Zhang Zai's "True Dreams and Taihe Articles": "Too empty can't be without qi, qi can't be gathered into everything, and everything can't be too empty." Qi is divided into yin and yang, suggesting that quality and energy are one, and everything is transformed from qi.

It is also the functional vitality of all tissues and organs, such as the qi of viscera and the qi of meridians.

"Huangdi Neijing Su Wen Yi Jing Hua Qi": "Those who gain the spirit prosper, those who lose the spirit die."
