title: Chinese Qigong Essentials
author: Yuefang Cen
description: Qigong is a unique health-promoting system created by the Chinese people to adjust them to the social, historical and cultural environments in which they live. What makes qigong different from other systems of physical training is the use of the mind to regulate the performance of the various organs in the body, to bring about a high degree of harmony between the mind and the body, and to promote their all-round improvement in the interest of heath and longevity.
