Chinese Qigong received little attention and was on the verge of extinction after 1949. People began to attach importance to Qigong in the 1980s, but some superstitious activities seized the chance to spread. As a way of health preservation, Qigong has been recognised by the academic circle, and there are specific magazines studying Qigong. Meanwhile, there are many similarities between Chinese Qigong and Indian Yoga, therefore, Chinese and Indian scholars attach importance to them, and conduct relevant studies.
