What does regulating qi mean?

It means a pair of categories of China's ancient philosophy. "Reason" is a spiritual thing, while "Qi" is a material thing. Idealists say that "reason" is the origin of all things in the world, and "qi" is subordinate to "reason". Materialists affirm that "Qi" is fundamental, without which "Reason" would not exist.

Drugs used to regulate qi-flowing diseases, relax qi-flowing and make qi-flowing unobstructed are called qi-regulating drugs. Prescriptions based on qi-regulating drugs are called qi-regulating prescriptions.

Regulating qi can also be used as a noun of feng shui. One of the 26 schools of ancient geomantic omen. The Book of Yin and Yang in Tang Dynasty recorded the detailed division of ancient geomantic schools.

"Yin and Yang Feng Shui" disappeared from China after the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, it was introduced to China from Japan. At this time, most of the geomantic materials are in Japanese, and the convenience of translation and circulation makes the geomantic schools retain the "rational style" and "chaotic school" on the land of China.
