First Chi prepares this content. It has not been presented as reviewed by medical or teaching experts. Citing an institution does not imply its endorsement, and traditional sayings are not evidence of medical benefits.
Match the source to the question
- Practices and versions: We prioritise version descriptions, teaching materials and original information from relevant organisations.
- Health research: We use research papers and information from credible institutions, explaining who was studied and the limitations.
- Product features: We describe the actual product and distinguish existing features from planned courses.
How we use other sources
We begin with a reader's question, check original material and other sources, then write our own explanation. Comparisons, learning checks and further reading are organised around that question.
When accounts differ, we identify the version and its scope. If we cannot verify an original source, we say so. We do not create articles by merely changing words or stitching together passages. Full reproductions, complete translations and external images require separate permission records.
How we describe research
Research summaries retain the study type, participants and programme details. A review's total sample is not the sample of any one subgroup. Positive findings are not a promise of an outcome for every reader.
Findings about one practice do not automatically apply to another. Studies evaluate particular programmes, not every course with the same name.
How we maintain translations
Language versions share content identifiers. Titles, terminology and explanations are checked for each audience. We link language versions when both the page content and its navigation are ready.
English pages are at the root and Chinese pages are under /zh/. Translation includes checking study details, numbers, sources and revision scope. Changes to one version require a review of its counterpart.
Instruction and illustration
Jingang Gong teaching images are course illustrations checked individually against the project materials. Images whose postures could not be verified were removed. A still image shows one position, not a complete movement. Garden, mountain and stream illustrations are decorative, not proof of technique, teaching credentials or health outcomes.
Phone images are screenshots from the app. Practice-day panels are labelled as sample data. For questions about a lesson or an image, contact support@firstchi.com.
Updates and corrections
This editorial policy was updated on 2026-11-15. Research notes distinguish an abstract, relevant sections of an accessible full text and institutional information. Downloading a page alone does not count as evaluating a study. Changes to a conclusion also require checking related topics and homepage summaries.
First Chi is operated by YANG LI, an individual publisher. To report a factual error, translation issue or concern about an image, email support@firstchi.com with the page address and the relevant sentence or image.
What this website covers
The website provides general information, learning preparation and product explanations. It does not diagnose conditions or select practices based on a person's symptoms. Movement descriptions are not an individual assessment of suitability.
