Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi, an interesting study on how deep tcm terms have penetrated the normal population's vocabulary in China. This study was done in Hong Kong. Re Qi or hot qi is called yit hei in Cantonese. People indeed use it very often. My wife says it to me all the time Research . Parental use of the term " Hot Qi " to describe symptoms in their children in Hong Kong: a cross sectional survey " Hot Qi " in children Flora Y Kong , Daniel K Ng , Chung-hong Chan , Wan-lan Yu , Danny Chan , Ka-li Kwok and Pok-yu Chow Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2006, 2:2 doi:10.1186/1746-4269-2-2 Published 5 January 2006 Abstract (provisional) Background The Chinese term " Hot Qi " is often used by parents to describe symptoms in their children. The current study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of using the Chinese term " Hot Qi " to describe symptoms in children by their parents and the symptomatology of " Hot Qi " . Method A cross sectional survey by face-to-face interview with a semi-structured questionnaire was carried out in a public hospital and a private clinic in Hong Kong. The parental use of the term " Hot Qi " , the symptoms of " Hot Qi " and the remedies used for " Hot Qi " were asked. Results 1060 pairs of children and parents were interviewed. 903 (85.1%) of parents claimed that they had employed the term " Hot Qi " to describe their children's symptoms. Age of children and place of birth of parents were the predictors of parents using the term " Hot Qi " . Eye discharge (37.2%), sore throat (33.9%), halitosis(32.8%), constipation(31.0%), and irritable (21.2%) were the top five symptoms of " Hot Qi " in children. The top five remedies for " Hot Qi " were the increased consumption of water (86.8%), fruit (72.5%), soup (70.5%), and the use of herbal beverages " five-flower- tea " (a combination of several flowers such as Chrysanthemum morifolii, Lonicera japonica, Bombax malabaricum, Sophora japonica, and Plumeria rubra) (57.6%) or selfheal fruit spike (Prunella vulgaris) (42.4%). Conclusion " Hot Qi " is often used by Chinese parents to describe symptoms in their children in Hong Kong. Place of birth of parents and age of the children are main factors for parents to apply the term " Hot Qi " to describe symptoms of their children. The common symptoms of " Hot Qi " suggest infections or allergy. http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/2/1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 " Re Qi " here is like saying " inflammation " or " fever " . Since this is long a Chinese term, it of course would find use in the common vernacular. Other terms like " Gan Mao " or " Shang Feng " are also very common, but terms like " Feng Re " or " Feng Han " are not in the Chinese common vernacular.
