Chi Kung Mystery Revealed (I) - What is "Chi-Kung", "Qi-Gong" and "Chi Power"?

The history of Chi Kung can be traced back to about five thousand years ago in China. Since there were emperors ruling over the country claiming to be the "Son of the Sky" (a traditional concept that was used to fool the common people, "Sky" in ancient time in China sometimes is equivalent to "God", the emperors wanted the people to believe that they were authorized by "God" to rule over, so listen and obey at all time, no question asked) who loved the power, glory, position and privilege so much that they wanted immortality.

People of knowledge tried very hard to satisfy their emperor. Roughly speaking, there were two groups of people studying this, the first group tended to use medicine, it ended up that eleven emperors in Chinese history have been poisoned to death by this so called "Immortality Medicine". The second group found that the best medicine had been existing in our bodies already, which were born with. Our job is to cultivate it, make it stronger and accumulate it to a certain part of the body and make use of it. People practice this tends to live longer according to statistics but not yet be immortal. This kind of exercises is called "Chi Kung" to-day.
