Overview of Zhineng Qigong Science: Textbook Series of Zhineng Qigong - 1

As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the gem of ancient science in China and reflects deep Chinese philosophical wisdom, Qigong that acts as the foundation and quintessence of clinical TCM can be used as another key to open the treasure bank of Chinese civilization. “In Qigong, TCM and paranormal abilities are hidden the fundamental truth of human life science. Instead of being mythical and mysterious, the three of them are closely associated with the forefront development of modern science and technology.” (Qian Xuesen, a famous Chinese scientist) This book written by Prof. Pang Ming in the 1990s talks about the basic concept of Qi, the definition of Qigong, the different Qigong schools and their common features, and the significance of Qigong development. It explicates emphatically the connotations and the denotations of such concepts as Qigong, Qigong science and Zhineng Qigong science. It expounds the special features of the method, the methodology and the methodological foundation of Qigong science as well as its relationship with modern sciences. It also explores the role and the significance of Qigong science in the entire background of human culture. Additionally, it introduces Zhineng Qigong and Zhineng Qigong science and the essentials of effective Zhineng Qigong practice. Finally, it discusses the relationship between Qigong, traditional Chinese medicine and paranormal abilities.This book, as a programmatic document on Qigong and Qigong science for everyone working in the field of Zhineng Qigong and other types of Qigong (and also for people interested in Chinese culture and human life science), is worth consciously studying and mentally processing.
