Chinese people still refer to the weather as heaven qi. Every energy field strives to stay in balance, so whenever heaven qi loses its balance, it tries to rebalance itself.

The Chinese believe earth qi is made up of lines and patterns of energy as well as the earth's magnetic field and the heart concealed underground.  These energies must also bein balance; otherwise, disasters such as earthquakes will occur.
