Talk:Jing (Chinese medicine)

Untitled
We have a qualifier in the article "according to traditional Chinese medicine". To have a polemic about how Chinese medicine somehow isn't scientifically true misses the point, as we aren't saying it is. We are reporting a cultural concept that is many centuries old, not debating it. --Fire Star 火星 13:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

This is not what was discused in Avatar: The Last airbender
The force discussed in Avatar was 'Jin', not 'Jing'. It's under 'Nei Jin'. Please do not reference the show here.

Removed porridge recipe
Hi, I have removed the porridge recipe, as I was trained (in Asia) that Ginseng and Ginger should not be given at the same time.86.146.12.57 (talk) 09:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

What does "fixed" mean?
In the sentence, "One is said to be born with a fixed amount of jīng (pre-natal jīng, also sometimes called yuan qi) and also can acquire jīng from food and various forms of stimulation (exercise, study, meditation.)", what does "fixed" mean? Since more can be acquired, the amount isn't fixed, unless "fixed" has some other reference. Perhaps "fixed" could be changed to "certain". --BB12 (talk) 00:12, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Addition of information
This page needs a lot of work Jing is the most important part of Traditional Medical Knowledge. The explanation still needs work. There are two parts to Jing the yin and yang the form and the function. Both support, creat and control each other. I have run out of time. We can add the Internal aspects back for Tao yin and nei gong latter. Zongqi (talk) 10:43, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
