Ämne: RE: re qi/ hot qi

 

" 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.

>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.
