As China's fast growing enterprises go international, traditional Chinese culture is also getting popular outside. Qigong, one of the cultural symbols, is going outside to showcase the skills

Six delegations, organized by the Chinese Health Qigong Association (CHQA), will visit seven countries - Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Australia and the United States,where they have never been before.

Qigong also known as Chi Kung, is a system of deep breathing exercises.It is a Chinese traditional art of fitness, which refers to the type of exercise that manages the health of mind, body and breath. The word consists of two Chinese characters: qi and gong that refers to both the signal that controls the functioning of the body and the actual functions of the body.

As China goes international, the outside world become more interested in traditional Chinese culture. Some typical Chinese symbols, like martial arts, acupuncture and tai chi have spread around the globe. Qigong as a gem of traditional Chinese cultural symbols won't lag behind.
