Older words for what is now referred to as Qi Gong were:
Dao Yin ... to lead and guide
Tu Na ... to expel and receive
Hu Xi ... to breath out and breath in.
Each main tradition had a different word for sitting practice:
Jing Zuo ... quiet sitting, was Confucian
Da Zuo ... doing sitting, was Daoist
Zuo Chan .... sitting meditation, was Buddhist.
Miss Li’s teacher’s school was called:
Si Min Wu Shu She
The People’s Martial Arts Society.
Where Si Min, for People’s, literally meant the four main traditional occupations:
Shi, Nong, Gong, Shang
Or professionals, farmers, workers and merchants.
