Chinese saying: Daojia has three most important things: Jing/Qi/Shen 精、气、神 . In these three ones, everything starts from Jing精. But what is Jing精 ? For some reasons, the writers always dont tell you the truth about their experiences directly, they like to use many obscure words to cover their simple truth about Jing 精. That makes their followers into a misterious and confused understandings about Jing精. No ground for blame on this approach ! This is one of human beings culture ! But not all the writers like to cover them in their books . More than two thousand years before, Chinese famous medicinal book 《Huang Di Nei Jin》has told us what Jing精 is by the clear and simple and understandable words. In 《 Huang Di Nei Jin. Suwen. Ping Re Bing Lun 》it tells us like this: When the virus attacks the cover of our body, our body immune system ( Zheng qi 正气) always fights with the virus by sweating 出汗. Where is our sweat ( Jing 精) from? It comes from our stomach and spleen. If your immune system正气 can sweat when the virus attacks your cover, then, you lost your fever, and can have food, you win(精胜! Your Jing 精 win! If can not have food, and hot still, your Jing 精 lost ! And so, if you want to get enough Jing精, you must have a good stomach and spleen first. No them, no Jing 精 will be produced! And now, you understand what you should do for in your martial arts or Qi gong trainings ! That is: Always keep your stomach and spleen into a good condition first ! ( Chinese saying ! Please understand it in Chinese culture ! ) Hope my this understanding can help you to understand Taojias culture deeper!
