Are most of China’s health-preserving theories pseudoscience?

The legendary Chinese Qigong is true.

Qigong is a traditional Chinese method of health care, health preservation and disease relief. It is a physical and mental exercise method that uses the adjustment of breathing, physical activity and consciousness (breath adjustment, shape adjustment, and mind adjustment) as a means to strengthen the body, prevent and treat diseases, keep fit and prolong life, and develop potential. . There are many sects, including Taoism, Buddhism and many self-contained practices. They have their own characteristics, but they are still used in clinical practice. The only one recognized by the state for research and development is traditional Chinese medicine. This is our traditional Chinese medicine. "Acupuncture" "Learning" and "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" book boxes will systematically introduce the direction, distribution, function of meridians, the feeling of breath, etc.

It’s definitely true, but it’s not as outrageous as it is boasted on TV or in movies. I am currently majoring in acupuncture and massage. I heard that starting from my sophomore year, professional classes will include exercises and Shaolin Internal Kung Fu and Yi Jin Jing. The effect is only to speed up the blood circulation in the body. It is not very possible to break the rocks.

Personally, I am opposed to the statement "Jinwu stick shadow". Scientific theory is used to explain objective phenomena, and it does not mean that all objective phenomena are consistent with scientific theories. Traditional Chinese medicine is a good example. Who can use existing scientific theories to fully explain traditional Chinese medicine? But the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is obvious to all. The medical community is also paying more and more attention to traditional Chinese medicine. Several state universities in the United States have established research institutes of traditional Chinese medicine. However, we Chinese have been making the same mistake since the May 4th Movement and did not pay enough attention to it.

Qigong also plays a great role in martial arts, but this will only be felt in later stages of practice. However, when many laymen first get started, they only focus on horizontal exercises and ignore the practice of internal strength, and they think they are practicing "hard Qigong". Therefore, it is not difficult to find a phenomenon now. Most martial artists from other families decline quickly when they reach middle age, and they are prone to diseases such as rheumatism. This is caused by improper practice.
