Hello Hasan:

 

In answer to your question, here is what Wiseman and

Ye have to say in terms of definition:

 

Jing or Essence is that which is responsible for

growth, development and reproduction, and which

determines the strength of constitution, manifest

physically in the male in the form of semen. Essence

is composed of Earlier Heaven Essence (pre-natal),

inherited from parents and constantly supplemented by

Later Heaven (post-natal) acquired essence produced

from food by the Stomach and Spleen.

 

Later Heaven essence is considered the same as, or

derivative of the essence of grain and water from

which Qi, Blood, and fluids are produced. Essence is

often referred to as Essential Qi, and because it is

stored by the Kidneys, it is also called Kidney

Essential Qi.

 

Qi is more complex, but this is the essence of their

definition:

 

Qi is highly active, human growth and development as

well as all physiological activity and metabolism are

manifestations of Qi’s activity. The temperature of

the human body and the ability of organs and tissues

to perform their functional activities are dependant

upon the warming actions of Qi.

 

Qi is the outer defense of the body, and prevents

evils from entering. Production of blood and fluids,

fluid distribution and the conversion of fluids into

sweat and urine are all the result of Qi

transformation. Implicit is the notion the motion or

bearing of Qi.

 

Qi bears upward, downwards, inwards and outwards,

carrying Blood and fluids along. Combinations of these

four movements explain all movements within the body.

“Qi contains the blood,” means that Qi has a

containing function, which also prevents excessive

fluid loss or excessive urination.

 

Does that help to clarify things?

 

Kind regards, Jack
