practice, do it?
@@status-unleashed I’m not good at explaining via written word. I would really have to be fave to face when someone someone to teach energy manipulation.
My children, hen they were little, and my grandchildren would make energy balls. A great practice, and then throw them at the cat. Very disturbing for the cat. Kinda funny to see but, I did and still do try to discourage it. It’s not nice to aggravate the cat.
@@Cent4man lmao You taught your kids to energy blast the pet cat, that's amazing
Qi is in fact electricity that is not as pressure as the electricity we use in reality, while that electric energy give us life, (body and thoughts) and give us the opportunity to inpercept reality.. That is why this (video: image + sound in-time (movement)) give everyone else the sensation you are talking in real-time, while the expression of it, is full of electricity.. I mean: bits :D 0101010101010101001 :D
I’m pretty sure Jesus did Qi Gong
You guys should check out Chi Kung master John Chang, they bring out equipment to test this healer that can use chi
1rst 😂😂
I have healing abilities I think
Proof it.
lol
Is this kinda like goku powering up to super saiyan?
This ain't Dragon Ball Z.🤣
It should be 炁
your explanation about the chi makes me so confused
I have a longer more in-depth explanation on my other channel: czcams.com/video/7AYtYMlmSbw/video.htmlsi=o66bV2A9tJxv3Wpq
As a Hindu i no how it's came to china
Sexual-qi. The easiest qi to prove existence of.
