Chi Gung OR Qigong
and WHY?
Chi Gung, Qigong, Qi Gong, Ch'i Kung, Chi Kung all mean the same thing - life energy work. They are all a way to try and write Chinese in roman text.
The three main ways to represent the Chinese characters for this ancient practice in roman text are: Pinyin = Qigong, Wade-Giles = ch'i kung and Yale = chi gung.
Developed in the 1950s, Pinyin (Qigong) has now been adopted by both China and Taiwan, as well as the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to write Mandarin in roman text.
The Wade-Giles (ch'i kung) system was developed by Thomas Wade in the mid 19th century and further refined in the early 20th century by Herbert and Lionel Giles. It has largely been replaced by the Pinyin system except in older documents, especially in Taiwan, where Pinyin was not officially adopted until 2008.
The Yale (chi gung) system was developed in 1943 as a simple and easy-to-teach system for the American military. It used the spelling of the word in English to assist the user in making the correct Chinese pronunciation.
