By definition, Yuan Qi and Zheng Qi are not the same kind of Qi.
1. Yuanqi: Yuanqi is the most fundamental qi in the human body, based on the innate essence, relying on the essence of the latter to nourish, and rooted in the kidney qi. Yuan Qi can be the main reproductive function and growth and development of the human body, but also the root of the body’s gas, the physiological activities of the other five viscera and six bowels are inseparable from the participation of Yuan Qi.
2. Zhengqi: Zhengqi is a kind of gas opposed to the evil gas, Zhengqi within, the evil can not be dry. Positive qi has the role of anti-evil, defense, regulation. The human body can resist external evil, is to rely on the body’s positive qi, the occurrence of disease, the development of the nature of the positive qi and the results of the fight with the evil qi. Of course, when the vital energy is sufficient, the positive energy is sufficient, and the two are closely linked.
Yuan qi is not positive qi, but the two are closely related.
