It is true.
Qigong is real, only many people on the market use it to fictionalize a scam, the fictionalized qigong does not exist. The real reason why qigong can be fitness is because the operation of qi in the body is in accordance with the meridians, and Chinese medicine is most concerned about the meridians in treating diseases.
In fact, qigong is not as magical as we all think it is, and it is real. It is just a kind of kung fu for exercising and strengthening the body. It can strengthen the body and cultivate the sentiment.
It is different from some frauds that threaten that practicing qigong can give you supernormal capabilities, and it is only similar to our tai chi and square dancing. Although there are many different types of qigong, each with its own characteristics, the basic principle of practicing qigong is "to lead the qi with the mind, step by step, and combine movement and static", and generally requires specialized instruction.
Qigong is a kind of fitness art unique to China. It is basically divided into two categories: one is mainly static, standing still, sitting still, or lying still, so that the spirit is concentrated and a special way of breathing is used to promote the functioning of the circulatory, digestive and other systems. The other category is movement-based, generally using gentle exercise drills, massages and other methods, and insisting on regular exercise to enhance physical fitness.
In ancient times, according to the different methods of gong, respectively, they were called tuana, guiding, walking qi, serving qi, eating qi, practicing qi, sitting in meditation, sitting meditation, or neigong, and so on. It is characterized by the practitioner's subjective efforts to exercise his mind and body with the combination of intention, qi and body to achieve fitness and prevention of disease.
There are many records of qigong in the classical works of Confucianism and Taoism, and qigong is a traditional Chinese method of health care, health maintenance, and disease elimination. Anciently known as "dan dao", qigong is a method of physical and mental exercise that aims at strengthening the body, preventing and curing diseases, prolonging life, and developing the potential of the body and mind by means of adjusting the breathing, physical activity, and consciousness.
