Qi or chi is called the life force. Qi does have oxygen but oxygen is not the only Qi. There is different types of Qi, breathing is the most useful Qi since breathing is part of what keeps humans going in every day life. There are different types of breathing you can do to use Qi and develop Qi. So if you look at humans use breathing to get oxygen and release carbon dioxide which trees use to make more oxygen. Within oxygen there is Qi and within carbon dioxide there is Qi. This is why Qi is called the life force. Water also has Qi, food you eat has Qi, and the Body has Qi. There is a meeting point in the body where all 3 meet which is in your stomach, its above the navel. So oxygen and breathing do have Qi but is not the only Qi, its taught that every living and non living thing has Qi. Even when a human or animal may pass on his/her Qi is still here its life force never stops or ends it moves in a different space. They have many books on Qi and development of Qi either for health or Martial Arts. Hope this helps you to understand, but research of Qi is always in motion.

Who know luck feng shui tips?

Feng shui (Chinese geomancy) has been used for thousands of years by Chinese people to harmonize themselves to their environment and to create good fortune. Basic to all feng shui observation, calculation, and cures is the I Ching, the bible of Chinese philosophy. The I Ching is a system of Yin and Yang, which composes 8 trigrams that, in turn, form 64 hexagrams. The 8 trigrams are created from the interaction of Yin and Yang, hence the ba gua. In Chinese ba means the number 8 and gua means trigram, thus the term ba gua signifies the 8 trigrams. Feng shui is the observation and adjustment of Qi. The simplest definition of Qi is that it is the interaction of Yin and Yang as primal forces of Qi. All elements, both animate and inanimate, have Qi. The earth, plants, animals, weather - even dead things all have Qi. Qi is both tangible such as electricity, breath, blood, bones, wind, water, plants, rocks, and buildings, and intangible as in ideas, symbols, and spirit. Qi also is connected to the dimension of time.
