Description

Qi is what marks the difference between a living and a dead person. The ancient Chinese believed that it is the most fundamental entity that makes up the world. Everything in the universe that moves and changes is because of it. Qi, the concept most central to traditional Chinese medicine, is as fundamental to Chinese medical thought as Yin and Yang.
