HuangJian Shanghai university of TCM

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Equal to the debate whether qigong measunnent is qigong history of the most intense debate, especially when qigong measunnent mistake the equivalent of qigong learn almost fatal blow.

        The "group", "gold", "through time and space", "predict good and bad" ability and qigong have nothing to do. Qigong can only for long life pyramid for health, grace, can make a person into a "superman".

        The debate of qigong, has a long history, even the whole debate throughout qigong development process. Both academic struggle, also have other than academic debate; Different debate, the significance of qigong differ greatly. The main content of the debate about the following respects.

        Action for

        Because some movement made the points qigong, around the dynamic and static methods has been argued for a long time. The Lord of the old static zhuang said, Confucius teacher and pupil of meditation, "classic" advocated "the tian 惔 nothing", the Buddha meditation, Taoist Sunday, etc.; The initiative has "lushi spring and autumn period" and "a" and "classic" guided by the Jue theory, also have wuqinxi, eight period of jin, yi jin jing method, etc. This pure academic for greatly promoted the development and the improvement of qigong, "should be the static, dynamic explain briefly Newton's first law should move" combining static view was almost all accept, and make qigong in theory and practice, the traditional Chinese medicine and preserve one's health is an organic whole, they are a good example.

        S last century, is qigong of the development of a high tide, during the period of "Lord static" method seem to prevail, hebei early in the launch of the function, and later a strong work, Shanghai's three line relax work, and for child sit method, etc all belong to the static reactive.

        Be worth what carry is, the 1950 s also appeared for the first time "action" outside of the academic debate. Data shows, when "Chinese journal of a paper on the qigong therapy practice" and the author LiuGuiZhen puts forward ", "American such as the definition of qigong, qigong mechanism assumption, though not see the response of liu, but from the actual situation he accepted the authors some points of view, the practice qigong treatment of when the definition of qigong edition correction is a example.

        Up to s and s, scholars of the "action" and qigong once had an argument. Its origin and ZhangWenJiang etc may the life is still--traditional Chinese qigong health principle true meaning "(shanxi people's press, 1989), the book will qigong of preserve one's health" truth "sums up in static, not only for the" active deployed is unacceptable, and and pervasive "life lie in sport," said one abhorrent, subject to the argument care about much more than qigong boundary. For this, "Shanghai Chinese medicine journal in 1990 ~ 1992, continuous related articles published, the" action view "qigong debate. Although this debate last and not form a "standard answer", but it and the s and 60 s debate, both sides of the argument are love qigong, original care about qigong, so the result of argument to the development of learning qigong played a positive leading role.

        Measunnent for

        The debate about qigong measunnent, may is qigong history the most intense debate, and the argument only in the modern. Qi gong "measunnent", called "cloth gas", beginning in the jin dynasty (). The ancients explanation is: "learn the vital, to the foot, the gas and more can...... call cloth gas." Which is to think this is exercising the well, their own "redundant" gas give to others, reason is modern called "inside the gas put", hereinafter referred to as "measunnent".

        The documents of the qi gong "cloth gas" are in the "medicinal powder see reach" status, and's last century, this did not see, it is from the rise of the seventy s. In 1978 the science journal nature since the first start, continuous published Shanghai and other scholars about the many papers measunnent research, a lot of attention, "measunnent hot" also formed and warm up quickly, so much so that in quite some time "measunnent" almost became the representative of the qi gong, "measunnent = qigong", "qigong measunnent =" point of view is widely accepted the masses.

        However, the debate about measunnent come and continues today, and the "heat" is always with hot fluctuates measunnent. Take work report, 2000 km long range efforts measunnent of material study of effects of molecules, participate in the greater hinggan mountains measunnent put out the forest fire, qigong successful prediction satellite launch and the publication of the report, "measunnent hot" and argument peaked.

        The focus of the debate over foreign gas basically has two, one is whether measunnent exist? 2 it is how big a role measunnent? The former in "is" (believe measunnent), "the" (don't believe measunnent) for both sides; The latter is "square" internal debate. And the movement for about qigong is different, because not qigong measunnent academic "the main body", it can't represent qigong, so the argument on the whole the development of academy of qigong more harm than good, especially the mistake the measunnent equal qigong, qigong learn almost fatal blow.

        Role for

        Qigong have role? The role of qigong how? This is another focus of debate. Consider all views, the view of qigong effect can be divided into three types: the first is "all sure"--an exaggerated qigong effect, made it fantastic, omnipotent, who published this view looks good will, but the result is "haste makes waste", harmful. The second is "deny"--any haves, even the role of smear qigong. Be worth what carry is, whether die-hard "sure" pie, or the firm's "negative sent", there are many people just can have no contact with qigong, they are all with the knowledge of the inherent and qigong rich imagination, and published their take for granted "sage advice," and "your" sing the stage ", "lucky words v. DuanChang", the result often will "debate" evolved into "farce", the research and development of qigong harmful. The third is the author and the attitude of most medical qigong, think qigong is have a function, but the role of qigong and is not unlimited, but limited. With medical treatment, for example, few disease and syndrome qigong can play the role of leading role, but in most cases, it can only be subordinate and auxiliary status.

        The role of qigong lies mainly in the excavation of the inherent human body potential, that "group", "gold" class can do even if have also has nothing to do with qigong; As for the "through time and space", "predict good and bad" kind of words, or for the novelist imagination, or for people good wish, and qigong also no relationship. Qigong to people, can rise for longevity, for health of lotto grace effect, can make a person into a "superman". Therefore, on the discussion of the function of qi gong and, in fact, is beyond the scope of the academic.

        Subject for

        Although some people recognized qigong there is action, but deny that it is an independent academic discipline, but a part of the psychology or sports. Investigate its reason, and these people don't fully understand about the qigong, they only pay attention to the qigong or the heart, to conclude that the psychological therapy, or see only the qigong to regulate the body, thus think it is a kind of sports. In addition, there are people in the ranks of yoga, behavior qigong medical sciences. This and in a period of time, people see only qigong pranayama function and defines it as breathing exercises, made "little vision problems.

        In fact, qigong and above psychology, sports, yoga, breathing exercise and the distinction that having essence, whether theory or operation, qigong national colour, Chinese characteristics, three adjustable melts a, as well as with psychology originated in the west, three of the missing the situation is completely different. As for the each other between them from the development of the discipline is necessary in the process, and the ownership of the subject is irrelevant. It's like although religious writings of reliable qigong preserved the literature, many religious people also in practice, but we can't this will equate the religious paints and qigong. Subject to the classification and ownership, from theory, method, operation and function of connotation of, not only by a recruit a type or the word.
