Qi
Qi, also commonly spelled ch'i (in
Wade-Giles romanization) or ki (in
romanized Japanese), is a fundamental concept of traditional
Chinese culture. Qi is believed to be part of every living thing that exists, as a kind of “
life force” or “
spiritual energy”. It is frequently translated as “energy flow", or literally as “air” or “breath”. (For example, "tiānqì", literally “sky breath”, is the ordinary Chinese word for "
weather"). In Mandarin Chinese it is pronounced something like "chee" in English, but the tongue position is different. (See .)
