A Short History On Qi Gong
Meditative routines have a very long history in China. They generally spring from its martial arts background, as the practitioner was taught that control over his body would be crucial in combat. Eventually, a number of these practices would find use in non-combative areas. Qi gong is certainly one such practice, as control over wind (a loose translation) is important in combat, but also in keeping a person healthy.
