Qi
In the Sinosphere, qi ( ) or ''chi''}} is traditionally believed to be a vital force part of all living entities. Literally meaning 'vapor', 'air', or 'breath', the word ''qi'' is polysemous, often translated as 'vital energy', 'vital force', 'material energy', or simply 'energy'. Qi is also a concept in traditional Chinese medicine and in Chinese martial arts. The attempt to cultivate and balance qi is called ''qigong''.Believers in qi describe it as a vital force, with one's good health requiring its flow to be unimpeded. Qi is a pseudoscientific concept, and does not correspond to the concept of energy as used in the physical sciences, with the notion of vital force itself being abandoned by the scientific community.
Chinese gods and immortals, especially anthropomorphic gods, are sometimes thought to have qi and be a reflection of the microcosm of qi in humans, both having qi that can concentrate in certain body parts. Provided by Wikipedia
