        Namely qigong theory mainly follow their keep fit health theory, although qigong has dual function of medical and health, but the medical role for longer than virtual and real as diarrhea, qigong therapy in the treatment of other commonly used, but also directly or indirectly and complement virtual related, the traditional theory of preserve one's health is identical, the ancient houses keep fit health said, such as active, the main static and the refined, adjustable air, food YaoEr breeding, the theory and practice, in the very great degree has been influence and guides qigong activities and qigong academic development, especially the dynamic form, static god, adjustable gas theory and qigong are in most close relations.

        The initiative, which stands for the human body movement to maintain the body (in moving a form). This theory is the basis of, the form is the life, relying on the spirit of home yu, qi and blood circulation is moving form. This is the first zhuangzi · deliberately ", call: "blow 呴 breathing, get out, bears the bird, for it is life. This guidance people, livelihood of the people who PengZuShou test of good also." Followed by the lu shi chun qiu "said more clear:" a rolling stone gathers no moss, dynamic; form gas also however, form still is fine don't flow, fine don't flow is qi depression." Obviously, zhuangzi words is a combination of qigong said, lv buwei say though not contact qigong, but his remarks, which puts forward the "dynamic shape" claim, and analysis of the movement for the importance of nutrients flow, so long as qigong model. Qigong the ancient times have called the guider, guidance of original meaning is to point to one of the "guide gas make and pull-ups make soft", that is, body movement; Hua tuo creating one of the bases for five animals exercise, "ancient the first person, for guidance, bear the owl's eyes, and lead in waist body, move the joints, in order to difficult old"; Ge hong in the laid hold of the period of words, to guide "to move a form" range and function summed up: "or bowed out, or pitch, or do lie, or leaning on a stand, or walk to and fro, or to stroll, or sing or interest, all guidance also... guide therapy did not suffer from the disease, not through the air, the move is the off gas chang." Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say, qigong of moving work of the theoretical basis for the all. And dance lines painted pottery basin of promote dance, miu the guidance diagram of acrobatics scene, the history of road of the big dance, even to the contemporary health qigong skills, it is the carrier of this thought.

        The Lord is static, that is to improve the human body to quiet manner (in static repose). The basic basis is, god is the master of human life activities and movability difficult static characteristics, therefore, should keep clean for. The old "quietism" is its origin. Such as "Lao zi" think "static for rashness gentleman", advocate "the virtual pole, ShouJing tuk", or even think "had nothing, air complacent, in order to raise medicine". "Chuang tzu" water, for example, about static health significance, "water static of Ming and ErKuang spirit", so "virtual static indifferent to fame or benefit, lonely doing nothing" is "the word of god". Physicians have similar paper, such as neijing "indifferent to nothing, and the true qi from the" theory. This ancient qigong home with approval, so many static work piece to appear one after another, such as ancient Confucian sitting to forget, heart zhai, Taoist on Sunday (internal Dan), release home six tip, wall view, mani necessary situations, etc.; As a modern in work, three line relaxation work, etc. Qigong schools also with static work which is, such as deep breathing pie, save to send, statically determinate pie, ZhouTianPa, all outside (form) in static (breathing and thoughts) dynamic as the common characteristic. In addition, three adjustable operation "breathing four phase" inductive and interest phase advocate, "read a generation mannen" and "hope" save as to the method put forward; Qigong in ancient static work place in dynamic work before, static work than moving work number of phenomenon; Qigong exercise general with relax static as the basic requirements; Modern research of qigong function state, also by the "static" set index thinking... Also from one side to confirm the static repose on the influence of qigong.

        But after all, form and god to human body health character is equally important, and difficult points of the same caliber, the dynamic and static to preserve one's health is equally important, only "spiritual Ann on form, and NianShou how long". In view of this, the ancient Chinese qigong home puts forward "breathes with practice dirty, guidance to and body," the law of combining static, this may be qigong from health and health more than the reason.

        Through the aftercare qi has health care practice, "pipe" "fine also person, the spirit JingZhe also" theory, the likelihood is adjustable air health said early basis. The theory of the core argument is, qi is the basic life is related to people's life, death, illness and old age, need to keep full but not virtual; Gas is the operation of life, come in and go out regularly, lift have often. According to the characteristics and requirements, qigong exercise, whether dynamic or static reactive power, basically all focus on gas "quantity", "quality" and the operation of the gas. As a result of "qi, who was in the day", so many nano air method, through the long suction short call, two suction a call wait for a method, strengthen the inspiratory, think so can "heaven and earth gas mine", increased gas "quantity", the modern qigong breathing exercises, new qigong therapy, etc., is such skills; ZhouTianPa is LianGongZhe own spirit as "drug", through a certain operation, will introduce into the "tripod furnace" (the pubic region), then through the ideas under the guidance of the role of breathing, make its along the ren and du vein circumfluence operation, and ultimately form "inside Dan", makes a man healthy longevity. More skills, is through the different "three adjustable" operation function in the operation of the gas, the operation mode has two kinds: one is to strengthen the operation of the whole body meridian qi and blood, i.e., the same route, speed; The second is a temporary change in the direction of the operation of main and collateral channels, borrow to "finish" special "task". If the ZhouTianGong ren meridian qi run from top to bottom, is in order to complete the gas in du meridian of the "Sunday" operation. Three line relaxation work in order to make the head facial blood down, "borrow" third hand three Yin Yang, qi and blood by the head face down to his hands; "Borrow" foot three Yang meridians and let vein, foot three Yang and du meridian, respectively follow belly department, back waist qi and blood will be down to the foot. With gas attack disease, in order to make the inside air to disease, and also can "borrow" lesions nearby meridian and change the direction of travel.
