Yuanqi, the earliest concept of ancient Chinese philosophy. The primitive substance that makes up all things. Yuanqi theory is the basic material concept of ancient Chinese about life and nature. Yuan means the beginning, that is to say, Yuan Qi is the root of everything.

Yuanqi theory is one of the most important traditional Chinese cosmology. It originated early, spread for a long time, and has a wide and deep influence. Since the emergence of Qi Theory in ancient times, it has been lasting for a long time through the Han, Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Moreover, the thinkers of the past dynasties have continuously extended the theory of Yuan Qi, which makes the content of the theory of Yuan Qi increasingly rich and rigorous.

The ideological content of Yuanqi theory can not only reflect its philosophical position, but also show its thinking level. In fact, the cosmology of Yuanqi theory not only has a relatively complete ideological system, but also penetrated into many fields of ancient Chinese scientific knowledge, and became an ideological tool to explain and understand various natural phenomena in ancient China.

Interpretation of vitality

"Yuanqi" is a philosophical concept in ancient China, which refers to the original material that produces and constitutes all things in the world. Yuan refers to the origin of all things in heaven and earth. In the history of ancient Chinese philosophy, the theory of Yuanqi is a world outlook for people to understand nature. It was basically formed in the "theory of mind Qi" of song Chuan and Yin Wen in the Warring States period, and developed in Wang Chong's "theory of Yuanqi nature" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Zhang Zai's "theory of Yuanqi essence" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yuanqi theory takes Yuanqi as the basic material of the world, and explains the generation, development, change and extinction of all things in the universe by the movement and change of Yuanqi. This simple materialist philosophy occupies a very important position in the history of ancient Chinese philosophy and has a profound impact on the development of natural science. As a view of nature, Yuanqi theory is a general understanding of the whole material world. Because human life activity is a special form of material movement, Yuanqi theory not only makes a materialistic explanation of the generation of all things and various natural phenomena, but also puts forward simple views on the origin of human life and related physiological phenomena. The understanding of human life based on Yuanqi theory is "Yuanqi theory". Yuanqi theory has greatly promoted the formation and development of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and Qigong.

"Qi gathering leads to life, strong Qi leads to health, weak Qi leads to decline, and scattered Qi leads to death.". "The accumulation of Qi is blocked, and the dispersion of Qi is unblocked.". Yin Qi governs the material, Yang Qi governs the function, and Yin and Yang transform each other.

On Yuanqi

The simple theory of "Yuan Qi" in ancient China holds that "Yuan Qi" is the most essential and primitive element of all things in the universe. According to the theory of Yuanqi, the emergence, extinction, development and change of all things are the result of Yuanqi's movement along the "Tao" (i.e. natural law). Qi is the essence of all things, completely continuous and ubiquitous. The Qi gathers and forms, and becomes a kind of material object, while the Qi disperses and returns to Taixu, which shows the disappearance of the material object. ——Zhang Zaiyun in Northern Song Dynasty

In a person's life, at the beginning of his birth, the amount of Yuanqi is the most powerful and sufficient. At this time, if you know how to practice, you can get beyond the limit of life and death in a very short time. With the continuous development of the body, Yuanqi, on the one hand, supplies the needs of body growth, at the same time, continuous human activities are also the way to dissipate Yuanqi, and at the end At the end of life, the vitality in the human body is finally exhausted, and the body dies like a lamp. Therefore, the amount of vitality is related to the length of life. Although life and death are in line with the principle of nature, with continuous cultivation and accumulation, we can live a long life.
