    The document outlines different types of qi in traditional Chinese medicine. It describes yuan qi/primary qi as the original qi derived from the kidneys. It also discusses acquired qi which includes zong qi from the lungs combining air qi with food qi from the spleen, as well as qu qi from breathing. True qi is formed when acquired qi combines with original qi and circulates through the body to nourish organs and defend against pathogens.
