Scientific developments and interrelations among sciences are becoming increasingly evident; those fields formerly not closely related with medical science have begun to become closely related with medical science; medical science also traverses basic knowledge day by day. Thus, basic knowledge expand horizontally and thus cause knowledge structures to make important changes. Based on the above -ment ioned changing S4 tuations, medical @L professional knowledge arrangements follow biomedical models and, evolve to bio-psycho-social medical models; thus changing the profeSS4 C 4- 0 S cl-riginal medical Lonal )unowledge arrangiE@ments.

The arrangements of technological knowledge I-Lave alreak-3-y caused medical experts to ne-ces-sary arrangements, but along with the new technological revolution and development, reliance upon Scien"Ci-fic technology of the medical science is increasingly evident.

BRIEF HISTORY OF CHINESE QIGONG AND OUTLI.NE or THE STUDY The Chi,nes,e_,Ai-qona s-tudy o,r,igi.n.a.t.el-d--.-f-r,om--,--th,e human-beings' long at ru gj@tj@_qainst diseases. As early as several thousan years C f Luzi String and Autumn Annals ago, according t 'Eh writing o (IC-hunqiu) . Guyue): At the beginning of Taotang Tribe (the tribe to which Yao-Shun belonged), they had much rain and rivers flooded, tides were wet and cold; consequently, people's mood was stagnant and blood was silted, bones and muscles were tired and uneasy; "therefore, they danced (zuowu) and called it dao.11 "Zuowul' is the first form of daoyin. Qigong is our country's oldest 11daoyin, "daoyin-xingqi," sometimes called briefly 11dac," 11yin", and it -the part of x'.'iagqi is called 11 tuna (pushing out and admitting) Cons equent ly, qigong is the result of ancient people's struggle against bad environment and their own sickness. Qigong has made itself a discipline, and come with its theory 4 and practice. Results of experiments are the experiences and lessoA6plear pd gnr formed gradually during several thousands roved' or e ease 2001/03/07: CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0200650020-3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0200650020-3 LN 201-91 years. The first recorded letters related with q4gong were found V going bacl: to the early Era of warring states ( about 38" B.C.) 4 (xJngqi-yuj-ongninq) . In this document it is written: "In Ln -L L- xingqi, deepness is accumulation,: accumulation is stretching; stretching is bcttom; bottom is settled; settling is solid; solid is budding; budding is long; long is returning; returning is heaven. Heaven is above; earth is below. obeying is removing; sending is dying." In (The Era of Slavery System) Comrade Guo Mc- Jd as follows: "Bl-eath in deep means its Volume 4S large., ruo s a L A L and makes it- go down and stretch and is settled to be solid; then breath out. Like budding of grasses and plants, going upward and it takes the opposite route of that of getting in deep, and gets -he peah. In this manner, the heaven makes out and retreating to t - L., -h mahes it easy -,o move down. to easy to move up, whi le the eart t Following this means going; being against it means death.11 What has been said means that, it already mentioned about a kin"" of disciplined and adjusted breathing method, which is a kind of tranquility sk i -1. 1 s . During the Qii- Dynasl["y 1221-2107 B.C.) and the Han Dynasty (206 P.D. 02C@, qigonc became a kind of therapy of the Chinese medicine; and there were already professional writings and at the same. time it was transmitte@ tc% the m8ss and spread widely. For example, (liar, shu zh iwe nz'.',, i) . (Huangti-Zazibu) twelve volumes and (HuaLng-~li-'~l,'-ba-;.e.r.,-~io) ten volumes. Among the medical books copied C;1*1 silk discovered in 19"-,, from the Zhangsha Mawangdui Han tomb t'lere were two volumes cccncerning qigo-,-ig. One volume wrote about breat'hing dacyin curing many diseases and the breathing methods required f.uring the curing; different methods for curing different Cher volume was a look of d`agrams; i sicknEsEes.,. And the o4 I_; - t had abc,ut 410 pieces cf pictures showing various body movements and postures. Each Picture had writings for explanation. From these pictures an& explanation,,:@, it is possible to see that different h.inds of sicknesses required different methods of qigong therapies; th-`Ls has emhodied principles and characteristics of dialectic of C 11L-. inese medicine. After thea Qin and Han Dynasties, during the time C-E the 'Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) , Tao Hong-jing ne-.,qly arranged historical sources into (Yangxing-Yanming-Lu--Book On increasing strength and prolonging life) . During the era of Sui Dynasty (581-618) and Tang Dynasty (613-907), qigona was approved to incorporate it as an 4ndispensable method of medical practice. Sin--e then throughout Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, many famous medical books contained discussions related with qigong. From the above, it[.- car, be seen that, theories and practices of- Chinese qigong have been the results of wisdom of working people 4---hroughoul-- several thousand years from ancient times of Qing and Han to Song, Yuan, and to Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the above, we discussed relations of Chinese q-igong science with modern sciences and modern medical sciences.

The f irst of t-he,@:e started duri,-,g the times of the Spring and 7-"utumn Period 0-476 L. C. ) and tI.e. Warr';ng S"L-.a+--a-s (475- 24-1 B.C.). During this period, under in'fluei'lces '04' materiali3tic views and naive dialectic ideas generated by man,", scholars, medical prcfessionals developed medical 4 science from t--hE theories, adoptling sufficiently achi-eveiiients @@-JE natural and social sciences of that time, transplanting many such as idezas of yinyang-wux-ing (five elements) and Jing (energy, I J spirit) , qi (Vital Energy) , shc-n (E-pirit, mind) , et-c. 1171h u s t 11, e 1, covered and synthesized several thousand years' human medical c-aring e.@.periences and formed a comprehensive theoretical system of Chinese r.-,edica'L' sc.-Lence relating life phenomena, diseases of human body and their treat-ments, And, thus they produced (Huangti Neijing) , which is a brilliant great book. TIF-e book made it to de-.'@-elop into clinical medicine, started experiences of curing diseases wiiL-.h plant medicines, further developed into curing using many 1-lquid forms, thus improving curing effects. They accelerated n J- 1-1 - the medicine to break away from mysterious sorcery, and made medical theories and acupunctural techniques to be applied to drugs and pushed them into a new stage. Then thereafter numerous facts were proved and developed regularities objectively existing such as jingluo (main and collateral channels, regarded as a network of passages, through which vital energy circulates and along which the acupuncture points are d4Lstributed),-zangx.-;Lzng (state of internal organs) , -IL.-.ianren-.@-,,iangying (heaven and men corresponding tc each other), e t" c . This represented the first scientific and technological breakthrough. To consider the causes of this breakthrough: Cn the one hand, there were many scholars rose and there was created an environment in which many scholars could debate and argue their theories and technologies. on the other hand, it is due t1o the fact that Chinese medicine belonged to the ancient natural science's unified theoretical syEtem, thus this -4P a c t m-;- de 4 tto be sufficiently open and had advantages to mutually penetrat.e intlo many fia-lds cf sciences each other. The second major devElopment came when Zhang -@Iong-jing Completed it toward the end of the Eastern Han (2-5-220) . His book entitled (Oha.,,,,ghan-ZabJng-:,un -- diseases caus ed by harmful cold Approved Fbr Releas-eL 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0200650020-3 6 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0200650020-3 LN 201-91 fa---.crs) presented a dialectic therapeutic theory; thus it made the ancient theorEtical medical science to he -7o,-cb-;;.ned with clinical medicine anUA organ.-Lzed its theories and various medicines in a consistent line thus overcoming conflicts and inc-onsistencies of the theories 01: (Neiiing) against clinical facts. it improved greatly not only curing the shanghan (diseases caused by harmful cold factors) but also improved effects of curing c-c-mmunicative diseases. Dialectic therapeutic theory is an important characteristic of Chinese medicine and led the ent, ire Chinese medicine in 17001s. The .L. third important development was the baqiying.%ue f making qi to generate blood) dialectic theory proposed by various doctors in tne ii ang@@.-i Prc,.,.-;Li,,.c e rEpre- s ent- ed by a man c a]. 1 ed Ye Ta in-- s'Aii T'-ie th---ory e.--,'p1j_ainEd I .L. the mechanism of causes, cccurrences and changes, of fevers, and created substantially unique methods of curing and medicines, thus improving effects of curing fevers. F@Dwever, it is wcrth noting that, from Zhang Zhong-jing throur,J11-4 Ye Tian-shi, all the maniy new and practical matters of 1. ninese redicine dit-'l not separated from the theoretical franewDrk C o -@ (11,Teij Jng) , simply f il" ing Jts vclumes by ref ining it over and j _L _L L over again. As to the causes of forming this situation, what scholars dill_@ was that they changed from the open system of the initial Chinese medicine gradually toward a closed systema. Now sch:D.Iars a r gu e In view of development of sciences and technolcgi-;_@-s, Chinese medicine cannot- escape from opening up again departini@: from the closed state of affairs. We can declare that, Chinese must open, once again ano definitely it should make developing oil a nature of breakthrough, achievIng higher level of sciences leaving the isolative aspects. some other scholars argue: The moving force, speed and key of the develcpment of Chinese medicine lies in its own contradiction a.-.d movement; outside environmEnt still may be advantageous " L. -ly '--he outside conditions. In order to utilize sufficient L@ conditions, take initiative to welcome the challenges of modern -ive strategic sciences and technologies and should adopt cooperat ideas. Cooperate well Chinese and Western medicines, and relationship between Chinese medicine and other sciences; thus making Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical sciences to inherit and develop Chinese medicine's theory of qi. Based on unique principles such as Taiji and Bagua (Eight Diagrams) cooperate well various related sciences following many routes to accelerate development of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical sciences. What has been p-resented above is the present day status of development of Chinese medicine. The developmental status of C_h-Lnese qigong science is also closely related with the development of -hniese medicine and has many, many relations. Therefore, oi' en Chinese medi--ine is situated at, the closed stage, Chinese qigong science has also received many pressures for many years, and its original face was covered with colors of feudal superstition.s.

Chinese qigong science has become a new science and has characteristics of comprehensive science, systems science, information science and control science. T .hus, it is situated at a development stage. Not only the study of fundamental nature of qi but also mechanism of qi are studied from various angles of many sciences. So, superstitious mysterious aspects seen in the recent past have been eliminated and it has been pursued through cooperation and exchanges from many sciences and has developed into a new science, but still it is a science that contains several thousand years' basic practices. These recent years there have been more than one thousand pieces of articles published. For details, see the Appendix. This is the present status of Chinese qigong science. In re,--ent years, Chinese qigong science has come out as a category of science (like medical science) not only in the field Of basic theo--ies but alsc in the field of application, and has stepped into comprehensive research with various sciences, exchanges and applications from them.

Clinical practices of Chinese qigong science for difficult complicated cases. (The above listed researches have been presented first on their respective specialty publications; then afterwards they are also presented or published at different meetings and journals). At- present, The Chinese immunology Research Center has gradually moved to clinical researches through basic researches, and rapidly forming system models of medicine, immunology and rehabilitation medicine possessing our country's characteristics. These new models also, due to their all directions postures, will reach wider areas of qigcng immunology. These represent challenges to us. refore the challenges, it is necessary for us to propose new strategies, concrete measures. When the new and old models revolve, obstacles of the old ideas must go through borrowing and reexamining modern sciences, dig out our country's various potential forces and make them to move the old model-, forward and gradually form Eystems and models of medicine, immunology and rehabilit-ation medicine possessing our country's characteristics. To suimmarize what have been said above, the Chinese qigong science possessing our country's characteristics, from now on, must make progress forward with theories and practices of modern scienceE', modern medical sciences and many other sciences, so that i-IC can run the road of a comprehensive science; at t-he same time, ,ue must emphasize that we must break and eliminate feudal superctit-ions, and at the same tin,,.e, at associations, scientific --Jngs and academic meetings, under the leadership of research meet &. various levels of organizations and scientific researches, we must cooperate proceed together for the purpose of each other and const-ruction of the father land's four modernization and progress of the world medical science and health of humankind.
