Qi, origin of the universe, is the basic condition of life. The movement forms of Qi include ascend- ing, descending, exiting and entering, which is the key to sustain life activities. The movement disorders of Qi mainly include Qi stagnation, reversed flow of Qi, Qi collapse, Qi blockage, Qi desertion, etc. Qi collapse means insuffi- ciency of Qi ascending or excess of Qi sinking. By reviewing ancient-modern literature and experience of past doctors, combined with clinical practice, the authors find that the forms of Qi collapse are variety. In clinic, there is not only spleen-stomach Qi collapse, but collapse of pectoral-qi, liver-qi and kidney-qi. The authors summarize the pathogene- sis, clinical manifestation and clinical significance of different Qi collapse forms.
