I have listed neigong as a form of qigong in the see also section of that article. If that is correct, it should be noted here. If not, then the annotation on the other article should be corrected. -- Beland 20:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The word "breathing" in the intro links to the qigong article. The terminology is kind of tricky, while I agree that neigong is a style, or a subset, of qigong, there are those who claim the word neigong itself is older than the word qigong which they say was only coined as a term relating to breathing exercises in the 20th century. As with so many other older Chinese practises, there is so little reliable documentation in English as to whether or not that is true that I intentionally left it ambiguous. If you would rather have the link more direct, though, that would be fine with me. --Fire Star 火星 17:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
