 * It is very interesting. Do you know when the Zhong Gong school was founded? --Fire Star 火星 03:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I think this page does not give enough information to stand alone, it should be merged with the article qigong. What is your opinion?

I couldn't figure out why that reference was not working properly. I just deleted the chapter title, since the book itself is usually what should be referred to.--TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, I think this article could do with a lot more work. Zhong Gong's centralised and highly bureaucratic structure is probably the most notable feature, taking the commodification of qigong to an extreme and franchising it. Palmer provides a capable analysis. Later, I could try to summarise and fill in those details. --TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 16:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Your input would be most welcome. Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 14:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. Some feedback on the edits would also be welcome. I will do some research. --TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 14:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

"According to He, Zhong Gong had an elaborate organisational structure, and "; this is rather mysterious. The sentence cuts off right there, without even a period. I clicked through to the Google book, and unfortunately that page was unavailable. --TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 15:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

My mistake. That page is missing, but the one after it is available. Also, I think Google books is sometimes capricious in what it allows users to see. If anyone can access p. 225 of the above, quickly type out some relevant notes and add them to the article. I'm blocked from seeing that page, but I can see p. 226 just fine. --TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 15:34, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I am finding that there is a dearth of in-depth literature on Zhong Gong. Every entry I checked on JSTOR (predictably, in hindsight) was talking about 中共, not 中功. Perhaps the best sources are just David Palmer and David Ownby's texts. Presumably the policies on how much can be written from a limited range of source material are not too strict. I will add one interesting non-sequitor for now though.--TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 17:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
