Movement is healthy, quietness is healthy, movement is shape, quietness is qi, softness is essence, and essence and essence in qi complement each other.

Coordination and balance, the so-called "coordination", refers to the adjustment of human physiological function and its relationship with the external environment. The so-called "balance" has two meanings: first, it refers to the dynamic balance of normal physiological functions between various parts of the body itself; Second, it refers to the relative balance between body function and material exchange in nature.

In ancient times, it was believed that vital qi was the foundation of life, and the root cause of human diseases and premature aging was the deficiency of vital qi. The exuberance of vital qi is a sign of the coordination of Yin and Yang, the fullness of Qi and blood, the normal function of viscera and meridians, and the external defense of the body, which is the basis of strong machine ratio.
