The content of ancient Qigong is usually divided into breathing, moving qi, matching qi, persuasion, guidance, alchemy, cultivation, meditation and so on. China's classical Qigong theory is based on the traditional Chinese medicine fitness theory. Qigong is also divided into hard qigong and internal strength:
hard qigong
In China Wushu, sitting on a horse and standing on a pile while practicing is mainly to make the muscles of the whole body tense, so as to consciously control each group of voluntary muscles and semi-voluntary muscles, and the qi needs to sink into the abdomen (see the concept of "acupoints"). The modern term is abdominal breathing. Try to pull down the diaphragm, tighten the lowest part of the abdominal muscles, and feel the gas sink into the abdomen.
internal work
Buddhist meditation, Taoist health exercises (and modern soft exercises) all belong to this category. There is no need to tighten muscles. Pay attention to take a deep breath and let it have no distractions. Slow Taiji preaching and China Wushu Nanquan Wing Chun's introductory boxing thought all belong to this category. Soft qigong can strengthen vital capacity without consuming a lot of physical strength, and can also exercise muscles all over the body, including semi-voluntary muscles and (passively) move internal organs.
