How did Qi Gong and Taiji evolve?
Chinese farmers refined those breathing and movement techniques. They noted an increase in vitality and mental acuity; these practices continued to evolve and the ancient masters began to observe a sense of well-being and relaxation while exercising. These movements were precursors to Taoist meditation practices, Taiji Quan and Qi Gong. Qi Gong means ‘qi exercise’; it is also known as ‘longevity method’. Those were the very early discoveries of how qi influenced health and well-being. Chinese medicine grew out of these initial discoveries.
