Bo Mou History of Chinese philosophy / Routledge history of world philosophies, Vol.3. p.72 «It is interesting to note that the original texts of the Zhou-Yi did not mention qi, and it is not until the writing of the Yi-Zhuan commentaries of the Yi text that the term qi was used. But this is not to say that experiences and understanding of qi as a living force may not begin with the observation and experiences of the yin-yang forces in process of change in reality (nature)».

Chi is said to be a living force that flows rhythmically through „meridians“ in the body. The methods of acupuncture and acupressure are used to stimulate the flow at special acupoints along these meridians, although their location has never been consistently specified. The chi force is not limited to the body, but is believed to flow throughout the environment. …As modern science developed in the West and the nature of matter was gradually uncovered, a few scientists sought scientific evidence for the nature of the living force».

It has always struck us as odd that proponents can accept that this mysterious energy is unable to interact with the physical matter in the sensors of measuring instruments (which could confirm its existence) while it is still able to interact with the physical matter of bodily organs to „read“ their state of health and produce a cure». «8. For instance, no reputable scientist has ever found an anatomical basis in the circulatory, nervous, or lymphatic systems for the „meridians“ through which the health-enhancing vital energies posited by TCM are supposed to flow».
