Is Qi  spiritual or physical?

I do not think I'm the right person to answer this question.   It might be a guess only.   And I hope more people will be involved in this study.

My first observation is that Qi seems to be physical.  Qi can be moved around your body and there will be effects happenning when th Qi arrived.

More experiment is needed to see if the Qi can move outside your body into other places.

It seems Qi is a mind activity.  In that sense, Qi must be spiritual.

But it is not totally spiritual.

All Chinese know about the poem by Wen Tian Xiang:  "The Song of Positive Qi",  in which,  Qi is a positive spirit, more than an mind-controlled energy.

Maybe they are two different things,  or two  different features in the same object.

One kind of Qi is spiritual.

The other kind of Qi is physical.

We need a spirit as a  ultimate support in our living or fighting.

But we also need a strength.

The strength is from our inner energy.

And our inner energy can be called or stimulated.

It is extremely important. 

You will have a healthy body.

And more important of all:  You will have a healthy country,  you will be strong,  together with you fellow comrades in the strong country.
