Qigong to subject development

HuangJian Shanghai university of TCM

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Qigong existing problems, are obviously, unavoidable, these problems covers the discipline construction and management measures, talent cultivation, the scientific research level, and other aspects. The results led to the core competitiveness of qigong weakening, qigong subject to development.

        Discipline construction lag

        Now, after two development climax after the baptism, qigong disciplines basic framework formation. The main sign is, qigong hospitals, clinics and the establishment of medical institutions, including the undergraduates, bo master graduate student education system, the formation and qigong planning the publication of the teaching material, professional research institute, scientific research institutions, such as the setting of, state and local health qigong management center to establish, China medical association, the world medical qigong qigong society and China association of health qigong legally registered and operation.

        But the problem still lags behind the discipline construction is more outstanding, such as the "software" aspects: the connotation and denotation of qigong unknown, medical qigong and health qigong definition not clear, qigong academic activities, especially normal academic debate the shortages and weakening; "Hardware" have: qigong professional institutions small amount and small scale, from personnel quantity deficiency, age faults, unbalanced structure. All of which, make qigong discipline construction not only greatly behind its related subject, but also to the requirements of the people and qigong, want to go to is not consistent with; Yoga "exotic" faster development of the reality in China, is from another Angle has highlighted the qigong discipline construction of backward into a corner.

        The management measures

        Any activity widely, normal, the launch of the must be in strict, comprehensive management as guarantee, qigong is no exception. Review of recent decades qigong management, seem to be able to use "JiuHuoShi" and "BaoMShi" to describe. Beginning at the end of 1970 s second qigong climax, the fast development, involving the regional wide, personnel is unprecedented in the management of department has not yet accordingly, qigong climax in China has been the standard rise, this leads directly to the s and s qigong activities almost completely in spontaneity, unsoundness state, late eighty s began, the management for qigong activities in "fire". As for a period of time without card of medical practice qigong activities appear, the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine in November of 1989, issued a "on strengthening the management of medical qigong some provisions, in order to regulate the health qigong activities; According to the emergence of commercial qigong activities, industry and commerce, taxation, the price administration department also successively is these three aspects on the related management methods. But these passive, "JiuHuoShi" management effect is not good, managers and managers were between "cat and mouse" type of game common occurance, so that the flow of revealed the name of with qigong, do big science, to the human, the society, the reality of the government, the development of the cause of qigong caused serious damage.

        For the management of the century health qigong is completely is "BaoMShi", state general administration of sports "issued by the health qigong management method", the definition of health qigong, skills examination and approval, activities, from personnel established site qualifications, etc, to the full range of standard. From the result, this means of qigong activity "bring order out of chaos" really played a role, but then came the qigong participate in enough staff, so that to the country and the people into qigong for the benefits of the "input-output ratio imbalance, qigong and health care for people, to prevent and cure diseases played a limited role. So the two management model in fact not ideal, or are not fully comply with the development of the discipline of qigong characteristics. In addition, the current "medicine by the department of health qigong pipe, the health qigong by sports department tube" the division of labor management system, its deficiency is obvious. Based on the author's opinion, the experience for reference to other subjects, to strengthen the construction of industry standards, the government management department and industry association (learning) will "management" mode, it is worth a try.

        Professionals lack

        Because the writer of the present situation of health qigong is not very understanding, so here said the lack of talented, mainly in medical qigong is concerned. At present, the domestic into the size of the medical institutions have qigong in hebei province hospital, Shanghai qigong qigong institute, Beijing university of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine academy of sciences research qigong in hospital, qigong, etc. But even in these units, talent shortage also very outstanding, main show is:

        One is the total number of staff shortage, the above four units (department) in teaching and research section, department personnel were on 10 people the following, the hospital, the total number of personnel, though many, but the real work in a line of qigong was limited, roughly 10 people in the following, other Chinese medicine hospital had mostly qigong for the full-time, part-time employees basic give priority to. Optimistic estimates, at present the national qigong professionals in the total number of 50 people up and down, such a number of insufficient team, should undertake inheritance, carry forward qigong academic mission, not really. From this point of view, the health department called for gansu province medical personnel to learn the true qi operation method, has very important practical significance. If the content of study method of operation by the true qi for the entire expand of the basic theory of qigong, basic method and words, its meaning will be more big.

        2 it is leading the lack of talent, according to not complete count, at present a line of employees with qigong professor, researcher, chief doctor, are senior with accredited less than 10 people, including doctoral tutor only Beijing university of Chinese medicine LiuTianJun of a man. The status quo will be affected qigong the sustainable development of the discipline, to be two qigong century on the climax of the main force leader and mostly still alive, such as hospital in hebei province qigong "four king kong" ZhangTianGe, ZhaoBaoFeng, LiChunCai, tianhong to plan, SongTianBin of Beijing, Shanghai, WangChongHang ZhangWenJiang, ChaiJianYu, zhejiang's LiuYuanLiang, such as the can from now on, for they are equipped with capable assistant, take the experience of the inheritance, could in a relatively short period of time to obtain good results.

        The scientific research level is not high

        The scientific research of qigong started late, from the 1950 s the first article qigong paper, starting today but more than fifty years, the foundation is bad, experience is less; Add in the last ten years, the difficult project funds for the difficult, paper presented difficult, and enough staff and other reasons, make qigong to raise the level of the whole scientific research is very slow in recent years, and high level in the journal of the paper is very rare. Every year in China to Chinese core periodicals published the paper that less than 10 articles, higher level in the journal of the paper is qigong can be counted; In various academic conference of qigong paper communication, and basic to a small number, window not much for features. And the research level is not high, will cause the qigong the core competitiveness of the deficiency, and even affect people to scientific understanding of qigong.

        To strengthen the training of personnel, organization special research and other measures, may be the effective method is to alleviate the financial difficulty. Shanghai high blood pressure in the decades of experience is worth using for reference, their prospective design, large sample observation, decades continuous tracking method, close to the requirements of evidence-based medicine, so the results of their study has not seen the objection.
