Summary

Chinese Medicine Qigong is a national traditional Chinese medicine industry higher education "13th Five-Year Plan" textbook, edited by Professor Liu Tianjun of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, intended for undergraduate teaching in Chinese medicine, acupuncture and tuina, rehabilitation therapy, and related majors at higher Chinese medicine institutions. The book is divided into four parts. The first part covers basic theory: it traces the brief history of Chinese medicine qigong from the pre-Qin period to the present, introduces traditional theoretical frameworks such as yin-yang and the five phases, the zang-fu organs and meridians, and essence-qi-spirit, and outlines modern physiological, psychological, and biochemical-immunological research on qigong. The second part covers practical skills: it explains the basic operations of regulating the body, regulating the breath, regulating the mind, and the "unity of the three regulations," describes the classification of methods, practice guidelines, practice reactions, and the correction of deviations, and separately presents commonly used methods such as the Five Animal Frolics, the Six-Syllable Formula, Tendon-Changing Classic, Eight-Section Brocade, standing post practice, relaxation practice, and internal nourishment practice. The third part covers clinical treatment: it discusses the characteristics of qigong therapy, its scope of application, principles of pattern-based treatment, and clinical work standards, and separately introduces its application to hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue, and neck-shoulder-waist-leg pain. The appendix selects classical literature on physicians' qigong and various schools' qigong. Emphasizing both theory and practice, the book is a relatively systematic teaching text for the discipline of Chinese medicine qigong.

Editor's review

中医气功长期处于“有术无学”的尴尬境地:功法散落于医、道、佛、儒、武各家,练法口传心授,理论表述含糊。本教材的意义,正在于把气功真正当作一门学科来教。主编刘天君长期从事中医气功教学与临床,全书结构清晰:先立史与理,再讲操作与功法,最后落到临床辨治,避免只教招式、不讲所以然。技能篇把“三调合一”作为技术核心,把八段锦、五禽戏等常见功法放在统一框架下讲解,并专设练功反应与偏差纠治一节,对自学者尤为要紧。治疗篇强调气功疗法有适应证、有工作规范,不是包治百病,态度审慎。附篇古典文献选读,则为有兴趣深入者留下入口。若你在院校上课、在康复科带教,或想系统而非零碎地了解中医气功,这是一本可信的框架书。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 中医学、针灸推拿学、康复治疗学等专业本科生,作为课程教材使用
  • 康复科、治未病中心的医护人员,希望将功法引入临床
  • 健身气功、传统养生功法的教练与教学者,想补足理论与规范
  • 对中医气功有长期兴趣、希望系统学习的自学者

Not a good fit for

  • 只想找一套速成功法图解、不关心理论的读者
  • 期待本书讲解内丹、特异功能等超出教材范围内容的读者
  • 希望用气功替代规范诊疗、寻求疾病治愈方案的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读绪论与上篇,弄清气功的学科边界与理论框架,再进入功法部分
  2. 技能篇建议边读边练,一次只学一套功法,注意书中练功反应与偏差纠治的提示
  3. 临床篇可结合自身专业选读相关病种,不要跳读辨治原则部分
  4. 有慢性疾病者练习前先咨询医生,把教材当学习资料而非治疗方案

FAQ

这本书和市面上养生书有什么不同?
它属于高等中医药院校规划教材,体例是“理论—技能—临床”,讲功法时给出分类依据、操作规范和临床适用范围,而非只给动作图解和疗效宣传,系统性更强。
没有任何基础能看懂吗?
大部分内容可读,但涉及阴阳五行、脏腑经络的章节需要一定中医基础。零基础读者可先补《中医基础理论》,或从技能篇的放松功、八段锦入门。
照着书自学气功安全吗?
教材专设练功准则、练功反应与偏差纠治,说明编者对风险有清醒认识。建议从简单功法起步、循序渐进,出现明显不适即停止并请教专业老师或医生。
不同版本的《中医气功学》差别大吗?
该书有吕明主编的创新教材版、刘天君主编的“十二五”“十三五”规划教材版,以及章文春、魏玉龙主编的“十四五”版。总体框架相近,新版会更新现代研究与临床内容,按教学要求选用即可。
